How Does a Water Softener Work?
A water softener can normally be found in a garage or basement where the main water supply line enters your home. It consists of a mineral tank, a brine tank, a control valve, and a brine line. Water first enters the mineral tank which is filled with small plastic beads called ion exchange resin. The resin beads are coated with sodium ions which attract and bind to the calcium and magnesium ions in the water. The softened water then flows out of the mineral tank and into your home’s plumbing system for use. The calcium and magnesium ions that were removed from the water in the mineral tank are then flushed out into the sewer line, and the sodium is replenished by the salt in the brine tank.
Signs You Need Water Softener Repair
The process outlined above is fairly frictionless if you maintain your water softener by refilling the brine tank when it gets low and cleaning the mineral tank with a water softener cleaning solution once or twice a year. However, water softeners can still break down from time to time. Here’s what to watch out for:
Poor Water Quality
If the water coming from your taps tastes bad or smells bad and looks cloudy or discolored, this could mean that your water softener needs to be repaired. Hard water can cause a buildup of minerals in pipes and fixtures which will lead to poor water quality. Armor Air’s professional plumbers can check for any leaks or corrosion and determine if your softener can be repaired.
Clogged Pipes
Can you hear your pipes gurgle? Are your sinks draining slower than usual? These could also be signs that your water softener isn’t working properly. Hard water can cause mineral deposits that build up in pipes and lead to clogs. Give Armor Air a call, and we can check your pipes for blockages, leaks, and corrosion, and make sure this isn’t a sign of a bigger plumbing problem.
Leaking Pipes
If there are water stains on your walls and floors and there’s a faint dirty sock aroma in your home, it probably means you have a leaking pipe. This is also a possible symptom of a broken water softener. Give Armor Air a call, and our licensed plumbers can locate the leak and determine what caused it. Hard water can cause pipes to corrode and lead to leaks.
High Water Bills
Rising water bills are another sign of a water softener in distress. Hard water can cause an increase in water usage, which will inevitably lead to higher water bills. Be sure to call a professional plumbing company like Armor Air to take a look at your water softener and see if its essential function can be renewed.
How Much Does it Cost to Repair a Water Softener and How Long Will it Take?
If you are experiencing any of these problems and your water softener is under 10 years old, give Armor Air a call for water softener repair services. Depending on the issue and the parts needed, a water softener repair can cost anywhere between $100 to $500. The average time it takes our expert plumbing technicians to repair a water softener is 1 to 3 hours, so you won’t have to worry about a major disruption to your day.
Benefits of Hiring a Professional Plumber for Water Softener Repairs
A water softener is an incredibly valuable appliance since it shields crucial plumbing components from mineral buildup and corrosion, so you want a professional to take care of the repair. Here are a few other reasons that you should hire a professional:
- A professional plumber has the expertise and knowledge to diagnose the problem quickly and accurately.
- A professional will come equipped with the right tools and parts to make sure the job is done correctly and efficiently.
- A licensed plumber can help you understand the necessary steps to maintain and prolong the life of your water softener.

What our clients say
Bob Beaurain
Levi did a great job installing the tankless water heater, laundry tub and updating plumbing under the house. He was courteous and knowledgeable and was always willing to answer any questions we had.
Melissa Franklin
Tyler was great!
Rebecca Byrnes
Armor Air stands out as a company that gives back to the community.
Jamie Robertson, owner of Armor Air, donated a brand new HVAC system with installation to one of Cardinal Ritter’s fundraisers and we were the winning bidders. Most companies will sell and drive profits which is important, but few companies will donate something so large and impactful.
The installers, Austin and Shaun, were kind and compassionate, and discussed all the questions we had during the installation process. We were so thankful that they took our family’s 1990’s system into the twenty-first century with quality equipment and impeccable service.
If you are in need of an HVAC or plumbing company that you can trust, give Armor Air a call. You won’t be disappointed with the hands and hearts they are so eager to share.
Looking forward to many more opportunities with them in the future! Highly recommend!

Armor came highly recommended a truly honest company and available When some major complications appeared.
Robert took pictures of everything internally on my HVAC systems and did a video explaining things that will need to be done and or how things looked internally. Excellent idea I feel that this is a step above.
Also need to add to this review that we had a gas leak prior to Robert **** and Armor sent out John to assess the situation. The small gas leak was by our grill and the gas company Said that there was still a small leak somewhere within our house So we needed to hire a plumber to figure out where it was. 14 hours later, two days Of John and Levi trying to figure out along with Five holes cut into my bulkhead ceiling in the lower Level of my home. No gas for two days which means no hot water not able to cook, etc. With all the Work they did they finally came to a conclusion that the gas company missed The leak on the meter that belongs to them. Thankfully, John and Levi did not give up on trying to figure this out. We called the gas company told them what transpired. A mishap of their own employee. Such a great group of guys that I got to meet through this whole process. Thanks Armor for all your help and not giving up
Thanks, Robert. John & Levi
Michael Hafley
He did an excellent job on inspection on my water heater, after he flushed water heater, he inspected my bathroom and kitchen sink and he did go over a couple things that I might need to replace due to corrosion found on kitchen faucet and kitchen sink drain, and was gonna give me a quote, but I'll have my uncle come out fix that for me, and I highly recommend this guy and he did and excellent job on my water heater. THANKS AGAIN!
Brenda Melville
This wasn't a "piece-of-cake" easy job, but these 2 men did a great job. They showed us the video of the pipe after it was cleaned so we could easily see what the problem is with our sewer pipe. Very professional.
