"I'm a first time home owner and have only lived in apartments my whole life so living in a home was certainly going to be a learning curve. From hearing friends and families horror stories about dealing with various vendors from electrical to plumbing to contracting throughout the years, I felt a sense of stress of knowing I'd eventually have to find providers I could trust and who weren't looking to take advantage of my naivety in the process. I heard this could take several tries before finding the right people who you could rely on. Thankfully, Intact was my first try and they will be the ONLY plumbing vendor I ever use moving forward. There were a few minor things that came up in our inspection revolved around plumbing which is what started me on my quest of finding a reputable vendor. Things like replacing washer hoses, gas dryer pipes, and a leaky faucet. We also noticed that one of the toilet bowls had a very weak flush and that the upstairs kitchen sink would back up after about 45 seconds of continuous use. After submitting my quote request to Home Advisor, Shai (I assume is the owner) reached out within 15 minutes to get a sense of what was going on and then scheduled a in-home walk through to provide a proper estimate the very next morning (I commute to and from NYC daily so there was no other choice but for me to do it before catching my train and he was more than accommodating in this request). Shai arrived on time and even pointed out things that were not in working order like a broken gas valve and showed me things that weren't up to code. He even made some recommendations that I could on my own like getting water alarm detectors that are a small worthwhile investment in the event that an area ever started to have a leak. By that evening I had a very detailed and fairly priced quote for my review. I immediately approved and we scheduled to start the work a couple of days later. That Monday his team showed up and did their thing. They were able to fix everything except the kitchen sink drainage which turned into what would become a nightmare. What should have been a quick snaking through the pipes turned out to be a much larger problem. They spent an entire day trying to diagnose and find out exactly what was going on with the blockage. There were two theories 1) either there was a severe blockage that they were concerned could get pushed to the main causing a backup throughout the WHOLE house or 2) the pipe was broken. That's when they broke the news to me that they would have to break our foundation and try to find the pipe and where the issue was coming from. I immediately had an emotional breakdown and Shai and Johnathan calmed me down and told me not to worry and also educated me that Insurance could potentially even help offset the financial expenditure (he was right). The next day they returned. Did one last ditch effort to try to go through the opposite side of the pipe with no luck and then broke ground. Within a couple of hours they found the pipe and the culprit of what was causing the issue. Solidified black sludge that spanned several feet. They showed us how hard this stuff was by jamming metal rods into the pipe to try to chip away at it. At this point I was just thankful they found the actual problem and knew how to fix it. The very next day they replaced about 10 feet of the pipe with PVC, had their team lay down sand and concrete to repair our foundation and voila, we had free flowing draining water! They also took pictures and videos throughout the ENTIRE process which was helpful for me in submitting my claim to insurance. They truly took every measure and went the extra mile for EVERYTHING all the while being beyond helpful in educating me how we can deal with this and make it easy. Can not recommend these guys enough. They are true EXPERTS!"

"The repair went well. Within minutes of requesting quotes through Angi's list, Ralph called me and scheduled an appointment right away. Ralph called when in route to let me know what time to expect him. Ralph and Peter were super pleasant and immediately got to work to repair the issue with the gas pipe and valve. Ralph explained to me what needed to be done and he and Peter got the job done quickly and efficiently. I plan to recommend Ralph and Peter to all my real estate clients, knowing my clients will be happy with their service!"

Only one thing i am not happy is i think it was little pricey but since it was urgent service i can't complain."

"They did a fantastic job, however I believe the labor cost was a little steep. And they should share the maintenance on the water heater with the customer."

"PlunbWell and Bruno are an excellent choice for my difficult situation. I was getting the air in my hot and cold water lines and could not figure out where it was coming from. He called me in the morning and arrived promptly on time later in the afternoon. He determined that the storage tank was waterlogged, which meant that the blatter was broken and that was allowing air into the system. With further inspection and knowing the history of my submersible water pump, it was probably time to replace that also while he was here. He gave me three different estimates for different projects. I chose the best fit for me. Bruno spent probably double the time he should have two replace the holding tank and submerge pump that it should have taken because the well was an odd size, but maybe typical back in the late 50s early 60s. I would highly recommend PlunbWell and Bruno to repair any plumbing that you have in your house or business at a very reasonable cost."

"The electrician was professional, courteous and eager to please the customer. After the outlets were in, they had a drywall guy visit to repair and finish an area that had been opened run wires. Other companies do not go the extra mile. Integrated went that extra mile."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Rutherford, NJ

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
