Plumbers typically charge $50-$150 per hour, with most jobs ranging from $150-$500. Emergency services may cost more. Simple repairs like fixing a leaky faucet cost $100-$200, while major work like water heater installation runs $1,000-$3,000.

Yes, many plumbers offer 24/7 emergency services for urgent issues like burst pipes, major leaks, or sewage backups. Emergency rates are typically 1.5-2x regular rates. It's wise to have a trusted plumber's number before you need it.

Call a plumber for: burst pipes, no water, sewage backups, water heater issues, or anything involving main water lines. Simple fixes like replacing a faucet washer or unclogging a drain with a plunger can often be DIY projects.

Regular maintenance helps prevent emergencies: don't pour grease down drains, use drain screens, know where your main shutoff is, insulate pipes in winter, and have annual inspections. Address small leaks before they become big problems.

A standard water heater replacement takes 2-4 hours. If modifications are needed (different size, location, or type), it may take a full day. Tankless water heater installations typically take 4-8 hours due to additional requirements.

Consider replacement if your water heater is over 10-12 years old, needs frequent repairs, or shows signs of corrosion or leaking. Minor issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element can often be repaired cost-effectively.
