Water Softener Repair in Houston

We repair Maytag water softeners that stop regenerating, leave hard water at the tap or lose salt oddly. Tell us how the water feels and when the unit last ran, and we plan the visit from there.

01What goes wrong

Common water softener problems we fix

In the order we see them across Houston homes.

01

Hard water returning at the taps

02

Salt level never dropping

03

Salt bridge or mush in the tank

04

Controller dark or showing a code

05

Brine tank overflowing or leaking

06

Water pressure low after the unit

A Maytag water softener swaps the minerals that make water hard for sodium or potassium, using a tank of resin, a control valve and a brine tank filled with salt. The control decides when to regenerate, flushing the resin with brine to restore it.

Houston-area water varies from one neighborhood to the next, and well water often carries iron or sediment that fouls resin and valves. Humid garages and utility closets can also cause salt to cake and corrode controls.

We check the salt, the brine tank, the control settings, the valve, the drain line and the water pressure through the unit. Many softeners we see are well beyond their warranty years, so we tell you honestly when the resin or valve has aged out. Plumbing work outside the unit goes to a licensed plumber.

05Water Softener questions
Why is my softened water hard again?

The tank may be out of salt, the salt may have formed a bridge, or the control may have missed its regeneration. We check each, then the resin and valve. Hardness varies from week to week, so we also ask when you first noticed it.

What is a salt bridge?

A hard crust that forms above the water in the brine tank, leaving a gap beneath so no brine is made. Breaking it up often helps for a while, and we look for the cause, such as humidity or the wrong salt type.

Will you install or move plumbing for a softener?

We repair the softener itself. Changes to supply lines, gas lines or a new installation that needs a licensed plumber go to one, and we tell you so when you book.
