Fix leaky shower, check plumbing for new washer, installed waste disposal, replaced main valves
What I hoped would be a quick fix for a leaky shower faucet and a check of my water pipes for arrival of a new stacked washer and dryer became a little more complicated. Fortunately I had called Canada Wide Plumbing and averted a problem that could have been a disaster had I tried myself to turn off the main water valve in an emergency as they were seized. I had just moved into my home and called Flavio based on reviews on Homestar. Flavio responded immediately and was available the following day. As it turned out, the pipes for the washer were a quick fix, but Flavio suggested he check the entire system for potential issues. Thankfully he did and handled having the water turned off by the Town of Richmond Hill immediately in order to replace the seized valves and averted a flood in my basement. He also begged and pleaded to get the water turned back on the same day for me - as this was an unexpected turn of events (no small feat these days where the township can leave you waterless for a day or so without a scheduled appointment). Through it all, Flavio and Matt were so helpful, personable and just really great guys. Because I trusted them, I decided to move forward with getting them to install a waste disposal for me at the same time. He also got my humidifier going and gave me instructions on how to set it for winter and summer. The guys were with us for a day and a half - and Flavio did everything he could to make the final bill as reasonable as possible given the excess time not planned and the waiting required for the water to be turned off and on again. I would hire Flavio again in a New York moment. He is fair, honest, and did not take advantage of my situation which as a single mom I appreciated very much. As well, he is just a very warm, caring human being - and feel fortunate that I contacted him because of the great reviews he had on Homestars. If you are looking for a plumber that is responsive, detailed, honest and gets the job done right - Flavio is definitely your guy. (Thanks Flavio and Matt for all your help)
