Major drain excavation (basement) to replace bottom of cast iron soil stack (install clean out, install trap for washer), install new PVC pipes, new wye for bathroom fixtures, new toilet drain and new floor drain.
Plus, snaked main drain to city portion.
My experience with Valentin and Strong Plumbing was excellent. Val came recommended from a neighbour who had similar drain issues, ie major issues with roots clogging the main drain. (Neighbour replaced their main drain from stack to city connection.)
I hired Val the first time to snake the main drain, thinking I'd get another year of service before considering upgrading the entire marion. He spent three hours assessing the situation and snaking the main (he pulled out a shopping bag worth of roots), walking me through the issues via camera in main, all my options, and providing a detailed quote for major work (broken down into 3 options).
I liked that he listened to my needs, and built a quote that allowed me to prioritize the scope of work based on my budget, timeline, and potential future major renovations. He also gave me his honest "if this was my house" opinion.
Well, what do you know? Three days later I put in a call to Val that I have a partial blockage and want to move forward with the first priority fix. This was December 30. Val immediately moved a few things around and got a crew in on January 3. Thankfully there were no surprises (my house is 100 years old) and the work was completed on time, on budget, and is of high quality.
The crew did a great job of containing dust and dirt, and walked me through the details of the job on completion.
Everything is now flowing smoothly. I highly recommend Val and Strong Plumbing.
