Do plumbers repair water softeners?
Some do. Let’s take a look at a few different types of plumbers so you know who to contact if this issue comes up.
1. Commercial plumbers
Commercial plumbers work mostly in office buildings, schools, hospitals, colleges and manufacturing plants. They also specialize in working around industrial equipment.
They install, maintain, and repair water tanks and pipes in these commercial settings. This involves working with multiple numbers of outlets, drains, and pipes on several floors.
For example, they could be called to remove large amounts of waste or install a water system for a Fortune 500 business.
Commercial plumbers must stay current on codes related to plumbing in a commercial setting, and their responsibilities are typically much more extensive in scope as compared to residential plumbers.
They are often more advanced and knowledgeable about various plumbing issues than residential plumbers.
So, do plumbers repair water softeners in commercial settings? They’re likely not the people you would call for such a repair.
Call a commercial plumber if you have an issue at the office, but not at your home.
2. Sanitary plumbers
When it comes to residential plumbing, we are going to look at two different types - sanitary and water supply.
Residential plumbers often gain their expertise and experience by working as an apprentice under a more experienced plumber.
Once they have developed sufficient skills and knowledge, these plumbers can work independently or for a company independently.
They work with your home’s pipes, water systems and toilets, and can typically solve any plumbing-related issue.
Sanitary plumbers specifically tackle jobs like:
Unblocking and cleaning jams, toilets, showers, and tubs
Installing toilet and bathroom pipes
Fitting suspended drains
Overseeing plumbing installations like bathtubs and toilets
They can also fit water heating systems and boilers in showers and toilets.
The next type of plumber is more likely to be skilled in water softener repair.
Sanitary plumbers deal more with what’s going out, not what’s coming into your home.
3. Water supply plumbers
These plumbers specialize in working with water supply systems like water tanks, kitchen tanks, bathroom tanks, overhead storage tanks and pipes, and water softeners.
Here is what they typically handle:
Installing water supply systems in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms
Fitting excess pipes and sanitation systems
Fixing leaks in sinks, toilets, and tubs
Essentially, they make sure your water system is flowing properly where it needs to be, including through your water softener.
