I recently had a slab leak, and reached out to 2 other plumbing companies, who in total wasted a month of my time to not resolve my issue. I found Plumbing express on Google spoke with Ty who had Ed out the next day to conduct a leak detection. Ed also provided me with a same day estimate and scheduled a repair date. Jason was scheduled to do the repair on Monday. He showed up on time and keep me updated on what was going on with the repair. Once the leak was spotted he showed me where it was and what cause it and had the leak repaired within a few hours. This team made this nightmare issue very smooth. I can't take them enough for moving so quickly to get this done before the holidays.

Antonio showed up 3 hours after my first contact with Plumbing Express. He figured out the problem and gave me a quote that I accepted then started immediately. He spent the time necessary to do a professional and complete job and fixed the problem. He then took the time to show me how to flush my water heaters.

Daniel was easy to deal with and professional. We have an issue with a water stain in our master bathroom and Daniel was able to rule out that it was not a plumbing issue. He offered some suggestions that it could be which we are investigating now. If you have any plumbing needed, I would recommend Daniel with Plumbing Experts!

I called Friday evening, VERY late. 1) A LIVE person answered the phone. 2) He said he could have a service technician out Saturday morning. 4) I wanted to use the same technician that had helped me in 2022, and he was not available for Saturday so he set it up for Monday morning between 8 and 12. 5) I received a call at 8:05 on Monday to inform me that Dave Tzikas would be at my house between 9:00 & 9:30. 6) He was here at 9:30 and it was raining. 7) He put the rubber protectors over his shoes and serviced my Rinnai tankless water heater and also installed a new Pfister kitchen faucet. 8) Dave Tzikas' work was finished in a VERY professional and timely manner. 9) The pricing for both projects was VERY reasonable. ✳️ I have just given you nine VERY GOOD REASONS to use PLUMBING EXPRESS ✳️

I was in a panic about a water problem. I got my water bill and it was almost double the previous month. I checked everywhere and could not find any leak. I called one plumbing company, and there was a charge to come out to check, and that fee would not apply to any work. I called Plumbing Express and their lesser fee would apply to any work, so I made an appointment. Their rep, Antonio Yin, came to help me. He was on time, very pleasant, and listened when I explained my problem. He checked in the crawlspace, and said he could hear water running. It was an upsta.irs toilet that I rarely use. He had the parts on the truck, showed me the cost, and I was happy to get it fixed. He made the repair in no time, and even asked if there were anything else I needed help with before he left. Antonio Yin was absolutely great. I highly recommend Plumbing Express.

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.
