"Residential Heat Pump failure. Previously serviced by another company, Told would need to replace system. Called Phil for estimate, explained chronological history of failure.

"I was impressed with Clyde when he responded immediately to my initial inquiry. He led by stating in that call that he would help us get our water back, which was a nice reassurance and he arrived at our home shortly after. After some diagnosing, he spent time very patiently explaining how he arrived at his conclusions and proceeded to find us a tank and install it, all of this in one day. He also helped with a few other small details while there. Thank you, Clyde for taking away the sting of losing our water and for standing by your word on the pricing. We would highly recommend again."

Marines Service Co., a Veteran-Owned and Operated business, serves Northern Virginia, including Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun, Stafford Counties and Richmond. We’re the “no haggle” handyman service company. We give you one fair price for the products and services we provide, and additional options when available. When we work with you, it includes our expert technician coming out to your house to accurately assess your issues. If you decide to use us to fix your handyman problems, then we get right to work. Our hourly rate is $96 per hour! You’ll know upfront the price of repairs – no surprises! From hanging pictures and drywall repairs to kitchen and bathroom fixture installs, our professional team has years of experience to handle any job – big or small!

" We’ve been loyal Marine Plumbing customers for at least five years, and their service has been consistently excellent. But our most recent experience reminded us why we trust this company so much. On a Saturday night around 8 p.m., we discovered a leak on our main level—every homeowner’s nightmare. I was terrified we wouldn’t get help until the next morning. Instead, dispatch quickly sent Eric, a capable, kind, and highly skilled plumber. He was thorough in finding the source of the leak and stopping it, and he did so with a calm professionalism that instantly put us at ease. I’ve been a fan of Marine Plumbing for years, but I have no words for how much it meant to have a well-qualified person show up exactly when we needed help the most. Their reliability, expertise, and genuine care for their customers continue to set them apart. Highly recommend. "

"I brought my plumber plus technician to check a leak under the water heater. The communications regarding scheduling were effective; the technician was available promptly, and he was professional. The one star is based on highly insufficient communications regarding the product and services provided. This, in my view, resulted in deception, on the extreme, or at the least, misinformation and significant overcharge. This company is at the very high end of the price point. When you are facing an emergency and don't have time to do comparisons, be aware! I was offered $1500 to replace a small piece of narrow tubing leading to the water-heater; $3000 to add the pressurizer; and $4500 to replace the water heater! I was promised an energy efficient water heater for which I'd be able to take energy rebates or tax rebates. Upon the completion of work, I was given a receipt with one line - heater replacement - and a final charge. I requested and never received a breakdown of charges. The model of water heater that was installed is priced around $1000 on the market (I checked with multiple vendors). The model is HIGHLY energy inefficient (estimated $326 with $330 for annual energy charges for similar models). It is not subject to any energy or tax rebates. The manufacturer itself offers rebates but the plumber never offered me those. The plumber bashed the HomeDepot (6 year old) water heater that we had, but never explained what was the need and why the "commercial grade" water heater was installed in our house. In short, if you are willing pay the triple or quadruple price for speed and niceties, go ahead and use my plumber plus. This was my first and last time dealing with them."

FAQs for water softener service projects in Lignum, VA

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.
