Question 1

How do you charge for jobs?

Accepted Answer

We give a flat rate for every job, so you’ll know the price of your job upfront. We’re not here to upsell or shortcut you—we’ll take the time to figure out the best solution to your problem and get the job done right.

Question 2

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

We don’t charge for coming to your house, but if we have to do a long diagnosis or a crawl inspection, we’ll likely charge for our time. However, if the problem is easy to diagnose, we’ll be prepared to give you a price and do the job on the spot. Our service vehicles are like warehouses on wheels—they have all the parts we need.

Question 3

Can you check my plumbing system for leaks?

Accepted Answer

Leak searches can be expensive. We’re happy to do an initial test that isolates your water lines from your irrigation, and we can usually figure out if there’s a problem without having to do a $1,000 leak test.

Question 4

Should I get a tankless water heater or a traditional water heater?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hot water needs. Tankless water heaters have lots of benefits—they’re compact, they’re more energy-efficient and you get an unlimited supply of hot water, so the cost over time can be much lower than a traditional water heater. However, they aren’t a great fit for every house, so it’s important to assess your needs before making a decision.

Question 5

How can I conserve water in my home?

Accepted Answer

One way is to add a recirculating pump to your traditional water heater so you don’t have to run a lot of cold water while waiting for hot water. If you don’t have room to do that, you can add a manifold to get instant hot water with a recirculating pump at each faucet.

Question 6

Do I need to flush my water heater?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the type of water heater, but it’s often a huge waste of water. However, there’s a sacrificial anode rod inside your water heater that needs to be replaced every six years. If you ignore it, your water heater won’t last very long.

Question 7

Are water softeners a good idea?

Accepted Answer

Water softeners help reduce the mineral content in your water. It’s called turbidity—the hardness is based on how many particles are in the water. Water softeners actually change the structure of the water and make it softer. They can often reverse damage that has been done by mineral buildup inside pipes and hot water tanks.
