"Tuesday in June 2022, 4:03 PM Received a call from my wife, that our water had stopped while my son was in the shower. 4:14 PM Placed a call to Quality Water (QW) for Service. Keep in mind they are a "24 hour" service, is what they say. Customer Service (CS) said when asked, for service call charges normally is $135.00. After 4 PM is when premium rates kick in, which is $229.00 for service call (not per hour) to get back up plus parts and I said I was okay with that because I did not have water. LONG STORY SHORT: they called couldn't be out that night and put me off till next morning. They called next morning, all crew out on a big job and can't make it till tomorrow-24 hrs. service? When they did, the plumbing was way different and after they came back out to change it, again as I had before, they didn't do like I asked and leaks. Charged me $2395.00 to replace a switch & 22 gal. pressure tank - very high, but they had me over a barrel. Check the picture of the plumbing I found after they left - I trusted them for years and was shocked of how I found it when it simple came straight in down and over to the tank like a square Z to this? No written estimate or receipt, I had to call to ask for it. As a former service manager, I can tell you this service manager, Aaron did not handle this correctly at all. In pre court resolution now, and possible small claims to rectify. This from a customer that used this company for a couple decades, but first time for 911 services - no longer using unless this is cleared to satisfaction. Take my advise, don't call them for 911 services because they will rack you over the coals and are NOT true 24 hour service. There is a lot more bulleted points I could add, but won't. I am a patient person, but they blocked both my phone numbers and the owner never called to solve, only left a response on Google reviews to give him a call to resolve and want to keep their rave reviews. They have my number and if cared, could have this taken care of long ago. Unfortunately, small claims are next, if not cleared up very soon."

"They did a great job. There was a slight smell of gas in my basement so I wanted to get it fixed to be safe. I called a company and they said my gas control valve was broke and told me it would cost me $700-800 to replace and the gas leak would be fixed. I wanted to get a second opinion to see if the first company was trying to overcharge me. I called Makeithot and had them come out to see what they thought. They checked to make sure all my lines were properly sealed and found that the leak was coming from the gas control valve but did not need replaced. They only charged me $250. Makeithot’s honesty saved me around $500! They were very professional and I thought them wearing the shoe covers while in the house was a nice touch too.

We are a Christian owned, family business run by a third generation Mater Plumber that provides expert sewer & drain services, high pressure water jetting and sewer camera with locator. As well as trenchless pipe repair options for all underground applications. Our mission statement is to "serve God by meeting the needs of our community through good honest service, a commitment to customer services and adherence to building codes to provide a safe and healthy environment for all". All of our work comes with the best in area guarantee.

"In May of this year, I was referred to C Lee Plumbing Services by Home Builder. I contacted them because water was overflowing from my 2nd Floor to my 1st Floor. Some on came out on May 28th and informed me that my branch line was clogged. I was charged 285.64 to clear this line in my basement. Once this service was provided I was told that their is a 1-year guarantee on service provided. Earlier this week I contacted C Lee Plumbing Services again because I could see that this line was clogged again and I requested that someone come out and unclog the same branch drain as before.  On 12.11.19 Taylor Lee came out , looked at the problem and stated that the branch drain was not the issue. He continued to state the issue was actually from the Main Drain and quoted 415.00 to clear the main drain. I declined the service and paid 59.00 for the service call. Taking this information I shopped around and found another Plumbing company to clear the main line because this is what Taylor Lee from C Lee Plumbing Services stated was needed. I contacted Sal's Heating and Cooling to clear my main drain line. Sal's Heating and Cooling sent some one out the next day. After snaking the main line drain they informed me that this was not the issue. They then proceed to investigate the issue more an found that the issue was the branch drain ( that should have been covered by my one year guarantee from C Lee Plumbing Services) and not the main drain. Sal's Heating and Cooling promptly cleared the branch line and provided an invoice that said, "Snaked the main sewer ran snake all the way out. Still holding after in the floor sink. Found secondarycleanout located in addition. Snaked from there as well and opened up the sewer. Recommended to the customer if problem continues to snake and camera. At this point seems to be soft blockage. Maybe at wye." I sent this information to C Lee Plumbing Services and was told that Sal's Heating and Cooling did not perform the Services that they stated on the invoice that they did. I was told by the Office Manager that I was being dishonest and was told that they would need someone from Sal's Heating and Cooling needed to call them. I do not know why this came up. I am not sure if it was because of a personal physical discrepancy or what. They would not call the other company. I called Sal's Heating and Cooling and they stated that as a policy they do not call other plumbing companies but agreed that they put what happened on the invoice. In summary my issue is that over the last two days 371.12 in funds have been allocated to a service from Sal's Heating and Cooling that I was told was guaranteed for one year at no additional charge by C Lee Plumbing Services."

Water heater services FAQs

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.
