Customer Reviews

“I had a great experience. From the start they were responsive, and easy to communicate with. The plumber arrived on time, explained the issue, and completed the work efficiently. The work was excellent, and everything was left clean and working perfectly.”

Emanuel Corona

“Fantastic experience… I noticed water coming from my sewer cleanout… requested a quote on Yelp and received a call from Peninsula right away… Hector and crew showed up within 30min and had the sewer line snaked & flowing again within another 30min.”

Matt C.

“John, Hector, and Yis were exceptional. They resolved our emergency plumbing issue within two hours—from the moment we called to the moment they pulled out of our driveway with everything fixed. We couldn’t be happier with their service.”

Frequently Asked Questions

No hot water, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent temperature? These quick answers cover the most common water heater repair issues, what impacts pricing, timelines, when replacement makes more sense, and what to expect during your visit with Peninsula Plumbing Solutions.

What are the most common signs my water heater needs repair?
The most common signs include no hot water, water that turns cold too quickly, rumbling or popping sounds, rusty or discolored water, leaks around the unit, inconsistent temperature, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit (gas units). We’ll diagnose the cause and explain the safest, most cost-effective fix.
Can you repair my water heater, or will I need to replace it?
Many issues can be repaired—like failed thermostats, heating elements, gas control valves, igniters, T&P valves, or minor leaks at fittings. Replacement is more likely if the tank is leaking, the unit is near end-of-life, repairs are recurring, or efficiency/performance is consistently poor. We’ll give clear repair vs. replacement options with upfront pricing before any work starts.
How long does a water heater repair take?
Many repairs can be completed the same day, often within a single visit. Timing depends on the issue, access, and whether parts are needed. After diagnosis, we’ll walk you through the recommended fix and expected timeline before proceeding.
Do you work on both tank and tankless water heaters?
Yes. We repair both tank and tankless water heaters, including gas and electric systems. We handle common tankless issues like ignition problems, mineral buildup, flow sensor errors, and inconsistent temperature—plus standard tank problems like element or thermostat failures.
How much does water heater repair cost?
Pricing depends on the type of heater (tank vs. tankless), fuel type (gas vs. electric), the failed component, accessibility, and whether the issue involves leaks, corrosion, or safety components. We provide clear, upfront pricing after diagnosis and explain the best repair options based on performance, safety, and budget.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
If there’s active leaking, shut off the cold water supply valve to the heater if it’s safe. Avoid using hot water, and keep the area around the unit clear for access. If you smell gas, leave the area and contact your gas utility first. For urgent repair needs, call (650) 549-9242 and we’ll guide you on the safest next steps.
