"Problem with no water last night. After putting information in Home Advisor, we got a call from Ashley, Express Electrical Services around 9:30 pm. After discussing the problem, we set up an appointment for this morning, after lots of assurance about the breaker and water issue. We prayed for the best. This morning, got a call and said he would be here to check on the breaker. Got here at 10:00, checked the breaker box, and Praise the Lord and Bless Express Electrical Services, one breaker was lose and one breaker needed wires reworked. We have water again and life is good. Thanks to a good honest business. Thanks B & B"

"I called Max Mecabe of Mecabe Plumbing to replace my leaking water heater. Max showed up quickly with all the materials needed to do the job. He had the job done in less than 2 hrs for the agreed upon price. The work was neat and professional and I have not had a problem with the new water heater. I have also used him for kitchen and bath faucet replacement, furnace and shutoff valve off replacement. All the work has been excellent for a fair price"

"I had my old water heater go out on me and I hired Sir Flush-A-Lot Plumbing to come give an estimate on replacing my heater with a new tankless water heater. For starters, they showed exactly when scheduled to be here. Bryan was the tech. He gave us 2 different options that we could go with. We went with the tankless heater, in the garage, with a built in recirc pump. It took almost all day, but they got the new tankless heater up and running and it's amazing. Love the company, love the employees, love the service, and the product provided. Highly recommend Sir Flush-A-Lot Plumbing."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
