    replace old drain line and trap

    old sewer drain line out in yard- with old trap system. Sewer and water backups in basement. Drainworks fixed it in a timely manner and was very professional. The guys they had doing the digging were amazing! they followed my suggestion and tied my cedars back so they were not damaged. That saved me a big headache.

    snaking out the drain

    Alex originally fixed my plugged drain problem two years ago and resolved it to my satisfaction. This time I had a routine snaking to prevent problems in future which he had recommended. He is on time, give excellent advice, and does not recommend something unless he truly believes it is going to be needed. He gives the pros and the cons of any situation. The Drainworks people are very professional and extremely accomodating.

    Plumbing

    We called DrainWorks to come and install a new faucet in the kitchen, and fix a stuck knob in the shower. A plumber came and was nice enough, but quoted the job at close to $1000 which we thought was outrageous! We sent him away but were still stuck with $69 + HST fee just for him to come in. Later we found that by checking the knob in the shower, he had actually twisted too hard and broken it completely. When we called DrainWorks to complain, they refused to shoulder any blame, initially claiming that we were wrong, and then telling us it was our fault for not watching the plumber the entire time he was in the bathroom-- and refused to refund us any of the charge. We called another plumber who completed the job very quickly for $230. We will never use DrainWorks again-- outrageously expensive and lacking in basic customer service.

    Answer from pro:

    Cia, you called us on behalf of the home owner to assess a broken shower control; this was obviously broken before you called us, hence the need for the call. You agreed to pay $69+hst for a visual assessment ONLY of this broken control; so it is puzzling to read that you felt you were “still stuck” paying the $69 fee, since it was understood upfront that you would be paying it regardless, and it was in no way a surprise fee. As a result of the visual assessment, we provided a quote to address the broken shower control for $319+hst, minus the assessment fee (not the $1000 quote you claim). The home owner declined proceeding with our quote saying he would “attempt to fix it himself”. We received a call a few days later from the owner, advising that the shower control was broken and that we were now responsible to repair it at no charge, despite us never having touched it, never having taken any tools off of our truck, and the owner never going ahead with our quote. We reminded the home owner of these facts. Our recommendation proved to be the correct solution, as the other company did the proposed repair at roughly the same price, which is why it is also puzzling to read that you believe DrainWorks to be “outrageously expensive” when our quote was a mere $20 off from the one you proceeded with. Our signed invoice and documentation regarding this visual assessment and quote that followed, backs up the facts that we have stated above. Looking at our 1200+ reviews here, it is evident that DrainWorks, always provides service with the utmost transparency and integrity, day in, and day out.

    Installation of cleanouts, clearing clogged pipes and hydro jetting

    I've had several companies over to look at a backed up floor drain in the basement. DrainWorks was by far the most responsive and offered the greatest amount of advice and options. Their professionalism is stellar. When the guys were on route, their office called to let us know they would arrive within minutes. When they left, their office called again to ensure that we were satisfied with the service we received - and we were. The guys were very knowledgeable and they did not try to upsell me on anything. They took the time to explain everything to me carefully and then they let me make my own decision. I will always be calling on DrainWorks for any future plumbing needs. I was very impressed!

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Gerald* It was a pleasure reading your review and learning how impressed you were with our service. We do set the bar high when it comes to customer service, and we are very happy to know that our efforts were both acknowledged and appreciated by you. Thanks again for choosing DrainWorks. We do look forward to being the plumbing and drain service providers you will continue to rely on.

    Replacement of clay pipes

    Our pipes backed-up and the Drainworks plumbers were quick to diagnose the problem of tree roots growing into our old clay pipes. They were very good at explaining various options to solve the problem and did not push us to do the most expensive one. On the day of the repair, they arrived on time and were very professional and had the work done the same day despite very rainy conditions which made the work more difficult for them. Throughout the process they showed us the repair work at the site as well as using their cameras to look within the pipes.

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Michael** We are grateful for the review and thank you for sharing these kind words regarding the positive service experience you had with DrainWorks. It is very rewarding to know that you were so pleased with our professional diagnosis and diligent efforts to complete the repair in a timely manner. Thanks again, we look forward to being the plumbing and drain service providers you will continue to rely on.

    Living in a 90 year old house means you get to know your drain people! Drain works has definite repeat customers for life from us. Every person they have sent to our house over the years for everything from root clearing to pipe installation to leak detection has been clean, efficient, early and honest. Most recently Frank and his team came and fixed several issues with our drains over a number of days. They are total lifesavers! I would and DO recommend them to everyone. Thank you. Thank you.

    Clay pipes replaced

    Armando and team were excellent from the moment I phoned when my sewer backed up. They were on site within 2 hours, diagnosed the problem and thoroughly talked me through the options for repair. They even phoned up to offer me a cancelation spot so the job was done early. Their crew was polite, efficient and very tidy. They stayed at the property until the job was done. I would strongly recommend this company to friends and family and will look to them again for any future work I need completed. Excellent service!

    Drains and Plumbing

    Over the course of managing our recent drain issues, we dealt with several members of the DrainWorks team. All of them were professional, took the time to explain the work being done and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We had four services provided, including the insertion of a backwater valve and redirection of plumbing. All of the work was completed within an acceptable time frame. We'd be happy to recommend them in the future to friends and family with plumbing issues.
