Gary Robinson started Robinson's Plumbing Service in 2006, because he saw a better way to provide what other plumbing companies seemed to be missing, for both the customers and the plumbing technicians.
Whether that meant training his background-checked technicians on better plumbing techniques, leading the way in green and energy-saving initiatives, or coming up with creative programs that save repeat customers money and time, Robinson's Plumbing Service is filling in the gaps between customer service and quality plumbing work.Today, with over 25 years of plumbing experience to his credit, Gary still works in the field and oversees his tight-knit team of plumbing technicians and helpers.

Report
If you notice your sinks and tubs drain slowly, toilets backup and sewage appears in the sink or tub, you probably have a sewer line blockage. The main causes of sewer drain clogs are root infiltration, structural damage or a build-up of solid material (cooking grease, hair, disposable diapers, toys, baby wipes and feminine products).
Emergency
Report
If you get home and you have a floor full of water, then it's pretty obvious that you need to get a plumber to the house fast. But, it's not always as straightforward as flooded floor or a spewing pipe. Here are some other reasons that you should probably get an experienced plumber to your house as soon as possible:

What a pleasant and successful service experience. Ryan Frederick came to my home and after a bit of discussion he diagnosed and fixed my plumbing issues. He was a careful listener, very friendly and gave me confidence in his abilities. I will be letting my family and friends know that I have found him!

I called Robinson Plumbing Service on Sunday with a water heater problem. They schedule service for Monday morning and arrived at the prescribed time period. The technician was Ryan Frederick. He introduced himself, immediately asked me to describe the problem, when it occurred, inspected both water heaters, discussed and showed me the problem, and then provided a series of options.
The issue was more complex than usual given there is a booster hot water heater and that was the problem. He fixed the problem and then provided both short and long-term solutions, with estimates. Excellent work overall and should we choose to update our hot water system, we will use Robinson Plumbing for the work. We would also request that Ryan Frederick do the work if appropriate.

We called Robinsons to install a faucet and connect a sink in our half bathroom. Incredibly, they came out the same day. The plumber arrived on time, put on shoe covers, and estimated 2 hours of labor. The plumber encountered several issues during the installation. He had to go out to his van several times. He did not take off his shoe covers and soiled our brand new floors as a result.
At one point, he forgot to connect one of the hoses and water sprayed all over our bathroom. He asked us to provide rags and paper towels. He left the job with puddles of water underneath our vanity. The sealing work the plumber did was disappointing. You can see gaps in the counter top and spots where he smeared the sealant onto the wall. We spent an hour afterward cleaning our floors, wiping up water, and trying to get the clear caulk off the wall. While we appreciated the responsiveness, I would not recommend Robinson's based on this interaction.

The technician that came out, Ryan Frederick, was professional and very courteous. He explained what needed to be done and took the time to answer all of my questions. This is my first experience with Robinson's and I have to say that I'm very much impressed with the customer service and the quality of the work performed. So I would highly recommend them to anyone needing plumbing repairs or plumbing work to be done. CB

It was my first time using this company after hearing their advertisement on the radio. The Plumber that came out a young man by the name of Jay was very friendly and professional. He represents his company really well. He took care of the technical issues on the pipes that needed to be fixed. And took his time giving me advice on several other projects we have lined up.
You can tell he really enjoys his job. The office lady was friendly and professional as well. And I got an appointment in no time. I would highly recommend them. And they get the TopFlight seal of approval.

We had a supply line burst due to a rust issue, leaving us without hot water. Robinson's came highly recommended and was able to come out the next morning. Ryan was professional, on time, and took time to explain my options to me. He kept me up to date on his progress and cleaned up after the repair was completed. Ryan went above and beyond by making sure that the rest of the my plumbing was not at risk for the same issue due to galvanized pipes. They did so great, I referred them to my parents (who are super picky)!

Ryan F and Ted were here today to repair pipes and valves under the kitchen sink and give us a quote on replaces our water main. They were quick, polite, thorough, and helpful!

