Water Heater Repair
We diagnose and repair gas, electric, and propane water heaters with precision. Our technicians address leaks, faulty elements, and pressure valve issues while offering anode rod replacement to extend tank life. For units over 10 years old, we recommend replacement to ensure efficiency and prevent unexpected failures in Tucson's climate.
Drain Cleaning
Using advanced root cutting machines and eco-friendly treatments like Bio-Line enzymes, we clear clogged drains and sewer lines efficiently. Our 3/8" cables handle household drains while 7/8"-1 1/4" cables tackle main sewer lines, with RootX treatments available to prevent future root intrusion in Tucson's desert environment.

I have used this company for years and have previously gave 4 star reviews. However, now with an emergency main water line leak, they tried to rip me off with a $10,000 repair estimate for what other plumbers charged $3500. In addition, their bid was just a number, no details, no warranty, and no explanations, . Disreputable to an old customer.

I received 3 quotes to install a new water heater. The quotes were comparable but I chose Arico because the gentleman providing us our quote gave us a great explanation of the services we were looking for. The Arico Technician, Angel, arrived promptly and advised the steps he was taking to remove our 12 year old water heater and install our new one. Then he provided a detail info on the water heater itself. Everyone was very professional from the time I first called through the installation.

Jeffrey arrived a little after 1000 hrs and finished by 1030 replacing a hose bib on our back patio. He then sat in his truck for 15 min with engine running I assume writing up the bill. At 1045, he called in my credit card for a FULL HOUR job listed as 1000 to 1100. Questions I asked him about the job and the parts were answered if at all curtly and perfunctorily. Like "where was this new valve made?" "I dunno." It matters to me. I feel the extra time charge for the second half hour was unreasonable and fraudulent.

Critical: Quality Set up an appointment to have someone look at my hot water heater. Never mentioned anything about a 40 dollar fee. Had several others look for free. Since they were not transparent enough to inform me and just hand me a bill I chose not to use their services. 8 other providers estimated for free. Should have been upfront.

We have been customers of Arico and have never been disappointed with their quality of work and service. For our most recent call our technician John showed up on time and was personable and professional and made sure not to leave a mess behind when the job was done. My Joe Homeowner attempt at plumbing that had gone sideways was quickly resolved and he gave me the names of a couple places in town that I could try for the hard to find parts for our 40 year old faucets.
He even took the time to give me some pointers on how to finish up another project that is going to save me time and avoid some aggravation. I highly recommend Arico in general and John in particular.
