We are a new business in your area with a master plumber with 25 years experience that cares for each customer and has but three goals. Our first goal is to provide a service to customers with the best quality and have the job done right the first time. Our second goal to teach our youth thru setting an example that u can have a future if your willing to work for it. Through my experience and skills I'm sure I can teach anybody how to do this job correctly with pride. Our third goal is to give back to our community with fund raisers to help a senior or family in need by providing a plumbing job or water heater ect to someone who otherwise could not pay for it. American company with American values.

"OUTSTANDING!! Don't call anyone else, but APPS. Bobby, David, Sebastian and Johnny - great team and did an amazing job. Had also called another service to compare estimate of the job - not even close to the quality of the repair that APPS did. Had to dig 20 feet down in my front yard, shore up the walls to repair the broken pipe. Their pricing is fair - and who wouldn't pay a little more for a great resolution vs. a lesser quality repair. These guys are professional, their word is good and about as honest a sub as there could ever be. I knew exactly what they were doing, when they would arrive, when they would be done, etc. Even had to leave two of the days with them still working and left my house open for them. They closed everything down each day, locked my house and I never had a concern about anything. THANKS GUYS, you're the best!"

"They installed a Viqua B4 system in 2016 and the technician was very nice and respectful but forgot to run chlorine through the appliances' water lines so I still had coliform bacteria in my system. So they came back out again to do that (and once again sent a very nice technician) but now I learned from the manufacturer (after having a positive test for coliform bacteria) they should've run chlorine through the outside faucet attached to the house as well which could be contaminating the inside water. Also the manufacturer said it should've sat for 4 hours w/the chlorine but they only had it in there for 30 minutes. Also they sold me a 2012 model although it was 2016 which did not include an automated display of bulb life left and alarm to let me know when to change the bulb. Snider said (through the very polite receptionist since he would not call me back to answer my technical questions) if the light is on then the system is working. So according to Mr. Snider I should not have bacteria but I do. Last year I called to have another company replace the bulb because Snider charges triple the price of other plumbers. The bulb has a retail price of $100 but Snider charges $300 plus a $65 dispatch fee because I am 20 minutes away. All you have to do to replace the bulb is lift it out of the sleeve and put in a new one which is not worth $265 for 5 minutes of work (you can see a video on youtube how it is done). Even the manufacturer said that price was ridiculous. Also when I cleaned the inside of the kitchen faucet before taking the water sample recently I noticed a pink film on my cotton swab which could be a biofilm. When you have a biofilm it protects the bacteria from being killed by the chlorine, and in this case a UV light will not help. They did not check for any biofilm when they came out to install the filter. If the biofilm is the problem then I may have wasted my money on a UV light that is not really necessary and not addressing the problem. The house may have sat for a while before I purchased it since it was a rental and this is kind of environment that would cause a biofilm to form."

"We've been happy with the system. The only issue we had was with the installer who left the job site after he finished without let us know or giving any instructions or information about operation of the system. Basically, he just picked up and left. After I contacted the salesperson and explained what happened, he came out, apologized, and explained the system operation and maintenance."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower—or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren’t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.
