Replacing soil stack and underground drains

We were delighted with the work done by Mike, Eric and the others. They were professional, obviously proud of their high quality workmanship and made the inevitable mess of having a basement dug up as easy as possible for us to live with. I liked the way Mike explained every step and let us know in advance what the costs would be. I was also very pleased with how they cleaned up at the end. We felt well looked after by Drainworks.

Drain backed-up

I was impressed. The team of Mike and Eric arrived quickly, and guided me through the problem. They were patient, and explained everything quite thoroughly. Mike explained the options available. There was no pressure whatsoever, and for that I was grateful.
The work done was professional and efficient.
Simply put, if you're in the Beaches, DrainWorks is the way to go. I highly recommend them. Mike and Eric know the meaning of customer service.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your review. Our technicians are full time salary based employees rather than commission-driven temporary employees, which is why you felt no pressure whatsoever, just flat rate pricing for the solutions to your problem. Again thank you and we look forward to serving you in the future.

backed-up toilet

Jeremy came to our house within a couple of hours of my call. His workmanship was top-notch as was his professional attitude. I am very satisfied with the service, though the price is a tad on the high side

Exterior waste drain blockage

Mike, Jeremy and the rest of the Drainworks team made the process as painless as possible. They were trustworthy, polite, understanding and explained the work. There was no overselling and no pressure. The recommendations on problem resolution were practical and appropriate.

Replacing main drain because of tree roots

We noticed our floor drain backing up, and I decided to call in professionals. Jeremy from Drainworks came out, did a camera inspection, located where the blockage was, and organized for the old breather and trap to be removed. He suspected tree roots were the cause, and indeed they were. Drainworks did a neat job, a thorough job, and also got all the paperwork in order for me to get a rebate from the city since the tree was on city property. There was no drama with Drainworks, which was great, and I can't thank Jeremy enough for his dedication to getting this problem fixed properly and permanently.

Clogged Drain

After making several of our own attempts to unclog our sink drain, we consulted the yellow pages and were impressed with Drainworks ad. That evening Jeremy, one of their technicians, arrived and snaked the drain 20-25 ft and we finally had our drain cleared. We were impressed with Drainworks very professional, thorough and courteouse service. Thank you again.

Drain Pipe Replacement

I called them to check out our drain for clogs and they found the old clay pipe had tree roots entering the drain in quite a few places. I gave the go-ahead to replace the pipe and they did exactly what they said they would do including a very good cleanup job afterwards. Plus they fixed some plumbing mistakes left to us by our predecessors - all as part of the project. These days, it's refreshing to work with a service provider that sets a clear expectation and then exceeds it. Thanks to Armando, Walter and the crew for your good work.

Thank you for your response and acknowledging that our actions follow through with the straightforward quote we presented to you. There is nothing worse than having someone tell you just what you want to hear to get their foot in the door, and then having a different course of action sprung on you - Terry

Drain replacement

The work was completed in a timely manner. Jeremy was very helpful in identifying the problem and determining what need to be done. The excavators kept the area clean and protected and did a good job of cleaning up afterwards. The camera inspection after the job was done helped to convince me that everything had been done properly. Thanks a lot.
