QUAD CITIES WATER SOFTENER INSTALLATION

Have you ever considered installing a water softener in your home? Softened water is a great way to add value to your home. Water softeners are suggested for installation in any home that is looking to treat hard water problems. We're here to help you better understand what a water softener does, and why you might take a new look at installing water softening equipment.

SHOULD I INSTALL A WATER SOFTENER IN MY HOME?

If you have noticed mineral deposits around your faucets and shower heads, you could benefit from a water softener.

Hard Water Treatment

Hard water is caused by mineral deposits in your water supply. A water softener helps to remove unwanted minerals from your water. Have you ever seen mineral deposits around your faucets and shower heads? Those minerals aren't coming from your pipes, they're in your water. Hard water is more than just unsightly. Washing your skin with hard water can cause your skin to be dry and flakey. Hard water doesn't allow soap to fully lather. That means, your skin isn't being cleaned as well as it should be. The same is true for anything you wash with non-soft water. Your dishes may develop mineral build up even after through washing. Your clothes can also suffer from the minerals in hard water.

A water softener is an investment in your home and high quality water. Soft water tastes better than hard water. Hard water also fails to clean properly. If you're showering with hard water, you might start to notice dry skin.

BENEFITS OF SOFT WATER

  • Protects plumbing systems by reducing hard water, scale and lime buildup
  • Saves energy by reducing scaling - less scaling can improve the efficiency of your hot water heater
  • Save money by using less detergent - cleaning with soft water requires less detergent to be used
  • Soft water reduces spotting on dishes and faucets
  • Metered system will only recharge when it needs to based off of water usage

DOES INSTALLING A WATER SOFTENER CLEAN PIPES?

Water softeners help to undo the damage done by the effects of hard water. Over time, as hard water is used, it builds up mineral deposits in your water pipes. If not treated, these deposits will continue to build and can effect your water pressure. Installing a water softener halts mineral buildup and helps to prevent further damage to your pipes.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

I am writing to acknowledge the quality serviceman employed by Crawford Co. I am a 65-year-old woman whose husband was out of town. I came home at eleven p.m. with the temperatures at minus nine degrees to a broken furnace. The house was at 59 degrees and I didn’t have a clue what to do. I called my husband who walked me through a couple of simple options to try to jump start the furnace. When that failed, he suggested I call Crawford. Thankfully, a serviceman called me back. I didn’t want him to come out again in the cold, so I asked him if he could talk me through a possible easy fix. He tried so patiently to help me and then decided it would be best for him to come to the house. As grateful as I was he was willing to drive from DeWitt, I was nervous about having a stranger come to the house in the middle of the night. (Old ladies worry about that.) First and foremost, when you call Crawford you can be sure of quality service, I know that. The young man, Drew, came promptly to the house and handled the situation as you would expect him to do. What was exemplary was his understanding of my upset and was pleasant, confident, capable and very reassuring. In the middle of the bitterly cold night, this man explained what he was doing in “my” terms, totally repaired and cleaned the furnace, checked flues outside and made me feel safe and warm. Those are things that company training cannot instill in a person. I thank Crawford for employing this man and I thank Drew for helping me when I was most upset. My hope is that he would be recognized and rewarded for his abilities to do his job, but also his kindness and understanding of people.
