Signs Your Water Softener Needs Repair
Common red flags include water that doesn’t allow soap to lather or rinse clean, white spots or scale building up on dishes and plumbing fixtures, dry or itchy skin after showers, unusual noises coming from the system, and even water that feels different or carries a salty taste.
If you notice any of these, your system may not be cycling, regenerating, or softening properly. Don’t risk damage—let us diagnose it right.

FAQs About Water Softener Repair in Lake City
What’s the average cost to repair a water softener?
The cost of repairs depends on the nature of the issue and the condition of your system. Minor problems are typically quick to fix, while major parts or control head replacements may require more extensive service.
Repair or Replace?
If your system is under 10 years old and the issue is minor, repairs are usually your best, most cost‑effective option. Replacement may be wiser for older, inefficient, or frequently failing systems.
How long do water softeners generally last?
Most units last 10–15 years with proper maintenance—though lifespan varies based on water quality, system design, and care.
Can I troubleshoot it myself?
You can safely check salt levels and monitor signs like bridging or buildup. But for complex repairs—valve issues, mechanical breakdowns—it’s best to rely on certified pros like ours to prevent damage.
Do you work with all brands?
Yes—our experienced technicians service and repair all major water softener brands.
