"Southern Plumbing of VA came two hours after the window quoted. The two plumbers were professional. They communicated the issue clearly but sought to overcharge me because it was emergency plumbing. There was a clog between the house and the street. They quoted me over $1800 to run a snake 50ft. I told them that was an outlandish price and he said he'd make a call. 30 seconds later he came back with $950. I'm not sure how he was able to drop the bill 50% that quickly if the original quote was accurate. It seemed like they were trying to take advantage of a bad situation. Even he made a comment "well you need your toilets". They arrived, did the work and had left in about 40 minutes."

"I wouldn't have chosen this company based on other's reviews, but our house came with an AHS warranty so decided to use that instead of my own time clearing a couple of backed up toilets and checking on water in the crawlspace. The kid that showed up was obviously not used to communicating with people and seemed to have very little experience. I told him the toilets will probably need augered so he did this and the toilets were able to flush. He expended little effort investigating the leak (that we knew was down in the crawlspace by a previous inspection) and his only response was "looks good". 24 hours later our toilet is backed up again after only having liquids in it and he refuses to come back out. I don't really think he has the experience to do much other than auger a toilet, which anyone can do but Lockhart is contracted out by AHS so people get stuck with them. Read the reviews and if you have the ability to pick your own plumber I would highly recommend it."

FAQs for water treatment & purification system installation and replacement projects in Richmond, VA
Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.
Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.
Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.
Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.
Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.
Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.
To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:
Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.
Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.
Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.
Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
