Called on Christmas Eve about a frozen pipe. Fully expected a holiday surcharge and there wasn't one. Same price as any other day, which I did not expect and have not forgotten.

Water Softener Installation · Adel, Iowa
We test hardness at your Adel tap before recommending anything, because a softener sized off a guess either regenerates constantly or never keeps up. Then it gets installed with a proper bypass valve, an air gap on the drain, and the hardness dialled in to your actual reading.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Call (833) 435-9778Plenty of Adel homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Adel tap so the softener is sized on your number rather than a regional average.
Yes, measurably. Scale is what builds on the bottom of a tank and makes it rumble and lose capacity. Softened water slows that down considerably, which is why we often fit a softener and a heater together.
A correctly sized unit for a Adel family typically goes through a bag or two a month. If yours is eating far more than that, it is usually sized wrong or set wrong - both fixable.
Often yes, and sometimes you need iron filtration alongside it. Well water in Dallas County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
One number, answered around the clock, with the price agreed before we start.
