We run a small restaurant and the grease line backed up during service. They jetted it after we closed that night so we opened normally the next morning. That flexibility is worth a lot to us.

Water Softener Installation in Johnston, Iowa
We test hardness at your Johnston 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.

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

Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.

They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

Water Softener Installation in Johnston: common questions
How hard is the water in Johnston?
Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Johnston 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 Johnston 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 Polk County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
How much does a plumber cost in Johnston?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
