Riethco Plumbing

Water Heater Installation and Replacement, Water Heater Repair or Service, Sump Pump Repair or Replace,

About us

Riethco Plumbing evolved from its roots of Rieth & Austin Plumbing & Heating in Elkhart, Indiana in 1958. The Founders, Albert R. (Bud) Rieth Jr. and Tex Austin entered the contracting business with previous experience in the trade from Warfel Plumbing & Heating, formerly of Elkhart. Bud's son, Bob, gained experience and training in the management of a successful business and became President in 1985. He has worked in the family business for nearly 40 years, as an apprentice, a licensed journeyman and continues as a master plumber. During an economic downturn, the Company decided to specialize in plumbing and focus more on service and repair work versus new construction work. Riethco Plumbing attempted a joint venture with Service Experts in 2008, only to find an insurmountable difference in business operation and ethics. Riethco separated from Service Experts, and is, once again, on its own, providing quality plumbing services with the customers best interest at heart.

Cost was $1690.00 + tax. Water heater is available at Lowe's or Menards for about $600.00.. Additional parts of 1 valve and 2 flex pipes were used, less than $100.00. He was on-site for 90 minutes, and let's add 60 minutes (generous) for travel. That equates to $400.00/hr. Another issue is that tax was charged on the full $1690.00 and labor is not taxable.

Small business. Owner was very good to deal with. Called him one afternoon for a quote on replacing a home water heater. Price was fair, and he could do the job the next morning. Nice guy, on time, good work. Just what I needed

I called them on a Thursday to install a new water heater, fully expecting to wait at least a week to get it done. He scheduled the job for the very next day. He asked pertinent questions about my old tank and gave me a quote over the phone. He got the job done quickly and neatly and made sure everything impacted was in working order before he left. Best service I've ever experienced.

I was very impressed with this company. My old water heater quit working. I contacted Riethco and they gave me a quote over the phone and within a couple of hours I had a new one installed (on a Saturday). Very professional install and hauled away the old water heater.

This guy is retired and really does not want to do any work. Charges you $100.00 to come out without telling you that. Then does not even turn on my main water valve behind my tub. Says I need a bunch of work done but he picks what jobs he wants to do. The total bill was over $150.00

Very responsive and we had the new water heater w/in a day. It was a bigger size (75 gal)so hard work to get out and put in on a hot day, but all went well. Covered the stairs to basement, very professional, and I am happy to now have a plumber name to call upon again when needed.

Bob was very prompt in returning my call, assessing the situation and making his recommendation. My hot water heater (electric) was leaking and 15+ years old. I was able to send him a picture of the heater and it s location and he was able to give me a quote immediately. I had been doing my due diligence and chose Riethco based on all the above and Home Advisors ratings. Very pleased and have called on Riethco again with same 5 star service.
