We are Miami's favorite plumber has been our label for a while Vleyz Plumbing services is a customer focused plumbing company Located in Miami FL we employ highly trained plumbers whose goal is to make our company the best service company in the Miami area. We are prepared for projects and equipment replacement

"Do not hire this company. If there’s an issue after they do the work, more than likely you won’t heard or see them again. In a nutshell they unresponsive and unprofessional to say the least. I Don’t want to make this too lengthy so I’m keeping it as short as possible so that you know what my issues are with this company. Samuel (one of the 2 plumbers said to fix the charge will be $1,200. I said I’ll get more quotes he then agreed to $800 for a job that took less than 1 hour. I hired them to repair a leak on my main water line on 11/28/2024. I called my water company on 12/16/24 to confirm if the water consumption was back to normal and they told me no. They can see live daily what’s going on. Samuel thinks a bill 30 later is the only way to know if the leak is still present and this is not the case. I’m sure they know this as well. Technology is a beautiful thing. I explained to Samuel in a voice mail and text that the water company is on the line with me now and will let him know the leaks has not been fixed. I sent several text and voice mails about the on going leak and for them to come back to fix asap. The representative agreed that we can do a conference call with the plumber. He did not answer my call or text. I was ghosted/received the silent treatment. My last voice mail and text messages to him was 1/2/25. No replies or call backs. I filed a complaint to Angie on 12/16/24 and the Plumber company had until 12/26/24 to reply and they did not. How ironic my last text and voicemail must have prompted them to now reply to Angi regarding my complaint. I said Just want you to know I just left you a detailed message about the leak and that I consider this abandonment of service from you if I don’t hear from you today You were pay in full, so there’s no reason why you should not complete this job. That’s why I’m calling this abandonment of Service which is unethical on your part. As a business and employee/r you never disregard your customers concerns which I have expressed to you. And nevertheless you never showed up, returned my previous calls/text. The. Suddenly they replied back on 1/2/2025 on the same day of my last text and voicemail Angi previously known as Home Advisors. As of today I have not hear from anyone from this company. They do not honor their 90 day working guarantee. I needed them to come back 2 weeks later and to be on a quick call with the water company . To his credit I did speak to Samuel for a very brief moment the first time a call..he was quite dismissive so I could not fully explain to much in our minute or less phone call. He told me he wouldn’t come back until January 2025. I texted and called 1/2/25 with details to come fix the leak. No answer from my voicemail or text messages."

"Prior to installation, my water heater was old but compliant with local laws and passed inspection. After installation, it failed inspection, and Raider Rooter refused to address the issue. They claim I need an electrician to install a shut-off valve, citing a “new law,” but this requirement has existed since 2011—something any reputable plumber should know. I offered to split the cost; they declined, leaving me with a water heater that now fails inspection. Their contract did not disclose this potential need, which would have changed my review. Instead, they left me with a non-compliant water heater."

"Mike was a very knowledgeable and friendly professional plumber .

My previous plumber from a different company neglected to properly strap the pex water lines in my attic and inside my shower wall. This caused not only an annoying clanging of the Pex water lines but as Mike importantly pointed out would cause rubbing and chaffing resulting an eventual rupture and flood in my home left uncorrected .

FAQs for water heater service projects in Pembroke Pines, FL

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

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 usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
