"I overfilled my garbage disposer!! My sink had 2 inches of water as a result of my trying a plunger to clear it. I called RS Plumbing at 4:45 in the afternoon and Steve came the next morning at 8:00.

He had me clear the area around the basement pipes in case the clog was more major than I hoped. He was able to clear the drain only in the kitchen area. He worked efficiently and had the drain running freely. I asked him to check the dishwasher hosing in case that was part of the blockage. I have had problems with that before.

RS Plumbing was prompt, competent, and overall good to work with."

"If I could give 10 stars, I would. My water heater started spewing out water at 5PM on an unsuspecting Wednesday evening. I called several local businesses that offered â 24 hourâ service, with no luck coming out that evening. However, I received a call around 7PM from Adam Langridge, the owner of Otter Plumber. He said he would be able to come out to my house by 8PM, which he did. He took a look at the water heater, and he said that I needed it replaced, which did not come as a big surprise considering the unit was over 12 years old. We discussed what options I had, and how to proceed with the replacement. Ultimately, I purchased a brand-new water heater the following day from a local hardware store, and he said that he would go pick it up and would install it the same day. He didnâ t even charge me for the evening house call. He picked up the unit in the afternoon, the following day, and installed the unit within 2 hours, having everything finished by 5PM. From start to finish, it took less than 24 hours to get a new water heater replaced!!! You cannot find a more reliable and efficient worker!!! I would hire Adam 10 out of 10 times without thinking about it twice. Thank you Otter!!!"

"I was so happy when they said that they could be out there the same night as the day that I called.  But then I was considered a non-emergency and my appointment got cancelled.  I was unable to have hot water or heat with out these repairs, but I was not an emergency.
They got a repair man out a few days later and he was able to give me a quote but not fix it.  He was able to tell me exactly what needed to be done and why some of the damaged had happened.  I always appreciate a good explanation of the situation.
The installation person came during the day (so I had a friend there because I was at work) and he forgot to seal one of the holes in the chimeny, this would again make it dangerous to operate either unit.  The plumber that came the same day noticed it, and we got the repair guy back there to seal off the other holes in the chimney. 
So when you call them they can be there that day, maybe, but they are going to pressure you to sign up for there 'customer club.'  I think the club is a good deal. but here is the gist of it so that when you call you will alreayd have had time to run these numbers. I do not have an AC unit so it was one $120 (instead of $240) they give you $100 off of the initial visit to see what is wrong (originally $139) and then a percentage off the repair costs, and they do one furnace tune up a year (if you have an AC they also come look at that once).

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy — noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump’s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it’s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.
