Review and analyze now for company White Knight Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''White Knight came here shortly after I called them, gave me a reasonable estimate for the services requested, did quality work, and stuck to their estimate despite a couple of hick-ups (mine not theirs) on the way. Adam was highly professional and clearly skilled.
This is now my go-to plumber. I would not recommend this company.
Despite asking a few times the technician would not give me a quote before starting the work, on both occasions they came out to my house. Just talked down to me and told me the work wasn't a big deal so it'll be fine.
Really regret calling them back out but was in a crunch, the 2nd time was worse than the 1st. The same technician came back but this time also made a very inappropriate comment to me when I asked for additional details about pricing for service options.
When I confronted him at the end of the service he laughed and said "sorry you got offended' instead of acknowledging his comment was out of line. Ultimately I found him unprofessional on multiple fronts.
So far (it's been a week) the work itself seems to be okay but there are better options - call Olympic Plumbing Technology. We have used this company for several years now for issues ranging from septic to clogged drains.
The first time we used them they came out in the middle of the night in pouring rain to fix a septic issue. We will never use anyone else! Honest and upfront about what really needs fixing.
And very fair on pricing. They have become our go to plumbing guys for the entire family - all five houses! We are very fortunate to have them as our plumbers.
Called and left a message for an estimate. White Knight was unresponsive.
Had an outdoor faucet and a leaky upstairs bathroom sink pipe & handle problem. Both were fixed for around same price as 2 others for just the outdoor faucet And the Korean wife ADAM He took time to explain everything she asked, along with helpful hints Usually skeptical about Plumbers But White Knight starting off on right foot White Knight was our second opinion on a few very straightforward issues we were having (Clogged Sink Drain + Leaky Dishwasher).
I never tell our second opinion that I've had another company out because I want to get a real picture of how they evaluate things and what they think the underlying issues are. Chris and his team were excellent! Chris was helpful working with me and my tenant on scheduling, direct billing, and communication while trying to fit us in and take care of us was constant and appropriate.
in the end our tech took care of all of our issues during the visit for 1/5 of the outrageous estimate we got from another plumbing company that was claiming to need to come back for another visit (for a sink clog, really). I now have a plumber who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will continue to use moving forward as long as they keep answering my calls.
These guys did a great job and they know exactly what there doing. I have complete trust in these guys with there honesty and workmanship.
They did not at all try to rip me off in any way. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend this company! Wonderful service and they make good on their promises.
On time and professional. Highly recommended We moved to Olympia in December of 2019.
We've had White Knight out three times since (it's now June of 2020) and been pleased each time. They've replaced two 20 year old hot water heaters (one electric, one propane, don't ask), a toilet, and the spigots for the clothes washer in the laundry room.
All tasks accomplished quickly by knowledgeable and pleasant plumbers. They didn't even charge extra when we followed them around asking a million questions! Recently we had them install a whole house filtration system to fix the hard water from the community well.
Chris took time to discuss this in detail with us beforehand and the installers worked extra hard to keep one outdoor spigot outside of the system. We had one other bid for this work and the White Knight price was 25% lower.
We would recommend this company for any kind of residential service. I only qualify that because we have no direct experience with them in a commercial context, but I'm sure they'd do fine there as well.
This is the company anyone should call for their plumbing needs in the Olympia area!!! I want to Thank you for providing excellent service to my parents. I called your company on their behalf to get an idea of the cost to do some kitchen faucet/disposal replacement.
You gave me a quote over the phone and were very friendly and professional. You went above and beyond to make sure there needs were met.
Keep up the good work. Called them at 11 am...
and one of their team was able to come out at 2 pm today (very lucky!)... fixed in 1.25 hours...
did a great replacement with some out-of-the-box engineering of the feed pipe so that if there is a "next time," replacing the ext. hose bib will be a quick and easy job.
On-time, professional, creative... a good mix for a company.
Thank you! We thought we had broken a pipe under the house during the recent freezing weather. After calling several plumbers and getting no response from most, my neighbor recommended I call White Knight, as she had very good service from them several times for her two houses.
Amazingly they responded immediately and dispatched a crew within two hours! When they arrived, they checked under my house, and actually found the problem was a hose leaking in my backyard in the snow. I had one I had forgotten to disconnect.
