"I have used Jason and Patriotic Plumbing for numerous plumbing projects in my home. Upon buying my home my sewer line backed up and I had to move out of my home. Patriotic Plumbing made the replacement of my sewer line their priority. They came out the same day and gave me a quote and immediately started the next day. They worked from sunup to sundown and on the weekend to replace my sewer line. I live in a historic neighborhood, so I have witnessed several neighbors replace their sewer line since replacing mine. I am so glad that I chose to do pipe blasting instead of trenching. In the end the cost was half of what my neighbors paid for trenching and the process was 100 times less destructive to my home. I had 7 holes in my home versus having the entire 140 feet of sewer line dug up in order to replace the sewer line. I would highly recommend Patriotic Plumbing and pipe blasting to anyone needing to replace their sewer line. I also used them to install all new plumbing fixtures in both my bathrooms, replace my water heater, replace a broken hose bib and install and hose bib in my back yard. I would never think of calling any other plumber. As a single woman with zero understanding of plumbing I never felt as if I was being ripped off or taken advantage of by Patriotic Plumbing. I feel confident in the services that I received and what I paid for those services. It is hard to “trust” contractors when it comes to repairing things in my home. I can say that I do trust Patriotic Plumbing and would recommend them to anyone."

There was a bad leak, it needed to be fixed and in this heat one cannot be without water to the house for 24 hours. They "had me where they wanted me" and I had no choice but to pay this outrageous bill. Never again."

"Horrible! They do good work and they should because they're the most expensive company in town, but they can never get the appointment times right and the guys always show up late and I'm told three different things from three different operators when I call to find out where they're at. This happens every time I schedule an appointment with them. I'm getting tired of it and thinking of canceling my contract with them. Horrible customer service. The drivers aren't even in good communication with whomever sets the appointments or the ladies in the office."

Master Rooter is a full service plumbing company that specializes in drain and rooter services. We are a local owner-operated business that has 20 years experience serving the valley. Our technicians are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year.

"This was the second company I had come look at the leak in my toilet. The first one I thought was expensive. However he only wanted to replace the wax ring for the toilet for $600. So I contacted Angie's list and they sent out master router who to my surprise said I had a major problem in my home. That my walls had too much moisture and it was dangerous. The master bathroom supposedly had 100% humidity and the guest bathroom varied from 27 to 47% humidity. That was supposed to be very dangerous. They said my flange was below the tile level which they said was not right. I have since found out that is incorrect. I had not asked them to check out the master bathroom but they had me extremely concerned that I was living in a hazardous situation. Before I knew it, my guest bathroom was completely gutted and my master bathroom was partially gutted. A restoration company called copperstate came in on their tails and had me even more concerned about what was going to happen in my home.I erroneously thought they were under Angie's list also. I can't complain about the quality of the work from master router because it was good I was just not prepared to do $20,000 worth of repairs to my home. Especially since it was not needed from what the previous company had said. My insurance company is no longer responding and has paid only a portion of what things have cost me. and so I have now had to fork out nearly $20,000 and my master bathroom is still not finished. I do have to admit that they did find an issue with the repair done by Roto-Rooter in 2018 but that should not have cost me the kind of repairs that master router forced me to have done. I would not have had to have two major bathrooms gutted. I have not told him about things like the bubbler that they cut nor that I still am not happy with the cement repair but I am concerned because I've complained about him the cement several times. I'm afraid they won't ever make it any better. I would like it if master router could give me a partial refund because it would never have cost me this kind of money if they had just repaired the toilet the way the other company recommended. The toilet in the guest bathroom still has its original symptoms from the problem that the contractor was supposed to fix."

Water heater services FAQs

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
