Replaced a section of main drain
Our floor drain had overflowed a small amount but fortunately I discovered it before it got too bad. I called one of the larger plumbing companies to come and snake it out. Unfortunately they where unable to get through the clog as it was located in an exterior p trap. They gave me a price of about $3200 for the repair so I thought I would check out some other companies. I called about 4 companies on Homestars and got quotes from $2400 to $3000+. Fortunately I also called Valentin at Strong Plumbing and got a quote for $1900. He understood what was required and quoted a good price right from the start. I had another company offer to match the price after quoting $2400 but how can you trust someone you over prices the job by $500 in the first place. Valentin's team showed up when he said they would, they were very friendly and they did a great job. The pipe was under the front porch which required that they remove deck boards and move furniture but by the time they were finished and had left everything was back in place and you wouldn't know that hey had been there.
Valentin also did a camera inspection of the pipes and showed me areas that had a bit of shifting but told me it wasn't bad. He could have told me that everything needed to be replaced and I wouldn't have known any better. I appreciate that he didn't use any scare tactics to inflate the job.
I will recommend Valentin to friends and neighbours.
