Water Softener Installation in Columbia, MO
Get through your daily routine without hassle and avoid problems that come with untreated hard water. Call (573) 777-3660 now to schedule water softener installation in Columbia, MO.
Does your water have an odd taste? Is your bathtub or toilet affected by hard water scaling or rust stains? Tired of having to deal with filmy, cloudy dishes and glassware every day?
Hard water is likely the cause. Fortunately, you can solve these issues with a whole-home water softener, installed by our water treatment specialists at MasterTech Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. We provide professional water softener installations in Columbia, MO and the greater Mid-Missouri area.
Consult With Our Columbia, MO Water Softening Experts
Most plumbing problems are often directly related to poor water quality. Hard water is a common issue in homes throughout Mid-Missouri. Untreated hard water features a high concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium minerals. This can cause a number of plumbing problems, including water heater failure, low water pressure, and clogging in your sewer or drain lines.
Let our experts inspect your plumbing to determine if hard water is causing the problem. If a water softener is recommended, we will discuss your options and go over the installation process.
Getting Your Home Ready For Water Softener Installation
New homes will likely have a water softener loop built in during construction, making it much easier to set up your water softening equipment. If your home isn’t already pre-plumbed with a water softener loop, we can easily upgrade your property with additional piping or bypass valves.

Choosing Between Salt-Based and Salt-Free Systems
If you’ve started your research into water softeners, you might be wondering whether you should install a water softener (salt-based) or a water conditioner (salt-free). Both are designed to treat hard water, but water softeners are the “true” solution to hard water problems.
Water softeners use salt-based technology to completely remove minerals from your water, leaving you with that silky and smooth feeling. With a water softener, you can stop worrying about scaling and stains in your plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Water conditioners, on the other hand, don’t eliminate calcium and magnesium; they “condition”—or alter—the minerals in your water so they aren’t as abrasive. While this solution does help reduce the harsh effects of hard water, your plumbing fixtures may still experience minor scaling.
Customer Reviews
Sunday we had water leaking. I called them on Monday. MasterTech initially scheduled us on Wednesday. Later they called me and said they could send... a tech in 1 hour. It is a surprise, a good surprise. Chad came in time and got the job done in 1 hour. He also gave us some good advice to prevent pipe freezing. So far, the work is good ( it is Tuesday now). I am satisfied with the company and Chad.read more

Had a great experience with MasterTech recently. The water heater in my house needed replacing. I bought the replacement myself, but wanted... professional installation. The technician assessed the job quickly and accurately and was right on time. When the time came to do the replacement, he was again right on time. When he left, we had functional hot water, a shiny new heater, and absolutely no mess to speak of. John was extremely professional and friendly, and was willing to answer any questions I had thoroughly and, I felt, honestly. The price seemed fair based on the work and the average cost in the area. Definitely recommend, but always suggest doing comprehensive research for any job you need done!read more

The were on time, did an excellent job and were reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? I would definitely hire them again. I hired them again... since then (6-21-20) and they were great again. I won't hire anyone else.(6 months later) There was a problem with something they installed (not their fault). They came out immediately, fixed it and there was no charge. You can really depend on this company. I highly recommend them.read more

For a perfect 5 star I would expect above and beyond what I expected. And yes I know that isn't exactly a coherent thought. Our issue was fixed and... our tech was amazing and spot on, he did exactly what we asked of him, and then some! He helped us shim our toilet as well because it was rocking a little.Honestly because of that extra effort he put in I am going to change it to a 5 star. Awesome work Mastertech.read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Master Tech and their staff. It's currently -8 and I woke up to my home at 54 degrees. I left a voicemail for MT at... 7:30 and received a call at 8:08 AM and a technician was at my home at 9:40 AM. Snow was blocking my external exhaust on the home, so it couldn't create combustion to turn on the furnace. The fix was rather simple, but took time and thinking through the problem. Tyler was amazing. The service was 10/10 and he really took the time to explain to me what was happening. I have a monthly service plan with this company too - that I started in October - and it's been great. They are always on time, professional, reasonably priced and so good at their job. I cannot recommend them enough!!read more

Tyson was excellent!! He was patient working with the various options and being candid about the costs of each. Not in a rush. Very personable. ... Very professional.

Water heater wouldn’t stay lit. Called MasterTech, after calling a couple other plumbers I knew (right before Christmas). Got no answer from the... others, but MT answered the first try, and set up an appointment then and there. Chad came out, and cleaned up the old water heater to see how it worked before just replacing it. If need to replace, the cost of the first visit goes toward. I’m happy to say, I have hot water for the holidays! Thanks so much Chad for your friendly professionalism, and effective work.read more

We would like to commend the folks at MasterTech for their excellent service to our family last week. We had a couple of routine procedures scheduled... and fulfilled during the day. One of them presented a challenge, but Chad saw it through until he was satisfied that it was running well. Later on that night, a major problem suddenly occurred with a different part of the plumbing system: a pipe burst and water flooded the bathroom, sending a stream of water into one of the bedrooms and soaking most of the carpeting. After failing to be able to control the situation ourselves, we made a panicky call to MasterTech, whereupon the woman who answered offered assurance and got help on the way. Nate arrived and immediately went about shutting off the water flow, repairing the problem, keeping us informed, and making sure everything was secure. We are dealing with the aftermath (clean up, new carpeting), but wouldn’t be in as good a position as we are without the as-prompt-as-possible emergency service, professional abilities, and customer care exhibited by the MasterTech people we dealt with that day. Thank you all for your commitment to a job well done and a true concern for your customers! --David and Candy Megahanread more
