A Richmond-based plumbing company built on honest work, careful craftsmanship in historic homes, and long-term relationships with the homeowners and businesses we serve.
Our story
Richmond Plumbing Pros was founded in 2012 by a Virginia-licensed master plumber who grew up in Henrico County and spent his early career working in Richmond's historic neighborhoods. He started the company with one conviction: Richmond homeowners deserved a plumber who actually understood the city's unique housing stock — the old pipes, the clay sewers, the historic plaster — and could work with that reality rather than against it.
Over 14 years, we've grown from a two-person operation to a full team covering Richmond city, Henrico, Chesterfield, and the surrounding metro. We've completed over 1,600 jobs — from simple drain clears to complete repiping of century-old Fan District townhouses — and we've maintained a 4.9-star rating throughout.
We're locally owned and operated. No franchises, no subcontractors. Every plumber on our team is a trained, background-checked, full-time employee who meets our standards before working on a client's home.
Richmond has one of the most varied housing stocks of any mid-sized American city — Victorian row houses in the Fan, 1920s bungalows in Northside, post-war ranches in Henrico, and new construction in Short Pump, all within a 20-mile radius. Each requires a different approach.
The city's older neighborhoods — Fan District, Church Hill, Oregon Hill, Jackson Ward — present specific challenges: original clay sewer lines prone to root intrusion from Richmond's mature urban tree canopy, galvanized steel supply lines that have been corroding for 70+ years, and in some pre-1930 homes, lead service lines that need careful assessment. We've developed specific protocols for all of these.
Richmond's climate also matters: humid subtropical conditions mean external pipe corrosion is faster than in drier markets, and Virginia's unpredictable winter cold snaps — particularly the freeze-thaw cycles that happen several times each winter — put pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls at risk in ways that a purely cold climate doesn't.
Every job comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied with our work for any reason, contact us within 30 days and we'll return to make it right at no charge. Major repairs include written parts and labor warranties.
"We've been with Richmond Plumbing Pros for six years across two different properties. A historic townhouse in the Fan and a newer home in Short Pump — they handle both with the same professionalism. Wouldn't call anyone else."
