David's Plumbing

I called Dave after reading several positive reviews about him on the NextDoor app for Sacramento (Midtown). He responded quickly to my initial call, then we switched to texting to set up a visit. Apparently he's based outside Sacramento but does a lot of work in this area. Anyway, he came within a week to check out my proposed project and arrived on time. He was very friendly and gave me honest feedback about the complexity and cost that would be involved. I eventually decided not to go ahead with it, and Dave was totally okay with that. He even gave me some advice on a couple unrelated projects I've had in mind and took some measurements for me. And when I tried to pay him for coming out anyway, he wouldn't accept a dime! Based on other reviewers' glowing reports and my own experience today, I don't hesitate to recommend Dave. He seemed very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest.

I needed gas lines run for a new outdoor bbq project and I called numerous contractors to bid the running of the lines (I did all the trenching, etc, and just needed the lines run and hooked up to the meter). David provided a very fair quote and performed the work around my schedule. Super nice guy and would definitely recommend! I can't speak to his other plumbing work, but his work on the gas line and meter was perfect.

Yes, he's a little hard to reach as most contractors are very busy these days, but he does return texts/phone calls.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

David is a great and reasonable plumber. He always makes sure everything is EXACTLY as he said it would be. These 1 star reviews are uppity jerks that don't know anything about plumbing and would give anyone 1 star just to make themselves feel even higher on their horse. Recommend 100%

Contacted my home warranty company on Monday morning about a leaking garbage disposal; David called me that afternoon, came out to the house the next morning (was very prompt), diagnosed it was indeed my garbage disposal that was leaking and replaced it with the same type that was in previously. I think it took him a half hour to diagnose and fix my problem. Then he took the time to show me how to perform minor fixes and cleaning of the unit. Super friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. I am impressed and very satisfied.

Update! David's Plumbing DONKEY workmanship is happening again. I asked for a mid grade water heater and I found out that he ordered and installed a low grade model. The model I have is no longer being made, because of all the problems. The thermostat is going out. Lucky me it's covered under the warranty.

Once again David's Plumbing has exceeded our expectations. After our tub backed up from a major hair clog David came out and discovered our horribly old, rusted and pretty much destroyed pipes. He was getting ready to go on vacation and I was very upset because my 10 month old loves her nightly bath and the spare shower just doesn't get it. He said he would try to make it happen and sure enough he and Patrick showed up today! Could not recommend a better company! Very fortunate to have found them!

Originally found through our home warranty program. Quick to respond and very thorough. David and his crew are very pleasant to work with. Plan to use David's Plumbing going forward. Highly recommend!

I really need to remind myself to check Yelp reviews BEFORE doing business with someone rather than after the fact. David was assigned to our case by our home warranty company. We have a conventional 65 gallon propane water tank that was installed when the home was built, in 1987. The bottom has rusted out of the tank and its leaking all over! Sometime in the last few years the previous owner of our home installed solar components in addition to the conventional tank. The solar components are merely an addition to the conventional water storage heater in an attempt to save costs of heating water solely through propane. Unfortunately, David refused to properly convey the system to the home warranty company. He called our almost 30 year old conventional propane heated water tank a ""solar water heater"" which is not covered by the home warranty. Unfortunately the home warranty company can only make decisions based on what this ""technician"" has said. Thanks for nothing David. Maybe try a little google action before going out to a job next time: http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/selecting-new-water-heater

-Conventional storage water heaters offer a ready reservoir (storage tank) of hot water
-Tankless or demand-type water heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank
-Heat pump water heaters move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly for providing hot water
-Solar water heaters use the sun's heat to provide hot water
-Tankless coil and indirect water heaters use a home's space heating system to heat water

Bottom Line: Conventional storage water heaters that are heated by propane should not be considered ""solar water heaters"" because propane and sun rays are NOT the same thing.

I tried to discuss this all with him over the phone, you know... like adults. He told me he wouldn't commit ""insurance fraud"" and then hung up the phone on me. What? Haha. If I wasn't out a $75 service fee for absolutely nothing and still out a conventional propane hot water tank, I might find this whole situation comical.

Well he turned up on time from American Home Shield hence the one star!

Tuned up to repair a leaking waste disposal unit, that was working but slight drip. He left unit in bits under the kitchen sink unable to re- install a standard unit from Costco which I initially installed....I am no plumber. He stayed 1 hour 15 minutes.

I would not usually post, you know sometimes things just do not work out but the soap dispenser under the sink was smashed off. His words ""I did not break it, it was barley hanging on by a thread"". Erm so it was in place when you went under the sink and was working fine. He simply did not remove it to give him self clear access. The thread of the soap bottle is still firmly in place under the sink still. So how was it exactly hanging by a thread? You can decide if he was telling the truth.

Of course he did not get paid, but I am now left with no dishwasher or main sink for 5 days. Not the end of the world I just do not like been told ""stories"" that will cost me to fix and another day off work for the next plumber.

Plenty of plumbers out there I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
