My basement sewer drain backed up but fortunately with little mess. I was pretty sure it was a tree root (my neighbour had similar problems). I got three quotations...but called Drainworks last because they were the company my neighbour dealt with and he had a positive experience. I initally thought that I would just replace the exterior portion of the sewer drain from my exterior wall to the property line after a camera snake showed a big root in the old clay pipe ($2400 - and hopefully get $2000 back from the City). However, upon further camera snake inspection, the rest of the interior sewer drain (31 ft) was compromized and would, sooner or later, need replacing ($2900)- we are not planning to move. I also knew that I wanted to change my old 1/2" lead water intake to 3/4" copper to increase water pressure and reduce lead particulate matter ($1200). In the end, I had a sense from friends about the ballpark cost of these three upgrades and the quotations from Drainworks were competetive. I also knew, from friends, that Drainworks was reputable. In the end, the job was done quickly with a minimum of mess. Armando Gatti was the service technician; he kept me informed. I felt he dealt with me professionally. All prices incl. tax. I would call Drainworks again.
