Justin, was polite and he worked his butt off replacing my old leaking brass drainage for the 2nd floor bathrooms. I would highly recommend Robinson plumbing. Service crews were awesome, office staff were excellent. They didn't price gouge. I feel I got a good price for excellent service.

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.
