"Alex was hired to replace my water service line in Lake Stevens. He was very responsive, completed the work as planned and we had very limited water disruptions. I will recommend his company to others and keep him on speed dial in case we need plumbing services in the future. Great work Pete’s Plumbing!"

"They worked with me on all steps. Everything explained fully. Told me the access they would need for all work well ahead of time and I was able to schedule the work time so I wouldn't be rushed in moving things. They gave me options, I selected the option that I felt worked best for me and they did it. On time, on cost. Cleaned as they went. Arranged their work sequencing so that we wouldn't spend a night without gas (for hot water and furnace). Nice people at all stages."

"Great Service!!! I had a clog in my main sewer line. Called around 7am and was able to schedule an estimate same day. Got a call back from Andrew and was able to have them come in sooner, which was awesome! Plumbers David & Chris was courteous, friendly and professional. They were able to fix my issue swiftly and jet the roots out as well. I love the fact that they made sure that everything was working correctly before leaving, to ensure the issue has been resolved. They even ran a camera down my sewer line to insure me all the roots were gone, got a video as well. I had the same issue previously and called another company. I had to call them twice because they did not resolve the issue on both times out here. Hagee Plumbing fixed it.

"Greg is an outstanding inspector who helped us pull an offer from the first home we tried buying and helped us pull the trigger on buying the second. His work has helped us prioritize what needs to be done first, and postpone optional upgrades (we bought a 100-year-old house). He is a master of understanding the house's structural integrity, safety hazards, and moisture/water control. I would highly recommend him and our agent has already started recommending him regularly. If you are looking for the most thorough, straight-shooting, no-nonsense inspector, Greg is your guy. We also got a nice PDF outlining everything that is super easy to read while being incredibly detailed."

"We returned from an extended vacation to find that the kitchen sink(s) were unable to drain. We attempted to use a small snake to unplug the stoppage but failed. We called numerous plumbing firms without success. All were booked up for an extended period. We finally called Price Busters Plumbing even though they were headquartered more than 20 miles away. They went out of their way to schedule one of their technicians to come later in the same day. Nathan (Garcia) called prior to his arrival to verify location. He arrived on time and initially tried to clear the drain and trap with an automated "snake". The clog was so severe and remote that he was forced to go under the house to locate the problem. He transported the heavy automated device under the house, re-connected it to power, opened up the drain pipe and commenced to work the issue. After a few minutes he drain cleared and water drained freely. He was sensitive to our needs, knowledgeable, and very professional. Price Busters Plumbing advertised a special price ($89. + tax) that included a $10. discount in Angie's List. His efforts took and hour not including the extended travel time. We were charged exactly the advertised price. I can't recommend them, or Nathan Garcia, more highly. Truly, an excellent experience!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.
