Dave Blair Plumbing

Dave Blair Plumbing was started by Dave Blair the father more than 35 years ago. We have used him for all types of plumbing work for 22 years. He is the best, His son, Kenny has now taken over many tasks and is terrific also. For example we had a malfunctioning water heater a week ago. Kenny came. Other plumbers might have tried to sell us a whole new heater but kenny fixed ours quickly and for under $100. This is a great firm.

The worst I've even had to deal with. Poor work, no show, broken step stones, unfinished job, wasted time and money.

My review is a bit overdue and I apologize for that. However, here it is: Kenny and Art are without a doubt the best plumber we have had at the West End hotel. They are not just nice and hard working, they are respectful-unlike the last plumber Dave Blair's sent us. Now that guy was just rude from beginning to end, please never send him again! Anyway, back to Kenny and Art. Now those guys deserve a raise and the best plumbers ever reward! Request these guys and you won't be disappointed! Just let them do their job. Thank you so much Kenny and Art! You guys rock!

I had been using Blair Plumbing for years. Their work was fine. Then last month they snaked a kitchen sink and also sealed a leak from the same sink. last week, both the sink backed up again and the leak returned. I texted the son, Kenny the following note:
""morning Kenny. This is Lee.
our kitchen sink is still blocked. and it's leaking still underneath into the lower cabinet. both of these items were recent repairs by you.
how did you want to take care of this?""
I expected a polite professional response saying he'd have to look at it and tell me whether it's a redo or new work. I was fine with either as I had always trusted him. this is the response I got back: (I've replaced letters with filler symbols for obvious reasons!)
""Go F^*~ yourself""
I was shocked. I thought maybe he was joking.
I called the father Dave (super nice guy) and he laughed and said he apologized and would look into it. still no follow up.
I wouldn't allow anyone from Blair Plumbing onto my property ever again. it was shocking and a bit scary. what a shame. someone has obviously suffered a stroke or had a brain aneurism with a response like that! A cautionary tale for all interested!

Called about an older floor furnace. Was told they work on these and knew right away the model and parts that would likely be needed. Sounds good so far!

Was told it would be 4 days before they could get out. Ummm, well ok. ""We'll be there Thursday at 9am"".

So here we are, Thursday at 9am. Nothing. 9:30, nothing, 10, nothing, not even a call. 10:15 I call them... ""Hi this is Dave, oh yes your ticket went out with the other guy / truck. I'll call him and find out what's up and call you right back"".

Yea, well I had an appointment I made days ago.

10:30, nothing. 11am, nothing, 11:30, nothing.

Noon, I call again. ""Hi this is Dave. Oh, yes I keep calling the other plumber, he must be under a house and can't answer his phone..."" Ummm yea, but its now THREE HOURS after my appointment, YOU NEVER CALLED ME, I HAD TO CALL YOU.

Well ""Dave"", don't bother showing up. I've wasted three hours so far, had to call you for info, you never returned my calls.

Sorry dude. I'm a life long Culver City resident, but won't be a Culver City / local business (Dave Blair Plumbing) customer.

I called Dave on good recommendation from a friend. He was great on the phone -- answered right away and was very accommodating to fit my job in the same day. Unfortunately the two guys who showed up were incredibly unprofessional. I asked them if they could please park their van in the designated area nearby (after I had gone to the trouble to get them a parking permit), and they very dismissively told me no, they don't have time -- the one guy had an doctors appointment to get to. Great, so you know what, then DON'T BOOK MY APPT if you don't have adequate time to do the job! I should have sent them away right then. It was a super simple job, and yet they argued with each other about EVERTHING. Seriously, it was like I had two of the three Stooges sitting on my kitchen floor bickering like children about which valve to shut off and which piece of hardware to use. All in all, I think the work was good (I certainly hope) but I'm severely disappointed in their professionalism and I will not be calling these guys again.

My wife and I found Dave Blair plumbing last July. We have been so pleased with their work, we keep having them back to do more work for us. They installed a new fault, instant hot water tap and sprayer the first time.

The next time they cleaned out the drain and cleared it out on the same day we called them. A plugged up sewage line was the next call and again they did a fine job cleaning out the roots.

And again today they replaced our toilet with a new one in less than one half an hour and it looks great! They even took away the old device at no charge Home Depot wanted twice as much and also were going to charge us for the haul away.

Be patient and give them a try, if you can't make contact the first time, try again you will find out nice it is to work whit these people.

The best! Not only were they on time and reasonable in pricing they did excellent work. I was very pleased they called me in advance to meet me at my place so I was able to work. Great group of men. Thanks Dave Blair plumbing

I am SO happy and relieved to finally find plumbers who are honest, good at what they do, and whose charges are reasonable. I have a big ole' house and have had bad experiences with four or five different plumbers -- some had no idea what they were doing, some ripped me off with unnecessary work, and all were absurdly expensive. Dave Blair is a different breed. Old fashioned, family-run small business. Can't say enough good things about them. They're my plumbers for life now!

Honest and reliable. I have called them more than once and am always satisfied.
