Technician was Justin- very courteous and knowledgeable. Did a thorough job- much appreciated!
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!
Great folks...from the initial call to Reese coming and taking care of us!!!! Highly recommend!!!
Reece came out on a Saturday evening for a leaking valve on our refrigerator. He was very friendly and fixed our problem in no time.
Great job overall. Very professional.
I am very satisfied with Derrick's customer service, related to the sump pump pipe repair. Courteous on-time service. Will be using their service for future plumbing needs.
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!
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.
Very professional and nice and efficient.
Over the last year we have had 3 plumbers out to correct an issue we had. Only Robinson's Plumbing continued to dig deeper to find the real problem instead of suggesting a quick fix. It took a couple of hours to identify and Tim our technician worked with someone at his office via phone calls and photographs until the issue was identified and it wasn't a very expensive repair. I have waited a week to post to ensure the problem has been corrected. I am pleased to say we haven't run out of hot water since then. Very professional company and will be my go to plumber.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your very kind review Karen! We are happy to hear our customers feel taken care of.
Derick did a great job. Very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and worked quickly. Job well done.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Tim! Professional service and jobs well done are great ways to describe what we do. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

Woke up by my son at 4am after he flushed the toilet and said there was a leak. Called at 7 after I was able to get the water to stop flowing in our hall bathroom. Phone call was returned promptly and was scheduled immediately. Reece was amazing and as able to get us up and running in no time. We truly appreciate them getting to us especially with the holiday right around the corner.

Micheal and Justin installed a new water heater for me yesterday and did an outstanding job. They were polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. I had questions before and after the installation and they took the time to answer all of them and also addressed a few concerns I had. They were really great to work with!

I had a very slow leak in the crawlspace that was not an emergency (yet). I was still able to get an appointment first thing the next morning. Derick called ahead and was right on time. He was very friendly and professional, jumped under the house and assessed the situation within minutes. Then he gave me a detailed description of what he was going to do, the cost involved, and answered all of my questions and concerns. Derrck fixed the problem, showed me the repair and the bad section of pipe her replaced, answered some more questions about future concerns I had, and was on his way in just over an hour after arrival. I will definitely be calling Robinson's Plumbing Services next time I need plumbing work that I can't handle myself!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the great review Mike! It is always best to correct the small problems before they become big problems with lots of damage. 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.
