Leak detection and slab leak repair
We locate and repair leaks in pipes under slabs, foundations, floors, and concrete walls, then fix them without tearing up more of your home than the job needs.

What we do
Plumbing and drain work, done by family
Drain cleaning and sewer repair
We clear slow and blocked drains and repair sewer lines, including mechanical cable snaking and root cutting and removal.
Camera and video pipe inspections
We run color video cameras through sewer and drain lines so you can see the problem yourself before we quote the repair.
Hydro-jetting
We scour grease, sludge, and roots out of sewer and drain lines with high-pressure water jetting.
Tankless water heaters
We service and install tankless water heater systems, plus filtration systems for cleaner water through the house.
Who answers the phone
David Whyte, the Pipe Doctor
I started in plumbing in 1979, earned my first California C-36 plumbing license in 1984, and incorporated Whyte Plumbing, Inc. in 1988. Our California C-36 plumbing license is No. 549658.
My son Daniel works beside me, so when you call us you get family, not a dispatch queue. We do full-service plumbing and rooter work for homes and small businesses, and I also serve as a forensic plumbing investigator and witness for the city attorney’s office. When an insurance company needs answers, we put our findings in a written damage report with digital pictures and a repair estimate.
