"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."

"Michael was very professional and knowledgeable. He took out my old bathtub and put in a new shower. He also had to add some studs to the wall and redo my plumbing. Work was done quickly and attention to detail was outstanding!!"

"The contractors from freedom heating and Air were very fast and efficient with their work. They came in and took a look at what needed to be done. Took about 5 to 10 minutes to go get the equipment they needed and in less than a hour they were done. My wife and I are very pleased with the choice of hiring them to fix a leaky pipe that was leading to our gas furnace and the price for doing the job was well in our budget."

"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?

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?

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?

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.
