Our experienced team begins by testing your water supply to determine hardness levels and recommend the best softening system for your needs. We handle complete installation, ensuring correct setup for maximum efficiency and performance. In addition to installation, we provide routine maintenance services including system flushing, resin bed cleaning, salt refills, and performance inspections to keep your softener working at peak condition year-round.

EXCELLENT Based on 132 reviews Posted on Debra MorfeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A copper pipe in my basement sprung a significant leak over the weekend. I tried to reach several plumbing companies with little response. Tom answered my call and scheduled an appointment with me within hours. He was prompt and efficient, fixed the issue within a half hour. He was super pleasant and explained everything he was doing, step by step. When he was done with that, he took a look around at the rest of the system just to assure me that everything looked good despite the age of my home. His price was reasonable! I would highly recommend and will be calling him in the future!Posted on Diana FigueroaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I highly recommend him. - JanicePosted on Richard FriedmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom is a wonder. He came to my house for a plumbing problem in my bathroom toilet and did a quick and beautiful job repairing it, cleaning up the area and left it perfectly neat and tidy. Another time, I hit my toilet accidentally causing a slow but steady leak. Tom quickly fixed and charged me zero where others would’ve charged me at least $250 for what Tom did in a few minutes. In these days it’s difficult to find honest workers who charge reasonable rates but Tom is not typical. He’s an honest guy doing terrific work at reasonable prices and HE STANDS BY HIS WORK!! What a lucky find he was.
