Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Water Softener Installation in Harlan, Iowa
Most of Harlan runs hard water, and hard water quietly costs money. It scales the bottom of a water heater until the burner works through a crust, furs up faucet aerators and shower heads, leaves spots on everything out of the dishwasher, and puts more soap and detergent through the house than you need.
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.

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Harlan homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

Reliable is the main thing. Third time we have used them across two houses and it has been the same experience every time.

Our old cast iron stack was scaled almost shut. They jetted it and the difference was obvious immediately. Showed me before and after footage.

Water Softener Installation in Harlan: common questions
How hard is the water in Harlan?
Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Harlan 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 Harlan 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 Shelby County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Harlan?
Usually within the hour for Harlan addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
