Dave and his son Dan are top notch. Not only do they come and repair but they educate you. They don't want to have to come back. They aren't going to put band-aids on issues just to have to be out again in a few months. They are knowledgeable and professional. I called them for a clogged sink and they gave me better water pressure, did a quick adjustment to give me better dishwasher use and the drain is free and clear. Can't recommend enough. read more

Great service and highly recommend. Came the very next day after calling to find and fix the leaks that were on the outside of the house that were causing water bill to dramatically increase the last couple billing cycles. Is very knowledgeable and straightforward which is a relief to deal with in today's business climate. You won't be disappointed in hiring him to fix any plumbing problems you may have. read more

I had an emergency bath fixture issue and David took care of me immediately. They are the best and at a price far less then they quoted me because they had a better way to do it. Great communication, constantly cleaning up after themselves. They put in my Tankless Water Heater earlier this year and the same excellent service and price. I don't do plumbing anymore. These guys are Great!!!! read more

WHYTE PLUMBING is a wonderful father and son team that does things the right way! When it comes to working with a good plumber, there's often concern for good reason. Dave and his son Daniel are old school in that they take great pride in their work from start to finish. They embrace questions and are happy to explain what needs to be done and why. My wife and I had a problem with the main line from the city to our home. Dave assessed the situation and came up with a great solution that was cost effective and practical. There's a reason why Dave and son and WHYTE PLUMBING are successful. They are knowledgeable, reliable, and expert in their craft. They have a long line of satisfied customers who are happy to recommend them to friends and family. Now my wife and I are happy to do the same! read more

WHYTE PLUMBING Panic set in. It was 9 pm, and i had a flood in the kitchen cause the washing machine was not draining and i had no hot water, or any water coming out of the pipes. My brother, a businessman, who also is a licensed contractor who lives 700 miles away, offered to call a friend of his. David Whyte. Whyte Plumbing remodeled and changed my house pipes in my last home. He took the bathroom from 1957 to 2010. So my brother called him, and Whyte Plumbing, who is a professional witness and Plummer for various lawsuits and buildings that are owned by the city, state, and federal government. I recently had paid another Plummer that was recommended by my washing machine repair three times to fix the washing machine drain. Each time the bozo, told me it was 24 hrs after the Warranty. No receipts were ever given to me. Whyte Plumbing was different. He did not use a plunger, to fix the issue. No David and his assistant Plummer, brought in an electrical large item and cleaned the pipes from outside. I felt the entire house shake while it was cleaning out the clogs. The day before David and his assistant Plummer updated and repaired the continuous water heater. I was not aware that it needed to be cleaned out and the filter had to be changed every year. Both of these large repair jobs were not inexpensive, but they were done properly.. The two Plummers worked during two of the worse thunderstorms that we had that week. Since they were mostly outside, i was not aware of how bad it was until they knocked on the door for payment. Would i use them again?? Yes, remodelled a bathroom and changed the drain pipes in one one. Then cleaned out the drains and updated and fixed the continuous hot water supplier. Now i have other major jobs. Change out one of the toilets to make it taller, etc. Whyte Plumbing charges for the initial calls but many issues are fixed under the same cost umbrella. Which makes it done quicker. So while others are coming out to estimate, Whyte Plumbing is coming out to FIX the issue. Plus they give you a detailed receipt on the spot. Thank you read more

Another crisis averted due to the fabulous work of David and his son! I was living in a place that hadn't been tended to in many years. In 2023 Whyte Plumbing fixed another leak under the bathroom sink and in 2024 a dripping shower faucet. You can count on Whyte Plumbing to be on time, professional and also fun to talk to! Thank you David for all the work you did at the condo! read more

David and Dan's work was outstanding, and so are their work ethics. Even before we set a date for the job -- changing the water temperature control in our shower -- they spent time on helping me find and order the correct parts. While they were here, they were diligent in keeping us informed of their findings, and they generously provided advice on a previous installation that was not up to code. Their pricing is fair. I trust them completely and cannot recommend them highly enough for any plumbing job. read more

Wow! I was overwhelmed by the professionalism and quality of the work. Our tankless water went out unexpectedly and we needed help fast! David W came over and spend several hours trying to repair the unit. He walked us through every aspect of the repair in simple to understand terms. David took it as a personal challenge to fix this thing. Even spending an extra unpaid hour to get the unit back online. Unfortunately, we needed a new water heater. Not what we wanted to hear ... but David was back the next day with the new unit , the quality of which was superior to what we had at a fair price. Installation was perfect and we couldn't be happier. Many places take you for $$$ during an emergency like this. Not these guys. Highly recommended. Wow!

