Whitelaw Plumbing LLC specializes in skilled installations and practical solutions for service or alterations to existing plumbing systems. We take care of all plumbing needs, including fixing leaks, replacing water heaters, and undertaking custom home projects or commercial improvements.

After the birth of our child in June 2011, my wife and I started this business. We wanted to ensure a better future for him, and with my entrepreneurial inclination and her outstanding organizational skills, we took the plunge after obtaining some major contracts with local contractors. The name ""Whitelaw"" pays homage to my great-grandfather, who lived seven generations ago and was named Whitelaw. He was taken by the British in Scotland, brought to America, and made to fight against the United States in the War of 1812. Once the British were defeated, he became a citizen of the United States and eliminated the ""law"" from his name. I took it back as a representation of a lost time when business transactions relied on trust and reputation. That’s the essence I want this business to embody, along with our commitment to trust and integrity. We aim to provide lasting, robust installations that will meet your needs for many years.

Great value, very responsive, and they replaced our heater for less than others. They understood our requirements for a short term rental downstairs and recommended the best options without going overboard. They also proposed ways to increase capacity if needed after. Work was very fast and good quality.

A modern day plumber! The best customer service. Both my estimates were completed over pictures and text saving everyone time and money. He is honest and let's you know if your plumbing issue is something you can do yourself.

Ben did a spectacular job on my super complex plumbing project. Added a new bathroom, altered plumbing in two bathrooms being remodeled as well as fixed my main sewer line and did a number of custom tweaks around the house. Not to mention his discriminative eye for exquisite detail........ he installed three unusual and rare high tank toilets in my house without a hitch. Ben was reliable, prompt, professional, kind to my dog and completely knocked it our if the park. I have zero reservations recommending Ben for any plumbing job regardless of complexity. The dude is a plumbing wizard!

Ben is the nicest, most honest professional. We had an issue with our water heater, but it was an electrical issue. He didn't want to waste our time or money, and spent time answering both our phone calls and emails to clarify my own questions. Can't recommend him enough! I can see why he has 5 stars from everyone. Hopefully I won't need his services anytime soon, but won't hesitate to reach out to him again if I ever do. Great guy!

Ben with Whitelaw plumbing is an honest and transparent gent, who works hard, making sure to never cut any corners, and all the while keeps a smile on his face. I would definitely use Whitelaw Plumbing again and refer Ben to anyone I know in need of a great plumber.

Ben of Whitelaw Plumbing is SOLID. He repaired a leaky bathroom pedestal sink drain, found just inside the wall above the crawlspace under the bathroom (so hard to reach and fix). His bid was 3 times (not exaggerating) lower than the other 3 bids I received. Everyone else was convinced the pedestal sink needed to be removed to access the space and Ben thought he could fix it without that extra costly step. And he did! And because it took him even less time than he projected, he charged me less than the estimate at the end. Unreal and much appreciated! And above all, Ben is a decent human being that's not only skilled, but also honest, efficient, and warm. He is our family plumber now.

Ben is amazing. I've used his services for several projects in my home. Has has always been extremely detail-oriented, responsible and knowledgeable. I am happy to be on his ""existing customers"" list.

Ben was quick to respond to my email when I reached out to him to inquire about the problem I was having with constant running water coming from my toilet. The price he quoted seemed reasonable. He was on time for the appointment and went right to work fixing the issue and was done in a timely manner. He took the time to explain what he thought was causing the problem and how he was going to fix it and what to expect afterwards.

I take my time and try to do some research on people or businesses I hire when I need work done on my home, so I decided to go with Ben and was really pleased by his professional manner and expertise.

I would definitely hire him again if I ever have any plumbing issues. Very pleased with his work.

So glad I'm on Ben's customer list! He is simply excellent. He just talked through an issue with our water heating system over the phone, so now I know it's safe, and what we'd need to do to fix the pump in due course. Really appreciate his quick response, patience with my lack of knowledge, and honesty.

I contacted Whitelaw Plumbing for a sump pump replacement. I called the number they list as their primary contact method, which goes to a machine. I was redirected to their email address and wrote them an email 11 days ago, but ultimately got no response. Time wasted.

I acknowledge that plumbers get busy and cannot always take all jobs, but the other plumbers I contacted all responded promptly (2 declined the work, and 1 took and completed the job).

Plumbing work tends to be time-sensitive, so I would be wary of working with someone who may or may not reply to messages more often than once every 2 weeks.
