Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Overall the service and repair went well without any issues.

Daniel was first rate. Knowledgeable and courteous, he address all our concerns expertly. We were delighted that he able to replace our tankless water heater the same day, and it has been working great ever since.

Would definitely recommend a Plumbing Express! About a month ago, we had an issue with leaks and ended up needing a full home repipe. Ed was our first point of contact and was wonderful at explaining everything to us. He was very thorough and helpful, which made a stressful situation feel more manageable. Communication was consistent throughout the entire process, which we really appreciated. A couple of days later, the work began and we met Jose and his team for the repipe. Everyone was great and worked diligently from early morning to late evening, completing everything in just one day. The next day, Kenny and his brother came in to handle the drywall, and they did an amazing job. With all the holes that had been made during the repiping, you truly couldn’t tell where anything had been opened up. This was a 2 day process. Ivan was also a pleasure to work with and helped us with any questions and payments along the way. Pricing was fair for the amount of work done, especially considering how quickly and efficiently everything was completed. Overall, this process was overwhelming for us, but the entire Plumbing Express team made it so much easier to get through.

Our house is less than six years old, so a total house re-pipe was about the farthest thing from our minds. But a hot water PEX pipe failed under the slab in our bathroom in an area that would require the shower area and some of the bathroom to be destroyed in order to get to and fix the leak. Obviously not a good situation and in the final analysis, a total re-pipe of the house would cost less and then we wouldn't be wondering if/when another under-slab leak would occur. We end up selecting Plumbing Express to do our large job. They have a team that does nothing but repiping ... including the initial assessment, all the plumbing, and then all of the drywall repair. And they do the whole thing really well. Everyone (and I mean everyone) at Plumbing Express that we interacted with during this extensive project was great. Ty handled our first phone call and was helpful. Ed came to do the initial assessment and also helped later on in the process. He has extensive experience and has a great way of relating that background to your situation. Ivan was the project manger and he was always very responsive and helpful. Lucio (the lead plumber), Hose', Ben, and Rad were the four plumbers that did the plumbing work. They were experienced, respectful, pleasant, and clearly liked working together. Lucio even found a way to get repiped hot and cold water to our kitchen island without having to jackhammer the floor and slab. Kenny and his crew did the drywall repair (and there was a bunch of it to do) and painting. Ed and Ivan told us that after Kenny was done, we wouldn't know that the plumbers had even been here. We were very skeptical. Holes were everywhere in walls and ceilings. But Kenny and his crew did a fantastic job with all of the repairs and it all looks as good as before the project began. It is impressive how well they employed their skills. We had (and still have) a tankless water heater with a recirculating pump and system. Prior to the repipe, some of our outlets had hot water faster than afterward. That is a function of the fact that the piping under the slab could be more direct to areas than the repipe that had to go overhead and through the walls. To a certain degree, that is just the way it is. But Ed and Ivan went the extra mile to help mitigate that situation in one area by working with us on installing an under-sink small water heater in the kitchen. That helped tremendously for that area. Facing this major plumbing situation, especially in a relatively new house, obviously isn't fun in any way. But these guys made the whole process as seamless and pleasant as possible for us. They truly are professional, helpful, friendly, and skillful. Regardless of how old your house is, if you need to have a repiping job done, this is the team you want!

Just purchased a home that had polybutylene pipes throughout. Searched online to find a company who specialized in repiping. Came across Plumbing Express. Read the reviews and comparison shopped as any good consumer should. Plumbing Express stood out above the rest by far. Blake provide information and proof to back his product. The installers arrived BEFORE their appointment, took excellent care of my home, and the drywall repair was perfection. I am extremely pleased with my choice. You can't go wrong with Plumbing Express. Update 3/20/26 I have found my forever plumber. I had Plumbing Express repipe my home a few years ago. I recently reached out; because, I thought I had a plumbing issue developing. Fortunately, I did not. The service technician Dylan was outstanding. He calmed my and my husband concerns and provided a plethora of information. I no longer have to worry about finding a good plumber. Dylan will be my go to plumber every time.

Rod Anderson did an excellent job of removing pipes and closing off water access to my former master bathroom. It's now ready to be converted to a master walk-in closet.

We had Tim Robinson come to our laundromat to fix an issue what was causing a back up when our white top loaders where running. We had another company out before them that couldn't do the descaling and stated we needed to tear up the new floor we just did so they could do a camera inspection that maybe there was an issue with the pipe. Tim came right in and did the camera inspection and was able to do the descaling, the pipe was clogged causing the issue. We had a busy weekend with the washers and no issues at all. Splish Splash Laundromat is so glad we went with Plumbing Express.

Daniel was wonderful and we are happy with the work he did replacing our disposal. We would recommend.

I woke up to no hot water Sunday morning! I called Plumbing Express and they were able to schedule me for first call Monday. Josh arrived and surveyed the situation. He advised me that the T &P line had not been attached by the person who originally installed this in 2022! Josh attached the T & P, drained the water heater and set up the app on my phone for this water heater. Because I had the app, I got an email Tuesday morning with a water sensor alarm - I called Plumbing Express & Josh came back out to check it out. Gratefully it turned out to be the residual water that drained out of his hose when he disconnected it from draining. I highly recommend Josh and the Plumbing Express team!

Tim Robinson and his crew did an awesome job on my plumbing issues. Quickly diagnose my problem, gave an estimate for the repair in a timely fashion No surprises. I don’t normally like recommending contractors electricians plumbers, but Plumbing Express is top-notch on my list. They were very good about notifying me with updates when the crew was on the way and worked me in on an earlier date, then was originally scheduled for. Thank you, Plumbing Express! Keeping you in my contacts.

Rod was professional and courteous. Provided insight and detailed quotes regarding my issue. Highly recommend

I had a whole home repipe on my home. It was built in the 70s and the copper pipes were constantly springing leaks so it needed to be done. They quoted me a competitive price for the job, but the best part was the followup and communication with the team along the way to ensure my specifications were met and I was completely satisfied with my water system. Ed Torres the plumber along with Ivan the scheduler, and really the whe team that completed the work and the drywallers, couldn't recommend them enough.