Outstanding service. Dave and Dan came out to our home to service our hot water heater as well as address some issues in the kitchen. We have a very high quality (but older) kitchen faucet that was leaking and parts were no longer available. Most people would have just told us to replace it (which would have also been more profitable for them), but Dave took it apart and didn't stop until he'd managed to fix the issue. They also recommended a few other very low cost preventative maintenance things that we were glad to have them do. Great work, and done with the type of care, fairness and integrity that is such a treasure to find. It was a pleasure to have them in our home - and we also learned a lot too from their patient and clear explanations of things. Highly recommended! read more

Being a licensed contractor myself, there is a certain expectation when hiring a contractor to do work. David goes above and beyond those expectations. His knowledge and response time is fantastic. He is very reasonably priced. I have been using him for years and highly recommend him! read more

Mr. Whyte and his son were amazing. I was referred to him by a friend that knew firsthand of his work. I had a leak in the house and before any work was done he spent a good amount of time on the phone to educate me on what was happening and what needed to get done. Once you speak with him you realize that he has mastered his craft and there's not many better at what they do. It was obvious and apparent that he knew what the problem was and how to fix it and was able to address other issues along the way. He is clean, prompt and well versed. Our family is truly thankful for the introduction. Highly recommend. read more

Really good plumber and a straight shooter. I hired Dave to add some pressure regulators, a pressure relief valve, and descale our tankless. When he came over for the original quote he was great about explaining everything so that it was easy to understand. He followed up with a quote and we hired him for the job. When he and his son came over to do the work, both of them got right on it and spent several hours working on a pretty hot day. Even with the heat, they seemed to be having fun out there which was good to see. The work looks great and functions nicely. The pricing was very reasonable. I definitely recommend Dave and his son! read more

Contacted Mr Whyte to ask for a quote on a job. He was very helpful and responsive and straight forward over text.

Dave was so knowledgeable, thorough, and expert in his field! We had an ancient & intractable tankless hot water heater. He diagnosed exactly what to do, then he & his son did it! We are so grateful. read more

David of Whyte Plumbing is a rockstar of the plumbing business! An installation of an automatic earthquake shutoff valve required a bit of ingenuity, but with over 40 years of experience, it was absolutely no problem for him. Following the work, he arranged for an inspection by the Department of Building and Safety, and a permit for the completed work was presented soon after the installation. David is very personable and highly experienced . . . I look forward to working with him on my future plumbing projects! read more

Whyte Plumbing - Automatic Earthquake Shutoff Valve! - Plumbing Near Me - Northridge, California

I hired David and Dan to install a new gas shut off valve for our stove. They showed up on time and completed the job in just a few minutes. They were friendly and efficient and explained everything in detail to me as they installed the new valve. David also inspected the dishwasher and garbage disposal drain connections, making some helpful suggestions in the process. I highly recommend Whyte plumbing. I plan to have them return and install an emergency shut off valve for the gas line. They are very professional and a pleasure to work with! read more

We really appreciated David coming to help with our toilet and also discovering the pressure regulator was malfunctioning. David is very professional, thorough, honest and knowledgeable. He was able to fix everything quickly and even came back later in the day to check his work and make sure everything was functioning properly. We didn't know how much water we were using with the pressure being so high. Looking forward to seeing some savings soon in our next water bill! Thanks so much! read more

I have only the highest praise for David Whyte. With his over 40 years of experience, you know right away you're in excellent hands. He is so knowledgeable; with the added feature that he's just plain fun to be with. He installed a Takagi tankless water heater at my house years ago and has been servicing it yearly ever since. Sometimes you just get the feeling that someone is doing the least they can to finish a job just to move on to the next. David is the complete opposite. He is so thorough in his work and so attentive to details. He always go over and above what one would expect. As an example, I had a Kohler bathroom faucet that was leaking at the handles. After Kohler sent the replacement parts, I called David to install them. What should have been a routine installation turned into a marathon, hours and hours, because the parts turned out to be defective. But we didn't know that until David, part by part, tested every possible piece of the puzzle, over and over and over again, trying every possible way to make these parts work, only to discover the faucet couldn't be fixed with the defective parts we were given. And he never complained about the extra time he spent trying to fix it. Once I received a completely new Kohler faucet, David returned and had the whole unit installed in just over an hour. There's good reason David is the forensic plumbing investigator & expert plumbing witness for office of the city attorney. I would feel totally confident in recommending David for any of your plumbing needs. read more

