"Do NOT Work With ServiceChampion Unprofessional, Unreliable, Unresponsive I deeply regret choosing ServiceChampion for my HVAC installation. It has been a nightmare from start to finish. They installed a malfunctioning AC unit in October, and despite MONTHS of trying to resolve the issue, it still doesnt work. Heres a breakdown of their failures: Incompetent Installation: The system has been plagued with problems since day one thermostat malfunctions, the heat pump failing, and constant disconnections. Poor Communication: Ive made countless phone calls and emails, often receiving empty responses or no reply at all. The communication has been fragmented and disorganized. Unclear Solutions: Even when they identify a potential issue, they take forever to provide a solution. Technicians seem unsure, and Ive been given conflicting information. Lack of Accountability: Despite promises of a 100% satisfaction guarantee, theyve wasted my time, money, and caused immense stress especially with a new baby in the house. ServiceChampions negligence and lack of professionalism are appalling. They do not value their customers or stand behind their work. If you need reliable HVAC services, look elsewhere. I urge you to avoid ServiceChampion at all costs."

We are a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity, and treats your home as if it were our own. Our only priority is to provide the highest level of customer service. We know that plumbing emergencies are enough of a headache without dealing with an ornery customer service rep or repairman. We offer a warm voice, a courteous call, and a convenient process. We make your emergency a priority for us, scheduling service as quickly as possible to resolve your problem. Our plumbers are the same way—they treat your home with respect and consideration. We wipe our feet on our own mats, we wear shoe covers before entering your home, and we’ll offer you a fair assessment of your plumbing situation and how much it will cost to handle it. Our prices are flat-rate and upfront, so you don’t have to worry about inflating prices as the job goes on.

"Contacted Mr. Rooter on a Saturday and they quickly sent Dave and his assistant. Dave diagnosed the problem, provided a couple of solutions (after discussing each with me) and once we settled on a plan-of-attack, he got right to it. Dave was great! He fixed the problem, the cost was reasonable and they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Mr. Rooter. (P.S.- ask for Dave)."

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
