"Company is very over-rated, gouges customers especially senior citizens. My condo is on the 14th floor and I was having problems with a washing machine backing up. I called Meetze, signed an annual service agreement, and paid $862.63 which included a $89 service agreement. Meetze ws not only to solve the problem in my condo but also was to review the pipes "on the other side" of the wall owned and controlled by the condo organization which was included in the $862.63. This, however, was not included in the final report. So, I called the manager, explaining all of this. He sent out two other technicians who also charged me $118 to check out the condo pipes owned and controlled by the condo organization. When I attempted to explain I had already paid for this, the personnel indicated there was nothing they could do about the situation. Then I experienced water back-up in a bathtub and drainage stop-up in my air-conditioning unit two other technicians came out and charged me $355 (took them all of 20 minutes to unstop the air conditioning drainage and they basically did nothing about the bathtub except to come in and use a plunger to make sure the commode was not stopped up and recommended a new stopper for the bathtub. They were "drainage specialists: and would have to re-schedule someone else to come out and replace the bathtub stopper. shame. Never call them is my recommendation. I certainly will not be using them again without some refund of the $1,335.63 I have paid!!!!!"

Cottrell & Co., Inc. Plumbing, Heating and Air is a full service residential and commercial plumbing, heating and air company that has proudly served the Columbia and Lexington areas since 1995. We have enjoyed building a reputation of excellence through quality parts, expert employees and maintaining high standards of workmanship.

"Do not use this company for backflow tests! I called Cottrell for a simple backflow device test. I was charged $213 for a backflow test which was over twice the amount I was told to expect by friends and family who had the same test done by other plumbers (one even showed me his invoice for $35.00). It is an absurd price for a very simple test and far overpriced compared to other plumbers in the area."

"Nice gentleman, very nice however, had to reschedule twice as they did not show. Connected hot water to cold in bathroom where they tighten the faucets. One sink is now leaking and one of the new faucets once not assembled properly. Called the day they finished to advise of the problems. One of the crew shared that they would be back the next day; it has been two weeks, still not here. Finally received a call back from owner and he advised that he would be there the nice day, that will be a week ago this coming Tuesday, no response. I knew going in that it was overpriced from the onset but wanted to give them some business. I would not recommend them for anything. The crew is amazingly friendly and I believe component; however, this is not a beauty contest. I got had. Lesson learned."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Irmo, SC
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.
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
