Had a leaky 13 year old hot water heater. Went to Home Depot, and thought they were a little too expensive for a Rheem installed. Contacted Titan, and saved over $200.00 for a better-quality hot water heater. My technician, John, was simply awesome! Removed the old unit, and installed the new unit in a couple hours! Left my basement cleaner than when he arrived! Got it all done THE SAME DAY I called them! I highly recommend Titan Plumbing & drain Services!
