Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and that is exactly where Midlothian Plumbing Company focuses. We handle full plumbing repair and installation for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial properties across Midlothian and Chesterfield County. Whether a drain is backing up, a water heater has stopped producing hot water, or a pipe has failed somewhere in the wall, we scope the job on the call and get it scheduled. We are open every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.

As a local plumber for homeowners and businesses alike, we keep the work straightforward from the first call to the finished repair. Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.
This area has every kind of pipe and fixture in it, from copper supply lines in older homes to PEX throughout newer construction, and the problems that come with each. We handle the full range of everyday plumbing work: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve repair, and whole-home repiping.
When a slab leak develops under a concrete floor, we use electronic detection and pressure testing to locate it before any cutting starts. When a water heater fails, we assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the situation and give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. Gas line repair, backflow preventer installation, and fixture work for kitchen and bathroom remodels are all part of what we do.
Commercial properties in Chesterfield County have their own demands. We handle commercial drain cleaning, commercial water heater repair, and commercial pipe repair for offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit buildings. The scope is confirmed before anything is scheduled. Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
When the plumber arrives, the real work begins, and the list of what that work covers is broad. Here is what we handle across residential and commercial calls.

Slow drains are easier to clear before they stop completely.
Plumbing a home right takes the right tools and a careful hand, and in this part of Virginia the local conditions shape which jobs come up most often. Clay-heavy soil, a mature tree canopy, and seasonal rainfall all put specific pressure on the plumbing systems here. The three services below reflect what we see regularly in Midlothian and the surrounding county. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done, every time. The street layout around here is easy to work, and we know which neighborhoods carry the oldest infrastructure.
Chesterfield County's clay soil does not drain quickly, and when seasonal storms push groundwater up against a foundation, basements and crawl spaces take the pressure. A sump pump installation involves digging or opening the pit, setting the pump, and running a discharge line to carry water away from the structure. We assess the existing drainage situation before sizing the pump so the system handles the actual load the property sees. A failed or undersized pump during a heavy rain event is the kind of problem that gets expensive fast, and a properly installed system removes that risk.
Midlothian's established neighborhoods come with mature trees, and those roots follow moisture directly into clay sewer lines and older cast-iron pipe. Root intrusion is one of the more common recurring sewer problems in this area. We run a camera down the line to locate the root mass and assess pipe condition, then clear the blockage with mechanical cutting or hydro jetting depending on what the inspection shows. Where the pipe wall is compromised, trenchless options like pipe lining can restore the line without a full dig. The camera inspection tells us what the line actually needs before we recommend anything.
Water drawn from sources serving Chesterfield County carries enough hardness to leave scale on fixtures, shorten water heater life, and reduce the effectiveness of soap and detergent over time. A whole-house softener addresses the problem at the point where the supply line enters the home. Installation covers the softener unit itself, the supply line connection, a bypass valve for servicing, and the brine tank setup. Homeowners with older water heaters or fixtures that are already showing scale buildup often find a softener extends the life of equipment they would otherwise be replacing sooner. Call now and we'll lock in your appointment.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor leak from a serious one, and that uncertainty is exactly why we walk through the job on the phone before anything is scheduled. When you call, we ask about the symptom, scope what the visit will cover, and give you a price before we put anything on the calendar. You know what the call covers and what it costs before anyone shows up at the door.
The cause of a leak is explained, not just the patch. If the diagnosis points to a larger issue, we say so plainly and let you decide how to proceed. Plumbing costs vary by job: a drain cleaning is a different scope than a slab leak repair or a water heater replacement, and the price reflects what the specific work involves. A price agreed before we start. Flexible timing. Sound pipes.
Plumbing a home right takes preparation, but some problems do not wait for a convenient time. A burst pipe, a major leak, no hot water, a backed-up main line, or a failed sump pump during a storm all qualify as urgent calls. We are open every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM, including weekends and evenings, and we take short-notice work when the schedule allows.
When you call about an urgent situation, the job is scoped on the call the same way any other service call is handled. The scope is confirmed, the price is discussed, and the visit is scheduled. You are not left waiting without knowing what comes next. We show up ready to get to work.

Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Midlothian and Chesterfield County.

