"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."

"i didn't hire directly.  they came via a home insurance company referral to look at a problem.
they were solid.  liked the guy who came out.  he tried his best to get our water heater replaced by the water heater company, but ultimately they would only pay for a replacement, at which point i cut my losses and hired someone else - b/c the water heater was 19 years old and it would have been a temporary fix.

"Greg spoke with me twice prior to the review to explain what he could accomplish under the difficult circumstances of the power and water off. He truly is a Sherlock! I consider myself knowledgeable about construction, but Greg found significant issues that I missed. He was able to determine the full extent of the problem and estimate the cost to repair. I was emotionally attached to the house. With Greg's objectivity I was able to prepare a spreadsheet that proved that the repairs and my offer exceeded the market value of the house. He saved me from going under financially with this house. Greg explained his findings thoroughly to me. He even looked UNDER the insulation to find that the roof tresses were not sitting on a load bearing wall. HORRORS! Who would have guessed? He didn't guess, he went looking for the source of cracks over a window. A house is a huge investment. Greg can help you sleep at night knowing you did it right."

"Great! Daniel was quite a bit late from another job and didn't do a good job communicating that (I had to call the office to get updates). However, once he arrived, he did a great job of (1) listening to what the problem was, (2) talking me through my options, (3) providing an emergency fix so that we wouldn't have to live without hot water for the weekend. Estimated price seemed high, but in the right ballpark. For the second visit, Daniel was on time, did all the work in the expected time, and came in below his estimate. He was helpful and answered all my questions and showed me how to plumb the drain. Altogether, quite pleased."

"Tony took my call on a Thursday night -- quickly helping me to assess if my hot water heater was dead, trying to save me an unnecessary visit if possible. Once we determined I likely needed a new tank, he gave me both an immediate and next-day option. To save money, I chose the next day option, and Dustin and Jordan were great when they arrived the next morning! They quickly confirmed that my hot water heater was in fact dead, and they provided me with some options so I could choose the best approach, understanding both the issues and my budget. They were efficient, professional, very knowledgeable and delightful to work with. I'd absolutely call Danika in the future."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.
