Best Gas Water Heater Repair in Newark NJ

As a new homeowner, I am so happy to have found such a wonderful plumbing company. We have had two serious emergencies that we had to call Schaaf for. We dealt with Manny both times and he was super professional and explained everything to us in detail. He responded quickly for both emergencies and did a great job. The first time we called because our heat wasn't working in the middle of January!! I mentioned we had a baby and it was freezing and Manny showed up RIGHT AWAY to fix the problem. The last time was for a leak in our basement and he came to fix the clog first thing in the morning. They have also done smaller jobs like fixing leaks in our faucet, installing our nest thermostat, and a bathtub leak. Their prices are really affordable too! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable plumber.

Fast response and fair pricing. We will use them for our HVAC cleaning again for sure.

We had a broken shower control handle and we were able to call and get a plumber the day of which was great but the plumber then called and was complaining that he won't be able to make it that day and I really wasn't sure what I was supposed to do about that, I guess he should of called the office to talk to his dispatcher but he ended up coming anyway. He sees the shower control and asked who did this, it was my father's earlier mistake while he was adjusting something but I don't know why that matters. Then while he was working on the upstairs bathroom he called my father downstairs to turn the water on. Since the water is off in the house he turned the water main on assuming he's done with whatever he has to do. The plumber starts yelling that the water is spraying and to turn the main off again. He wasn't finished and he starts arguing and says that he told us that he said the water faucet specifically I was in my bedroom next to the bathroom and I all I heard him say was turn the water on so not sure if he misspoke. Could of just said to open the faucet downstairs to purge the air. Then he said he's going to take a break to dry off and he starts complaining on a call to someone in Spanish about us. Eventually got the job done so idk weird experience. Good if you're trying to get a plumber quickly, communication and professionalism is not there.

Absolute disaster! It took the person 8 hours to cap off the kitchen water lines & add an ice maker water line. Brought wrong size pipes, used worn out tools, didn't put up anything to mitigate dust to other rooms from the sawdust/ Sheetrock powder, etc. Added a new lower drain that didn't need to be done as told by the plumber that had to fix this disaster. Only reason to do what he did was if I needed a garbage disposal which I didn't. Cost me $600 for nothing! Demanded 200 extra dollars over the $2000 that Home Depot charged me. Told Home Depot that the   $200 was for a permit but I called the town & no such permit was taken.

My hot water heater had a leak from both incoming and outgoing pipes and needed a help. Guillermo was very prompt and gave me clear information about the issue. He was able come 1 hr earlier than the scheduled time, fixed the problem in about an hour. Maximo team is highly recommended.

Michael provides a great service. He is quick to respond, knowledgeable and presents your options. My toilet was leaking and Michael quickly identified it was the tank. Before anything else, he suggested we call to check if there was a warranty, which led to me obtaining a free tank and saving a few hundred $$$.

The work is quality work and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend using Michael's Plumbing Service.

Sent someone who complained the whole time he was there saying he wanted to go home.  Overweight and huffing and puffing......  

I initially called to have my kitchen sink cleared of a stoppage.  They bring in a snake and proceed to snake from under the sink.  It took them a while and ultimately, they were unable to get it cleared.

Ok, sometimes at the end of the day we don't have on our thinking caps and we are not as quick witted as we could be.  Why do people ask stupid questions like why do I need your Master Plumber's License?  Only people on Staten Island would be stupid enough to get angry at a customer for asking such a thing.  Nothing nefarious about that question when you want to confirm you are doing business with a LICENSED AND INSURED company.  GTFOH.  Making him look bad in front of the boss?  CTFU.  Boss should know smart people hire companies that their bona fides in order.

Rates seemed fair.  They took all the stuff they bought in back out and left the little mess they made (no problem) I'll leave it to clean up after I get the sink fixed.  

Would you go to a doctor and not know if he is licensed to practice medicine?  Want just anyone working on your electric?  I don't.  The rest of Staten Island can do what they want.  I was not charged, though by the time I went up to get checkbook to come back down to see how much I should give them for trying (not what they quoted me), they were already gone.

They did a great job installing new toilets in our house. We ran into a bunch of unexpected issues, and they worked patiently with us to resolve and get the work done. Thank you!

My bathtub was leaking through my kitchen ceiling. Adam came to give me an estimate within a half hour of my initial call at 7pm. The next morning he was there at 8 am and got the job done within a couple hours. Great service.

We had an unknown basement leak in our new townhouse. We were unable to diagnosis it and getting desperate. He was responsive - quick - and honest. I will be using him again.

He fixed: sump pump, replaced the bucket of the pump, fixed A/C condenser pump re routed, and fixed outdoor hose busted pipe.

Other things that made him standout-
1. Responded within the hour
2. Scheduled to come out to Westchester ASAP even during weekend
3. Diagnosed the problem and gave me 2 options for solutions - one that was an economical fix and got us out of the active leak situation and a more permanent solution at a very honest price
4. A new leak was discovered and he got that fixed as well

I recently called Recommended Plumbing for a job that required a great deal of flexibility. And he nailed it.
I left a message, he returned the call quickly. I needed to replace a water heater in a condo, and he asked all the right questions that made me confident that he knew what he was doing.
He quoted me a good price, and he was able to take credit card payment via email authorization.
There was a glitch with the payment at my end because it looked like it could have been fraud, but we were able to work it out quickly, and Eddie's team came through beautifully.
The job also required a bit of finesse, because they had to work around the schedule of a washer/dryer delivery. That's where the flexibility came in, the job was handled professionally, and my tenants were impressed. Recommended Plumbing made me look good, and I really appreciate that.
I would not hesitate to use them in the future, and he is now my go to guy for Plumbing.

John (#41-2429), the serviceman from Roto-Rooter showed up on the scheduled time to my home in Livingston, NJ on April 18, 2014. He was very attentive and detailed in doing his work. He was also very thorough in helping solve our plumbing issues which is crucial due to the the old age of our home.  He definitely displayed professionalism and I would highly recommend both Roto-Rooter of Jersey City and John.

3.5 stars. When you have a toilet clog problem, especially one not caused by you, it's not pleasant. It's a relatively pricey problem to have and I had a to wait a couple of hours, but Pedro arrived the day of the call and did what he was supposed to do. He seems like a decent guy. I called and he got the job done. I guess that's a very fair exchange. Keep them handy but always practice preventative measures.

Incredibly fast service - we called about a broken water heater at 8:30 AM and a team was here by 9:30. They were COVID and safety conscious and assessed the issue, gave me clear pricing options, and we had a new water heater installed by 3 PM. I have a newborn and a 2.5 yr old so we need hot water pretty much constantly. Russo Bros were prompt and professional, and I wouldn't call anyone else when I need a plumber.

I don't understand the low scores.  I found these guys courteous, responsive and honest.  My AC was down and they were on time and honest.  Only cost me the minimum charge.   Call them when you have an issue.

As the other reviewer mentioned, this company doesn't offer a free estimate. They charge a flat fee to stop by and assess what you need done then quote a price.

The only problem with this system is that they can quote you ANYTHING, and you're still on the hook for the service fee, no matter what. This is problematic, because they can quote you a very high, non competitive price, knowing you will not accept and then still pocket the fee.

In the end I didn't contract them for the job, so I can't comment on the work and I'm not saying this sort of thing will definitely happen, but I thought I'd point out the potential pitfalls to others. Caveat emptor.
