    10 ft down

    This was an ugly job that was handled efficiently very little stress for me . They scoped they calculated and they hit the problem dead on . I have never seen two guys dig 10 ft straight down in such a organized manner . They were contentious extremely tidy and their clean up was beyond my expectations. Highly recommended DD

    Clogged sink and P-trap replacement

    The 2 plumbers, Lou and Jim, managed to fix my clogged sink and leakage within a day. They were knowledgable and professional. They also cleaned up after :) I felt that they care about their customers.

    Prompt and great service

    We had a leaky faucet at our company. We contacted a few plumbers but none were available. Drainworks came within the hour and found and fixed the issue. Their service was excellent and they charged a fair rate. I would recommend them, I am confident they would not you down.

    Quote on toilet repair. Improper solution. Unreasonable pricing.

    My tenant reported problems with three toilets. I called DrainWorks to repair because I read positive reviews online. However, the plumber failed to give the right solutions and thus asked for unreasonable price. The plumber’s diagnose and quote are as follows for 3 toilets A/B/C. A. Leaking. Toilet tank completely fails, and needs to be rebuilt with new parts. $384+HST. B. Fillvalve fails and floater gets stuck on top. To replace fillvalve. $218+HST. C. Leaking. Parts not working. Drainworks does not have American Standard parts. So client order and supply parts. Drainwork comeback another day and install. $268+HST (based on his estimated 1.5 hours labor time). The total cost would be $983.1 including tax. In addition, I will have to buy parts for the toilet C…No warranty due to older toilet. I did not hire the plumber to do the job. My reasons were: 1. the quote is way too high. The cost of labor and parts should not be that high based on common sense. 2. a plumber who does not have parts, does not know what parts are available on the market, and needs 1.5 hours to install parts in one toilet tank is not a qualified one. After I said no, the plumber was willing to reduce the quote for the second toilet to $99+HST which I did not accepted either. I paid $69+HST for DrainWorks’ on-site quote. I took a closer look at the three toilets myself after Drainwork plumber left. I managed to fix all of them with less than $20. A. Toilet fillvale and floater were working well. Only the flapper did not fit well because it had worn and was stretched. I bought a new flapper from Home Depot and spend 2 min to replace the old one. Toilet stops leaking. B. The floater was too high. I made minor adjustment and lowered the floater. It works perfectly fine. C. All parts were good. Only the flapper needs to be replaced. It is true that the parts are a little bit special. However, I bought a Korky toilet seal ring from Home depot. It is designed for American Standard toilet. I replaced the seal in 5 min. Toilet stops leaking. The flapper and seal are less than $20 in total, and it took me a few minutes to replace parts. I am young and do not have experience in plumbing. DrainWorks might be good at fixing other plumbing issues, but definitely not toilets. Replacing all the parts will solve the problem. But is it the right solution?

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Yang Liu, looking at your invoice, of our diagnostic service as you requested was to quote multiple repairs of your tenants toilets with different price options, as well as a price for client supplied. Its unfortunate you don't agree with our recommendations from our licenced plumber nor our pricing which comes write out of a printed price book. You refer to booking a call with us because of all the positive reviews keep in mind those clients experience the same pricing out of the same book.If we can be of assistance to discuss this further please don't hesitate to call our office.

    Basement Laundry Room Drain Back-up

    Over the course of a few days, we had water in our basement laundry room coming in from a floor drain during heavy rains. A neighbour recommended Drainworks, and I have also seen their trucks in the neighbourhood of 1940's homes before. I left a message before office hours and heard back first thing in the morning. I received a second call confirming exactly when to expect Jim, who arrived exactly as promised. He was professional and informative, explaining everything that the video scope was showing, and what it meant to the operation of our plumbing. Having fixed the immediate problem, which was a clog in the pipe downstream, without hard selling, he suggested improvements that should at some point be made - primarily replacing sections of original clay pipes that had not been fully addressed by previous home owners and/or renovations. All in all - job well done, with high integrity, professionalism and cleanliness. Thank you Jim and Drainworks for the excellent service and for educating me on what we will need to address in future.

    Faucet replacement

    Had an issue where I thought the pipes were broken underneath kitchen sink. Turned out, after the initial assessment, the whole faucet needed to be replaced. Jim, the plumber who came to my unit, had a faucet on hand and fixed the whole issue on spot. Took about 1 hr to do everything from start to finish. Very efficient! Reasonable pricing but definitely peace of mind that there won’t be leakage. Definitely recommend!

    Clog in the sewer? No problem

    I had a clogged basement drain. I called Drainworks and was given a super fast response. They arrived right when they said they would. The service technician’s name was Matt (I hope I remembered that correctly) and was extremely professional. He explained everything he was doing, showed me on the camera afterwards, and gave good advice for any future work I need. From the gentleman I spoke to on the phone, to the technician at my house every thing was fantastic. AND as if the world isn’t small enough, it turns out The technician was the same one that came out in 2006 when I needed most of the sewer drain replaced (from the ancient clay to new plastic) and they were amazing then too. That was a big job, but they were fast, professional and very clean. Having the same staff 13 years later reflects very well on a company. Drainworks is my “go-to” plumbing’s company I call if I have a problem.

    Clogged shower drain

    I have received a very professional service from DrainWorks - from the prompt request to my inquiry and booking a same-day appointment, to showing up on time, troubleshooting and addressing the clog and providing tips and tricks on how to keep our pipes in good shape. Thank you Matt, for a job well done.
