Austin’s limestone-rich geology makes hard water an everyday headache for local homeowners. Scale buildup, dingy laundry, and shortened appliance life all stem from excess calcium and magnesium. A professionally sized and installed water softener eliminates these issues—but only when the system is spec’d, costed, and installed correctly. That’s where CountBricks steps in.
• Average hardness in Austin routinely tops 180 ppm, far above the national “hard” threshold of 120 ppm
• Mineral scale reduces water-heater efficiency by up to 24 %, spiking utility bills
• Premature failure of faucets, ice makers, and washing machines is common without treatment
DIY units from big-box stores rarely match the flow requirements of larger homes, and skipped permitting exposes owners to costly re-inspections. A CountBricks-managed installation resolves these risks with AI-driven precision.
• Using CountBricks.com/ai-takeoffs, we voice-capture fixture counts directly from your floor plan and instantly apply local code parameters
• Our cloud pricing engine pulls live material costs from Austin suppliers, locking in transparent numbers before work begins
• CountBricks coordinates licensed plumbers, electricians, and drywall finishers under one contract
• We sequence tasks in our scheduling dashboard so your household water is offline for only a few hours
1. Site survey and hardness test recorded in the CountBricks mobile app
2. AI generates a detailed proposal with equipment sizing, loop location, and permit fees
3. Homeowner approves the digital quote; e-signature triggers automatic permit filing
4. Crew installs bypass valve, brine tank, and drain line to code
5. Commissioning report and first-year salt supply delivered, then synced to your CountBricks maintenance calendar
• System Capacity – 32,000-grain units suit 1–2-bath homes, while 48,000-grain models cover larger families; capacity drives equipment price
• Loop Accessibility – Slab-on-grade foundations may require wall penetrations; extra labor hours appear automatically in CountBricks estimates
• Finish Restoration – If sheetrock removal is needed, CountBricks includes texture match and paint so final costs stay predictable
Typical turnkey investment ranges from $1,900 to $3,600, and our platform compares standard and premium resin options side by side. Homeowners see exactly where each dollar is allocated—no surprises at invoice time.
CountBricks doesn’t disappear after installation. Our AI reminders ship salt, schedule resin cleanings, and log water-quality tests so warranties remain valid. Homeowners can access service history anytime at CountBricks.com/portal.
• Set regeneration for 2 am to avoid pressure drops during peak household usage
• Use solar-evaporated salt pellets—they dissolve cleaner and reduce sludge
• Add a 5-micron sediment filter upstream to protect the resin bed
• Test hardness annually; Austin’s municipal blend fluctuates with drought cycles
• Schedule a CountBricks tech visit every 24 months for valve rebuild and resin rebedding
• AI-accurate estimates slash planning time by 70 %
• End-to-end project management keeps disruption minimal
• Transparent pricing and digital change orders build homeowner trust
• Local crews understand Austin’s plumbing codes and inspection protocols

An Austin homeowner in Barton Creek was battling crusted fixtures only two years after a luxury remodel. The 5-bath residence needed a softening solution that wouldn’t disrupt high-end finishes.

1. A 48,000-grain metered softener was specified, ensuring peak-flow compatibility with the home’s spa tubs
2. We rerouted drain discharge to an existing utility sink to preserve the slab; AI scheduling flagged plumbing and electrical trades to arrive 90 minutes apart, avoiding downtime
3. Post-install tests showed hardness drop from 190 ppm to under 15 ppm, meeting Water Quality Association guidelines
