Robert came out for my yearly tankless water heater flush. The service he provides is very professional and top notch. JR Plumbing did the same last year as well… read more as working over my toilets. Their service is excellent quality and very quick to set up an appointment. Nice job Robert from JR Plumbing!

March 8, 2026My water heater was not working properly so I turned it off. It was old enough to be replaced and not to be repaired. I noticed two employees of JR Plumbing… read more at work a block from my home. I stopped to ask them about a timely replacement for my faulty water heater. After they completed their work the two came to my home. They took photos and discussed my situation with their supervisor. The two workers promised to arrive the next morning with a replacement water heater. They arrived exactly at promised time and removed my old water heater. A new water heater was installed. The JR Plumbing team worked efficiently with care. The work area was left clean and clear. I have hot water with no worries and no problems. I was impressed!

Just had JR come out. They are a family operation, responsive communication and quick (same day) appointment. Alex and his associate were very friendly and knowledgeable. They listened to my… read more concerns, and fixed the issue with a fair price. Most importantly I never felt like they are trying to squeeze as much money as possible like many other service shops. Will use them again for sure.

January 27, 2026I want to give a shout out to JR Plumbing. I didn’t know that you should flush your tankless water heaters every six months to a year (first time home… read more buyer). As I was building my garage gym, I noticed that the supply line had become calcified with a small leak. After doing research, I found a plumbing company in Richmond with great, AUTHENTIC, google reviews. They texted me within 12 hours and we set up an appointment for the following day. They were timely and professional upon their arrival. The job was affordable and done in a timely fashion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

October 13, 2025These guys nailed it. Called them out for my mother in laws house. She had an underground leak someplace between the main water shut off at the… read more street and the house. They showed up much faster than expected considering it was later in the day. They had what they needed to repair the problem. They even texted me the next day to make sure everything was taken care of and if we had any questions. I’m keeping this number for future use. Price was very reasonable as well.

I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding job done on my home water softener installation! From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The technician arrived right… read more on time, explained the process clearly. Alex and Robert installation itself was seamless — neat, organized, and completed faster than I expected. I really appreciated the extra care taken to ensure all connections were secure and that the area was spotless when the job was done. I can already notice the difference in water quality throughout the house. If you’re looking for someone who delivers top-notch workmanship with excellent customer service, I highly recommend this team. They exceeded my expectations in every way! My water before the softener. Fort Bend Mud district.
