A new fridge needed water piped from the sink, and Dave came the next day after the message: that is how a recent customer described a job with Silva Plumbing, adding that he cleaned up after himself. A recent customer wrote that Dave arrived exactly on time and that the area was left spotless. A 2024 customer said David arrived the morning after being contacted, with his assistant Joe, for a leak under the kitchen sink that turned out to be a waste line issue. That 2024 customer said they were offered two options, an extensive tear down or an alternate drain line, and chose the drain line. That 2024 customer wrote that the total cost was $450-900 less than the first plumber's verbal estimate. A 2025 customer said Dave pointed out that a leaking water heater might still be under warranty, handled the claim process and swapped out the tank. A 2025 reviewer wrote that Dave resolved an issue with a cast iron pipe in the ceiling, as well as issues with a toilet and sink. A 2023 customer said Dave repaired a kick heater, saving the cost of replacing it. A 2023 customer wrote that they had them come out to replace the plumbing in a bathroom and that they were there on time.

I highly recommend this Silva plumbing service. Dave arrived exactly on time to fix the issue in my home. The work was completed efficiently, and they left the entire area spotless. It is rare to find this level of professionalism, speed, and honest pricing. I will absolutely use them again for any future plumbing needs.
Had a last minute job my fridge went bad on me, bought a new one needed help with piping water from my sink to the fridge. Dave came the next day after I messaged him did a great job, cleaned up after himself & was extremely pleasant throughout the whole interaction.
Dave is reliable and reasonable. He was able to resolve an issue with a cast iron pipe in the ceiling as well issues with a toilet and sink. I highly recommend him.
Dave Silva has demonstrated he is a man of his word. Honest answers and pristine plumbing every time. A True professional I would recommend.
I called Dave when I noticed my water heater was leaking and the heating element had stopped working. While I was giving him the specs, he pointed out that it might still be under warranty and offered to contact the manufacturer to check. Once the warranty was confirmed, he handled the entire claim process and swapped out the tank. I couldn’t be happier with the service—and he saved me a ton of money!
