FAQs

How do I know if I need water heater repair or replacement?

If the system is newer and the issue is minor, repair is usually enough. Older units with leaks or repeated failures often require replacement.

How long does a water heater last in San Bernardino?

Most tank systems last 8–12 years, though hard water can shorten lifespan without regular maintenance.

Do I need a permit for water heater replacement?

Yes. California plumbing code requires permits for most replacements to ensure safety and compliance.

Why is my water heater making noise?

Popping or rumbling sounds are usually caused by sediment buildup inside the tank.

Can a leaking water heater be repaired?

Small leaks from valves or fittings may be repairable, but tank leaks usually require full replacement.

Do you install tankless water heaters?

Yes, we install and service tankless systems designed for energy efficiency and continuous hot water.

What temperature should my water heater be set to?

Most homes use 120°F for safe and efficient operation, as recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

As a new homeowner, I've been looking for reliable home service professionals I can trust and build relationships with throughout my homeownership. Whether it's plumbing, HVAC, electrical, handyman services, or appliance maintenance. Finding companies you feel comfortable calling when something goes wrong is really important to me. David from Showtime Family Plumbing was informative, thorough, and friendly. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel comfortable with the service we received. We also inquired about a water softener and he took the time to explain and answer all our questions. We had a great experience and, most importantly, feel like we've found a plumbing company we can trust and rely on in the future. Thank you, David, for the excellent service! We'll definitely be calling Showtime Family Plumbing again when we need plumbing work.

I reached out to Showtime Family Plumbing after we discovered our kitchen faucet was leaking and creating water damage in our undercabinet area. They were able to give me a range over the phone and then were able to come out next day to do a formal inspection and also install a faucet that we had purchased. The installation was quick, friendly and reasonably priced. I highly recommend giving them a call. They also have a real person answer your questions and address your concerns instead of an AI bot. My family plans to use them for all of our plumbing issues in the future. Thank you Justin for everything you did to fix our problem quickly and effectively and with the utmost professionalism!

My kitchen sink had a clog, they had their techs to my house within 2 hours of our phone call. Service from Dave and Sam was very professional and hospitable. They ran the snake and provided a camera view of what the kitchen line looked like afterwards. I would recommend these professionals to anyone.

Highly recommend Showtime Family Plumbing! David and Darren came out to my business to check for a possible leak, and they were awesome. Very professional, honest, and knowledgeable. They inspected everything and explained that there was no sign of an actual leak and that it looked more like moisture. They could have used the special leak-detection equipment and charged me, but they were honest and told me it wasn't necessary. They didn't charge me anything for coming out and checking everything. I also shopped around before calling them, and they had the best pricing compared to everyone else I contacted. Great service, fair pricing, honest people, and they really know what they're doing. I definitely recommend Showtime Family Plumbing for any plumbing work.

Awesome company. I called this morning to have someone take a look at my tankless water heater. Mike was here within an hour and a half, gave a very reasonable estimate to replace my old system and was able to start working on it immediately. Mike and Sam are the best! They were polite, professional, completed the job in a timely fashion and then did a great job of cleaning up. I totally recommend this company for anyone who needs plumbing services.

I gave a service call to Showtime Family Plumbing after I DIY'd a fill valve and shut off valve replacement. My efforts came to a stop when faced with a stuck compression sleeve and no sleeve puller on hand. I was in a mood. Mr Contreras arrived same day within twenty minutes of the call. He made a quick assessment and stated ninety percent of the work was already done. He casually removed the stuck fitting, and stated 'Don't worry, no charge'. David refused even a nominal fee for his time. Considering what it costs to run a business, this simple act of kindness is well appreciated. Thank you David and to Showtime Family Plumbing.

I had a very last minute plumbing emergency and called Showtime at around 3pm in the afternoon. Mike and Sam came out a few hours later and quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. Sam was extremely patient with me and answered my (many) questions. I'm very impressed by Sam's professionalism, knowledge, and kindness. I would HIGHLY recommend you give Showtime Family Plumbing a call for any of your plumbing needs.

I had an outstanding experience with Showtime Family Plumbing and Rooter in Ontario. They replaced my old tankless water heater with a brand-new upgraded tankless system, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and extremely thorough. They took the time to explain the different options, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood the new system before they left. The installation was clean and professional, and you can tell they take a lot of pride in the quality of their work. It's refreshing to deal with a company that is honest, dependable, and focused on doing the job right rather than simply rushing through it. Everything was left clean and organized, and my new tankless water heater is working perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Showtime Family Plumbing and Rooter to anyone in the Ontario area who needs plumbing or water-heater work. They've earned my business for any future plumbing needs. Five stars all the way!

