    Upgrade of drain pipes and water service

    I just wish there was a company like Drainworks for each trade. The efficiency, quality, professionalism of the crew was something I had never seen before. I can't assess their pricing but given how good the overall experience was I'd be suprised if they were not honest people pricing fairly.

    Answer from pro:

    At Drainworks we pride ourselves in raising the bar and setting the standard to exceed your expectations within this industry. In regards to pricing, we charge by the job and not by the hour and never proceed until we have your approval first so that there are no surprises and never any hidden fees. It is encouraging that you were pleasantly surprised by the topnotch service you received from DrainWorks. Thanks again for your review.

    Drain Replacement Plumbing Fixes

    We began using Drainworks when we needed to have our drains replaced. Jeremy Harris was the technician and he explained everything very clearly, was extremely professional, and offered a very quick turnaround for the job. The crew was very efficient, left the job site in perfect condition, and the customer service department really facilitated the refund from the city. Subsequent to this, we joined the Diamond Club/Perfect Plumbing Club and have used Drainworks for several plumbing related issues. The technicians are always polite and capable, but most importantly, they are always on-time and the job is done right. There are cheaper providers but Drainworks represents good value for the money, and I'm ok paying a little more for the peace of mind.

    Answer from pro:

    Your review of our service really sheds some light on the DrainWorks difference. Our efforts are followed through to provide you, the homeowner, with peace of mind knowing that we can solve your problem right the first time, and do it in a professional, clean and timely manner. In the long run, this saves you not only the hassle of having a situation return but also the money it would take to fix it a second time. We value you as a customer and appreciate your review.

    Drain replacement, due to root breach.

    Professional, cleanly, courteous, respectful. I have never received service quite like this. Did what was required of them and left no trace that they had ever been there. I would highly recommend this crew to anyone needing plumbing or drains.

    Answer from pro:

    Your review is important to us and your account of the quality service you received describes exactly what sets DrainWorks apart from the rest. We look forward to providing you with the "professional, clean, courteous, and respectful" service that exceeds your expectations. Thanks again.

    Clogged bath tub drain

    Jeremy Harris, the technician who came to our house, did a really good job. He was here within an hour, and only left when the water was flowing freely through the drain again. I will recommend this company to friends and family, for sure. It is not the first of such service providers we use, and by far it was the best.

    Answer from pro:

    We are extremely pleased that the service you received from DrainWorks was the best of any other service provider you have used in the past. We strive to be a company that raises the bar in this industry. Thanks again and we look forward to being your expert drain and plumbing service providers in the future.

    New pipes through basement

    Mike and the crew from Drainworks was awesome. They were professional the entire job through, extremely thorough and explained everything to us as they went along. They did a really great job both in workmanship and in quality of service. We would recommend them to anyone!

    Answer from pro:

    We appreciate your review. Having full salary based employees rather than temporary commission-driven freelancers employees is what allows our technicians the time it takes to fully and thoroughly explain all repairs to you so that you can make an educated decision before we proceed. Thanks again for your review.

    kitchen sink unblocked

    Our kitchen sink was blocked, so we called Drainworks to clear the blockage and snake the drain. I felt comfortable calling them because they are always polite and helpful. I was impressed by how pleasant and efficient Matt was. I really appreciate the way they go to the trouble to leave the site tidy and clean.

    Answer from pro:

    At DrainWorks we understand that the last thing you need in a time of distress during an emergency is to have an unpleasant and discourteous technician in your home. At DrainWorks our technicians arrive in a clean truck and enter your home in a clean uniform. They cover their boots and lay tarps down. We make every effort to provide you the best service possible insuring that your choice to call DrainWorks is always validated. Thanks Again.

    Cleared+ diagnosed back up of basement drain

    We called DrainWorks, and Jeremy Harris arrived within the hour. He examined our backed up basement drain, then explained his preliminary assessment, and what he would do to further assess the problem and try to fix it. He explained it could be a one- or two-phase process, and the cost of each possibility. - Jeremy used his scope to examine our pipes both inside and downstream from our house. He invited us out and showed us what he was seeing in his scope (roots penetrating clay pipe). Because this potentially affected our neighbour, we invited our neighbour out to meet Jeremy, who then took us again through the "tour" of the outside pipes, and helped us be clear about what we were seeing. - Then, and later while we were taking care of payment, Jeremy gave us helpful advice on dealing with the City (it's their clay pipe) about what to do with the wet carpet in the basement and insurance issues. - Jeremy was pleasant and helpful the work was not complex, but we were confident with what he'd done and he was generous with his advice and time. We would gladly use his services again.

    Answer from pro:

    At DrainWorks we always keep you, the homeowner, informed on our findings and what the best possible course of action may be. We do not proceed with any work until we have your approval. Having full time salary based employees rather than commission-driven temporary employees is what grants our technicians the time it takes to ensure you understand the situation at hand and the solutions available to you so that you may make the best possible educated decision. In your situation the problems were on city side property and we advised you of such and how to proceed. Thanks again for your positive review.

    blocked sinks in 3 bathrooms

    Very happy with prompt services. Plumber (Jeremy) very friendly and explained likely problem and then dealt with it in a professional manner with little or no mess. I wholeheartedly recommend this company and if the rest of the crew is like the plumber who came to our house (same one on both visits), you will not get nicer service.

    Answer from pro:

    We appreciate your review and can assure you that your wholehearted recommendation of DrainWorks will always be justified as all of our technicians are top notch and set the standard within this industry. Thanks again.

    Waterproof back wall

    There was a minor flooding in my basement after a big rainstorm. Two inspectors (Mike Dunn and Eric Fralic) from DrainWorks arrived at my house almost immediately after the call, and managed to locate the source of leak in no time. Accidentlly they found a dead raccoon under the hedge. It was so kind of them to offer to help me take care of the digging and burial of the decomposing carcass. I would not have survived the smell of it! The digging of the 10 foot "trench" began the next day. The three Eastern European workmen (headed by Mischa) were very quietly efficient. By the end of the next day, the affected back wall was officially waterproven, with everything (hedges, soil, patio bricks) back to its place without the slightest hint of a mess. The only sign that will give away two days of hard labour is the drooped leaves all over the back wall from an old climbing ivy. The roots probably have not survived the shock. But that's about the only casualty one can see. A few days later, Mke and Eric came back for a follow-up. Since the loose soil will take a few weeks to settle down, some of the patio bricks are destined to sink down a bit. Mike promised to send his guys in one month to put some top soil underneath the bricks to even things out. Excellent job thus far! Most highly recommended.

    Answer from pro:

    We appreciate your review. Here at DrainWorks we definitely pride ourselves in going above and beyond to provide the customer service you received. We will be returning to your home to top up the soil under your patio slabs should you require it. We look forward to being your plumbing and drain service providers in the future should you need us. Thanks again.
