My water heater went out nearly two weeks ago the night before we took a week long trip.  Since we had another place to take showers, we got the company  we use for other ac/heating service to shut down the water heater and also got a proposal from them which was around $2200 for a water heater of the exact make (State) as the one which went bad. 

After reading some water heater reviews, we decided we'd prefer a Rheem, so didn't use the first service provider. 

We got a quote from another plumbing co which was roughly the same (only about $150 more) as the Water Heater Experts quote, but saw in Angie's List that they only had a "B" rating. 

Seeing that Water Heater Experts had an "A" rating and specialized in water heaters, I called them and discussed our needs with them to see what they had to say. 

Unlike the other plumbing company, they did not try to "upsell" me in any way.  In fact, they did more of a "downsell" and probably lost out on what would have been a few quick "sucker" bucks (not really, I'm not that gullible). 

Anyway, from my discussions with both the boss and the installer, I decided to just get the basics done and see how well this higher rated Rheem water heater performs.  Their labor guarantee made that a comfortable decision.

Also, I learned from them that a few simple things like regularly draining the water heater once a year or so could prolong the life of the water heater (and that the problem isn't necessarily a bad water supply, as another plumbing co tried to sell).

My old "State" brand heater started leaking after 8 years use.  Oddly enough, though, Water Heater Experts told me that my old water heater was actually BUILT much longer ago  and showed me how to determine this based on model/serial numbers.

Since I have rental property with the identical brand (only 40 gal instead of 50), I checked and found that it is also MUCH OLDER than I had thought. 

I'm planning to drain that tank soon to see what kind of goo comes out.

Great service, good advice, good prices, and a better warranty on labor than the other guys I checked. 

And if I ever need a replacement (maybe for the rental), I'm DEFINITELY calling the Water Heater Experts AGAIN.

"Josh did an excellent job installing 2 new toilets in our home. He was very courteous and took great care while working in the house removing the old toilets, one upstairs and one on the main floor, crossing over hard wood floors and carpet as he did his work. He even left his shoes on the front door mat without being asked! Josh hauled away the old toilets and even took with him the cardboard boxes and packing materials the new toilets came in. Toilets work perfectly and we are extremely pleased with the work performed. We highly recommend McCoy Plumbing."

"Albert was extremely responsive in coming out for an estimate and follow-up, and then called a few days in advance to let us know the date they would begin the work.  He described every element in his quotation in detail.  Albert uses "Mad Dog" primer (www.maddogprimer.com) and admits that it is expensive.  However, he believes it at least doubles the life of the paint and he provides a 5-year warranty and free pressure washing yearly for five years to prove that the paint job will hold up well as a result of using the expensive primer.
We were a bit disappointed in the professionalism of the work crew.  They arrived on time but did not seem to have a grasp of the job scope and were very sloppy in beginning the pressure washing.  They sprayed water all over the screened porch (which was supposed to be wiped down by hand and not pressure washed) and got pressure washing solution all over our porch furniture.  A phone call to Albert got the mess cleaned up and the work crew properly "calibrated."  They were extremely courteous guys, though.
They did a nice job on the primer and painting, and also on the fence which we had them stain with Home Depot's Behr deck stain.  They were sloppy on some parts of the job, and in a few instances splashed paint all over the screens on the screened porch.  The screens were too spattered to clean, and so the job foreman said he would replace them instead.  It took him three tries to satisfactorily repair the two damaged screens.
They went out of their way to match the paint color on some of the window, door, and siding flashing so that it would blend nicely with our brick.  This was over and above the scope of the job and speaks to Albert's desire to do whatever is necessary to make the customer happy.
Lastly, the crew was totally unprepared for the post-job window cleaning that Albert promised.  We had to call twice to remind them to come back for the window cleaning, and when they finally came back they didn't have any supplies.  We had to give them towels and they used water, not window cleaner!  Then we had to call them back AGAIN when they took our towels with them.  They did a pretty poor job on the windows, and we had to go over their work and re-wash all of the windows ourselves.
Overall, despite the problems listed above, Albert is certainly worth consideration as we found his overall pricing to be very competitive and they did do a good job.  We would caution anyone who decides to use Albert's Painting to just make sure you closely follow their work and tell them exactly what you want and expect - repeatedly.  Albert is always a phone call away and it is a good idea to make sure the crew knows that you aren't afraid to call Albert if you aren't happy.  Despite the problems mentioned, the crew was very friendly and really wanted to do a good job.  Every item that we pointed out for rework or touch-up was done without argument and with a smile.  For these reasons, we would not hesitate to call on Albert again in the future.

"These guys are good !! This is the second time we have used them. Once at a home in Providence Country Club, now to a downsized townhouse. From the sales desk of Noel, to scheduling from Donny, to setup by Mike, to install by Alvero and Leo, to the sweep up guy Jeff. They all made this a pleasant experience. Imported Stone was also able to work us into there busy schedule around Thanksgiving. Thanks again. Looking forward to using you folks again. I will tell folks about your excellent service also.

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Albemarle, NC

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
