    Deformed copper water supply line that had to be cut off.
    Jeff M.

    Picture this: it's Sunday afternoon. Your water has been shutoff for 2 hours while trying to replace a leaky stop valve. Your wife is getting upset because she can't use the restroom since the main water valve has been shutoff. I can't figure out what's going on, so end up calling Local Rooter & Plumbing. They squeeze me in for a last minute appointment after finishing up their last job. Duy and Quang were able to quickly identify the problem. It turns out that I had overtightened on the compression ring on the stop-valve so much that I deformed the copper water supply line. They had to to cut and extend the water supply line. It costed a bit more than the original quote but was worth every dollar. I highly recommend them and will use them again. Also special shout-out to them for taking off their shoes as soon as they entered my place.

    I called at 8:30am on a Monday morning due to a backed up kitchen sink drain from grease, they asked me to text my address and quoted me a service technician could show up that day between 3-5pm. Communication was very prompt for being the day after Christmas, Jamie and his apprentice arrived in the window and snaked the drain in about 45 minutes. Jamie also recommended some enzyme additives to prevent this from happening in the future.

He was very friendly, showed up right on time, communicated clearly and promptly, and got everything done quickly. The work was clean and well done, and his pricing was very reasonable too. What I appreciated most was the service afterward. It turned out that the Waterdrop RO system I bought wasn't really designed to work with a refrigerator, and Tai came back to help fix the fridge water line and make sure everything was working properly. Overall, super easy to work with and very reliable. I'll absolutely call him again next time I need any plumbing work done!

He came out first thing the next morning, arrived early, and took the time to thoroughly explain what happened, what our options were, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. His pricing was very reasonable, and within about 2 hours we had a brand new water heater installed and everything was back up and running. He also pointed out a few upgrades I should consider for my main water line to improve both water pressure and safety. I really appreciated that he took the time to educate me without being pushy--it showed that he genuinely cared about making sure everything in my home was working safely and properly. Tai is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely nice to work with. I really appreciated how efficient and transparent he was throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him if you need a reliable plumber. One thing to note: He only accepts cash or check, so be prepared. Thanks so much, Tai!

    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.
