Strong Plumbing Inc. reviews (1884)

The main drain under my kitchen sink was too high and caused major clogging every few months because of standing water and grease in the trap and connecting pipe which were a lot lower than the main drain. I had lived with this mess and smell since I bought the house 5 years ago and actually dreaded going to the kitchen to use the sink. Every time I’d called a plumber in the past they would just clean out the clog but no one wanted to tackle the job and solve the problem until I found Valentin in Homestars. Valentin knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it permanently. He came over the next morning and within a few hours had reconfigured all the pipes so that the main drain was lower than the connecting pipe and perfectly attached to the trap. The plumbing now works the way it’s supposed to and no more clogs and disgusting odour. He also cleaned up and left the place exactly as it was before the job. Valentin is a highly skilled Plumber who saved me a lot of grief and made my life so much easier and stress-free at a very reasonable price; best $500 I ever spent! I’m going to hire Valentin again in a couple of weeks to replace my old kitchen faucet because now that the plumbing issue is fixed, I love my kitchen again and want to do other improvements (can’t wait). If you are looking for an honest, reliable, highly-skilled professional plumber at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Valentin. Mary East York

I had a project to change kitchen faucet. I sent the picture of the new faucet to him before he started the project. The project was done fast. After two weeks the faucet became loose; when I called and report the issue to Valentine, he mentioned it is not under warranty and i have to buy another faucet! and I have to pay another time for the second faucet. Overall I can say pricy and not reliable.

The faucet in our bathtub failed unexpectedly one morning. I found Strong Plumbing on Homestars and contacted Valentin on the strength of his online reviews. Am I ever glad I did! Valentin got back to me right away, asked for pictures via text to help clarify the issue, and then spent quite a lot of time trying to source our original fixtures to see if they could be repaired rather than replaced. When it became clear they had to be replaced, he then thought of a creative solution that meant we didn't have to break the tiles in our shower to install the new fixtures. He arrived exactly as scheduled, carried out the work in a careful and professional manner, and gave us some very helpful advice on a couple of other issues elsewhere in the house. The price for the work was very reasonable. We were truly impressed with Valentin's care and commitment to his work. We have found our 'go-to' plumber and will never call anyone else. We recommend him most highly!

We are currently re-finishing our basement, and during construction, our contractors found areas of the floor wet - they dug it out and found that the sewer pipe was cracked. We found Strong Plumbing on Homestars and gave Val a call. He came out to take a look within 1.5 hours of me calling him. Due to the age of our house, he said that there were most likely cracks further along the clay pipe and he recommended that the best solution was to replace the entire length of the sewer pipe from the bottom of the soil stack all the way to the front of the house close to where it would meet the city's pipes. While they were here anyway, we also had them install a drain by the furnace connecting to the main sewer pipe, as well as a back water valve. We found his quote to be very reasonable, given what needed to be done. Val had his crew (Dennis + 2 others) come out at 8am the next morning and video inspected the length of the pipe. And as was suspected, it was cracked in a few more places and had tree roots in some other areas of it as well. They used what they call a Torpedo to take out the old pipe to replace it with the new pipe (minimizes the amount of floor being dug up). They finished everything in 2 days (including re-cementing the floors) and left everything very tidy and clean. These guys are definitely our new "go-to" plumbers and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Our main water valve was seized and we had to coordinate appointments with the town and a plumber. Val was punctual, professional and did a quality job in a short amount of time. He wore shoe covers and cleaned up after himself. He stayed in constant communication through text messages to ensure everything was in order even after he left the job site. I will call Val any time I have a plumbing job I can't manage on my own. A true professional and a gentleman.

The pipe to our garden tap snapped after the hose pipe was attached. We had water everywhere,and the inside tap to shut of the water had siezed. We had water poring out onto the garden. I called Valentine having searched home star reviews. He said he would come next day at around 9am. We shut off the water from the mains. Next day he arrived on time. A new garden tap was installed and secured properly to the wall, unlike the previous company who secured a new tap to an old piece of wood.He installed a new water shut of valve inside the house and left instructions on how to switch off before the winter. Fast, super polite, efficient clean and did not charge a call out fee. His price I felt was extremely reasonable for the time spent. Would recommend highly,

Val arrived promptly at 7:00 a.m. submitted a quote(which was very fair) He was professional in his approach and very aware of what is important to the customer as he used boot covers when walking through our house. the completed work was done very efficiently and of excellent quality.

I found Strong Plumbing on Homestars. Valentin came to our house as scheduled. He was friendly, courteous and very efficient. He assessed the situation, provided a quote and his crew got to work the very next day. They did an excellent job and were respectful of our property. Look no further. Valentin is clearly the best and we are thrilled to have finally found our go to plumber.

My shower tap had broken off and as a result i had to turn off the water in the entire house. I called Valentin and he responded quickly. after a quick conversation and sending him some pictures of the parts, Valentin came over and quickly resolved the issue. He is very polite and respectful and he got the job done quickly. I would highly recommend him to my friends, family and neighbors. Thank you Valentin.

I called Valentin early this morning very panicked about a leakage! He is such a responsible person. He kindly stopped by within an hour, quickly figured out the problem which was a minor one and relieved us immediately. Fixed the problem in less than hour! very professional, a true gentleman. We are absolutely happy with his service. Finally we have found a plumber that we can fully trust!
