They resolved my problem

After a terrible rainstorm weeks ago my carpet in basement was wet in centre of room. Drain backed up, had a carpet company take off wall-to-wall to reveal drain. DrainWorks scoped to show a trap from when this 1920s home was built, which had to be removed as well as too many tree roots from the Toronto tree out from. I hired the, to dig down, take out trap, remove tree roots and replace all exterior pipes. Excellent team and quick and professional service. Hoping all will be well in the near future.

repair to exterior drain pipe

We have used Drain Works for a number of plumbing issues in the past and were very satisfied. When we had a drain blockage we called them first. They were able to identify the problem and scheduled a date for the repair quickly. Our front garden had to be dug up. The problem was confirmed and the repair completed quickly. The drain system was checked with a camera and tested thoroughly to ensure the problem was resolved. The garden was restored to original condition and all debris removed. I was very satisfied with the care taken and the thorough approach. They are very conscientious and I would recommend them. any plunbin

Drain scope and repair

I called Drainworks to have my backed up drain checked. Lou was dispatched to check with a camera and showed up on time. He was very courteous and gave an estimate. I proceeded with the work and they were fast and clean. Very happy with their service and I would highly recommend them!

Clogged pipes

Wonderful service! Polite, friendly, and professional.
Would recommend to anyone. The front end staff was very helpful as well, and worked to get someone to my place ASAP. Have used Drainworks each time we needed help.

Basement bathroom

Call Drainworks because our basement washroom toilet was leaking around the bottom. They came over and took a look at it and replaced the toilet and seal. They also put a camera through the pipes to confirm if there were any other problem. They were very professional and gave me a competitive price and did all the work quickly and neatly. I would recommend they to anyone.

Basement Pipe and Drain Replacement

We have been helped by DrainWorks, on a few occasions, over the many years we have been in our North Toronto home. So when we had a backup problem with our Basement drain last week, one thing that helped us not panic, was we had no doubt about who to call. Sure enough, Drainworks sent Jim to help us within an hour. In short order, Jim had diagnosed the problem and given us the information we needed to feel comfortable giving the go ahead to replace the main pipe that connected up to our new backwater valve. While we could have just replaced a portion of the pipe to get a better join to the backwater valve, we decided to replace all of the main inside pipe that runs from the City drain to our drain. We also, replaced the drain.

The work was scheduled for the next Monday 8:00 am. Jim had advised that it may not be him overseeing the work but another team member and his crew would take great care of us. On the dot of 8:00 am that Monday, the door bell rang and it was Lou from DrainWorks. Lou and his team including Andrew, Misha and Roman were just fantastic. From the moment they arrived, we knew we were in good hands. We had just had some drywall and lighting upgrades in the Basement and great care was taken to prepare the site for minimum disruption and damage. Lou advised that once the first part of the excavation was done, he would be able to assess the condition of other branch pipes. Once more exploration was possible, Lou’s knowledgeable, thoughtful and patient approach helped us better understand what he was recommending and why. Once we had all the information we needed and gave the go ahead for further work, there was doubt in our mind that we had made the right decision. Everyone worked so hard and stayed later so the job could be done in once day!

We were invited to visit the Basement, a number of times during the day, for updates on progress and to answer any of our questions...WOW! When the crew were finished, Andrew invited us to take a look before they left. We couldn’t believe how they had cleaned up the work area. It was a big and messy job and it was hard to tell they had been there except for the newly cemented areas...WOW again.

Thanks for everything, we couldn't have asked for a better crew.

Bathroom plumbing

I would like to thank DrainWorks, Chris in particular, for a job well done .
Right from the consultation to the special request for the bath tap replacement. Chris took on all our requests with a good professional attitude, everything went smoothly and we are pleased with the end result.
This is the second time that we’ve used DrainWorks, the first time it was Jim and he also did a great job of looking after us.
Shout out to JP for handling questions and being the go between.

Plumbing

I've relied on Drainworks service for all our plumbing needs for over 15 years. I have used them for interior plumbing as well as major drain issues. From the job coordinator, to the plumbers, they are very accomodating, thorough, and above all professional and reliable. Their project reports are very detailed with breakdown of all costs and any future quotes. You get what you paid for.
