"I have to say I was fully satisfied with the end result of the work done at my house. I was getting Qwest piping replaced throughout my entire townhouse with modern Pex piping. If you plan to live a bit more conscious free, I highly suggest it. The work done wasn't completely to my satisfaction and the project took much longer than expected due to various reasons. Most of the supervisors I worked with were very competent and solidly communicative with my frustrations, actually empathizing with the reality of the situation. The initial person who did the job was a great and super friendly guy but his helper was just not great and he had to continually fix his problems which made things run over. Months later when I got settled I expressed frustration to the management and A-1 met in the middle with I on a constructive solution. I am 100% happy with the results and plan to do a lot more business with them."

Our professional plumbers have over 35 years of experience. With a background like that, you can trust that we have the skills needed to get the job done right the first time. We strive to provide excellent customer service and top-quality workmanship. We're licensed, bonded, insured and ready to take on your job. Call us now at 804-749-0303 to schedule the plumbing services you need.

"Southern Plumbing of VA came two hours after the window quoted. The two plumbers were professional. They communicated the issue clearly but sought to overcharge me because it was emergency plumbing. There was a clog between the house and the street. They quoted me over $1800 to run a snake 50ft. I told them that was an outlandish price and he said he'd make a call. 30 seconds later he came back with $950. I'm not sure how he was able to drop the bill 50% that quickly if the original quote was accurate. It seemed like they were trying to take advantage of a bad situation. Even he made a comment "well you need your toilets". They arrived, did the work and had left in about 40 minutes."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Newport News, VA

Yes, flushing washes out the sediment that would otherwise coat heating elements and build up along the tank walls. Clearing that gunk keeps water heating evenly, lowers energy use, and helps the unit last longer. In short, a quick flush keeps your heater running at peak efficiency instead of fighting through layers of mineral sludge.

Plan on a full flush once a year. If you live with hard water—or hear rumbling inside the tank—step it up to twice yearly. Sticking to that schedule scrubs out sediment, keeps hot water flowing, and shields the heater from premature wear. Regular flushing also wards off surprise repair bills and helps the unit run more efficiently day-to-day.

Listen and look for clues: popping or banging sounds, cloudy or rusty water, lukewarm showers, moisture around the drain valve, or a sudden spike in energy bills. Any of these signals point to sediment hogging space inside the tank and choking heat transfer. A thorough flush clears the buildup, restores steady temperatures, and helps the heater run smoothly for years to come.