David did a service and descaling on my tankless water heater. He was very thorough and did much more than I expected for what he charged. I will definitely call him for future issues. Just wanted to add that David helped me over the phone the last two weeks to diagnose a tricky plumbing problem inside my house that I thought I could handle myself. It was a success, I fixed it, I learned a lot and I greatly appreciate his willingness to advise me for free. read more

David is far and away the best plumbing specialist out there. I met him when I first moved to LA and had him install a tankless hot water system. He still supports it today. David also has done other extensive work with perfection. Nothing but the highest praise for Whyte Plumbing. read more

Whyte Plumbing replaced the main water line to our house in Winnetka in June 2022. They had to trench out our front yard, install about 60' of underground pipe and backfill the trench. The work took two days. Everything was done on-time and I am happy with the work. They were easy to deal with. I felt the price was reasonable. I would recommend them to a friend. read more

I called a friend for a plumber referral after two different plumbers showed up at my home telling such outrageous lies that i threw them off the property. When I called David and told him my problems he laughed and asked "are you ready for an honest plumber?". I was and he is an honest plumber. If you are in need of an honest, professional plumber with fair prices call David. He solved my problems for thousands of dollars less than the other bids. Don't be taken advantage of, call him. read more

David is an angel! He just fixed our very old Takagi water heater after being without hot water for several days. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and throughly explains the work that he is doing as he goes. I have no doubt that most other plumbers would have probably looked at it and just recommended that we get a new one but David was determined to fix it! It is so hard to find a Plumber that you can trust and count on and David will definitely have all of our business from now on. Thank you! read more

Hadn't had a plumber over in a while, so we had a list of things to take care of: tankless water heater servicing, a replacement cartridge for the pre-filter, main line servicing, and a bathroom faucet repair. David and Daniel took care of business. The main line hadn't been checked in a long time, so I had a video inspection done as well. After snaking, David applied root-killing chemicals so we won't need to snake the main line every year. The faucet repair, which should have been no big deal, turned out to be a tough job because the old fitting was corroded and did NOT want to come off. David was able to get it done! Everything was taken care of with attention to detail, professionalism, and a cheerful attitude. I'm a happy customer. If you need a plumber, I recommend Whyte Plumbing wholeheartedly. read more

David was able to save me from spending thousands on a new tankless water heater by figuring out why my 10 year old tankless heater just decided to stop working. He figured out that it wasn't the heater or any parts I thought went bad after watching a few YouTube do it yourself repair videos, but instead a sticky earthquake gas valve that made the heater turn off as it was sensing low gas volume. I am impressed he was able to deduce that and the fact he is honest, upfront and knows a lot about tankless heaters. A less honest plumber could have easily told me my unit was too far gone to fix and would attempt to sell me a new heater. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a repair or replacement of their tankless water heater and will definitely call him again should my old heater give me any more problems. read more

I called David yesterday. My Takagi tankless water heater, which we've had for at least 10 years and serviced yearly was frequently turning off while we were in the shower. When this happened with soap in my hair I figured I needed to call someone to fix it. I looked at the Takagi website and they had a list of companies that did installation and repair. I called the top five and most of them, I needed to leave a message. One I explained my situation and they said they'd call me back. The only one that actually talked to me was David Whyte. He explained his background and experience and asked me to describe my situation and about the physical installation. He asked me to send photos which I did. He said my unit was old and it might have to have the PCB replaced but that he had a stock of them. I have to say that he was sure of himself and that's a good thing. I asked when he could come out and he said tomorrow but he needed to check his schedule and would get back to me. At the time he said he would, he did. He showed up this morning at the time he said he would (notifying me when he was on the way). He looked at the unit and told me all the problems with the installation (which there was nothing I could or would want to do about except keep it clean and keep the airflow going) and then set to work. I ran diagnostics and cleaned the dirty insides and filed off the junk that had built up on the water sensor. He air blew the whole area and tested and retested and all seems well. I paid him and he took my check, gave me a receipt. All and all very professional. Bottom line, I didn't have to replace anything and all seems to be well at this point. read more

