Repair of basement shower handle.
Out of nowhere my shower handle just began dripping slowly. I turned it, thinking it was just partially open, and water started gushing from the handle. After determining this was not normal, I got on Homestars and put out a service request. Valentin of Strong Plumbing was first to the post and was able to diagnose the problem simply from the description.
Valentin gave me his next available date, kept me updated on his whereabouts, and arrived on time. Within five minutes he was able to determine that the handle had been installed with a part missing, which caused the water pressure to slowly push out a component of the handle. He quickly replaced the part and repaired the issue.
In addition to being extremely competent, Valentin was also an incredibly nice guy who took the time to pet my (overenthusiastic) pooch who also wanted to supervise the proceedings. He also took the time to inform me of a City program which would provide a significant rebate if I cared to install a backup sump pump.
As a final note, Valentin's estimated cost was "on the money" - which is always nice when faced with the prospect of work by skilled trades.
Please note that the "approximate cost" noted below was inclusive of HST.
10/10 would hire again.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $270.00

Thank you Jeremy, was a pleasure to do work for you. Valentin
