"PMK Plumbing was very responsive to my questions and easy to work with. Their crew was polite to myself and my family. The installation of our new water heater and removal of the old unit was performed efficiently with no mess. They walked me through the installation at each step and provided information on go forward maintenance of my new gas water heater. I am very please with this company."

"I have an out of state property and my tenants informed me that the A/C was not working. The technician Christopher went out to my property and made the necessary repairs. Christopher was professional, and he sent me pictures detailing the work that he was performing. Short Pump Heating and Air did a good job."

"Exceptional customer service and workmanship. Dave texted me to let me know in advance to let me know he was running late (on a Saturday afternoon). As for replacing the faucet, he disassembled the old and cleaned the drain/stopper pipe, and replaced within an hour."

"The service call went exactly as planned.  Scotty arrived on time with everything he needed to perform the service requested. Not sure if you care about this or not, but it was very important to me.  He is an extremely nice young man with manners and a healthy respect for others.  His parents trained him well!
The reason I purchased the offer was my fear of a possible electrical fire. My bathroom exhaust fan/light would work sporadically as would my electrical outlet on the screened porch. Scotty located the problem within 5 minutes.  I asked him about the outlet on the outside porch as it was prone to getting wet.  He advised of a much better outlet and also suggested I think about changing the type of light bulbs I used inside the house.
There was one light in my upstairs bath (1 out of 6) that did not work. I had tried 2 different types of bulbs to no avail. Scotty resolved the problem.
On the side of my kitchen island there is an elecrical outlet and the faceplate was very loose.  Turns out the actual sockett was split in half.  Before he left, it was fixed.
Scotty made a trip to Home Depot to pick up the supplies he needed and also, at my request, picked up 3 boxes of LED light bulbs.  He didn't have to, but he replaced all 6 bulbs in the upstairs bath. Huge difference in lighting.  As my other bulbs burn out, they will be replaced with the LED's.
I will definitely keep his phone number as he is now my "GO TO" person for any electrial questions or problems.  I highly recommend this company and would be glad to offer any further comments to anyone looking for an excellent electrician.  I doubt you could find a better one.

"Absolutely outstanding!  I will recommend 3-D ROGER ROOTER PLUMBING, LLC to anyone who has a routine or emergency plumbing need.  They were responsive, courteous, and effective in taking care of my plumbing needs.
I was referred to them through my home warranty.  They responded the next day and fit me in at the end of their workday even though it was across town and well after their scheduled appointments in my area.  Their receptionist was truly professional and helpful in keeping me posted on the whereabouts of their team so that I didn't have to wait around at my home.  Moreover, when the crew arrived at my home, they quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired my toilet in less than 15 minutes from the moment they entered my home.  
3-D ROGER ROOTER PLUMBING, LLC is definitely a company you can trust.  Moreover, they are veteran-owned and operated.

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Petersburg, VA

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