Call (804) 626-5692 and describe what you are dealing with.
We ask about the symptom, scope what the visit will cover, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. You know what the call covers and what it costs before anyone shows up at the door.
The first call covers what the problem looks like, what the visit will involve, and what the rate is for that scope of work. Once the price is confirmed and you are ready to proceed, we get the job on the schedule. You are not left waiting without knowing what comes next.
Pricing is based on the work involved, not on the size of the property. A drain cleaning is priced as a drain cleaning whether the home is 1,000 square feet or 4,000. For larger jobs like whole-home repiping, the scope of the work itself determines the price, and that scope is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.
For routine work, lead times vary depending on what the schedule looks like when you call. For urgent situations, we take short-notice work when the schedule allows.
Call (804) 626-5692 and ask what is available, and we will confirm what we can get on the calendar.
Call (804) 626-5692 and describe what you are seeing.
That conversation covers the symptom, the likely cause, what the visit will involve, and the rate. Once you have the price and want to move forward, we schedule the visit from there.
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the affected area, the water heater, and the main shutoff if it is needed. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult who can grant access and answer questions about the problem works just as well. Let us know the situation when you call and we will work around what you have.

| Service | What's Included | When to Call | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Major active leak containment, Sewer backup, Sudden loss of water pressure | Any situation where water is actively flowing where it should not be or the home has lost water entirely | If a pipe bursts, closing the main water supply valve stops the flow and limits damage while the visit is arranged. We take emergency calls daily from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Main sewer line clearing and repair, Root intrusion removal, Trenchless repair where appropriate, Line camera inspection | Slow drains throughout the house, sewer backup, or gurgling sounds from multiple fixtures | In Chesterfield County, root intrusion from mature oaks and maples is one of the leading causes of main line problems. We clear the line and assess whether the pipe itself has been damaged. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing to isolate the leak, Electronic detection for hidden pipe runs, Supply line and fitting repair, Slab leak location and repair | Unexplained water stains, rising water bills, or a mildew smell with no visible source | We locate the source before any cutting starts, so the repair targets where the leak actually is rather than opening up a wide area. |
| Water Softener Installation | Whole-home softener installation at the main supply, Pre- and post-installation pressure check, Sizing for household demand, Connection to existing supply line | Households dealing with scale buildup on fixtures, shortened appliance life, or hard water deposits that are difficult to remove | Water hardness varies across the Midlothian area. A properly sized softener installed at the main line addresses the problem at the source rather than fixture by fixture. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Kitchen and bathroom drains, Floor drain clearing, Hydro jetting for stubborn buildup, Main line clog removal | Slow drains, recurring backups, or a drain that has stopped completely | Hydro jetting cuts through grease and mineral scale that a standard snake cannot reach, and it clears the full diameter of the pipe rather than just punching a hole through the clog. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | Galvanized steel and polybutylene pipe replacement, Full supply system repipe, Permit coordination, Pressure testing after completion | Aging pipe that is affecting water quality, pressure, or producing recurring leaks throughout the house | Repiping is done in a planned sequence that keeps disruption manageable. We handle the permits so the work is documented correctly. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Kitchen and bathroom faucet replacement, Showerhead and hose bib installation, Sink and bathtub fixture work, Outdoor faucet repair | Dripping faucets, fixture upgrades, or a corroded valve seat that has gone too long without attention | A dripping faucet that corrodes the valve seat underneath it turns a simple washer job into a more involved repair. Calling early keeps the fix straightforward. |
| Sump Pump Installation | New sump pump installation, Pump repair and float switch check, Discharge line routing, Backup power confirmation | Basements or crawl spaces in lower-lying lots that see water intrusion during heavy rain | Midlothian's clay-heavy soil limits natural drainage, and a correctly installed sump pump with a working float switch and discharge line is the most reliable defense against seasonal water intrusion. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Pressure reducing valve service, Main shutoff valve repair or replacement, Fixture stop valve replacement, Supply line pressure diagnosis | Low pressure at one fixture or throughout the whole house, or a shutoff valve that will not fully close | A shutoff valve that will not fully close is a liability in any emergency. Replacing it before a pipe fails is far simpler than doing it under pressure. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running toilet repair, Toilet replacement, Clog removal, Fill valve and flapper replacement | A toilet that runs, leaks at the base, clogs repeatedly, or needs full replacement | A running toilet can waste a significant volume of water before the bill reflects it. The repair is usually straightforward once the internal mechanism is inspected. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | Tank and tankless unit repair, Full water heater replacement, Gas and electric supply line work, Sediment flush and component replacement | No hot water, inconsistent temperature, or a unit that runs constantly without delivering | Tankless units require correct sizing and a properly configured supply line to perform well. We confirm those details before the new unit goes in. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Disposal repair and reset, Full disposal replacement, Drain connection and seal check, Jam clearing | A disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks at the sink flange, or has stopped working entirely | Most disposal failures are either a tripped reset button or a jammed grinding plate. We confirm which it is before recommending a replacement. |
