Gene's Plumbing handles water softener installation across South Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Iron staining and a sulfur smell around South Lake Tahoe are not hardness and a softener alone will not fix either. The water test tells us which system you actually need.
Most water softener installation calls in South Lake Tahoe arrive later than they should have. There is a sign first — a sound, a smell, a bill that crept up, a stain that was not there last month — and the repair stays small for exactly as long as it takes somebody to act on it.
So a South Lake Tahoe visit starts with finding out what is actually happening before anything is opened up or torn out. You get the diagnosis, a price for the water softener installation work, and a plain answer about whether it needs doing now or can reasonably wait.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
What people want to know before booking this work.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Whole house was on galvanized from the fifties. They repiped in PEX one bathroom at a time so we were never without water overnight. Drywall patches were cut clean and easy to fix."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
