Leaks at the tank or valve

Restore Your System with Professional Rebedding Service
If your water softener is 7–10 years old, it may not need replacement. Resin beads degrade over time due to chlorine and mineral exposure.
Rebedding includes removing worn resin, installing new high-capacity resin, adding fresh support gravel, and restoring original softening efficiency.
This service often restores performance at a lower cost than full system replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my water softener is not working?
Common signs include hard water stains, soap not lathering, stiff laundry, scale buildup, and salty or unusual-tasting water. Error codes or constant running cycles also indicate a problem.
How much does water softener repair cost?
This service can restore performance, save hundreds of dollars over replacing the softener, and most standard repairs fall within a typical range based on parts and labor. After diagnosing the issue, we provide a clear estimate before performing any work.
How long does a water softener last?
Most residential water softeners last 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Resin typically needs replacement around 7–10 years depending on water quality and chlorine exposure.
What is salt bridging?
Salt bridging occurs when a hardened crust forms in the brine tank, preventing salt from dissolving properly. This stops the system from regenerating effectively and can cause hard water to return.
Is it better to repair or replace a water softener?
If the system structure and control valve are in good condition, repair or rebedding is often more cost-effective than full replacement. We evaluate the system and recommend the most practical solution.
How often should a water softener be serviced?
Annual inspection and maintenance is recommended to ensure efficient operation and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
