What customers said about water heater repair
Leaky drain pipe from my kitchen sink and dishwasher Cesario came out and gave me multiple options. Matt and Mike then came and did the work! As always, the Brisc plumbers worked hard while they are here… and were conscientious of me in the home. After work completed Matt did a great job explaining all they did and the “ why”! Love that!
Rick was excellent. He knew what was wrong and fixed it so it was correct. I highly recommend this company and Rick.
Jensen’s is the first place we call for any heating or plumbing questions and problems. We used them several times over the years and they have never disappointed! Very knowledgeable employees! Great guys! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
My first call to secure service was received with professional and pleasant customer service and a timely appointment. My repair was done by Robert and his assistant. This was met with exceptional service. They were prompt, communicative, and efficient in the quick repair of my water heater. I highly recommend Brisc…
We had a new water heater installed last year. Today, on a Sunday, we had no hot water. We developed a leak in a pipe. I was able to have a technician service the leak and get the heater working again and everything is covered under warranty. Every time I’ve had technicians over for repairs they have always been great.
