"Great - Troy and Hunter were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves which was a big deal. This was not an easy install. The Water Softener that was installed was top quality. We have to work through a service contract for the upkeep and maintenance which was surprisingly very expensive. Like I said though - this was not your average Water Softener System and the original plumber had no clue about Water Softeners when the house was built. Wisler is unique in our area as they cover both HVAC and Plumbing. Previously we were working with 3 different companies to handle our HVAC and Plumbing needs. Reducing it to one does have value. Softener + New Filter to Front End Sediment + Services to Install was $7700. Maintenance contract I am told is $500 which was a bit of a shock but we are working through that."

"My wife and I started out needing someone to come in and fix a leaky tiled shower. We would need to retile the shower. When we started planning the repair with Mike, he offered some very creative ideas, indicating that things we had not considered were possible and doable. He first created a structurally functional space using the proper, more modern materials and technology that would all but guarantee that the shower would never leak. Mike helped us re-design the space and transform it into a beautiful space, thinking outside of the box, and doing things we had not considered possible. Our bathroom is not only structurally and functionally sound, but it is amazing--something you might find in a 5-star hotel. In addition to Mike's craft, he was timely, and considerate--working in our home, in the master bathroom, over the holidays with my wife and I both working from home due to COVID. Bathroom tile work can be messy and dusty. Mike was neat, confined the construction mess to the bathroom and not in the bedroom or the rest of the house. He was very easy to work with, was polite and respectful. As a side note--my wife and I continue to consider other related projects Mike could help us with."

"After years of freezing winters, we signed up for a membership with this company—a decision that changed everything. When Ryan, our HVAC technician, arrived for a routine check, he immediately noticed something wrong. The thermostat read 90 degrees, but the house was 50. For five years, I lived without heat in that house. I called company after company, but no one could fix it. Eventually, I lost hope and convinced myself the old house was beyond repair. Unable to face another winter, I moved to another city. But Ryan didn't give up. He went to the crawlspace and within five minutes found what no one had discovered in five years: the wiring was wrong, and the heating cable had never been plugged in. For the first time ever, warmth flowed through my vents. My home was finally warm. I'm incredibly grateful to this company for employing skilled, dedicated technicians like Ryan. I only wish I'd found them sooner—it would have saved me years of suffering and a move I never wanted to make."

"My installer was meticulous and paid attention to every little detail. He did excellent workmanship and had pride in his accomplishment. I love the results and was glad I had the shower enlarged and the ceramic is beautiful. It is a pleasure to take a shower."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Multiple visits for plumbing are often necessary due to local permit inspection schedules. Finding older cast-iron or galvanized pipes inside walls expands the project scope and requires extra sessions. Difficult crawl space access or extensive root intrusions also extend timelines. Additionally, coordinating water shutoffs with the regional water authority or ordering specific parts for older VA homes prevents same-day project completion.

Helpful?

Prepare for plumbing emergencies in Salem by keeping a water meter shutoff tool and basic freeze response supplies readily available. Maintain good inspection lighting to navigate dark crawl spaces safely. You should also keep manual drain-clearing tools on hand to clear minor clogs without using harsh chemicals. Finally, install basic moisture detectors in your crawl space to catch leaks before they cause structural damage.

Helpful?

In Salem, plumbing demands seasonal attention to prevent freezing. You should disconnect outdoor hoses and insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces before winter. Because local water carries moderate mineral content, flush your water heater regularly to remove sediment buildup. Inspect crawl spaces for moisture that accelerates pipe corrosion, and test basement sump pumps before spring rains arrive to manage groundwater intrusion effectively.

Helpful?

Salem residents rely on several types of certified specialists for plumbing. Residential service professionals handle daily fixture replacements and maintenance. Drain and sewer specialists focus on clearing root intrusions and performing camera inspections. You will also find professionals dedicated entirely to water heater installations. For properties on the outskirts of the city, specialized well and septic contractors manage non-municipal water and waste systems.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during plumbing work in VA is skipping required municipal permits for water heater replacements or sewer line repairs. Homeowners also fail to locate the main shutoff valve before starting work, risking severe water damage. Additionally, ignoring high moisture levels in crawl spaces causes new repairs to fail quickly. Always verify your pipe materials, as older homes often contain incompatible galvanized steel.
