Service Overview

Softer Water for Your Entire Home

Much of the water around Flagstaff and Northern Arizona is hard. The minerals in it leave white scale on faucets and shower glass, build up inside water heaters and tankless units, shorten the life of appliances, and leave skin and hair feeling dry.

At Bear Hug Plumbing, a family-owned Flagstaff plumber, we install and replace whole-home water softeners. We test your water, size the softener to your water hardness and household use, and install it at the main line with a bypass so it is easy to service. If you have a tankless water heater, a softener is one of the best ways to protect it.

Signs your home could use a water softener:

White scale on faucets, showerheads, and glass
Spotty dishes and stiff laundry
Dry skin or hair after showering
Scale buildup in your water heater or tankless unit
Soap and shampoo that do not lather well
An older softener that is no longer keeping up

You will get clear options and upfront pricing before any work begins, and we stand behind every installation with a written warranty.

Not sure what size softener you need, or whether you need a softener, a filter, or both? We can test your water and recommend the right system for your home, water conditions, and budget.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Mortensen Plumbing. Marty was professional, fair, and took the time to walk me through several different options for the work that needed to be done. I really appreciated that he explained everything clearly and didn’t try to push a one-size-fits-all solution.

The quality of work was excellent, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust, but Marty definitely earned that trust. I would highly recommend Mortensen Plumbing to anyone looking for honest and reliable service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first hired Marty Mortensen 11 years ago, and have used his excellent services ever since. He was here again recently and quickly accessed the problem and gave me several options to fix the issue, to accommodate my budget.
I trust Marty. That’s saying a LOT!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marty did a professional water heater, circulating hot water pump, and water softener installation for us, correcting problems and providing us with a superior warranty, which was worth the price.
