    Clogged drain

    We were very satisfied with the prompt, courteous, and professional service provided by Drainworks. The quality service started with William, who answered our phone call, and the competent technician, Armando, who recommended solutions and solved our major problem the following day. We highly recommend Drainworks

    Drain inspection

    The Drainworks technichian, Matt, just left and I am very pleased with the service provided. He was friendly, respectful, and knowledgable. He took the time to ask me for pertinent information, inspected my drains, and then offered informative feedback. I will be sure to call Drainworks again if I have any other plumbing concerns.

    Find and fix water leaks in the laundry room.

    I called drain works in Late July of 2011 to find the cause of a leak in the laundry room. The person that sent was extremely professional and polite. He inspected the laundry room, did some tests and found out the actual laundry machine was leaking. he answered all of our questions especially since this is my parent's first house. The only complaint i have was the price. In my opinion, the price didn't justify what was done. Please go over what you want done with the plumber before he/she starts. It will save time and money. make sure you guys are on the same page.

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Peter** We appreciate your review and are glad to hear that you were happy with the extremely professional and polite service you received. It is nice to know we were of assistance to you and your parents. We agree that you should always go over what you want done before any work begins, which is why we are confused by your complaint regarding price. A price was given to you over the phone when the appointment was booked and again when the plumber arrived onsite before beginning. It is only with our customer’s approval that we proceed with any work. Thanks again for choosing DrainWorks; we do look forward to hearing from you should you require our assistance again in the future.

    Main drain, and water line upgrade

    Recently purchased our 2nd house and for the 2nd time we used the services of drain works after a backup in our basement. On both occasions I have found them to be professional, on-time, on budget and efficient in their work. I would not hesitate to use them in the future.

    Basement Toilet Back-up

    The service I recieved was great! DrainWorks gave me an accurate time of arrival and provided me with the details of the work upfront. The service person showed me everything I needed to know about my basement drain and he clean it out quickly. The only issue I had was the additional cost for the removal of the toilet. Time permitting or with advanced notice I could have done that on my own. At the cost of the service and the little time that was expended removing and replacing the toilet, I expected the toilet removal to be included. I did feel that I was under pressure to accept the additional cost since it would have meant that the service person would leave and have to come back later. Had the service been seamless without such a decision, I would have rated DrainWorks a 10.

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Yosh** We appreciate the kind words, and are happy you found our service great. In addition, it's very satisying to hear that you like our policy of providing an accurate arrival time as well as the details for the work, upfront. In regards to the additional cost for the removal of the toilet, there is no way to give an exact price for a job over the phone, as there are far too many variables to consider with any given job. In your case, it was described it as a plugged bathtub, when booking the call, however, it turned out to be a larger main sanitary line issue, which we adressed for you with multiple services, which is the reason for the increase in cost. We certainly wouldn't have wanted to have you remove the toilet needlessly, hence the assessment once our technician was onsite. Thank you again for the wonderful review. We truly appreciate the feedback.

    Replacing kitchen tap

    Contacted DrainWorks because we had a leaky tap. We had a licensed plumber, Philip Burns, at our house within 4 hours. Philip outlined our options- continue to tighten leaking tap or replace it- clearly and I felt NO pressure to purchase a new tap. Philip even patiently waited while I contacted my husband and we made a decision. This is the second time that we have used DrainWorks and I don't even think of contacting other plumbing companies at this point.

    **Thanks Meaghan** It was an absolute pleasure reading your review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience here with others. We certainly do value your patronage and look forward to being the plumbing and drain service providers you continue to rely on.

    Drain Pipe beneath basement floor snaked clean

    Overall, very pleasant experience. This is the second time using this company after having poor experience with one of their competitors previously. Our first time was 3 years ago (2009). Friendly, courteous staff, carefully brought equipment in, laid down tarps, cleaned thoroughly afterward, etc. This was simple precaution snaking as we had previously had back-up, and all went as planned on time, etc. Company calls ahead to give delivery time window, and individual tradesman showed up on time. My only slight concern was tradesman's desire to upsell services. I understand this from a business perspective, but if I wasn't here and say my wife were to have been on her own for this visit, I feel she may have ended up with additional unnecessary camera scope work (+$300), but if you're confident in the work you need done & tell them that, they left it there. I should note my main reason for writing this review is the financial benefit in doing so. The company offers a $25 cheque back to you for writing this. You can say good or bad. Another nice touch, as we're choosing to do is to donate to Sick Kids foundation (you can keep yourself too) which apparently comes with full reciept of proof etc. Anyways, overall I would highly recommend this company & I have no personal ties in anyway to them.

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Jake** We’re thrilled to hear that you had another pleasant experience with us, especially after a previous negative experience with one of our competitors. It’s always rewarding when a customer appreciates everything we do to deliver a first rate experience to them, be it punctuality, being friendly and courteous, or taking extra precautions to ensure your home stays clean while we are there working. As we had clarified in our follow up phone call to you, the camera inspection was an additional $155, not $300, but as you said in our conversation, it certainly is a great value, and provides the home owner with accurate information as to the state of their drain line, should they want it. We always offer camera inspections on sanitary drain line calls, simply to ensure our customers are fully aware of any underlying problems that may go undetected, otherwise. Also, we’re glad that you appreciate our transparency in encouraging our customers to post reviews on us; good or bad. It helps us grow as a company and enables us to understand the needs of our customers. Thank you for recommending us so highly, and for choosing to donate to Sick Kids; we firmly believe that this is truly a win for the children, our customers, and us as a company.

    Fix faucet

    Last year Phil came and fixed my faucet. he was also the same guy from drainworks who hooked up my new sink. Phil is very friendly, and smart. He does an awesome job, always tells me what he is doing and provides the honest truth. This morning the faucet that was replaced last year was leaking. He fixed it in 10 minutes! I was impressed and able to get on with my day

    Answer from pro:

    **Thanks Greg** We appreciate your review and thank you for your patronage. It is nice to know that you are continually impressed with Phil’s friendly, honest and efficient service.

    Backed up drain

    Service was excellent. The triage person on the phone was courteous and explained things clearly. Matt was the technician sent to our house the same evening. He was professional and also very detailed in his explanation. He guessed the problem was from a large tree root encroaching on our pipes. After using the camera, this confirmed his experienced instinct! He also localized the problem and explained to us the different options as the next steps would involve the City since it was a City pipe problem. Would highly recommend DrainWorks!
