John, Kyle and Mike came and diagnosed there is a broken drain line from 20" away from clean out in the basement room. To repair They need to dig the concrete slab about 5"×3". They charged us $ 5245. They supposed to camera the drain line after they digged. But They did not . They said they fixed the problem but the same day we have water back up again. When we called them they said we have like second broken drain pipe which is 9 " away from clean out. The question is if there is a broken how did they camera past 9 " and reached 20" distance and diagnosed broken pipe. From that moment we know they are lying to us.

"LP came to service my water system on 4/4/2023. The service tech indicated I had a possible issue with my sump pump as he poured water and sediment from changing my cartridge/filter into the sump pump. He asked if I wanted an LP plumber to come out and to see what the issue was. I agreed. Plumbers came. 20-minutes later they left my home and I received an electronic invoice for $550.00. They never told me what was wrong. They did not provide an estimate to replace. They did not request a signature to accept the estimate and okay to perform the work. They did not request a signature for me accepting the work that was supposedly performed. When I opened the electronic invoice, my name had been forged in 2 areas. The invoice did not list what brand/manufacturer of sump pump was installed. The invoice did not have a price for the labor. There was a $100 deduction but no reason provided. When I called LP, a was switched over to a representative. She stated they could not provide the sump pump information I requested. No reason as to why. But wanted to know if I wanted to pay my bill. I did pay, but thought more about it and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. My request was simple: provide a new invoice with the manufacturer of the sump pump. It would be a good thing to have in the event the supposed NEW sump pump failed. Odd that another well known contractor who replaced this years ago, gave me their invoice with the name and manufacturer and brand name/model of the sump pump that was determined defective by LP. I still have that receipt but odd that LP, supposedly a professional company, literally refused to provide the information that I requested. LP did reach out but I did not take the call on my cell and was out the next day when they called a landline. Their rep replied was everything looked reasonable but they, LP, NEVER, and STILL HAS NOT provided the information I requested. The name of the new sump, model number, etc. that I would need should the unit fail after LP had performed the work. If the unit failed, how would I ever be able to call the maker, e.g., Kohler, and see if they would honor a warranty if it did fail. How hard would it have been for LP to honor this request? Because I, a senior citizen did not contact LP by phone, the BBB closed the complaint. Instead of requesting that LP provide the required information, they closed the complaint. Makes one feel like they were totally scammed and the reason they didn't know or want to provide the information is that didn't actually perform the work. Another senior - SCAMMED."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

Hard water doesn’t pose a risk to your physical health when you drink it. In fact, drinking hard water can help ensure you get enough of essential minerals like calcium in your daily diet. However, extremely hard water can contribute to dry skin and make your scalp itchy if you wash your hair in it too often.

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.
