Update: 1/2024- had hot water stop coming out the shower and ice maker line needed to be rerouted. Anthony Perez was extremely professional got everything done as expected. He was amazing and took his time to get it right- and all was left clean. Thanks again Plumbing Express! I had another great experience with Plumbing Express. Last time we used them for an unfortunate flooding situation and they were a lifesaver. This time my need was more benign- a toilet started running randomly running up my water bill for a few months. Great experience and in less than an hour my two toilets were good to go. My plumber Daniel even gave me advice on how to reach out to the water company. Plumbing Express is my go to for any plumbing needs.

Jason was wonderful and solving leaking from my kitchen sink even with main water turned off it was still leaking...He replaced my garbage disposal which was leaking also and changed all the tubing to a more update flexible braided tubing and leaking slowed tremendously but not all the way...problem solver it was also the faucet gone bad so had to make a run to Home Depot and finally all leaks gone so now I literally have a new undersink makeover

Jason was great. One of his attributes that I really liked is his explanations of what he was doing and more importantly, why. He was courteous. He hustled while also listening to my questions and conversation. Take care of him. You are lucky to have him as an employee. This is my second experience with your company and have been pleased with the results both times.

Daniel Perez was very knowledgeable in repairing the leak I had in my crawl space. He repaired the pipe in a short amount of time and then verified that none of the other pipes were leaking before he left. Excellent customer service. Andrew Harris was very knowledgeable in repairing the leak I had in my crawl space. There was an issue determining if there were multiple pipes leaking but turned out to be only one. He repaired the pipe in a short amount of time and then verified that none of the other pipes were leaking before he left. Excellent customer service.

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.
