We have dealt with your company on several occasions in the last year and we've been serviced by Alex Robinson.When he came the first time he dealt with my brother who was renovating our basement. My brother, who has worked in the construction industry for most of his career, told us that he was really impressed by Alex both for his work ethics and knowledge. Since then, he has been back twice for other plumbing work and has always provided the same type of knowledgeable service.
We wouldn't hesitate to refer Alex and your company to anyone who needed plumbing services!

DS Plumbing was patient, pleasant, and professional. The serviceman worked efficiently with the City of Ottawa crew.

Alex saved the day quite literally as our busy family was needing to get to work last weekend when we encountered a plumbing issue which left us with no showers or toilets.He was punctual,prompt and super friendly which we definitely appreciated.We loved his booties which kept all of our carpets clean and dry :)
Alex took the time to explain the issues and how he would solve the problem. We were very impressed with his professional service. Our teenage son was extremely interested in Alex's profession and he was more than willing to answer some questions and had him stay in the basement to watch the entire process. I could hear him from the kitchen engaging with him, asking him to "take a look down there,watch for this in this pipe"
He went above and beyond his service call and we have and definitely will continue to recommend DS Plumbing to our co-workers and friends in the Ottawa area.

Really appreciated Craig's patience during an unexpected visit from my mother and 2-yr old nephew. He gave me numerous tips on how to address a powder room conversion project into a full bathroom, what product to use to clean out the kitchen pipes, etc.

I also commend DS Plumbing on its association with the Ottawa Humane Society.

My mom,my sister, and I are so happy to have found DS Plumbing several years ago. Having a company such as yours to depend on completely takes the stress away from having any plumbing issues. Having strange men in your home is not ideal, but we have all felt so comfortable with anyone you have sent to our homes. Thank you!

Broken water line

When I told them of our emergency, the office staff quickly arranged to have a service call fit in to a plumber's schedule. I was apprehensive regarding the quality and cost of the work which may be done because of my emergency situation; but I needn't have worried. The plumber who came (Keith) was calm, well equipped and knowledgeable. He surveyed the damage and explained how the job fit in to the company's flat rate schedule, so there were no surprises. The main leak was fixed. Then he went the extra step and examined other vulnerable points in the lines, where he found two more damaged pipes. These were all fixed under the original flat rate quote, so this wasn't just a way to pad the bill. He showed me how he did the repairs and how he used a technique to take the stress off of the line. This gave me some peace of mind. So from the personal and empathetic response from the office staff, to the service call itself, I was impressed.

Keith is a wonderful addition to our team. I am glad you had a great experience with him. We hope that you will not have a need to use our service too often but when you call we will be there for you and do our best to send Keith back out.
Thanks for giving DS Plumbing the opportunity to perform drain cleaning.

supply to kitchen faucet

Reasonable service EXCEPT, the price was three times reasonable. More than $200/hour and this was for a twenty year old, not a master plumber. I had budget of $400 to reconnect kitchen sink, both supply and drainage, plus dishwasher tee. What I got was about 6 simple solder joints, but had to connect faucet, and had to install drainage and dishwasher myself, all for $475. Plus, they have a $50 charge to show up and estimate and it is added on to any work you get done. The fixed price table was confusing even for their plumber who hummed and hawed for about 10 minutes to find something that sort of fit my needs. I could have and likely should have sent him away but the that would have been a $50 charge and delay of a day for the over-quote. I communicated my comments to the plumber and to the company in my followup online survey so the owner cannot claim surprise about a low satisfaction. Bottom line was that service was okay, price was on the very high side. I would recommend that you do a bit of phoning around to find a competitive plumber. My DS fridge magnet has two large $$ signs etched with a sharpee so I remember.

Approximate cost of services:
$475.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
make price reasonable
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
shop around for competitive rates before calling for on site estimate

Hi Danny,
I am surprised and upset to hear you had a bad experience with us although I do appreciate the feedback.
As you are aware all of our pricing is given to you for approval prior to the work being carried out so you could have used another company our fees did not meet your budget.
I will look into the call information to see what happened on that visit. Please feel free to call the office, unfortunately we are unable to completely satisfy our customers if we are unaware of any concerns they may have.
Thank you for your time in writing this review.

The service was great. It was super fast,same day service on a Saturday.I want to tell all my friends about such great service,why stress out when help is a phone call away. It was amazing how quickly my stress levels decreased once I heard that I was being serviced same day,what a relief.