They were so nice, and they didn't even charge me since it only took a few minutes and were in my area anyway! You can bet that the next time I or anyone I know needs a plumber, White Knight Plumbing will be the one we call! Thank you for your excellent service, honesty and integrity! You guys are amazing! A tenant in one of my rental homes notified me they had no water and could hear and see water gushing underneath their house. After trying to find a company to help me right away I called White Knight Plumbing.
Chris said they could have someone out to the house in a couple of hours, would fix the problem and email me an invoice. The tenant called me a couple hours later; problem fixed and had plenty of water.
The company said what they would do and got it done as promised - pronto! I won't hesitate to call them We had a collapsed main waste water line in a rental while we were out of the country on vacation. One quick call to White Knight and it was handled immediately.
Wow! Would give greater than 5, but not enough stars. Yes, White Knight Plumbing is excellent.
They provided an estimate and the final bull was in line with the estimate. I had a whole house filter system installed and Kevin did a great job installing it.
He was friendly, kept his mask on when we were around, explained everything he was going to do and then did it. He ensured everything was working and there were no leaks.
He also went above board and explained some facts about our tankless water heater, which was not told us by the builder of the house when we purchased the house, thereby saving us a possible expensive repair. Yes I would recommend this company.
They do excellent work. Happy to say this was so easy! We had a mysterious leak for years.
Once the wall was cut open it was so simple! Mice had eaten the PEX line to the master shower, ugh! The plumber had us going in a jiffy, and charged us HALF the estimate!! We are new to the area and I am so pleased to find such a professional, timely and honest plumbing company! Jay came out today to look at a problem we had with a leak under our shower as well as leaky faucets. He explained how the water was getting under our shower enclosure and took our faucets apart to see if he could fix them without a new part.
It needs a new part which he is ordering. But when I asked him how much the "service call" was, he explained no charge since he was giving me an estimate! I simply couldn't believe it! Since we purchased an older house I know that we will be using his service in the future.
So refreshing to find an honest businessman. Thank you Jay and White Knight Plumbing - you will have a loyal customer here.
When you haven't had hot water for 2 days, anyone who can help becomes a hero. But White Knight is over the top heroic.
They were short-staffed when I called and booked way up. They squeezed me in between calls because "this lady needs water".
Literally, Chris was thinking about my family and busted rear to get out and help me. He was great about explaining things I can do to deal with things on my own.
How can you not support a business like that? I'm still so impressed! Thanks so much. I've used this company several times over the last couple of years and they have always been excellent.
They're quick to respond, do a great job, and have superb customer service standards. This is definitely be our go to plumbing company.
They came to check on a plumbing issue I was having, spent about an hour troubleshooting the issue and turns out, I didn't need a part replaced or repaired. They didn't charge me for the inspection and trouble shooting, though I would've gladly paid for their time.
There's a reason they have such a high rating and positive feedback, they exemplify the definition of integrity and professionalism! We are so impressed with this company and will certainly use their services again if needed. They were on time, professional, quick and knew exactly what they were doing.
Don't keep looking...these are the plumbers you need! Excellent work and service. Theses guys are making it happen! I had a busted water main somewhere between the street and my house.
They came out the same day I called and wrote me a quote. My two other bids took a couple of days just to schedule an estimate.
The other two bids were $1000 to $2000 more than White Knight and used exotic techniques to plumb the line. White Knight showed up on time, got the job done quickly and on budget.
What more can you ask for? Extremely satisfied customer! This company has changed my original opinion and review of them from my first experience a few months ago. They have come out a couple times within the last couple weeks to fix a water heater leak and ended up installing a new water heater today.
They were very prompt and efficient, friendly & courteous. The plumber even took his shoes off when entering the house which I very much appreciated.
They were out yesterday to check on the reoccurring leak and had the new one installed by 10:30 am this morning. Thank you for your business.
Our hot water failed on Sunday night. I called these guys and left a message expecting a call first thing on Monday morning.
NO call, not Monday morning or ever!! I called Olympic Plumbing Tech and they came out Monday afternoon and replaced the heater. Back when i lived in Olympia i had frozen/blown pipes, and when everyone else wouldn't come out Chris from White Knight came out in horrible weather and fixed me up.
