Noah's Plumbing

My rental tenant in Santa Clara County had been without hot water for a total of nine days, due to the water heater tank in the rental house failing. They had experienced short two day interruptions in the water heater tank operating, but my regular plumber was able to get the water heater tank to work again. This time was different, as he could not get the water heater tank to operate again. As a property manager, I was desperate to find a plumber to get that water heater tank operating again. Replacing it would not be cheap, as it is a very expensive low NOx 75 gallon model of water heater tank. The tank was also still under an exteneded parts warranty from the manufacturer, Up until the 9th day of no hot water, I had a total of three very experienced, licensed plumbers, from three different plumbing companies, drive out to work on that water heater tank, with the water heater tank manufacturer sending out three different replacement parts, via overnight delivery, all under a parts and shipping warranty. None of those three plumbers could get the water heater to even turn on, let alone start to supply hot water. Fortunately for my tenants, I telephoned the water heater tank manufacturer, and they referred me to Standard Plumbing Supply in Santa Clara, Standard Plumbing Supply referred me to an independent reseller of water heater tanks in the east bay, and that reseller fortunately referred me to Bernard Ferreira of the appropriately named; Noah’s Plumbing. On the same day that I telephoned Bernard, and explained to him the desperate situation my tenants were in, he quickly agreed to interrupt his busy schedule, and drive over to my rental house, that same afternoon. Within just forty minutes, he was able to do what three other plumbers could not do, he got the water heater to produce hot water for only $275.00. That might seem like a lot of money, for only forty minutes of work, but when you have had tenants inside a rental house without hot water for nine days, $275.00 is a bargain, especially with him showing up on such short notice. Also, considering I paid one of the three previous plumbing companies, $400, for a licensed and experienced plumber to spend an entire afternoon to waste his time on the water heater tank, and still not determine how to start it. That $275.00 charge, was a very low fee. I am not currently, nor have I ever been related to, nor a friend of any owner or employee at Noah’s Plumbing, or Bernard Ferreira. I have never hired Bernard, nor anyone at Noah’s Plumbing for any work, prior to this water heater tank repair. I had never even heard of Bernard Ferreira before the day he arrived, to help my tenants and me. Also, I am not, nor have I ever been paid by anyone, for any recommendation, in person, or on the world wide web. What you are reading, are my own words. I choose to remain anonymous, as a residential rental property manager, I value the privacy of my tenant’s, as well as my privacy. If I perceive a service provider is less than perfect, I will not write a bad review for that organization or individual, and I have been asked to write a web reviews before. It was for a small shop in Santa Clara County, but I chose not to express my opinion about their organization, as the company was slightly less than perfect. In all of my interactions with them. Bernard Ferreira, did quality work, at a fair price. If you need a plumber in Santa Clara County to repair or install a Rheem, Ruud, or General Electric, commercial or residential, compressed natural gas, propane, or electrically operated potable water heater tank, then Bernard Ferreira with Noah’s Plumbing, is the plumber for you. He not only accepts checks, he even accepts payment via PayPal. He will not charge the lowest price in the county, but he will provide fantastic value for the dollar; which in my experience, is a rare quality among the building service trades in Santa Clara County. And that is why it is a tragedy, that his knowledge about water heater tank repairs, positive attitude, and his fast and efficient work ethic, can not be cloned.
