Absolute Draining & Plumbing

Poor workmanship by Absolute cost me an additional $8000 for new porch
Absolute Draining installed a new sewer line two years ago and did not properly back-fill the eight foot trench that they dug. After two winters of freeze and thaw the ground has resettled and sunk the porch post by six inches causing the porch deck to tilt to the same side. Three contractors who came to my house voiced the same opinion that improper back-filling of the trench contributed to the sinking of the brick post.

Andrew from Absolute came by to inspect and was brusque and dismissive of my concerns. According to him the trench dug six inches away from the pillar and back-filled without using a tamper was merely coincidental to the subsidence of the brick post. He stated that this problem was in no way a problem of his and he left without offering any assistance or proposals.

In my experience this company does not stand by their work and I strongly advise anyone from using their services.

I have personally used Absolute Draining and Plumbing at 5 different properties over the last 10 years (3 that I lived in myself), and have always found Vlad to be exceedingly polite, the price quotations to be fair, and their advice to be good.

I have never had them recommend any work that was not needed, and their crews always showed up on time and worked as fast as they could to get the job completed. They also always know the latest grants available from the city and help prepare the applications.

All told, they are top notch and I recommend them happily. I would recommend EVERYONE to always get their drains inspected with a camera every time they purchase a new home.

We highly recommend Absolute and we've used them more than once. They came quickly after our call. They gave us very fair prices. They did all the co-ordination with the city for grants. They gave us alternative solutions and explained the differences so we could make the right choice for ourselves. Very professional and we'd use them again.

The pipes under our kitchen sink were leaking and the toilet refill mechanism would not shut off. Another company quoted us $1,300 for the job. Mike came to the house and fixed both problems for $225.

He even came back to the house to check on the work a few weeks later when we thought there might have been an issue with the work. He stayed for about 40 minutes, checking everything over and eventually - to my embarassment - found the completely unrelated (and easily fixed) source of the water we were seeing. He asked for no money for his time and left with a smile. I will definitely call Mike again when I need a plumber.

Andrew and his team were total professionals. Andrew took his time to answer all of our questions and never pressured us or rushed us. He kept cool when city employees arrived to fix a problem with the valve on their side, and in the end our water service is lead-free and pressure is significantly improved!
His prices are very good and because of this, I will call Andrew again for all my future plumbing needs and you should too!

I had to replace my outside drain line. From three companies that I got estimate for the work, Absolute Draining and Plumbing was the most compatible. I saved about $1500 for doing the job by them. Would recommend to everyone!

I thought I could replace my own faucet but found that the main shut off valve did not shut off water completely. I called Absolute Draining and Plumbing and their office send me a plumber who arrived in about 45 minutes. Mike, the plumber who serves my neighbourhood, was very pleasant, and replaced my old faucet very quickly. He did a great job with a smile. Thanks Absolute, thank you Mike.
