Excellent and meticulous work
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Luis! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
I was extremely happy with their service. I had an overnight emergency on the weekend and they were at my house first thing in the morning. They charged me a lot less for the service than most places, were friendly, and were able to fix the problem.
We want to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding manner in which Tim performed his plumbing work yesterday. We had two complex plumbing situations involving gas and water which caused us considerable distress. Tim was exactly what we needed. He arrived, did an assessment, gave us an estimated cost, mentioned that he had all the necessary repair parts in his truck. He laid protective floor covering in the work areas and went to work.Imagine our sigh of relief when we heard Tim say, "Well, that's it. Let me show you what I did."The entire procedure was exceptional. Your people obviously take the quality issue seriously. Please pass our comments and appreciation on to Tim. We take special comfort in knowing that we have Robinson's Plumbing Service as "our plumber".Paul & Carol

I had a water treatment system that had to be installed and I am very grateful that I got Robinson’s Plumbing. The technicians Tim and Mason, let me know that they didn’t have all the parts the first day as shipments were delayed for the holidays and proceeded to complete outstanding work. They then promptly set up another date to return and finished the job. They even fixed a pipe on my house they weren’t scheduled to fix! I can’t say thank you enough. Great job guys!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Blanca! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
I hardly ever take the time to leave reviews, but the service we received from Robinson's was just incredible, so I felt moved to do so. First of all, we had to call on the morning of January 1st. Jamie was at our house by 9AM - he was polite and friendly, despite the fact that he probably didn't want to be working on a holiday. (You would never have known that by how he interacted with us). He took his time trying to find every possible solution that didn't include replacing the entire water heater. This made me feel confident that when ultimately that was his recommendation, I could trust he had tried everything else. This isn't our first time working with Robinson's and it certainly won't be our last. Big thanks to Jamie for all that he did on a holiday!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Loftan! Needing emergency service for your water heater can always be stressful, especially on a holiday! That's why we have emergency services available and unlike most companies, we actually answer the emergency phone when it rings. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Very prompt and professional service. Have used them for many years. I would not recommend anybody but Robinson’s plumbing service. William Arnold.I will always recommend Robinsons Plumbing service for all needs. Thank you for your business. Sincerely, William Arnold.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review William! Personal Recommendations are the best kind of praise. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Quick, unobtrusive, friendly.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Curtis! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Very professional and nice and efficient.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Linda! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

Water Heater Repair FAQs

We often hear people ask similar questions about water heater repair in VA. Here are a few of the more frequently asked ones:

Q: My water heater leaks—am I in danger?

A: There are a few things that could cause a water heater leak. An explosion could occur if your temperature and pressure valve (T&P) doesn’t turn off when the pressure or temperature is too high.

Sediment buildup (that can lead to corrosion) can also cause a leak in your water heater. The best way to know for sure is to call the experts from Robinson’s Plumbing to diagnose the problem.

Q: What color should my water heater burner flame be?

A: The flame of your water heater burner should be blue with yellow tips. If the overall color appears to be more orange-yellow, this could be a sign of poor burning. It can also negatively impact water heater performance and potentially produce deadly carbon monoxide.

Q: What caused my water heater to stop working?

A: Age and sediment buildup are two of the most common things that cause water heaters to stop working. Minerals such as magnesium and calcium start to collect in the burner and on the sides of the water tank. Over time, they form a barrier that causes burner performance issues.
