"Water Heater Masters were top-notch! I called on a Saturday afternoon - they were available 9am Sunday morning to come and inspect and quote. They only had one guy working that day, but scheduled me for Monday morning between 8 and 9. At 8:15am I got a call with an ETA of 8:45, which was a really nice touch! Despite telling me it would take an entire day to install, they were done by 1pm. They also found some creative ways to do the install to avoid drilling through my stucco (for the exhaust vent and for the condensate run-off). Very professional and clean-looking install. These guys may not always be the cheapest around, and they recommended a top-of-the-line heater (which is what I really wanted anyway), but I'd much rather pay a little extra for that level of service and support. Thank you!"

"Our water heater started leaking and needed to be replaced. Called in the morning and had someone out in the afternoon. This was actually our second quote. The first guy only gave the heater a cursory look before quoting a price. The Better Water Heaters technician actually examined the heater, plumbing and electrical connections before discussing options. We discussed replacing the original and switching to a tankless system. After we did some research and asked some friends who had a tankless system, we decided to go with the tankless. We scheduled an appointment for the next day and had it installed. Very smooth, very professional."

"The plumbing technicians came out as promised to assess the leak. They were both very courteous and kind and assessed the damage. I am giving three stars because they estimated the cost to be almost 250% higher than what the actual cost was to fix the issue. I am sure there are customers out there that would just accept any bid however, please get multiple beds for these projects, especially when working with this company as they will inflate the cost to take advantage of the situation. I ended up only paying for the $79 estimate."

"Excellent service! Pablo called immediately after I had submitted my HA inquiry, to see how he could assist with my project. He was able to come to my house same day; and even showed up to the appointment earlier than expected. He did the work efficiently and well, and was very courteous. Great service and for a reasonable price. Will definitely call Cost U Less Plumbing & Drain in the future when I need a professional plumber. Thanks Pablo!"

"Jaymie first visited to review our need for correcting a pre-existing faulty installation of a tankless water heater. He grasped our concerns at once, joined us in brainstorming a relatively simple solution, and produced a financially reasonable bid on the spot. We accepted it as far more reasonable than other bids. He arranged to have the work performed by his company within a few days. At the appointed time, Jaymie himself arrived to do the job, which pleased us greatly since he already knew exactly what needed to be done, making it unnecessary to brief a new workman. He is a very competent, friendly, and helpful person. We would not hesitate to call on him for any future plumbing needs."

"Carl of Cali Water Heater Solutions replace my 20yr old water heater the same day I requested the work through the Angi platform. He began and finished in approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The installation was completed fast and efficient. I would recommend Carl of Cali to anyone needing their service and expertise in plumbing. Thanks again Carl."

Plumbing Heating Companies FAQs, answered by experts

A major mistake during plumbing is skipping required city permits, which causes significant issues when selling an East Bay home. Homeowners also ignore critical seismic upgrades, like installing earthquake shut-off valves for the Hayward Fault zone. Failing to budget for replacing older infrastructure inside walls, such as galvanized steel pipes, is another frequent error. Finally, you must coordinate with local utility districts and install low-flow fixtures to meet CA water conservation mandates.

Helpful?

Permitted plumbing directly supports higher appraisal values in the competitive East Bay market. Upgrading to full copper or PEX repiping in pre-1950s homes removes major buyer concerns. Buyers also heavily favor sustainable upgrades like tankless water heaters and greywater-ready systems. Keep in mind that a compliant sewer lateral is a strict legal requirement to close escrow in Berkeley. Documented earthquake shut-off valves and flexible connectors further improve your property's overall marketability.

Helpful?

For plumbing, PEX tubing handles seismic movement better than rigid copper and resists mild corrosion. Copper remains a durable, code-compliant choice for many supply lines. You must use seismic-rated flexible gas connectors to comply with CA law near the Hayward Fault. For drain and waste lines, use approved PVC or ABS materials. To avoid excavating landscaped yards, choose cured-in-place pipe lining for sewer laterals. Always install compliant low-flow fixtures for water conservation.

Helpful?

Seismic preparedness determines the longevity of plumbing in Berkeley. You must install flexible connectors and double-strap water heaters to wall studs to survive earthquake events. Avoid piecemeal repairs in older homes; replacing one section of an aging galvanized line while leaving the rest guarantees repeated failures. Proper bedding and flexible joints protect underground lines in hilly terrain. Always secure proper inspections to ensure your system meets all state and local codes.

Helpful?

Your home is a prime candidate for plumbing if it was built before 1940, as aging galvanized or lead-based lines require replacement. Look for discolored, rust-colored water or persistent low flow, which signal interior pipe decay. Homes in the Berkeley hills experiencing elevation-related pressure issues require undersized supply line upgrades. Additionally, properties with older clay sewer laterals or lacking flexible gas connectors need immediate upgrades to meet CA seismic safety standards.
