I highly recommend Robinson Plumbing for your plumbing needs. Michael and Jamie did a fantastic job installing my new hot water heater! They were on time, fixed a pipes as well as install the hot water, and made sure I understood what all the new knobs are for. I will definitely use them again!
Had a hot water heater emergency and while many could not see us for days… Robinson’s said give us an hour. Rece was professional and explained what he would be doing. We had a couple issues along the way and after talking with the manager we mutually found a resolution. All is well that ends well. I would recommend Robinson Plumbing to anyone. Thank you.

Your service was thoroughly polite, professional and timely. I had a late Saturday night emergency. The gentleman who took my call was courteous and efficient. Reece the plumber was terrific. Well-mannered, well-dressed in khakis and his polo shirt with work logo, professional AND pleasant, and completed the job quickly. I could hear him testing his work to ensure that the job was done properly before he left. He even wanted to know if he could do anything else for me, at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night!
Quick and great service. Reese was very friendly and kind!

Michael was on time for our service appointment. When he arrived, he listened carefully to the history of problems with our tankless hot water heater and assessed the situation. I had a previous bad experience with a plumbing service who did not fix the problem and then refused to come back out to do so without charging an additional $500! Michael and I discussed options and he made a recommendation in line with what I also thought would be best. I appreciated his honesty and knowledge. Robinson's prices for the labor, repair and service call were also less than the previous service I used. I highly recommend Robinson's Plumbing and technician Michael based on my service today.

Did a great job. On time, quick, friendly, professional and thorough.Installed new valves and faucet. Made sure everything worked to my satisfaction before leaving.Inspected pipes and found things our home inspector missed.
Our well pump shut down at 7pm with no water. Our technician was great and was here by 8pm. He ensured we had water before he left. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Robinson Plumbing. J. Lancaster

I had a very positive experience when I called Robinson’s Plumbing Service today. Reece came and was able to identify the issues I was having with a leaking shower head and was able to provide help by fixing a hardware issue as well as calibrating the valve handle to prevent future issues. The cost were very reasonable and an overall great value.

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.
