Our technician Derick was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I appreciate that his first course of action was to try to clean the corrosion off of the existing part first rather than simply replacing it, which would have been much easier. The process and cost was explained upfront, and the work was completed in a timely fashion. Very pleased. It wasn't a cheap repair and currently there is a fee for using a credit card - but worth it to get the water heater back up and running.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Vincent! We offer options and explain our recommendations so our customers can make informed decisions. 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.
