Hard water is a common water quality concern in homes. The minerals that cause hard water can easily seep through groundwater and enter the freshwater pipes after the water has already gone through a water treatment plant. A water softener in Des Moines, IA is often necessary to counteract hard water and the trouble it causes. You can arrange for a water softener installation with our expert plumbers.

About Us
You invested a good amount of money in your 
Spring is when we stress the importance of homeowners arranging for air conditioning maintenance. It’s the best time to have a cooling system given a full tune-up and inspection so it’s ready for the summer weather.
It’s the big moment of spring—the day when the temperature outside is finally hot enough that you need to have your heat pump change over from heating mode to cooling mode for the first time this year. You step up to the wall thermostat, make an adjustment to lower the indoor temperature to cooler than the outdoor temperature. You listen for the heat pump to kick on. The fans start up, air comes from the vents…
This week is the official start of spring! (Sound the trumpets.) It’s true this doesn’t mean we automatically get warmer weather, but it does signal that it’s time to start making preparations for when the warm weather at last settles in for a few months—and occasionally turns to hot weather. A crucial step in these preparations is to call up your local expert HVAC technicians (that would be us!) and tell them you want to have your annual air conditioning tune-up and inspection.
We offer service to install a variety of water treatment systems, such as filters, purifiers, and conditioners. One of the most powerful water treatment systems we can install in local homes is a reverse osmosis system. If you have concerns about issues with the quality of your drinking water or hardness in your water, a reverse osmosis system may be part of the solution. 
The garbage disposal is such a common part of modern kitchen plumbing that few people can imagine life without one. And they probably can’t imagine calling a garbage disposal anything else. But ask almost any plumber, and you’ll hear complaints about the name of this piece of kitchen plumbing. We agree: we don’t like the name “garbage disposal” at all because it causes too many misunderstandings among homeowners that can lead to damage to the plumbing system. 
This is a story about how an apparently simple part of an HVAC system, one often overlooked, can create all sorts of trouble for heating in a home. Although a cautionary story, it’s one you can easily avoid if you have a bit of knowledge—and access to a great HVAC expert in your area. You’ve already got the second part taken care of, since you only need to call our team for great professional 
There’s a good reason Shakespeare wrote a play titled A Midsummer Night’s Dream and not A Midwinter Night’s Dream. Midwinter can be a stressful time for handling a house, and one of the biggest concerns—a Midwinter’s Nightmare, if you like—is losing heating all together. There are also the smaller concerns of losing heating power so the house is still receiving heat, but there are cold spots and people can’t warm up enough, no matter how the thermostat is set.
One of the most common plumbing problems for homes in a city is hard water. Hard water is water with a high solution of minerals suspended in it, particularly magnesium and calcium. It’s difficult to prevent these minerals from entering the water, since they seep through groundwater and into the freshwater pipes on the way to homes. Standard municipal treatment doesn’t eliminate that. There is a good chance your home’s water hardness may be too high.
