Testimonials From Satisfied Customers

 

Dalton did a wonderful job on my gas plumbing job.
I have a well and horses and when the water goes out it’s such a catastrophe. Robinsons came on a Saturday in the middle of the polar vortex and I had water that day. I’ve used them for projects both very big (and unpleasant) and very small, and I appreciate their prompt professionalism more than a review can convey. Thank you to Steve, Derrick, and the entire team!
Even on the weekend Robinson's Plumbing is responsive and efficient. I chose an 8 - 10am window. Derick arrived at 8:30, checked out my Rinnai water heater and quickly fixed the problem.
Robinson plumbing was excellent. These guys went above and beyond to not open my floor due to my crawl space being very narrow and super complex. They worked together to find a way to get my water back on.! Professional, courtesy would recommend 1000%!
I cannot say enough good things about everyone here that I have dealt with. Dereck was great and is a valuable asset for this company. Professional, courteous, honest and there when I needed them. They will be my go-to for all my electrical needs. So glad I found them. Highly recommended!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Anthony! That storm did a number on your well pump, but we got it replaced quickly to get your water back on. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Excellent service!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Patricia! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Justin was great
Great work! I really appreciate it. Justin was awesome, too! I will absolutely recommend y’all to friends + family. Also, I will use your services again here shortly. Thanks again!
The technician came to my 4th floor condo to check my water heater. It was 18 years old on 01/03/2008. It needs a power vent for the 4th floor. The tech is certified in all aspects of plumbing. That is very important. He is coming Monday to install my new hot water heater. The price is very fair. I am glad I did my “homework” on this project.
After calling to let me know they were on the way to my home, two service men arrived on time, assessed the situation, and got right to work to identify and correct the problem with my double kitchen sink that had backed up during the time of the recent snow events in Chester. Given the weather conditions, I called the Dispatcher and said I didn't mind if they wanted to reschedule due to the weather, and forecasters were recommending not to get on the roads if you didn't have to. But they were on their way and arrived safely, immediately found the problem under the sink, flushed out the drains, making sure they were all cleared out, gathered their tools and were ready to be on their way to their next appointment!! The price was reasonable, their attention to detail was appreciated, and knowing what needed to be done (and done right!!) made a great nuisance of a problem an opper-tunity to thank those two gentlemen for a job well done!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Faye! The personal recommendation is the best advertising there is. When you tell people to call us, ask them to tell us that you referred them! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Justin did a great job with our water heater. He was professional, timely, and very helpful.
Pete took my call at 11.00p.m. on 2/19/26 - near midnight, and promised to send a plumber. As promised, Derick came the next day and fixed my toilet tank leak very quickly and professionally. I am quite pleased with this Company and would use them again. Thank you Derick and Pete.
I reached out to Robinson’s Plumbing to get someone out to take a look at my busted line that froze and ruptured. Justin was dispatched and came out the same day. They were able to provide me a more than fair quote to fix the line and replacement of the hot water heater that was damaged. He even went above and beyond in making sure my insurance company understood the situation with the hot water heater damage. As a homeowner and going through this difficult moment for the first time it was a relief to have someone like Justin there to help. Thank you again Justin and also Christina who I dealt with when contacting the office.
First class work and high quality people.
I’ll use you again the next time I have a need.
Thanks.
They were very helpful to explain all the options to fixing our problem. He was very professional in helping us find an affordable solution.
I am so happy I had Justin come in and do a full check of all the plumbing in the house. I have had water leaks and disasters in the past and I feel more secure knowing that everything is in good working order!

He worked quickly to fix our issue and thoroughly explained everything he was doing as well as measures we should take to avoid further issues down the road. Pricing was very reasonable for an emergency call out and repair. We will be telling all of our neighbors to keep Robinson’s on speed dial!

We called Robinson’s Plumbing to help us diagnose a leak. Turns out it was a leaky washer connection. Justin M was the technician who came out and fixed the leaky valve and installed a new washer box for us. He was just fantastic. He was extremely polite, friendly & professional. It was a great experience. Will definitely call Robinson’s for our future plumbing needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Liz! We often identify leaks that didn't have an obvious source, in your case it was the washer valves. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH FOR ME!!! I discovered my main water valve spraying water in my crawl space on 1/24, the day we were expecting a blizzard. You guys made a really stressful and scary situation, into a happy ending. Out of about 10 places I called, only you could get to me the day of to fix my problem. A new valve was installed in under 3 hours from the time I made the call. Thank you again!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Jason! We took care of as many customers as we could before the blizzard hit and we have amazing plumbers working here. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