These people really know their stuff and went above and beyond. So much so that when i made this yelp account i tried to think back on who all gave me the best service ever and i remembered these people.
This was a few years back i live in California now.... but White Knight i never forgot how you saved the day!!!! Look at these guys getting 5 stars from everybody.
It says a lot for the business. Let's go...showed up on time, called ahead if running late, friendly, work completed to time quoted, and able to take an extra unscheduled job on the fly with no worries.
A good call for south sound peoples.... Yaaa! Once again White Knight comes through!! Their moto suits them, definitely a company of integrity! Their man Elmo came out did a great job but unknown to him other things were hidden in the dark mazes of pipes.
So I called right when they opened and he came out the same day. He fixed everything! Was super thorough and because I'd already paid the first time, no charge! And I must add that he had a great attitude even though he had to come out again...I highly recommend White Knight and I personally won't use another plumber!! Thanks guys!! I was very happy with their service.
They were prompt and cost reasonable. They fixes a leaking faucet, and replaced 4 toilets.
I will call them again. They were great.
Came out fast to fix my leaky shower drain. Plumber was fast and friendly.
The price was right for the work done. Very happy and would use them again.
Wish I had gotten a business card! Thanks White Knight. We had a leak for several months, white knight came out, thought they fixed it, paid them , they left.
3 days later pipe is still leaking, they came right back out when I called, thought it was fixed, week later still leaking, I called they came right back out, within a half hour, ended up having to cut a small hole in the wall, but fixed it with in a half hour. The 2 guys who came out, were determined to fix it, great guys who got the job done in no time.
You never know with older plumbing what can go wrong, but they did a thorough job, and Stood behind their work. Thank youWhite Knight 2 new toilets and an outdoor spout in by 9 out by 10...as promised for the exact price quoted.
Great quality of work. Won't go anywhere else.
Chris and his crew have rescued us twice. Once when we had to have our water heater replaced and another time to fix an issue with our bathroom sink.
The crews are always courteous, and right on time. Their prices are fair.
I would have no reservations in recommending White Knight Plumbing to anyone. White knight came towards the end of the appointment window.
But the representative were very kind and knowledgeable. They gave me a couple of contacts for an estimate.
The folks at White Knight have been awesome. They've done work on my home and my investment properties, and they've always delivered great results.
They're prompt, reliable, tidy, and professional. Most of all, I can count on them.
They've fixed leaks, repaired showers, installed water heaters, and all kinds of other jobs (sometimes at a moment's notice) and they've always been great! The pilot light on my gas water heater would not light. My husband had tried several times to start it with no success.
White Knight came, and it started for the repairman without any problem. He could find nothing wrong with the water heater lighting apparatus.
They did not charge us even though they had put in the time to come to the house. Wow! I will definitely call them again when I have a problem.
Thanks, White Knight. We had to get the wax rings replaced by a licensed bonded company.
Even though we already knew how to do this, we are selling our house and the buyers requested it. Knowing it costs less than $15 to replace.
Unfortunately this company charged $180 for something that costs $15. Pretty crazy the mark up.
In their defense, they were probably the cheapest plumber we had called for quotes, so it's not just them that does the crazy mark up, and they had excellent customer service. I'm not sure I would recommend due to the sloppy caulking job the guy did on the toilet.
I'm not sure how you get caulk up by the toilet seat, but then again I'm not a plumber. Prompt, courteous, reasonably priced and they do quality work.
They are my go to call for any plumbing repairs I had a hose bib that wan't working. They came out, took a look, and fixed the problem in 5 minutes.
The best part was that they didn't charge me a dime to take care of the problem. These guys are professional and HONEST.
I will definitely call them again if I need plumbing work done. On time, fast, reasonable rates, great job! Will use again and recommend to others.
Thank you! My kitchen sink drain was clogged and I was referred to White Knight Plumbing. The service was professional and they arrived when they were scheduled.
The work was done quickly and thoroughly. I was very pleased with all of this.
The reason for my 3 star rating, however, is the price. Elmo was upfront with the quote (after assessing the situation) so there were no surprises there.
