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 in Independence, Iowa
Most of Independence 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Independence 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.

Water Softener Installation in Independence: common questions
How hard is the water in Independence?
Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Independence 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 Independence 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 Buchanan County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
Do you work on commercial properties in Independence?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Independence. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
