Hi, Angi, I'm Joshua, and I have been in the plumbing business for over twenty years. Plumbers are the front line of defense when protecting the public's health. I use the word Doctor in my name for this reason; knowing that my services help keep families safe is why I am grateful to be a plumber! After working for corporate plumbing companies in Long Island, NY, and Charleston, SC, my wife and I started Drip Doctor LLC to more efficiently bring my plumbing expertise to the people of Charleston. You will receive the highest-quality plumbing services without corporate prices. Our dedication to quality, safety, and customer service align with our Christian values and love of helping people. Give us a call today to see how we can bring you the plumbing peace of mind you deserve!

"Could not have gone any better. Instead of just doing the basics, Drip Doctor brought to my attention problems that turned out to be very important. They worked very close with me and solved every problem that came up. I don't believe every plumbing company would pay attention to the details like Drip Doctor. You can't hire a better plumbing company than Drip Doctor."

"Worst experience I have ever had with remodelers. They installed my pergo flooring in my kitchen and it began to come up. It was well within the warranty period. We called and left messages with the owner Sean for 3 months before one of his workers, Gregory. Gregory told me that he was going to give me a deal. I would only have to pay for the flooring but he would pay for the service to redo the floor. I did not understand how this was a good deal since I had already paid to have a job done correctly the first time. Finally Sean, the owner agreed that since they did the job poorly and my floors looked so bad that he would pay. This was after my stepdad got so angry that he told Sean he was going to file a lawsuit. We all thought that was really nice, until they came and screwed up in the linoleum floor I had decided to put in. They were getting ready to leave, after the installation. It was only after we had to stop them and show them all of the bubbles that they left in the flooring.The used a roller to try to get the bubbles out and all it did was leave creases. Reason being, they had not taken the glue off the floor where they had previously glued the tiles. The pattern on the glue was coming though the smooshed up vinyl. That is how they left it. It looks horrible. They had it written down that they would take the glue off but then they did not. I thought new floors would be a selling point. How am I going to advertise new floors when they seriously look 10 years old? Again, called the owner Sean, multiple times. We asked him if he would come over and look, no response. The only time we ever heard from him, after 3 months was when my stepdad was so mad he was ready to file a lawsuit and he told Sean that. I'm sorry but you mess up not once but twice and the second time you don't even have the decency to come out and have a look?"

"They called ahead of the appointed time to see if they could come early, which they did. I was only expecting an estimate for work to be done. After discussing the project and providing an estimate for a revised, and reduced, scope of work, I hired them to do the work right then. They were efficient, and did everything we discussed. I thought the price was very reasonable."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

It does cost money to have a water softener, both for installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the taste of your water will be altered, especially if sodium is the ingredient you use to run the water softening system. Look up exactly what your chosen water softener will remove and what will remain because not all systems provide the same results.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.
