Jacob was quick & efficient from the very beginning - rapidly responding to my inquiry on Thumbtack, throughout the entire process of removal & returning my still under warranty failed water heater - which was from another company,
& then installation of my new waterheater.
He gave me a number of options for the replacement of my waterheater and was so accommodating to my needs; including when I couldn’t be present during his neat and tidy professional installation.
I’ll recommend him if I know anyone that needs a new waterheater.

Erik was professional from my first conversation. He came out the next day to replace my old tank waterheater with a tankless waterheater and install a utility sink. I would recommend his services, and they are competitively priced, but more importantly, excellent quality.

Daniel and his son Alex did an excellent job installing an electric waterheater for me. They were even able to quickly solve a major problem I was having where when I turned off the valve next to the old leaking waterheater, I lost all water to the inside of my house! Very pleasant to work with.

I reached out to PRO TANKLESS and a few minutes later Yeison responded. The price was right and they started on really short notice. The install included a top of the line tankless waterheater and outlet install. Very clean install. Really happy.

Fantastic service!!!!! I found Jacob through the Thumbtack app and enlisted his help to look over my waterheater for my condo that I recently moved into. He responded to my inquiry in seconds! He visited my home this evening and made me feel very comfortable with what was installed and gave his expert opinion that I didn’t need any of his waterheater services. He actually put in a few more screws in the flue for good measure and installed a water detector completely free. Reliable, professional and kind, I would highly recommend. I will be returning for future business.

We just had Jacob take care of our tankless waterheaterinstallation. He was great! We had a few people come out to provide estimates and I knew after meeting Jacob that he was the one! Personable, professional and honest. I would also like to note that our original waterheater (tank) was in our attic and it was quite the job getting it down. Jacob made it look easy! He was so efficient yet also provided quality workmanship. I cannot recommend Jacob enough!

I had Jacob install a tankless waterheater in my home and I’t be happier with the service. The communication was top-notch, they responded to my inquiries promptly and kept me updated throughout the process. There were no surprises or hidden costs, which was a relief. The installation was done efficiently and Jacob was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for anything plumbing.”

Jacob did an outstanding job at replacing our tank waterheater with a tankless one we provided. From the beginning, he surprised me with how quick he was at responding to messages and answering my questions.
Trusted Water System provided a competitive quote. Jacob provided us with an onsite estimate on a Friday and scheduled our install for the following Monday.
On the day of install, Jacob arrived on time and completed the job within a few hours. His work looks clean and aesthetically pleasing, in particular the layout and routing of the pipes. Overall, I am very pleased with the results and happy we went with Trusted Water Systems.

Hunter was quick to respond, very responsive with reasonable prices. He was able to schedule an estimate the next day and get a new waterheaterinstalled at the same time. Final cost was within the estimate range originally quoted and he gave me a receipt when job was done. I would highly recommend Hunter!

Guillermo has replaced my leaky 50 gal waterheater on short notice, and also brought the installation into compliance with the latest codes. He communicated fully and clearly along the way.
The compensation was competitive, and on the value side of the spectrum.
I will not hesitate to reach out to Guillermo for my future plumbing needs, and warmly recommend him for yours.

Jacob saved our Christmas. The 14 years old waterheater in the house we just moved in broken down 3 days before Christmas. Found Jacob on Thumbtack, time was around Friday 10pm.
He came 9am sharp the next morning as promised and finished installing a new 50 gallon Rheem in one hour and 40 minutes, so we will have hot water this Christmas.
Will definitely consider him in the future for any plumbing needs.

Miguel was a pleasure to work with. He is well-spoken and was gracious enough to give us a good deal after an unexpected mishap. The new waterheater did not work after it was installed. Miguel had to replace it a second time with a new one we purchased on the fly. He also discovered a water pressure regulator issue which he was going to fix another day then when he was leaving he checked further and discovered it was fine and informed us we didn't need to do anything. I would recommend him without hesitation.

If you’re looking for a professional, affordable, thorough, plumbing specialist who takes pride in providing excellent customer service while taking great care to ensure that they are providing quality service, look no further!
These guys are awesome! It was Thursday evening and I was frantically looking on Thumbtack for an affordable plumber to come out and replace our waterheater that had just leaked out all over my garage floor. There were plenty to choose from who all had great reviews so I sent a message out to the top five for an estimate. One quoted over $3000 for the water heater plus additional parts and labor. In addition to coming out in a weekend for another fee for emergency service. It would be close to $5000. That plumber refused to install anything bought at a retail store. Another plumber said he didn’t recommend it but would still install the “crap” waterheater from the retail store if I wanted it. But also had high rates and emergency weekend charges. It would be $2800 plus whatever I paid for the “crap” water heater.
Then in less than 30 minutes, I got a text from Emmanuel. He said that RapidDrain Pros can take care of me. It was getting late so I waited til Friday to reach out. When I got up in the morning for work, I noticed a voicemail on my phone. It was Emmanuel checking to see if we were okay. He said I got your message and it sounded like an emergency and wanted to see if you needed someone to come out tonight to help get the situation under control. That phone call alone told me all I needed to know about what kind of customer service this company provides! After a few back and forth text messages, we settled on a quote that was less than half of what the other plumbers quoted and that included a commercial grade, quality water heater that I purchased from them. The plumber arrived on time, was very quiet, professional, worked clean and efficiently. He double checked everything, took pictures of his work and when he was done, Emmanuel arrived to inspect his work. This company makes sure their customers are satisfied and they show you the quality of their work! They even came back at no additional charge to replace the drain pipe from the water heater’s overflow pan to ensure that if there ever was a leak, the water would not shoot out all over the place. They guarantee their work and Emmanuel even told me to call them in a year and they come back a provide a complimentary flush of the waterheater.
These are some good guys that do professional, quality work and they understand the value of excellent customer service! I will recommend them to everyone I know!! This is a company that deserves to prosper, they put customer satisfaction over profit! Thank RapidDrain Pros!!!

Very positive experience. I had 3 professionals from Thumbtack come and bid my project.
West was professional, willing to answer my questions, and be flexible on which waterheater to install and, most of all, was fair on price.
With the other 2 companies, I felt like I was definitely getting preyed on. They were hoping to screw me on price. They bid me 700 dollars higher for the same job!
I would definitely recommend.

Phil, Kenny, and company are outstanding and worked very well (and hard) for our waterheater project. I had a tank burst and they were able to come out within an hour and answer all my questions about options. I decided on a tankless system, so they quoted me on multiple options and made it easy to settle on the best one that fit my family needs. They came out the next day for install (chose the tankless) and knocked it out of the park.

Christian is top-notch, superb, and excellent. He takes his time to give you a perfect work product. He saved space for us by putting his person touch onto the piping. His prices are extremely fair and great. I would not use anyone else. He will give you all the options and help you choose what works best for you. He installed a tankless waterheater for my home and for my business. I recommend him and will use him for future projects.

I connected with Hugo the same morning he completed my waterheater replacement and his responsiveness was fantastic as he was able to come out a mere few hours later. He did a great, professional job on the install for an equally great price. He was courteous and even cleaned up the site after (sadly something most contractors "forget" to do). He wanted to make sure I had all my questions answered and told me I could reach out to him later if I had any.
