"DO NOT USE: We were quoted $6K for a shower kit install. Upon completion of the work, it was immediately apparent that the installation was defective and did not meet acceptable industry standards. Specifically: No water membrane was installed behind the shower kit, rendering the installation non-compliant with waterproofing best practices. No caulking was applied to seal seams, leaving the installation vulnerable to water intrusion and damage. The walls and surrounding trim were not plumb, which made it impossible to install a functioning shower door. A McLendon's supervisor subsequently inspected the installation onsite and acknowledged the poor workmanship. We were informed that the matter would be addressed, but despite multiple follow-up phone calls, we received no further communication or resolution from McLendon's. Nevertheless, the remaining balance of $3,100 was charged to our account without our authorization or consent and without any resolution."

"It is not often that a repair person comes to your home and performs above expectations. Michael, from Mainline Plumbing, did just that. He corrected the challenge of a sub flow kitchen faucet that has plagued us for several years. The plumber, who previously installed it said that it was what it should be. Once my wife used the corrected faucet, she kept saying, “I can’t believe it!”"

"I hired this company to check an error code on my water heater. They informed that the anode rod needed to be replaced or I could just replace the entire water heater. They gave me several quotes including $4800 to replace just the anode rod or $4500 to replace the whole water heating unit, but wouldn't show me pricing details. I told them to move forward with the repair and afterwards he could walk me through the details of the pricing. They charged my card for $4127 plus tax. I asked to see an itemized invoice and was told I would be sent one when the technician completed his notes. I later received a one line item invoice for $4127 plus tax for a 50 gal electric water heater replacement, several photos, and nothing more. I looked up the retail cost of my new water heater and it is only $825. The average cost in my area is $1000-$2300 for installing a replacement water heater of its size and kind. This company will overcharge you. I?ve filed with the AG for price gouging. "

At Jim Dandy we strive to provide property owners with exceptional sewer and plumbing services that enhance a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment. We treat our customers and their property with integrity and respect and aim for excellence in all areas, including our outstanding customer service. We are committed to fair and honest pricing. Furthermore, our sewer plumbing technicians are not commissioned salespeople. When you call Jim Dandy Sewer and Plumbing contractors we give you a ball park price for plumbing and sewer services over the phone. Our technicians will arrive at your home prepared to fix your drain, repair your sewer line or clear your clog. We will not attempt to up sale you for services you do not need. Unlike our competitors we do not offer free estimates, because we know that this is just a ploy used by our competitors to get into your home so they can sell additional services to you that you may or may not need.

"I asked them to locate the septic tank. They failed but they offered to try to replace the septic line for $9,000. When I said I needed another opinion they offered to unclog my slow-draining septic system with a snake. They said it might not work but they would try if I wanted them to and it would only cost $700+. I agreed. They ran their snake through the system and got it stuck in the septic tank. They could not pull it out so they asked me if they could cut it off inside the house. They said it could be pulled out from the other end through the septic tank but they could not do it because they are not licensed to work on septic systems. Why did they run a snake through a septic system? I had to let them cut the snake. They could not leave their machinery with me. They offered again to replace the septic line for $9,000, this time to get the snake out. I declined. The snake is so stuck in the septic line and tank, multiple septic companies said they cannot remove the snake, and left in the line it will clog the line and I will have to connect to the sewer. That, with landscape repair, could cost $50,000. Jim Dandy claims their work order says they are not responsible for disabling my septic system and they don't want to discuss it. A septic company found the septic pump failed and is the actual cause of the problem. The septic line was never clogged. It is draining with the snake in it. The septic company said they are "blown away" that Jim Dandy snaked a clay septic line. They said it's thinwall clay pipe that is easily damaged. They don't think they can remove the snake from the septic line without damaging the line. Jim Dandy has a hydro jetting service that could have worked and not damaged the system but they never offered it. They charged me $800 to snake the line and disable my septic system."

"Bob Larson is a scam. I bought a $10,000 on-demand water heater in November 2023. Bob Larson Plumbing recommended and installed the unit; at first, it was great. Since December 2024, the system has been having issues randomly turning itself off. It was more of a nuisance than a real issue at first. I could turn it back on. Bob Larson was called and came out twice but could not resolve the issue. In March of 2025, the problem got worse, and hot water was random at best, even if I reset the heater manually. Instead of resolving the issue or exchanging it, Bob Larson Plumbing is trying to sell me another unit. I am still under warranty. My original receipt shows a 5-year warranty on parts and labor. Bob Larson is an upselling scam. They will not be getting any more of my money."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.

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.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.