The charge for unclogging a kitchen pipe is $250. The job took less than 30 minutes.
To me that seems pretty steep. Kevin and Joe were on time, polite, friendly, professional, and very informative about the issues and repairs being performed.
The prices were very reasonable and I highly recommend anyone to use their services. I highly recommend White Knight Plumbing.
I called with a drainage problem yesterday and it was fixed today. On time, very professional and they know what to do, fast.
Call them. I have used this company three times.
They replaced my outdoor faucets, cleared a cling kitchen drain and replaced the tub/shower fixtures. Always on time, professional and reasonably priced.
Thanks, I highly recommend. This Company is NO JOKE! HONEST! SUPER FAST! SUPER FRIENDLY! My tenants called me at 1am stating the tubs were filling up with sewage.
I was upset since the septic was just pumped 2 yrs ago. I called at 7:30 am and they called me back IMMEDIETLY.
Made an appointment for 2 hours later. Showed up on time.
The tenants failed to tell me there was ever an issue until it got real bad. The baffles were PLUGGED solid of baby wipes and food debris- Then he had to remove a toilet and what did we find.
A MAKE UP BRUSH! A LARGE ONE! He replaced the wax rings, cleaned all the mess and the estimate was DEAD on! I cant thank you enough because I sold the home and tenant is moving out and home inspection is in 2 days! They even called to verify that I was pleased with their service! 5 Star service! Thanks so Much guys! Really! We have a rental in the Olympia area. On short notice our renters moved out so we had only days for turn around.
I called White Knight. Chris was able to send someone out the same day.
Elmo had quite the undertaking attempting to remove a stick of deodorant the tenant flushed (SMH). He was successful, but the toilet just didn't work the same.
Elmo was able to come back out the next day to replace the unit. Applying the charges from the first day to the replacement.
Great guy, great company, great price. Would recommend White Knight to anyone! Just had Elmo replace my water line and also had work done on a toilet and sink.
Love this place. I had no water and they came right out for this emergency within an hour, they recommended an excellent and cheap concrete company to cut thru to get to my line, then, when I was ready for it, they came back the day my trench was ready to install the line.
Excellent work. Price was very reasonable.
I just wanted to add to the glowing reviews here with my own! Friendly on the phone, friendly in person. Straightforward and honest with me in all ways.
Quickly diagnosed problem and gave quote. Work was finished in under an hour (as originally told it would) and the final price was about $30 under quote, so I'm happy.
Answered various questions about the issue, and got good, understandable answers. Hopefully I don't have any future plumbing issues, but if I do, it'll be White Knight.
Thanks, guys! The guys were on time, worked quickly and charged me what I was quoted The water main broke outside my house the Friday before Labor Day weekend, and there was absolutely no one available in Lewis County to come fix it- we were looking at going the whole weekend without water. I called Chris at White Knight on nothing but a prayer, and he confirmed what I'd already assumed- that they were totally slammed as well.
But Chris called me back an hour later and told me he'd moved some things around and there was someone on their way to fix the pipe! It was fixed and the water was back on that afternoon, and I couldn't have been more grateful. White Knight will be the absolute first number I call for any future plumbing needs.
I have used White Knight Plumbing a couple of times they provide a great service. They can schedule projects quickly and they have always had very nice helpful plumbers that have come and worked on my house.
Their motto is --- " The company with the honesty and Integrity you deserve"---and they hold true to it--- My last job there was a scheduling snafu and White Knight sent a plumber out to my house the next day--Sunday--to do the job for free. Quality work and quality company--- Honest and professional.
Installed an additional outdoor light for me. Took less than an hour while someone else told me it would take 2.
I inquired about an additional service and he told me i They did an excellent job putting in my water line. I will recommend White Knight Plumbing to all my friends and family.
The price was reasonable and I'm so glad I got a number of quotes. Thanks so much Jay! You were awesome! The other thing that i really appreciated was Jay gave me a quote with 3 options.
Instead of just one option! Also, a shout out to Brandon at American Leak for referring white knight plumbing! We have used White Knight Plumbing and are very impressed with their knowledge and quick response. Capital Court Condominiums highly recommends them for big to small repairs.
