Water Softener Installation · Burlington, Iowa

Water Softener Installation in Burlington, Iowa

We test hardness at your Burlington 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.

Tree roots and the front yard

Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Burlington streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Burlington customers on our water softener installation work

★★★★★

They came out to a rental I own after hours because the tenant had no water. Kept me updated by phone the whole time even though I was three hours away.

Constance A. · Burlington, IA

★★★★★

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Lena M. · West Burlington, IA

★★★★★

Main water line between the meter and the house had a leak. They located it, replaced the run, and got the yard back to reasonable. No complaints at all.

Water Softener Installation in Burlington: common questions

How hard is the water in Burlington?

Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Burlington tap so the softener is sized on your number rather than a regional average.

Will a softener help my water heater last longer?

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.

How much salt will it use?

A correctly sized unit for a Burlington 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.

Do I need a softener if I am on a well?

Often yes, and sometimes you need iron filtration alongside it. Well water in Des Moines County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.

Do you have a plumber available in Burlington right now?

Almost always. Our Burlington line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
