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.

Water Softener Installation in Marion, Iowa
Most of Marion 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.

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

Straightforward people. Told me the repair on my eleven year old heater would work but probably only buy me a year, gave me both prices, and let me decide. No pressure either way.

Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Water Softener Installation in Marion: common questions
How hard is the water in Marion?
Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Marion 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 Marion 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 Linn County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
