Just wanted to give a shout out to State 48 Plumbing. Had a plumbing issue and reached out to Zack late yesterday. He scheduled a time to come out this morning. He was prompt, polite, and explained what was wrong to me in detail before he fixed the problem. Wouldnt hesitate to use them again in the future!!

Zack came out to install a pressure reduction valve that another company said I needed. Zack checked the psi at an outside faucet and the pressure was not as high as the first plumbers test. State 48 was half of the price of the other plumbers estimate. Zack said I didnt need the valve installed. Did not charge anything for coming out. Would highly recommend Zack for any plumbing job. Thanks Zack for your honesty!!

Zack came out the next day and installed a new sink strainer in my kitchen sink. He was on-time, texted 25 min before his arrival and charged a very reasonable price. Will definitely call him for any future plumbing needs

Zack and Logan were great. Fast. Timely. Very knowledgeable. Replaced our failing hot water heater with a new, more reliable Ruud brand. Fair pricing. No surprises or gimmicks. Even fixed a stuck and calcified water faucet out back for free. Honest dudes. Would highly recommend State 48 Plumbing if you're in the East Valley.

State 48 Plumbing was effortless to work with from start to finish. Zach was responsive, knowledgable, professional, and very kind. He was able to quickly come to our home to assess the need and gave us such thorough and thoughtful information so we could make an informed decision. He answered so many questions and took his time. No sales pressure. We proceeded to schedule after our consultation, which was easy and seamless. Clear and consistent communication. Arrived as scheduled, completed the job (replacing water softener system), and kindly walked both of us through the new system and how to

We had whistling with our main water pressure valve, Zach was honest, attentive, knowledgable, nice and helpful. Showed up on time, was able to fix our issue. He could have tried to charge us for work that didnt need to be done or sell extra parts but was up front and honest making us feel we were able to trust in him, the team and company. We are definitely keeping his contact info for future needs.
