I heard a hissing sound coming from the basement late last night and discovered our hot water tank leaking from the bottom and hissing at the top. We turned off the water and gas to the unit, waited until morning since we slowed the leak and our sump pump was handling it. Proceeded to call HomeServe in the morning who stopped by quickly, spent 5 mins and said the hot water tank is shot (probably manufacturing defect) but they wouldn't work with our State Water Heater (the manufacturer of the hot water tank) and the tank was fairly new so it was still under the 6-year warranty. They recommended that I go to the State Water heater website and find a plumbing group that would work with their warranty. I called three different plumbers who were listed on the State Water Heater website. First guy yelled at me when he picked up the phone, "yeah what do you NEED, what do you WANT?" (and their group had the highest customer review ratings). Then when I tried to say who I was and why I was calling, he hung up on me! Second plumbing group never picked up, but the third group I called, Tornquist Plumbing & Heating were SO wonderful. I was greeted on the phone by a lovely person who asked all the right questions and had me text her a few pictures. She let me know that Mr. Tornquist was going to contact State Water Heater with my warranty information and get me a quote within 10-15 mins. He called me back in 10 mins, had a reasonable quote for me (including a breakdown of the costs for parts and labor) and let me know that his son and another employee were nearby in the neighborhood and could come by to get started within 15-20 mins. Within 20 mins they arrived and the next thing I know they are here hauling the old one away while Mr. Tornquist came by 30-45 mins later with the new State hot water tank! This team was fantastic, professional, trustworthy, transparent, and I have great respect for family owned/run businesses. Highly Recommend!
