Arbor Plumbing & Backflow is a plumbing and irrigation company based out of Garner, N.C. Residential/Commercial new construction and renovations. We empower our staff with the tools, capability, authority and responsibility to do their jobs well!

"Beware of this company! I am a general contractor and have never seen a company run so poorly. I tried them out because of their great Google reviews, but unfortunately it did not work out and I had to fire them. I had to call multiple people multiple times to try scheduling work, they were not on time and just generally unprofessional. Obviously, I will not be using them again. Here is a direct quote from and email I received from my customer asking me to bring in another plumber: Some specific concerns include: Lack of Property Protection – Larry does not use shoe covers, floor coverings, or other protective measures. He also does not clean up before leaving. Kitchen Plumbing Rough-In – He left a significant mess in the kitchen that I had to clean myself when he roughed in the kitchen items. Work Under the House – Nails, wood scraps, and water were left behind. He also moved and failed to replace the plastic encapsulating my crawl space, and insulation was left out of place. Kitchen Work – His latest trip to the house, Larry rushed to gather materials to work in the kitchen, but did not complete the work, leaving the materials out. Powder Room Rough-In – He failed to protect my flooring and left debris in my cabinet, which was later moved to the garage. He also discarded scrap piping in my front planter. Wall Cut-Out – He rushed to leave without reinforcing the 2x4s, in the powder room requiring additional work after the flooring is complete. He was only at the house for an hour and had to depart since lives far away. I was expecting him to install items in the kitchen and rough in the bathroom. Nothing was done in the kitchen and minimal was done in the powder room. Tracking Debris – Drywall dust and wood shavings were tracked throughout the house, leaving me with over an hour of cleanup. Some trash was even left in my wife’s office. The mess he left in the bathroom was worse than the mess that you saw under the house. Damage to Cabinets – He nicked a new cabinet door and did not take care when placing the items to work in the kitchen. This happened and he did not do any work. This was just from his tools working near the cabinetry."

Water softener services FAQs

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:

  • System capacity 

  • Home size

  • Water hardness levels

  • Type of water softener

  • Presence of electricity in the installation area

  • Local permit costs

Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.

It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.

Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
