St Louis is known for baseball, toasted ravioli, and extremely hard water. The local supply averages 12–15 grains per gallon, leaving scale in pipes, spotting on fixtures, and dry skin for homeowners. A professionally installed water softener is the permanent fix, and CountBricks is the residential construction partner delivering it faster, cleaner, and with total cost clarity.

Our voice-driven platform captures project details during a quick call, generates a line-item estimate in minutes, and produces a polished quote document you can sign electronically. No surprise charges, no waiting for “someone to get back to you.”

Hard water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium. When heated, those minerals crystallize and build up inside water heaters, dishwashers, and piping. Over time the buildup:
• Shortens appliance life by up to 30 percent
• Cuts water-heater efficiency, raising energy bills
• Stains glassware, tiles, and plumbing fixtures
• Irritates skin and hair, forcing higher soap usage
A quality softener removes the minerals before they enter the domestic system, protecting every fixture downstream.
1. System Capacity – CountBricks plumbers size the resin tank to daily household usage. Undersized units regenerate too often; oversized units waste salt and water.
2. Bypass & Drain Placement – Homes without an existing loop need fresh plumbing. Our AI takeoff pinpoints pipe runs so labor is quoted accurately the first time.
3. Permit & Code – St Louis County requires a minor plumbing permit for new equipment ties. CountBricks pulls permits electronically and adds the exact fee to your estimate.
4. Disposal of Old Equipment – Tight basements? We include removal, hauling, and recycling credits so you see the total investment.
Based on 200+ local installs in the CountBricks portfolio, turnkey costs fall between $1,600 and $2,800 for a 32,000-grain salt-based system. That number includes:
• Top-rated softener unit with 5-year valve warranty
• New copper or PEX loop with isolating valves
• Permit, salt startup package, haul-away
Our AI engine continuously refreshes material pricing, so your quote always reflects current supplier catalogs, not last month’s spreadsheet.
1. Voice consultation: In a 10-minute call we gather headcount, water-usage profile, and pictures of the mechanical room.
2. Instant estimate: CountBricks AI maps fittings and pipe lengths, then sends a detailed proposal to your inbox.
3. Permit & scheduling: Once you e-sign, our office files the plumbing permit and secures the next open slot on the crew schedule.
4. Installation day: A two-person crew arrives, protects floors, shuts water, adds the loop, sets the softener, and programs regeneration times.
5. Walk-through & training: We test hardness before and after, explain salt usage, and share a maintenance checklist.
6. Digital close-out: You receive photos, inspection certificate, and a downloadable maintenance reminder through your CountBricks client dashboard.
• Choose a unit with demand-initiated regeneration to save 25 percent on salt.
• Add a whole-house sediment filter upstream to protect the resin bed.
• Keep at least one hard-water tap outside for gardening; plants often prefer mineral content.
• Schedule an annual resin check—most tanks last 10+ years with proper service.
Clients often bundle projects to maximize efficiency. Because our crews cover framing, drywall, and finish work, we can relocate the water heater, frame a utility closet, or rough-in a future bath while we’re on site. Explore possibilities at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• AI-driven transparency eliminates budget overruns
• Realtime collaboration lets you adjust scope mid-conversation
• Digital record-keeping streamlines future warranty claims
• One platform for estimating, scheduling, and invoicing—no paper chase

The Wilson family hired CountBricks to transform an unfinished 1,200 sq ft basement into a recreation suite. During the AI blueprint takeoff, our estimator flagged heavy scale buildup on feeder lines. Instead of ignoring the issue, we added a 48,000-grain water softener to the scope.
1. Integrated Scheduling: The framing crew roughed in a mechanical alcove while plumbers installed a new softener loop, saving an extra trip and two days on the timeline.
2. Unified Budget: Because the entire project lived in the CountBricks platform, the Wilsons could see how reallocating $2,200 from flooring upgrades covered the softener without changing the final contract price.
3. Performance Results: Post-project hardness dropped from 14 gpg to 1 gpg. The homeowners now enjoy spotless shower glass in their new bathroom—and longer life from the brand-new tankless heater we installed.
• Salt Delivery Programs: CountBricks partners with local suppliers to set up automatic salt delivery. Add the subscription during checkout and skip the heavy lifting.
