"Plumber misdiagnosed the problem. I had to let him go as he was struggling to figure out problem and I had to hire another plumber. I paid In and Out for their time, even though problem wasn't solved. I won't use them again."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet every consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent customer service from start to completion of a project. To understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a personal and professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Camilo and Luis are fantastic plumbers. I manage several vintage apartment properties and always use Camilo and Luis at Pinnacle Plumbing for our routine jobs such as faucet repair and replacements, clogged bathroom/kitchen drains, water heater and gas wall heater replacement. One of the biggest jobs that we had to do was a complete sewer pipe replacement underground of our large vintage Victorian building. This involved excavating through the foundation and under the sidewalks to repair and replace sewer pipes that connect to the City sewage laterals. Luis and Camilo did a wonderful job of not only making the replacements and repairs, but we’re very empathetic to not disturb the tenants, with a focus on safety and good customer experience. They coordinated the entire large project from getting the permits to supervising the other subcontractors who had to excavate through concrete and also replace the concrete upon the jobs conclusion. You’ll be in good hands with Pinnacle! 👍🏼"

"When I needed to get a water heater replaced before a weekend after calling it on a Wednesday afternoon, they did it. Every other plumber called could barely send someone to give a quote! It can be hard to find a service company in San Francisco that behaves like they want your business so I was truly grateful. And while the job cost a lot more than I expected, they were able to help with the price because I was in a tight spot financially. Also, when I had an issue that I discovered later on with hot water not getting to the hydronic central heating, Adam came back to bleed the line when I was out of town! That's excellent customer service right there! They have a great team and they run a tight ship!"

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in San Francisco, CA

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.
