Rod did an excellent job fixing my leaking shower faucet and replacing my kitchen faucet. He was on time, professional, and did a great job explaining the process, pricing, and scheduling.
Both Anthony and Dave were fantastic in helping us with our tankless water heater. There was great communication throughout the process, they were timely, and politely answered our many questions. Should the occasion arise in the future, we would absolutely reach out to Plumbing Express again!
The Plumbing Express folks fixed a leaking drain line inside a wall for me a few weeks ago and only when we went to replace the Sheetrock did we realize that the repair sleeves were too wide to fit the new sheetrock. I called PE and Daniel came out within an hour to troubleshoot and found the right fix for us in less than an hour, so my Sheetrock contractor could get straight back to work. Appreciate how fast and effective Daniel was helping get my project back on track.
This was a good experience. Jason did a great job at explaining what the problem was and how he was going to fix it. I am no longer having the issue and that is much appreciated. Thanks
Mr. Rod was naturally kind and considerate, and as a professional, he patiently explained everything step by step. Meeting him was a special experience. It’s a blessing to have Plumbing Express in our neighborhood. Thank you.
I am so glad I know about Plumbing Express. I hired them several years ago for a major plumbing job and they’ve been my go-it company ever since. This time, I needed them to find the source of excessive water consumption reported by my utility. Dave T came out, asked me a few questions and quickly found the problem within about 10 minutes. (Since it turned out to be with the sprinkler system, I’ll have them do the repair.) The diagnostic fee was completely reasonable. I will not hesitate to call Plumbing Express again if I have any troubles in the future.
Ed came at the appointed time and was very interested to find the problem with moisture in my slab. He offered suggestions to us to possibly handle the situation after determining there was no water leak. Very professional.
Daniel came out right away and fixed the problem. Plumbing express installed our hot water heater and have been very responsive with any questions or issues we have had.
Jason did great! Assessed the issue/solution quickly and then took care of it! Very satisfied with the call. Knowledgeable and friendly too
Daniel Edwards, was prompt & handled my problem professionally & expediently. He is very knowledgeable & helpful and answered all my questions . Thank you
Daniel came to inspect the problem with my jacuzzi tub. He quickly determined what repairs were required and discussed a couple of options for me to consider. He was very professional and knowledgeable. The repair is going to be very costly. I hope he is a good plumber and someone that you can trust to do an outstanding job. I appreciate Shegra listening to my concerns and recommending Daniel to come out to inspect my problem. I have had outstanding customer service from Plumbing Express. Thank you, Sheila

Frequently Asked Questions
- How Often Should I Service My Hot Water Heater?
You should service your hot water heater at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your unit. During a service, a professional plumber will typically inspect the system, flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, check the pressure relief valve, and assess other components to ensure everything is working properly. If you have hard water or use your heater more frequently, you may want to consider servicing it every 6 months to keep it running optimally.
- Is electric or gas a better fuel source for a water heater?
Currently Natural Gas is clearly a better fuel than electric for heating hot water in Georgia. Gas water heaters have a better recovery rate (they produce more hot water) and cost about half as much to heat a gallon of water compared to electric. If you think electric is more environmentally friend – you’re wrong at least for now. Most of the electricity produced in Georgia is generated from burning fossil fuels. When you take into account the transmission loss of electricity it has a larger carbon footprint than gas for heating water. People in rural areas with no gas service should use electric unless they have money to burn on propane because propane is much more costly than electric for heating water.
- How long does a water heater last?
A typical water heater lasts around 8 to 12 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like the type of water heater, the quality of the unit, how well it’s maintained, and the water quality in your area.
- Traditional tank water heaters (gas or electric) generally last 8-12 years with proper care.
- Tankless water heaters, which heat water on demand, can last 20 years or more due to their more efficient design and the absence of a storage tank.
Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment and inspecting components annually, can help extend your water heater’s lifespan.
- Why Choose Rinnai® Tankless Water Heaters?
We believe Rinnai® Tankless is simply the best option on the market. A Rinnai Tankless Water Heater solves the tank heater water inconsistency problem because hot water becomes delivered at a precise temperature to every fixture. Imagine providing unlimited hot water to your home.

- Do I need a drain pan for my water heater?
If you are in the Great State of Georgia, a water heater drain pan usually isn’t necessary. A water heater drain pan is required when the water heater is located above a ceiling or in an attic. Let’s turn our codebooks to section 504.7 in the 2014 Amendments to the 2012 International. It says:
“504.7 Required pan. Pans shall be installed under storage-type water heaters or water heater storage tanks installed in attics or above ceilings. The pan shall be galvanized steel having a minimum thickness of 24 gauge, or other pans approved for such use. Pans are not required under tankless water heaters. (Effective January 1, 2014)”
Water heater drain pans can provide a false sense of security. If your water heater develops a hole that is significant in size, it can easily overwhelm the drain on the pan and overflow.
- Is my leaking water heater repairable?
If the leak is coming from the bottom of the tank or the very top, it is not repairable because the tank has corroded through. If the leak is coming from the temperature and pressure relief valve on the side you may need to check the pressure regulator valve in your house and/or change the temperature and pressure relief valve.
