Hands down best experience ever with a plumber. Daniel came the EARLIER than promised, swapped out my broken water heater, and replaced it the same day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and extremely professional! I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I had a really great experience with Jason from Plumbing Express. Despite having a weird faucet and not being able to find the meter shut-off, Jason was able to work around that and fix my faucet quickly while still taking the time to explain everything he was doing for my benefit. Because of the weird parts, it took two trips but he was clear about what I should order and what to expect from him and I really appreciate how much stress he took off my shoulders in getting this job done. Shegra in the scheduling office was also fantastic and made sure Jason got to me as soon as possible both times he needed to come out.

Jason was prompt and communicated well throughout the process. They diagnosed the issue more thoroughly than other companies. This was a significant job - repair of 10+ feet of sewer line and removal of intruding tree root. It was also an expensive job, but the price was reasonable in comparison to other quotes, and considering it required digging down 7.5 feet to the sewer pipe. The work itself was done well, with all turf replaced and covered with straw. Will likely use this company again!

KNOWLEDGEABLE, FRIENDLY, ABOVE AND BEYOND, & COMPETITIVE PRICING. If this sounds good to you, then hire Plumbing Express today!!! Personal Experience! (It's long so skip if you like, but note it explains why I noted above!!) We have had issues with a hybrid tank less waterheater, that no one could seem to figure out. After 3 companies later we went with Plumbing Express. Tammy answered our call, scheduled us an appointment. Dave was our tech he came out listened to the issues we were having, took interest in the previous troubleshooting steps. Downside...we needed a whole new heater. The whole tell people bad news in a good way, really works. Dave explained the situation, we had discontinued unit, that Rinnai was no longer supporting, and that the error codes were going to persist. He was not pushy about about sales, he was definitely more informative. He even pulled up the Rinnai info showing us that it was discontinued and support was stopped. Offered to try to fix it as best he can, but basically informed us he or someone else would have to come out routinely. We opted to just replace. He gave us plenty of options. We narrowed it down and had our instal scheduled with in a couple days later. Day of install, Tammy called confirmed and notified us that Dave would be later after another call but his partner in installation Justin was on his way now and I should expect him with in 25-30m. The whole instal process was exceptionally smooth, Justin made setup a breeze, was super polite and friendly, outlined the work he was going to do while we waited for Dave, and then outlined what Dave was going to do. Dave showed up, he double checked everything. Triple checked with me on the holes he would need to put in the walls and in the side of the house. Made sure I was comfortable and understood the process. The two had us up and running in no time. Helped setup the new heater, showed us how to make changes. And cleaned up the area probably better then they found the space!! Plumbing Express has knowledgeable and personable personnel. We know going forward they will definitely be our go to for plumbing woes. Thank you P.E.!!!

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. As an exclusive dealer and servicer of Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters, Plumbing Express receives the highest level of Rinnai training at Rinnai Headquarters.

  • 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.
