Expert Water Heater Installation in Philadelphia, PA

Water heater installation in Philadelphia requires more than swapping out a tank. Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning handles the full job: assessing your existing setup, removing the old unit, and installing the new one with proper connections to your gas or electrical service. Philadelphia's rowhouse stock presents real access challenges. Many units sit in tight basement utility corners, and older homes often need venting checks before a new unit can go in safely. Our plumbers work through those constraints without cutting corners. We serve homeowners and property owners across Philadelphia who need a reliable hot water supply restored. Every installation follows the Philadelphia Plumbing Code, including correct pressure and temperature relief valve placement and thermal expansion control where required. When you call us, we assess the space first, then install the right unit for your home's layout and fuel source. Call Drain State Plumbing & Drain Cleaning to schedule your water heater installation in Philadelphia today.

In these days I appreciate a company that answers the phone and communicates when they're running behind schedule for an appt. George came out, assessed what needed to be done, reasonable price agreed upon, and returned same day with his team to repair two gas fuel line leaks. They put in the extra time to get it done properly, so my gas could be turned back on by PGW. Continued blessings. Thank you

This is the 2nd time i've hired them and I couldn't be happier. Both times for major issues. They are polite, respectful and do a wonderful job. I couldn't be happier. I will continue to hire them for all my plumbing issues.

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ George and his partner were amazing. I'm a realtor and needed a plumber asap in Roxborough and the George was awesome and came out the following day. What was great about their service was that he was able to pin point what the issue was as soon as told him the area of leaking. His partner went upstairs as we went thru the basement to check the drain. They were able to identify the leak upstairs without opening up the ceiling and having another plumber say they had fixed the leak. They knew exactly what they were doing and truthfully very impressed with the attention to detail. I've been in the business for 7 years and haven't had a go to plumber, that will change today. I will be calling George! Thank you!!

Drain State was very professional and fast. Over the weekend my water heater broke and was leaking. I called Monday evening and they were able to replace my water heater that night.
