Company Background

RK Knight Plumbing is a Whittier institution with roots running deep in the community. The business was founded in 1956 by Ronald Knight Sr., who began his plumbing career in 1947. Today, his grandson, Ronald Knight Jr., runs the company alongside his own sons, Ronnie III and Randy, making it a true three-generation family operation. This legacy isn't just about plumbing; it's about building relationships. For the Knight family, the work is personal. They take pride in being the trusted name that Whittier residents have relied on for decades, often serving multiple generations of the same families. It's this commitment to the community, combined with decades of hands-on experience, that forms the foundation of every service call, from a simple faucet repair to a major sewer line replacement.

FAQs

As a Whittier homeowner, what should I know about hard water and my plumbing?

Whittier's hard water is a common concern that can lead to scale buildup in pipes and on fixtures, reducing water flow and appliance efficiency. At RK Knight Plumbing, we address this directly. During a plumbing inspection, we can assess the scale in your system. For repairs, we use precise methods like electronic leak detection to locate issues without unnecessary damage. We also install and service water softeners and can recommend energy-efficient solutions, like tankless water heaters, which are less susceptible to scale problems and align with our Green Screened certification for sustainable plumbing.

What does it mean that RK Knight Plumbing is a 'Green Screened' certified contractor?

Our Green Screened certification means we are trained and committed to providing plumbing solutions that prioritize water and energy efficiency for Whittier homes. This isn't just about new installations; it applies to repairs and upgrades, too. For example, when repairing or replacing a water heater, we might recommend a high-efficiency model or a tankless system. We can also install recirculation pumps to reduce water waste. It's part of our family's approach to responsible service, ensuring your plumbing works better for your home and the local environment.

My family has used RK Knight for years. How does the business stay in the family?

Staying a family business is at our core. Founded by Ronald Knight Sr. in 1956, the company was passed to his son, Ronald Jr., who now works with his own sons, Ronnie III (the General Manager) and Randy (a lead technician). This multi-generational hand-down ensures that the values of respect, quality workmanship, and personal customer care that built our reputation are preserved. When you call us, you're often speaking to or being helped by a Knight family member who understands this legacy and is dedicated to maintaining the trust Whittier has placed in us since 1956.
