We started Better Water Heaters to provide fair pricing and quality service to the customers seeking water heater service or replacement. The truth is, most companies overcharge because they know you need hot water immediately and will probably pay a lot to get it quick. My typical customer is one who has price shopped the competition and have decided most companies either charge way too much or are hard to pin down to a firm price. We understand. You simply need a water heater and don’t want to deal with a sleazy salesman…you want to talk to a plumber….so give us a call and we’ll talk. At Better Water Heaters we do something quite rare in the plumbing business- install water heaters for a fair price. We grow our business one satisfied customer at a time; we don’t take advantage of a plumbing emergency and charge unreasonably. Your referral is important to us that is why we always will work to insure your complete satisfaction. We’re a small company and we keep our overhead low, because of this we don’t need to charge unreasonably. Of course we are licensed, bonded and insured and are very experienced at water heater installation and repair. We are experts in convention water heater repair and replacement, Tankless water heater installation, and other plumbing issues. We are the only water heater installation company in northern California that has earned the prestigious DIAMOND CERTIFICATION. We are also member of the Better Business Bureau. Our advertised prices include a quality water heater, basic installation and disposal of your old unit; Extra parts and labor required to do the job right, are additional. Call us for all your water heating needs. Estimates are always free and we never charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays.

"Better Water Heater installed our tankless water heater incorrectly, creating a significant safety hazard for our tenant, an African American family of 5 with 3 small children. After a contractor from AHS reviewed the installation, they confirmed multiple issues, including code violations and fire risks. Major Problems with the Installation: Unsafe placement in a closet - The condensate has no proper drainage, which could lead to mold, rust, and fire hazards. Improper use of an evaporator pan - This pan is not intended for water heaters, creating a fire risk in an enclosed space. Oversized unit for our home - The Rinnai RU160iN is designed for larger homes. It's far too big for our 1-bed, 1-bath house, making it inefficient. Insufficient gas line - According to AHS, the gas line is too small to support this oversized unit, which could lead to gas flow issues or even pose a fire hazard. The city won't allow this installation to pass inspection because the gas line doesn't meet the required capacity. Permit/code violations - The installation was done without a permit and violates multiple building codes. When we confronted the company, they insisted their work was done correctly. Their "solution"? If we wanted the job to be done legally, we would have to pay for both the permit, their time working with inspectors, and additional costs to fix their mistakes--$995 for a bigger gas line to support the oversized unit. On top of that, they quoted us $585 for permit costs, even though the city building department told us the permit fee is only $150. Bottom Line: If you want a safe, legal, and code-compliant installation, DO NOT trust Better Water Heater. They cut corners, refuse accountability, and expect customers to pay extra to fix their mistakes."

We’re a family business: Sami, Pini and their sons are the core of Sami and Sons. When you work with us you’re treated like family. We value our customer’s time, needs, and opinions. We want to build beautiful things together and help your home fit your needs. We bring Silicon Valley to building: Whether we are remodeling your kitchen or building you a new home we have all the tools needed to make the process seamless. From 3-D designs to VR (virtual reality) walk-throughs you will know exactly how your project will look at completion. We are here for you every step: You will be taken care of and in touch with your own personal project manager that is assigned to you and your project. We are there for every development and every question. You’re family, we’ll take care of you. Our customers love us: And we love them too. Check out our Houzz, Yelp, and Facebook!

"We chose Sami and Sons over 3 other contractors we interviewed with to remodel our bathroom, and we couldn't be happier. After meeting with Abel and Sami himself we discussed a very reasonable cost estimate for the work that needed to be done. Abel even took us out shopping to several tile and home improvement stores to fan our imaginations of what could be possible for our new bathroom. Throughout the entire process the staff from their front office to their onsite project manager Paul were always very responsive and helpful. This was our first major remodel and laborers were very knowledgeable about creating the bathroom we wanted to achieve while keeping up to date with building codes and city permits. Mario and Erick always asked us questions on how we wanted details in the bathroom to turn out. Always gave us suggestions when we were clueless, and always advised us properly when choosing fixtures and other materials for the build. It was very helpful and reassuring that the managers used the BuilderTrend scheduling app so we knew what tasks were to be completed and on what days so my wife and I could plan things ahead of time. There was a miscommunication about the work at one point, but once we were able to talk to the project manager and other managers on the job they were able to resolve the issue very quickly and to our satisfaction. Scheduling work per day could've been more efficient, but overall we loved the results and our bathroom turned out exactly the way we envisioned and we've been loving it ever since it's completion. Thanks again Sami and Sons for making our dream come true."

Over 45 year's of experience in residential siding, window installation, and any other home renovation project, you’ll want to hire home remodelers with decades of professional experience and a commitment to exceptional service.

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - PLEASE READ & THINK TWICE, THREE TIMES. Sorry for the war & peace review but this is the short version. We purchased six (6) large, custom-built windows from K-Designers in 2017. The windows were installed incorrectly, and we were not aware of water problems until six months after installation, immediately notifying K-Designers of the issue. Sine that initial call in 2017, we have contacted K-Designers countless times over the years, speaking to many different individuals in leadership roles and nothing has been done to correct the problem. They sent individual out to assess the problem and one individual just added more calking around the outside of the windows but water continued to penetrate the house. More folks would continue to come out and then we never hear from them again. THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS. This last year we remodeled our home. The building contractor removed he trim and framing around the windows as it was evident the framing was becoming rotten and I explained in greater details the water problems we have been experiencing. New hardwood floors were being installed and we could not risk water damaging the floors. When the framing was removed, my building contractor showed me MULTIPLE openings around the windows where you could see light coming in from the outside. I called K-Designers again and I was (finally) put in touch with Regional Branch Manager from the Portland office. He seemed very concerned and was very responsive. The repairs to fix K-Designers mistake was $4,631.88. The Regional Manager believed that his company could have done the repairs for $1000. My building contractor stated under no circumstances could the repairs around the windows be adequately fixed for $1000, a great deal of damage had been done. My building contractor ALSO said he would be happy to talk to anyone at K-Designers and provide greater detail about the work they had to do to fix the problem. No representative from K-Designers contacted my building contractor and we finally settled to receive a payout of $1000. I suppose something is better than nothing. I signed the settlement agreement on 2/22/2024 and have not heard from the regional manager or anyone from K-Designers. My wife and I have both tried to contact the Regional Manager numerous times from different phones, leaving messages asking him to call us. We have also sent text messages and emails as well, with no response. I emailed the company, no response. itâ s very clear we are being ignored and this is their business practice. We came out of pocket with money we did not have to fix K-Designers installation mistake. The reason I gave a 3.5 rating for the value of the windows is I learned we paid way to much when we were having other windows replaced & the contractor told me how much he would have charged me."

Percolation testing services FAQs

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.