I've called several times in the last month to request service and never received a call back. After a home inspection I called Tuesday night and explained my problem.
I was amazed when they scheduled me for Thursday. Jay came out at the scheduled time.
He inspected my entire crawl space and could not find a leak. He wrote a report explaining his finding and didn't even charge me.
I will definitely be calling White Knight the next time I have a plumbing issue. These guys are great! They gave me a very reasonable estimate compared to other estimates I got.
Because of that, I was worried that they might not do quality work. But I read all the other Yelp reviews about their great work, so I took a leap of faith.
I also spoke to the owner, who was very honest and straightforward. I needn't have worried at all.
They did great work! They showed up promptly, were very courteous, had all the necessary tools ready, and cleaned up completely when they were done. One of our problems was a drip causing damage to our ceiling.
Jay put down a tarp to catch the sheet-rock pieces, and cleaned it all up when he was done. He promptly discovered it was a leak in the fire sprinklers, which they couldn't fix, but he also put my mind at ease by ensuring we didn't have an additional leak in the nearby shower drain.
They answered all of my questions thoroughly and very nicely. They installed two toilets promptly, and took the old ones with them, saving us a trip to the dump.
Very good work! I plan to have them back soon for another project. I had a toilet fixed because of a leak.
The leak was fixed within an hour and during the payment process I was told the toilet should probably be replaced. I called to make an appointment for the replacement install and told Chris my story.
He immediately asked if he could call me back so he could contact the plumber who worked on my house and get a better idea of what happened. When he called me back he offered me a partial refund on the work down the day before and offered to halve the cost of install with me because the need for a new toilet wasn't noticed before fixing it.
I was absolutely shocked! Great customer service! Hiring White Knight is like paying for a Motel 6 and getting a room at the Hilton. Their quality is wonderful, their price is low, and they are a joy to work with.
When they say they are reliable and honest - they really mean it! I've hired them for several jobs, and certainly plan on calling them for any future needs. Highly recommended! Chris came over right away when I called on Friday evening at 4pm.
He checked the situation (debris in water pipes, leaking under the sink) and explained what needed to be done clearly. When I asked him just to do one part (due to money concerns) he got right to work.
By the end of a solid 2 hours he had done everything that needed to be fixed (blowing out all the lines, replacing the sink basket, making sure the pipes ran down rather than uphill) and then he made sure that the dishwasher was also functional . He did all the work because he said he couldn't just leave it undone and dripping.
He is just that kind of guy-- I could tell right away that quality work is essential to him. He also didn't charge for all of his extra work.
It is refreshing to have the job done right and explained clearly after lots of other folks that we have had work on our house have not done that. He runs a quality business and I definitely recommend White Knight Plumbing.
I want to compliment Chris of White Knight Plumbing. His attention to detail, service quality and professional manner went above and beyond my expectations.
This is a type of service that is rarely seen these days. I highly recommend White Knight Plumbing.
I called White Knight again because my first experience with them was so great. This time I needed my hot water heater replaced.
I had several phone conversations with Chris, the owner, regarding energy ratings of different models and various other questions. He took time to answer my questions fully.
Jay and Joe came and did the work within a couple days of my initial call. They were courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about hot water heaters.
I asked several questions about the operation and maintenance of the heater, and they were very responsive to all my inquiries. Very nice guys! The quote Chris gave me was reasonable, and the final bill was as quoted.
So glad I found White Knight! We have a rental house in Dupont and received a call from our renters that the kitchen had flooded overnight and a plumber was needed ASAP. I called White Knight Plumbing because of their 5 star reviews, and they were able to get to the house that same day.
They found nothing wrong and didn't charge me anything because there wasn't anything to fix. Being far away and unable to look into the issue myself, I truly appreciate their honesty and integrity! You can bet if I ever have a plumbing issue again, they will be the plumbing company I call! It was clear from my initial phone call with these guys that they were not even remotely interested in coming out to give me a quote.
They actually discouraged me from doing the job, which entailed plumbing out my garage. Turns out the plumber who did come out was able to do the job in two hours.
Easy. But White Knight was discouraging and disdainful from the beginning.
They didn't even want to be bothered.'''.
