About Norfolk Handymen
Your Local Plumber Serving Norfolk Homes
Dave Ellison runs Norfolk Handymen as an owner-operated plumbing service built around the realities of life in this independent city. He works regularly in neighborhoods such as Ghent, Colonial Place, Berkley, Ocean View, and Downtown Norfolk, where older housing stock often means dealing with aging pipes and fixtures that need careful attention rather than quick patches.
The humid subtropical climate brings hot summers that can increase demand on water systems, especially in homes near the Naval Station Norfolk or close to Town Point Park. Dave focuses on clear communication and practical fixes that hold up through those conditions, extending the same approach to calls that come in from nearby Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
Every job starts with an in-person look at the actual setup so homeowners can see the issue and the proposed solution before any work moves forward.
I grew up in Berkley and started Norfolk Handymen after years of handling plumbing calls in the older homes scattered through Ghent and Downtown Norfolk. The independent city's mix of historic housing stock and the push of humid subtropical summers often means dealing with pipe strain and water flow issues that show up first in places like Ocean View and Colonial Place. Working near Naval Station Norfolk and spots such as the Chrysler Museum of Art or Town Point Park taught me how local conditions and nearby cities like Virginia Beach and Chesapeake shape the day-to-day jobs.

Testimonials
What Norfolk, VA Customers Say
“The toilet kept running after every flush and the tank was refilling constantly. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper assembly, then adjusted the water level. It now shuts off cleanly with no more continuous running.”
“Our kitchen sink drain was slow and backing up with food particles. They snaked the line down to the main and cleared a grease buildup. Drainage improved right away, though we still run hot water after washing dishes.”
“A pinhole leak appeared in the copper pipe under the bathroom sink. The tech cut out the damaged section, soldered in new pipe and fittings, and tested the joint under pressure. No more drips and the cabinet stayed dry.”
