Gene's Plumbing handles water softener installation across Rabun Gap and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Iron staining and a sulfur smell around Rabun Gap 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 Rabun Gap 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 Rabun Gap 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.
The order we work in, and why.
The first conversation is about how urgent it really is. Some things need a truck tonight and some can wait until Tuesday, and you get told which yours is.
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.
You get a number for the repair before a wrench moves, and it holds. No hourly meter running while you stand in the doorway watching.
Drop cloths go down first and the area gets left clean. Old tanks, fixtures and cut-out pipe leave with the truck.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your water softener installation job in Rabun Gap before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
If the situation is urgent, yes — Rabun Gap emergency calls are answered day and night, and the first priority is stopping the water before the water softener installation repair is started.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the water softener installation job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Rabun Gap work is done.
Anything actively leaking or backing up is treated as same-day in Rabun Gap. Scheduled water softener installation work is usually booked within two or three business days.
Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Shower valve had been dripping for years and two other plumbers said the whole wall had to come out. These folks changed the cartridge and the valve body through the existing opening."
"Sump pump died the week before a big storm. New pump and a battery backup installed in one visit. Power went out during the storm and the basement stayed dry."
