We repair heating elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves, gas controls, and more. Our technicians carry common parts on their trucks to complete the job quickly, often during the initial service call.

I broke a water hose bib on the exterior of my home and needed a plumber right away, as I wasn’t sure which of the 4 water valves, in front of my house, was the water main. The plumber, Ezra arrived within 15-20 minutes of my call to 5 Star Plumbing. The plumber, Ezra was prompt and courteous. He explained the repairs to me prior to beginning and I received a written quote in advance of performing the repairs. I would highly recommend Ezra, in particular. & 5 Star Plumbing

My insurance policy required a smart shutoff valve to be installed. I contacted several companies who were able to quote me a price with little to no difficulty, but these guys were less $ And they demonstrated that they knew what I was asking for and needed to satisfy my insurance requirements beyond a shadow of doubt. All of this, and it was all completed before the end of the same day on which I started the process. Extremely satisfied and happy I went with them.

Excellent fast service. Called after waiting for another plumbing service for 2 days to come out to provide service. Spoke with Leo on the telephone who informed me a plumbing technician could be at my residence within an hour. Approx. 30-40 minutes later, Khalid came out and resolved our leaking shower matter quickly and efficiently! Will definitely use 5 Star Plumbing services again!

Eze from 5-Star Plumbing was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in making the needed repairs to our bathroom plumbing problem. He even was able to show me in pictures and video what was happening before his repairs. The fact that he was early was a bonus. I would highly recommend 5-Star Plumbing to everyone. Thanks again!

Very fast and reliable service! I had a small leak, which I couldn't locate. I called 5 Star Plumbing and they were able to get someone out within 24 hours. The tech, who was very helpful, was able to locate the leak, which turned out to be three new sprinkler control values, which I just had installed a few months ago. I will definitely use them the next time I have a plumbing issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tank vs. Tankless: Which Is Right for You?

Traditional Tank Water Heaters: Lower upfront cost Familiar technology Simple installation in most homes 40-50 gallon capacity typical for average households 8-12 year lifespan Ideal for homes with moderate hot water usage Tankless Water Heaters: Endless hot water supply Superior energy efficiency (up to 30% savings) Space-saving wall-mounted design 20+ year lifespan Higher initial investment Best for homes with high hot water demand or limited space We'll evaluate your household size, usage patterns, space constraints, and budget to recommend the best solution.

Gas vs. Electric Water Heaters

Gas Water Heaters: Faster recovery time (heats water quicker) Lower operating costs in most areas Works during power outages Requires proper venting Common in Sacramento homes Electric Water Heaters: Simpler installation No venting required Slightly higher energy efficiency ratings Higher operating costs depending on electricity rates Easier to install in tight spaces Your choice depends on your home's existing utilities, installation location, and long-term energy costs.

Maintaining Your Water Heater

Annual Flushing Draining your tank yearly removes sediment that reduces energy efficiency and shortens the unit's life. Pressure Relief Valve Testing Testing this safety valve annually ensures it functions properly in case of excess pressure buildup. Anode Rod Inspection This sacrificial rod protects your tank from corrosion. Replacing it when depleted can add years to your water heater's life. Temperature Setting Maintaining temperature around 120°F balances safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. Visual Inspections Regularly check for leaks, rust, or unusual sounds that indicate developing problems.
