    After getting a very high quote from a major plumbing chain, we decided to contact Water Heater…read moreMasters. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Water Heater Masters. Alex sent our technician, Rojo, who helped install a new 40-gallon gas water heater in our indoor utility closet, and he was incredibly diligent, professional, and efficient from start to finish. Installing a tank in an inside closet can be tricky, but Rojo handled the entire job seamlessly in just 2 hours. He replaced everything with high-quality components, including: * New hot and cold water flex lines * A brand new water shut-off valve * A new gas flex line and sediment trap * Fully reworked earthquake straps (to meet California safety codes) * Properly updated T&P line and venting He also took care of the removal and disposal of our heavy 18 yr old tank, leaving the utility closet completely clean. If you want fair pricing, expert specialized service, and a technician who respects your time and home, call Water Heater Masters and ask for Rojo. Highly recommended!

    We were replacing a gas water heater with a hybrid electric heat pump water heater. Generally, this…read moretype of heater costs twice as much (price and installation) as a traditional electric water heater, but costs a lot less to run (and therefore you recoup the additional cost in a few years from lower operating costs). I had a very easy experience getting an on-site quote. I received 3 quotes for this job. 2 quotes, including this one, came in around $7100. I went with a third one at around $6700 (which included an additional mixing valve) and am very happy with my decision. Overall price was not a big part of my decision, but brand of water heater was. After doing some research online, the most recommended brands are AO Smith and Rheem (GE). Both higher quotes were for Navien, which has only been making heat pump water heaters for 1 year, but I was told that it is the most reliable brand. I did not understand how this claim could be made, given how short the duration of evaluation for this product. Even the worst appliances usually work for at least a year. So I requested a quote for AO Smith or Rheem, which I did not get. I'm not sure why my brand request was not honored, but it made me question whether I should go with a company that either has communication issues or maybe some type of deal with Navien that I was not informed about. Many water heater installers are preferred installers of certain brands, which means they can get better pricing, etc. I did not want to be a guinea pig for Navien.

    Todd is amazing! My mom had a dual kitchen sink with pipes that corroded. After sending some…read morephotos, Todd was able to make a quick visit and arrived at our home with all the parts/tools needed to help solve the problem. Todd worked really efficiently and was very respectful of our home. Mom does not speak English, but Todd was very friendly and made sure to show her how to use the newly installed sink drains. Todd has been a local on Alameda and offers top notch service. I highly recommend him if you need any plumbing work done!

    I highly recommend Todd for plumbing. He has helped us twice when we had floods in the house. He…read morewas very prompt in responding and prompt showing up. I was so appreciative of his help. The first time was a pipe under the sink that busted and it flooded the kitchen and it was going into the living room. He helped to repair the broken pipe. The second time was a few weeks ago when a part connected to our water heater blew up. It was spraying water everywhere and again part of the downstairs flooded. Not only did he respond to my message that I left quickly! And I also left a text just to be sure. He called back and walked me through some safety protocols to make sure everything was turned off like the gas. Then came by the next day! He is very honest and does not try to upsell. He could've easily sold me a whole new water heater installation because it's been in the home already now for 18 years!, but he decided that we could just try changing the one part that had rusted and began spewing water everywhere. It was crazy. I was in so much distress, but was so encouraged by his honest helpfulness. It ended up being cheaper than I had anticipated. Because I had checked in with Costco and Home Depot for a full replacement. But if I would've went that route, I would've spent thousands of dollars. It feels so good to know that there's an honest skilled plumber in our community you're not only does excellent work but cares about people. We learned the hard way: check your water heaters regularly.

    We needed a failing ancient water heater replaced. Jim replied quickly to my Yelp request and…read morescheduled a visit at the time requested. He gave a reasonable estimate for the work and was able to do the work that same day. He was very upfront and informative and I felt confident going with Uleakifix. The work took several hours but was very thorough and well done, making the new unit very secure and code compliant. He also reminded us that the time frame for replacing gas with gas was this year's end so consider doing the other unit in our duplex before that, versus the practical considerations if we waited and needed to switch to electric. There was no upselling and I was so pleased I will use Uleakifix for any future plumbing needs.

    Jim and Sal came in like determined detectives who don't give up until the mystery is solved…read more We had heard the sound of dripping water inside a wall cavity and noticed paint bubbling on the wall a few days earlier. Other plumbers we called suggested cutting the wall open in large sections, but Jim said they would inspect first and find the source of the leak. They paid attention to both the big picture and the smallest details, climbing into and crawling around our attic until they figured out exactly what had happened. They explained their findings clearly and documented everything thoroughly. Jim also took the time to answer my questions about water heaters and provided some genuinely helpful information. It's special to meet professionals like Jim and Sal, who have the curiosity and perseverance to get to the bottom of things instead of jumping straight to the most invasive solution. I know that the next time I need a plumber, I'll call Jim.
