"Our old water heater was about 20 years old.  It did not pass an energy audit for CA State rebates so we had to replace it or forfeit the rest of the work we wanted done under the State's energy improvements rebate program, Auditor estimated $1700 for replacement,  
After calling 7+ plumbers, we chose Water Heaters Masters because:
 + they would pull a permit as required by the State rebate program (several would not)
 + their price point (they were one of the two lowest), 
 + their familiarity with all the options we wanted to consider (many installed a single maker or were unfamiliar with the most energy efficient models), and 
 + their immediate availability (the same day).
Alex (manager) and Anthony (technician) were very professional in setting up and installing the water heater.  Everything, including potential contingencies, was priced in the estimate by Water Heaters Masters.  When the City Inspector wanted the overflows (pan and water heater) run to outside of the house, Water Heaters Masters kept to their estimate despite the long run of copper and PVC needed, and the trickiness of running those lines around the adjacent new HVAC and its ducting in the crawlspace.  
We were so impressed that we wish they did more plumbing work.

"Let me start by saying Marco is an amazing plumber. We needed our main line replaced because it was getting backed up and out of all the plumbers that came to give us an estimate he seemed the most honest. He was very attentive and communicative. When I had questions he was always very informative. He was very reliable and clean. Will definitely be hiring him if we ever need to again."

"Corky is to the T what the reviews express. He is reliable, professional, knowledgeable and offered many alternative options for my problem. We discussed a preventative measure with the rain coming and prepping my drains for the debris coming and what might be in the drains already. He was friendly and did exactly like we discussed in the time he said it would take. very personable. If you want a solid job done right, with honesty and real experience this is who to go with."

"Our sewer main busted and Oak Plumbing’s master plumbers Matt & Mike did a great job at digging down over 7ft to replace the broken section and also upgraded my single sewer main clean out which was nearly rusted through to a dual solid ABS clean out. And also I would like to add that Nate also did a great job at identifying our problem! Thanks guys! You’re AWESOME!"

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Skipping permits for plumbing is a major error that creates title complications. Homeowners also ignore the moderate water hardness in Davis, leading to rapid mineral buildup and joint failures. Another mistake involves attempting repairs on slab foundations without understanding how the local clay soil shifts. Always notify the city before touching sewer laterals to prevent illegal cross-connections.

Helpful?

A single slow drain in an older Davis home indicates a failing sewer lateral requiring full replacement. Intermittent low water pressure signals severe interior pipe corrosion that demands a whole-house repipe. Unexplained spikes in your water bill point to pressurized supply leaks under the slab. Rust-colored water after periods of non-use serves as a leading indicator of imminent pipe failure.

Helpful?

Missing permit records strongly indicate that previous plumbing was done outside current California standards. Look for mismatched pipe materials, like galvanized steel connected to copper without proper transition fittings. In older Davis neighborhoods, persistent sewer odors point to cracked drain lines that prior owners only patched temporarily. Water staining on concrete slab floors also reveals superficial fixes covering active leaks.

Helpful?

The construction year is the most critical detail for shaping plumbing decisions, as homes built before 1970 feature degrading galvanized supply lines. Foundation type also matters, since under-slab pipes in Davis are highly vulnerable to clay soil movement. Review the permit history to verify code compliance, and check the sewer lateral inspection records to identify any existing root intrusion issues.

Helpful?

Water heater installations require strict adherence to the CA plumbing code, including seismic strapping and proper venting. Under-slab supply lines are highly vulnerable to shortcuts because local clay soils shift and cause repeat pipe failures. Sewer lateral connections also demand precision, as improper slopes or unapproved materials fail mandatory inspections. Install backflow prevention devices correctly to avoid mandatory correction orders.