David has been keeping my plumbing in top shape for more than 10 years now. He is a great communicator and extremely knowledgeable. I have recommended him to friends and would recommend him to anyone. If you've got an older house with vintage pipes you need a guy like David on your side. If you've got perfect pipes and want to keep them that way. Then you need David and his team on your side. Everyone needs a plumber eventually and when you do. Call David. read more

Appreciated David coming in last minute to help with our water heater. Great service and fast fix! I absolutely recommend him. Wore a mask and practiced safety measures. Went out of his way to mention our heater temp was higher than needed, since we have 2 little ones. Glad my husband chose his service. Will be using their service yearly now. read more

Very honest and hardworking. I have a leaky shower and it could cost over $500, but he figured it out Saved me a lot of money. Thank you. read more

David Whyte did some work at my house several years ago and did a great job so I called him back when I was once again in need of a good plumber. I called this morning and asked if he could install a new toilet for me, and within a couple of hours he was at my place getting the job done. David is great at explaining exactly what is needed, and gets the job done efficiently and professionally. read more

David was out at our property last week and was able to resolve and issue with our tankless water heaters. I had two previous plumbers that were not able to resolve the problems. David was great at explaining the problems and detailing what he was going to do to fix the problem. He also outlined the bill before he did any work. He was also timely and very cordial and very clean. read more

I've used David on more than one occasion. Today he was able to replace a garbage disposal, fix a faucet, and fix a toilet, all in about an hour. And even after that he made sure to check out everything else to make sure things were running smoothly. He's very attentive and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him for all of your needs. read more

I used this guy to unclog my sewer line. He charged me a whole bunch of money to put special chemicals down and do some sort of inspection but said the the work would be "Guaranteed." Two weeks later we had the same problem and he would not return my calls. I finally called another company to come out and unclog my drain for way less than David did and the problem has not come back. read more

The short of it: Excellent, prompt service that fixed my sewer back-up for a reasonable price. The long of it: A long overdue review to say THANK YOU to Dave and his guy for fixing my plumbing issue. I've had an ongoing tree root issue that caused the occasional backup in my sewer line. Every year or so, I'd call out a plumber who would snake it, then leave once his snake hit the roots, citing the need to tear up the sidewalk and replace the pipe. (I even called a highly-rated plumber on Yelp who was trying to get thousands of dollars out of me - you can find my review of him on Yelp, too.) This summer, I had a pretty major mainline sewer backup - ick! Terrified at what it would cost, I started investigating the problem. I came across Dave's name and contact info in an LA Times article on the tree root problem in LA neighborhoods. Dave came out promptly and fixed the problem. He is a true expert. He had the right snake for the problem, ran it multiple times to make sure the problem was actually cleared, then used a herbicide to clear the roots. He and his employee also cleaned up the gross sewer mess that was all over my driveway. I couldn't be more satisfied! Thank you, Dave! read more

I was attempting to install a new washer but the valves were frozen with corrosion. Dave had me text him pictures of the situation, and then explained over the phone what he thought the job would be and how much it would cost to replace the valves. He came over later that day and fixed it all for exactly what he figured it would cost by seeing the pics. He was professional, knowledgable, personable, and efficient. I will definitely call him again for any plumbing issues in the future. read more

Excellent plumber. Dave is professional, quick, bright, and neat. My old tankless water heater unexpectedly died in the morning and he installed a new on for us the same day. I will definitely use him again. read more

I used Dave Whyte to service my tankless water heater. He was highly recommended by my neighbor as my tankless had not been serviced in a few years since installation. Dave came out came out and did a wonderful job. I was amazed with his level of knowledge of these water heaters. He knew more than the company installer! In fact he had to make adjustments to the original install. Dave also supplied me with one of his custom water filters for the system. My water has never felt softer nor has it heated so well. My family and I are so grateful. I will not let anyone else touch my tankless ever again! read more

Very experienced, expert maintenance of our tankless water heater, unlike anyone else we've ever worked with. Also replaced our pressure release valve and a couple of other small things with impeccable work. Straight shooter. You won't find anyone better. read more
