We specialize in service, repairs and remodels for your plumbing, waste, HVAC and underground utility services in commercial and residential applications. Free estimates happily given upon request. Senior and military discounts. Additional DBA - Jet Services Inc.

"Homeowners insurance sent them out. Snaked away from the house, I asked if he wanted to look inside, and he said he didn't need to. Everything backed up that night, same problem. Called again they said they would need to run a camera down the line, homeowners' insurance wouldn't pay for it. We rented a snake from Home Depot, pulled the toilet and found the blockage along with a broken pipe under the house. When homeowners' insurance is going to send out Jet Plumbing ask for a different company or fix it yourself. Worst Service Ever."

Family owned & operated. Cost is determined by the job. License numbers: NV 17788, 18634, 73006, CA 463167.

"We bought the place knowing the water pipes needed to be replaced and it was the first task we took on after closing. D&D were good to work with. They were on time, had to track where the water lines were, cut out minimal drywall to do so, and worked with us to relocate the heater indoors from the crawl space, add water overflow pan/drain and were flexible regarding how to run the lines for an expected new washer/dryer. The whole job took two days to complete, with us taking care of drywall repairs later. We had one small and very slow drip leak involving one Rehau connector to the water heater which they fixed with a new Pex constriction ring. We have near instant hot water in the master bath now, very quick elsewhere; lower bills and greater confidence in the water pipes. The also fixed the main sewer line which was hanging low due to broken nylon hanging bands using a better strap system and J-hook at a 90 degree elbow at a corner. Our water pressure was well over 80 PSI with no regulator to begin with and the addition of a regulator was welcome relief to the potential effects. They replaced the "home made" home-run system made with individual T connectors on both hot and cold sides with a standard layout that is efficient for our small place. They included new hose bibs with frost protection brass fittings. The only concern we had was a pipe crossing in the primary wet wall between the utility room and master bath caused us to have to trim out the studs for drywall to fit well afterwards. We brought this to their attention and know they took some action to address it, but turned out not to be enough to satisfy the drywall; shimming the drywall out worked well enough, just a little more time. All in all, we were very satisfied with the effort and thought it well worth the price to get rid of the risk with polybutylene pipes and getting the water heater in a better environment.."

The Reno and Sparks area's trusted local family plumbing company for 30+ years. We are not that dirty guy in a van without insurance but a long established, professional, local family run business that puts quality and customers as our top priority. The Ira Hansen family plumbing business has proudly served Northern Nevada since we opened our doors in 1986 and recently won the Associated General Contractors board's "Skill Integrity and Responsibility" award. Our focus is simple, it's clean, professional and timely plumbing every day. We have hundreds of happy and loyal customers all over the Reno/Sparks area and hope you will join our plumbing family. We look forward to your call!

"They were timely and diagnosed the problem accurately but their charge was excessive without an explanation. I paid $1300. I checked the components at Home Depot and it added up to about $500. So they either jacked up the price of goods or charged $800 for a 2 hour service call. I called several times and left messages but they haven't responded. They gave me no itemized invoice. Also the plumber pushed for a cash/check option otherwise using credit would incur a 6.5% premium. That should have been my warning! Disappointed in poor customer service and value, they have lost my business and I will share with all."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

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’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

The lifespan of your water heater depends on the type of water. For traditional water heaters, you can expect it to last between 8 and 12 years if gas or 10 to 15 years if electric. Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. The total number of years you’ll get out of your water heater depends on the maintenance it receives and how much it’s used.
