Reduce hard-water mineral buildup with a properly selected and installed water-softening system, plus repair and maintenance for existing equipment.
Water Softener Installation & Service addresses water-quality concerns by selecting or servicing treatment equipment based on the actual water source, measured conditions, flow requirements and maintenance expectations. Treatment should match the specific concern—hardness, sediment, iron, taste, odor or drinking-water needs—rather than using one device for every problem.
Professional service covering the full scope of water softener installation & service needs.
New softener systems sized around hardness, water use, flow, plumbing, and regeneration needs.
Replacement of failed, obsolete, undersized, or impractical existing equipment.
Troubleshooting of valve, regeneration, brine, leak, and performance problems.
Evaluation of whether hardness is the only concern or filtration or other treatment should be considered.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, a technician can diagnose the problem and recommend the right solution.
Our first job is to diagnose the problem. We do not assume a failed system automatically needs replacement.
Tandem Mechanical Inc. offers both repair and replacement services for water softeners. If your water softener isn't working properly, our team can quickly diagnose and repair the issue with system diagnostics and troubleshooting, component repairs and replacements. We also offer full Water Softener Replacement when a new system is needed, as well as routine maintenance and servicing to keep your system operating at peak performance.
The most common system, using resin beads to swap calcium and magnesium ions for sodium or potassium ions to effectively soften hard water.
An eco-friendly alternative that uses template-assisted crystallization to prevent scale buildup without removing minerals or adding sodium.
Designed for high-demand homes, these systems feature two tanks so that one can regenerate while the other continues to provide soft water 24/7.
A non-invasive, chemical-free option that uses magnetic fields to alter the properties of mineral crystals to reduce scale accumulation in pipes.

Explain salt, regeneration, and maintenance requirements
Residential softeners are selected around hardness, household size, fixture demand, water use, plumbing size, available drainage, and installation location.
Commercial softening requires attention to peak flow, daily volume, regeneration capacity, water-use schedule, redundancy where needed, and maintenance access.
Performance depends on correct hardness settings, resin capacity, salt supply, regeneration frequency, flow rate, water pressure, bypass configuration, drain conditions, and other water chemistry that may affect the system.
Maintain salt according to equipment guidance, inspect for leaks or salt bridging, and have the system checked if hardness returns, regeneration becomes abnormal, or water use changes substantially.
Water-softener installation and service are available throughout Tandem Mechanical's active service area for qualifying properties.

“I am a first time home buyer and not familiar with the boiler/heating system in my home and was apprehensive about finding a service provider to service my boiler. I def. made the right choice choosing Tandem Mechanical to service my boiler system. I needed my boiler serviced and Josh and Sam arrived today and serviced the boiler in a professional manner. Josh explained everything they were going to do before they started work. They were punctual, professional and went above and beyond. They also addressed questions I had on two other issues, one which could have been a problem later on if not addressed. I was very impressed with these guys and also the lady I spoke with re: setting up the appointment. Thank you TM! Much appreciated.”
