Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

We test hardness at your Creston 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) 435-9778Homes outside the Creston municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.

Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Creston 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 Creston 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 Union County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
