"Advanced Plumbing won't give you an itemized bill because they markup their material by 133%. When I did not get an itemized invoice I contacted them for a clearer understanding of my bill. Here is quote from their email... "then our materials or any business that sells materials has a mark up, ours is 55-65% (depending on the material , large items are a little less than smaller items such as fittings) so a little more double the actual cost of the materials is a good rule of thumb so your bill was 1750 600 in materials so 1400 there then the 300 an hour ( that is a minimum charge for a site visit) so that is where the 1750 came from If the material was even marked up just 65% it would have only came to $990 not $1,400. Please check other plumbers before using Advanced Plumbing."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI in Franksville, WI, is the leading plumbing company serving all of Southeastern Wisconsin since 2006. We offer complete plumbing repairs, sewer and drain cleaning, water heaters and repair, and much more. For all your plumbing needs, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI in Franksville.

"When the plumber arrived (delayed by over six hours) to cap my gas line in preparation for an electric stove installation, he told me I didn't need to get the line capped in such a circumstance. He kept saying, "who told you that you needed this?" I believed it was the standard approach recommended by plumbers for safety. But he simply closed the gas valve and left. After that I confirmed I was correct and called Mr. Rooter for someone to come complete the job. I was told someone would contact me but no one ever did, so I had to rush to hire a different company. During a later ?apology call? (after my Yelp review was read) from Mr. Rooter to discuss my experience, it was suggested to me that had my husband been present during the visit by the plumber, my request for the gas line to be capped would have been taken more seriously (because a man would know more about plumbing, I inferred). Saying "this may sound chauvinistic, but" as a preface to this comment didn't soften the blow."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water isn’t unhealthy. It’s safe to drink, bathe in, and cook with. However, it can make some skin, hair, and scalp problems, such as eczema, worse by affecting the pH balance of your skin and hair. Additionally, some people don’t like the taste of hard water, but it does contain minerals that are important to your overall health, like calcium.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it’s also not great for your hair. That’s because hard water won’t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn’t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.
