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 · Oelwein, Iowa
We test hardness at your Oelwein 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 Oelwein 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.

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.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Humming, jammed, leaking or dead. Freed and repaired where it is worth it, swapped where the motor has gone.

Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Oelwein 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 Oelwein 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 Fayette County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
Almost always. Our Oelwein line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
One number, answered around the clock, with the price agreed before we start.
