"Requested a quote for converting our old hot water heater to a new tankless unit, Southern Plumbing sent Nick S. to us, hands down the most professional,, and meticulous repair job. Nick beat Michael and Sons’ estimate by $2000 for the same unit without even knowing it. Southern’s business office was responsive, honest, and fast. I Would highly recommend Southern Plumbing."
"Commonwealth Plumbing is a small local operation. The plumber came quickly to assess my farm well pump problem and was ready to tackle the job. He received a call from a customer who had no water in the house with children. The plumber asked if he could take care of that job first as a genuine concern. My well pump is just for irrigation which is not critical compared to a family without water. The plumber headed off , took care of the family and returned first thing the next morning and repaired my system. Excellent work, reasonable price, as well as compassionate."
"Today, I started off my day stressed, mentally preparing myself to give up 2 limbs for a whole new well (suggested by 3 other well companies) & tonight we can sleep knowing our water is clear again w a well FULL of water! Mikeâ  s guys, Micky & Nick, located a water leak in a pipe that I had no idea about, also fixing a minor repair w/in my well. GOD.IS.AMAZING & so is NOEL WELL & PUMP! I am beyond thankful for his kindness, his empathy & awesome service! If you have a well or know anyone who needs service, this company is it!"
"The representative came out to look at my main house water valve under the house to make sure it wasn’t leaking. He said all was well. Very professional and informative. I will definitely call on them again."
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.
Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.
Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.
While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.