Amazing experience with Sam. This is a family own company and it shows. From beginning to end everybody was extremely friendly. They were punctual and arrived as scheduled. They were not pushy or trying to upsell anything. It felt as if you were talking to a friend about an issue and they were giving you honest advice. They were also very affordable. I would definitely use them again for my plumbing needs.

David and Justin.showed up to help with a washer dryer install. There seemed to be a miscommunication in pricing but they honored the pricing anyway. I was also double booked that day and also missing some parts so the Showtime team gave me enough time to handle business and get the extra part down the street. Awesome job guys!

I just had Showtime Family Plumbing come out to fix a leak and that was coming up from the floor in our family room. I feared it was another slab leak, but when Sam and Mike showed up, then found a leak coming from my water line in the wall of my refrigerator . They were very polite and professional, and didn't waste any time fixing it. They also changed out my water pressure regulator as we had too much pressure coming in, and thus the problem was solved. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to this company for their plumbing needs. They are very fairly priced also. Needless to say, I am very happy I found this company.

We submitted a project request for a leak...Mike responded quickly to schedule us first thing in the morning. He showed up promptly, taught us a thing or two but we found out the leak is pool related. We now have our future plumber for any needs that come our way!!! Thanks, Mike!! Highly recommended!!!

We had an excellent experience with Showtime Family Plumbing & Rooter Inc. ! They came out the same day we called, we had called around late afternoon. They gave us a timeframe of when they would arrive once they arrived, they quickly identified the problem, and returned the very next day to complete the repair. This was not a small repair, it was very complicated.Throughout the entire process, they were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous.

They made us feel confident that our plumbing issue was their priority, and they took great care of us from start to finish. We truly appreciated their prompt response, clear communication, and quality workmanship.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy plumber. Thank you for the outstanding service!

As someone who likes being diligent and thorough on finding someone affordable, reliable, and customer friendly, Showtime Family Plumbing met that standard. David was personable, calm, and honest. They were quick with the estimate, one of the few companies that responded with what time they can come out, and finished the job within 2-3 days of us reaching out and deciding. They were fairest price of several other companies we received quotes from and were professional, communicative, and detailed. I am very satisfied with the work and will highly recommend them again.

I had Showtime Family Plumbing repair a water leak underneath my driveway and install a salt-based whole-house water filtration system. From the initial inspection to the completion of the project, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.

Sam and David were beyond excellent. They were knowledgeable, honest, and took the time to explain the work and answer all of my questions. It was clear that they genuinely cared about doing the job right and making sure I was satisfied with the results.

The pricing was fair and reasonable, and the quality of workmanship exceeded my expectations. It’s not easy to find contractors who are both highly skilled and customer-focused, but Sam and David delivered on both.

I highly recommend Showtime Family Plumbing to anyone looking for trustworthy, professional plumbing services. Thank you, Sam and David, for the outstanding work!

Mike, Sam, David and the team did great work on my home. Practically a repipe underneath the home replacing drain lines, sewer, water main, etc. I also did a whole home water filtration and softener system.

They checked everything I asked in detail, isolated all issues, pointed out bad work from the previous owner(s), and made suggestions on what was the best way to approach repairs. At no point did I feel obligated to accept any work. They provided options and pointed out the necessary items while separating the optional. Each and every one on the team were open to my questions at all times and made sure to answer them in a way I would understand. Very patient and respectful bunch.

Great detailed work with much attention to detail. Very clean work with detailed invoices, before and after photos, and payment options.

Would absolutely work with again and recommend. Best plumbers I have worked with and seen in a long time.

Sam and Team did a great job again.

There was a leak from the tub spout on the bottom floor bathroom which is the one that everyone uses in the house to shower. The original valve was corroded and worn out after 23 years of use and probably high water pressure. Sam did a great job replacing it with a brand new Moen valve and chrome finished round plate. No more leaking and good for another 20+ years of use. The added bonus was that Sam didn’t need to cut any drywall as he and his team was able to access and remove from the tub directly.

The quote was very fair and the quality of the work always exceptional.

Would definitely recommend Sam and team for their honesty, problem solving, fair estimate, and quality of work.

See the problem photos and finished work below.

Thanks Sam!