Our external water line was 40 yrs old, leaking and ~400ft to the house. Bruce scoped our project and then he and Josh and their team completed the work in ONE day! Including some unexpected twists and turns in the original line. They are exceptionally committed to excellent work and are true "professionals"! I can't express our appreciation enough for their hard work and exemplary service.
I will recommend Robinson's Plumbing Service to everyone we know and will surely call them for any other plumbing need. Thank you so very much, Bruce and Josh! And thank you, Robinson Plumbing Service

Ryan Frederick, a technician with Robinson Plumbing, was here today to repair an issue with an outdoor faucet. He was professional, thorough, and friendly. He did a great job exploring the options to fix the issue and presented the choices for me to decide. Work was completed and tested in a timely manner. Service:Faucet repair

Robinson's came out the same day I called on a weekend to assess the issue with our tankless water heater. It ended up needing replaced and they had the part and returned that following Monday to complete the install. Throughout the process, Bruce M. and Josh M. were fantastic. They were both very professional, polite and efficient. We were very pleased with the service we received and are now using Robinson's for all of our plumbing needs now and in the future. I would recommend them to anyone! Great company with fantastic and knowledgeable staff!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Robinson's. They got me an appointment quickly, everyone I spoke with in the office was friendly, and our technician (Ryan) was the best. He was thorough, honest, and considerate. I'd recommend them without a second thought. Service:Leak investigation and repair

I had water leak under kitchen facet which I could not determine where leak was originating from and it was a considerable amount of water. It was 3pm and they were able to send Aragon within an hour. He was able to determine the cause and fortunately it was not a huge issue as I thought thinking it was in the wall. He quickly fixed it and reassured me.
I wasn't charged the after hours charge. He explained the cause of the leak, was knowledgeable and advised me of the new technology that they offer that can detect and alert you of water leaks. I was very impressed and am going to have the technology installed so that I can avoid any future water leak from causing water damage. I have been using Robinson for over a year now and I can always count on them when I have a plumbing problem. Thanks to Aragon today my issue was resolved within an hour. Highly recommend!

This was the best experience I have ever had with a plumber and plumbing company. Bruce Martin was so professional, friendly and provided detailed informative on my job and what the company offers. He fixed my delta faucet and it works perfectly! From my initial online request to the finished job has been nothing short of perfection! I cannot recommend Robinson's Plumbing and Bruce Martin enough.

From the first call I received in the morning after putting in a website request, this company impressed me. Christina was so helpful and friendly, let me ask all sorts of questions. They were the only company to call me back amongst the 3 or 4 I pinged. The technician, Aragon, was amazing! He was super friendly, sang while he worked, and explained everything really well.
This was all after hours at night when I am sure he had lots of other things he wanted to be doing. He also referred us to someone to help clean up our crawl space. We've found our new plumbing company for life!

POLITE. PROFESSIONAL and PERSONABLE. I called on a Monday afternoon needing to have our water tank serviced as the hot water was giving us fits. From the young lady who scheduled my service call (I wished I could remember her name because she was incredible!) to the young man Ryan Frederick who came out to our house the following Tuesday morning the whole experience from Robinson's Plumbing was top notch. Ryan was straight forward with me about his suggestions for repair and based on his recommendation (tank was ten years old) I opted to have it replaced.
I met him about 9am and when I got back home about 1pm he had already installed the new tank. He was exceptionally pleasant which made paying the bill (which was ridiculously affordable) easier to do! The two representatives from Robinson's have made us loyal customers and I will definitely refer anyone who needs plumbing work to this organization. The 5 star rating is well deserved and earned. Now if you all will excuse me I'm going to go enjoy a long HOT shower hahaha! Thanks again!

I recently experienced a plumbing emergency following last Thursday's storm at our Mechanicsville home with a puncture of our main water feed from the street to the house. Rodney from Robinson Plumbing was able to quickly diagnosis the issue, contact Ms. Utility for a 3-hour emergency call, quote us a price and come out the next morning with his helper to repair the damage.

The tech. that came to my house was very professional and nice. He explained the problem to me and made sure I was comfortable with what he was doing at all times. The initial phone call from the company was just as pleasant. The office dispatch person was polite and very empathetic with my issue at the time of contact.

I was recommended to call Robinson's by my neighbor who used them a few months ago in an emergency situation. Well, they sure lived up to the glowing reviews my neighbor gave them! From the time I called to make an appointment, to the actual service call, I have never dealt with such professional and friendly people in my life!
