# Plumbing Tree

_Company profile on San Diego Water Heater Guide — verified 2026-06-10._

Plumbing Tree publishes its license number on-site — CSLB-verified active — and its “Since 2013” claim matches the license issue date exactly, a clean record. It runs separate water heater repair, replacement, and tankless lines with same-day service and a claimed two-hour arrival window across a broad county service area, plus upfront/flat-rate pricing language and financing. The CSLB registered address (Bonita) differs from the San Diego presentation, with the entity name and number matching.
