Client reviews
Real feedback from clients across Richmond city and the surrounding metro.
"Tree roots had completely blocked our main sewer line — three different companies had cleared it temporarily, but Richmond Plumbing Pros actually fixed the root problem. Haven't had an issue in two years."
"Replaced all the old galvanized pipes in our Northside bungalow. They were in and out in two days, water pressure went from terrible to excellent, and not a single thing was damaged. Worth every dollar."
"I manage rentals in Henrico and Chesterfield. These are the only plumbers I call — reliable, fairly priced, and tenants never complain about the quality of their work. They respond fast, which matters in property management."
"Hidden leak behind a wall in our Midlothian home — they found it in 40 minutes with their detection equipment. Repaired cleanly, no unnecessary drywall removed. Very impressed."
"Annual maintenance visit — caught a hairline crack in a fitting that would've been a major leak in a few months. That $99 inspection saved me a lot of money and stress. Will book every year."
"Six years of service on our historic Museum District home. They understand old houses — careful with the plaster, honest about what needs fixing now vs. later, and always professional. Wouldn't use anyone else."

Many Richmond neighborhoods — particularly Fan District, Church Hill, Northside, and Jackson Ward — still have original clay sewer lines from the early 1900s. These are prone to tree root intrusion (Richmond's urban tree canopy is extensive), joint separation, and in some cases total collapse. If you have recurring drain issues in an older home, a camera inspection can confirm whether the clay line needs to be replaced or lined.
