The Neighbourly Done Right Promise?, delivered by Mr. Rooter Plumbing?, a proud Neighbourly company.
Are you looking for a plumbing inspection from a licensed plumber? Our team can help you. At Mr. Rooter® Plumbing, we’re very proud of our reputation for quality and excellent workmanship. We believe strongly in the importance of making our clients happy.
If you are experiencing issues with your residential or commercial plumbing, one of the questions you are probably asking yourself is: What will this cost me? It’s an understandable question. Maintenance and repairs can be costly. You deserve to know what you are getting into so you can plan and budget accordingly.
Plumbing codes often lay out very specific guidelines, and failure to abide by these codes can result in fines, revocation of permits, and revocation of plumbing licenses. These codes and their parameters are in place because a failure to properly install and repair plumbing structures can result in serious damage — not only to the home itself, but potentially even to other homes nearby, to city property, or the local environment.
Many customers face the challenge of identifying when their water softener requires repair or replacement, as these systems often operate out of sight. Thankfully, you don’t have to solve it on your own. If you have questions, check out our FAQ or call us today.
A water softener removes calcium and magnesium from your water by filtering it through a mineral tank of resin beads charged with sodium ions. Ion exchange pulls calcium and magnesium into the resin, and sodium ions enter the water (but not in high enough numbers to make it taste salty). The brine tank of salt recharges the resin beads with more sodium ions.
Water softeners usually last between 10 and 15 years. However, a quality water softener can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. To make your water softener last longer:
Only use evaporated salt in your tank
Flush your resin bed every few months
Clean the venturi valve inside and out twice a year
To gauge which size water softener you need, follow these tips:
Get a water test that tells you your grains per gallon (GPG) water hardness value.
Calculate daily water use in your home, either from your water bill or by multiplying the number of people in your home by 283 litres a day.
Multiply “daily water use x GPG value x 7” to find how many grains your system needs to filter out in a week.
Find a softener rated for that number or above.
When your water softener ceases to function as it should, immediate water softener repair is necessary to prevent the buildup of limescale and mineral deposits in your plumbing system. Whether you observe signs of hard water or unusual noises emanating from your water softener, our skilled professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing are here to resolve the issue promptly. We are committed to restoring the benefits of soft water to your daily life.
To diagnose and address your water softener problem effectively, we will:
Thoroughly clean the brine tank
Eliminate accumulated iron from the resin bed
Remove sediment buildup from the resin tank injector and bypass valves
Recalibrate the softener system and replenish it with salt
The consequence of untreated hard water includes damage to clothing, appliances, and an overall decline in water quality. Recognizing these issues and taking timely action can help prevent costly repairs and replacements.
To address water softener issues, follow these steps:
Inspect your water for signs of hard water, such as stiff laundry or reduced soap lathering.
If you notice problems, contact a professional service provider like Mr. Rooter Plumbing.
Professionals will clean the brine tank, eliminate iron buildup from the resin bed, and remove sediment from the injector and bypass valves.
Recalibrate the system and replenish it with salt if needed.
Consider replacement if your water softener is beyond repair to ensure that the new unit is installed efficiently.
