We're dedicated to providing our clients with the very best in service, installation, and repair for all phases of your plumbing needs. We specialize in a variety of residential and commercial services and take pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects we're involved with. We're known for our quality work and the integrity of our business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction.

"I had a disappointing experience with Lockhart Plumbing, not due to the quality of their work, but because of an issue with double charges. After the work was completed, I noticed that I was charged on two different credit cards for the same service. I provided clear evidence of the mistake, and David Lockhart assured me multiple times that a refund check would be issued. However, it has been quite a while now, and I still have not received any refund. This situation has been incredibly frustrating, and to me, it speaks volumes about their ethical standards. Despite repeated promises, the issue remains unresolved. I would caution anyone considering their services to be aware of the potential for issues like this and to ensure everything is handled properly upfront. It is unfortunate because the workmanship itself was not the problem, but this lack of accountability has left a bad impression"

We are a full service plumbing company. We specialize in all forms of trenchless technology as well as general repairs from faucets to showers to entire house re pipes and as little as changing a wax ring on a toilet. We work for many of the largest contractors in the area and are underground division covers the entire state working for other contractors because of our specialties. Our indoor division stays mainly in the Central Virginia area providing top-notch service at an affordable rate. Many of the larger companies that we work for don't want to admit that they sub out to us. However you can hear people advertising for us on the radio every morning and never know my company was there. We look forward to working for you and making sure that you are 100% satisfied.

"They were very friendly, knowledgeable, explained what needed to be done,, and performed the job in a timely manner!! I would highly recommend! A +++!"

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
