Water Softener Solutions for Your Home or Business
Water Purification & Water Softener Installation
Better for Your Skin and Home
Are you noticing white mineral buildup on your faucets, spots on your “clean” dishes, or soap that just won’t lather? These are the classic signs of hard water. In Southwestern Ontario, our water is naturally rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can take a heavy toll on your home’s plumbing, appliances, and even your skin.
A water softener from Mr. Rooter offers a hassle-free way to eliminate mineral buildup and dramatically improve your home’s water quality.
Why Choose a Water Softener?
Healthier Skin & Hair
Eliminate mineral residue that dries out skin and dulls hair. Soft water allows soaps to lather properly, leaving your skin hydrated and your hair feeling naturally soft and silky.
Easier Home Cleaning
Say goodbye to soap scum and mineral spots on dishes and fixtures. Soft water prevents buildup at the source, reducing the time, effort, and chemicals needed for a clean home.
Long-Lasting Appliances
Protect your plumbing from limescale and corrosion. Soft water helps water heaters maintain peak efficiency while extending the lifespan of your dishwasher and washing machine.
Significant Cost Savings
Lower your utility bills by reducing energy consumption. A water softener also helps you avoid expensive plumbing repairs and the high cost of premature appliance replacements.
Cleaner, Brighter Laundry
Keep fabrics vibrant and soft to the touch. Since detergents work more effectively in soft water, you’ll achieve better cleaning results using less soap and lower water temperatures.
Josh and Demula were outstanding. They worked quick and did the job right away. They were courteous, professional, and polite while still quick and effective.
We had another company (superior plumbing) come and didn't do any work but quotes 3x more and had continuous issues with. Yet this team came out right away and had everything completed same day no problem.
This team deserves a raise for sure!
Thanks again! Basement toilet backing up: Will and his Team Mate came to the house during the time they were scheduled. I had asked Will to first use the video scope to see where the clog was, and the condition of the drain pipe. He found the clog, and now I better understand this old house and the condition of the drains. Will also removed the blockage. Quick Work & Great Service! Thanks! Great experience with this company!
I was able to get a same day appointment!
The technician, Damola, arrived earlier than expected, which was great!
He was friendly, knowledgeable and did a good job quickly and efficiently.
He was friendly, professional and explained everything thoroughly.
I whole heartedly recommend! Will came after hours to our basement apartment because a water line burst leading to a large amount of water into our bedroom though the wall. He arrived quickly and with a smile on. He got the job done quickly as well, and kept us informed of what he was doing along the way. Super nice guy, would def recommend! We had a late night catastrophic water damage from a blown pipe that was deemed okay by Reliance Home Comfort🤥🤦. Thank God for Will.🧑🔧 He came by at 10:00 in the evening to fix the blown pipe that the other company didn't. 💧💧💦🏊
If we had Will 🧑🔧The first time, we would have had somebody competent troubleshooting our plumbing issue and listening to the client rather than a technician who just wants to move to the next job like we experienced with Reliance Home Comfort.🤥👎
Will is the best! 🧑🔧👍I hope we never have to see a plumber again but if we do, it has to be Will and Mr.Rooter Team!🧑🔧🧑🔧
Thanks again Will.💯

Water Softener Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a water softener?
If you notice white mineral buildup on your faucets, spots on your dishes, or if your skin and hair feel dry after showering, you likely have hard water. In many parts of Southwestern Ontario, such as Essex, Kingsville, and Blenheim, water is classified as “Hard,” meaning a softener is highly recommended to protect your plumbing.
What is the difference between hard and soft water?
Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. Water is generally considered “hard” if it contains more than 7 grains per gallon (GPG). Soft water has these minerals removed, which prevents limescale buildup and allows soap to lather more effectively.
Will a water softener save me money on my utility bills?
Yes. Soft water is significantly easier to heat than hard water, which can reduce your water heater’s energy consumption by up to 22%. Additionally, by preventing mineral corrosion, you extend the lifespan of expensive appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.
How does hard water affect my skin and hair?
The minerals in hard water create an unpleasant residue that can dry out your scalp and skin, potentially worsening conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Soft water rinses away completely, leaving your hair shinier and your skin feeling more hydrated.
Does a water softener require a lot of maintenance?
Modern systems are designed to be user-friendly. The primary maintenance task is periodically adding softener salt to the brine tank. During your professional installation, a Mr. Rooter specialist will show you exactly how to monitor your system and maintain it for peak performance.
