Extensive Drainage Repair

I 100% recommend Carlo to everyone! He prioritized the job and somehow managed to keep to the original estimate, despite a number of unexpected challenges. He put a lot of care and attention into the work. I also appreciate how he always arrived early and took the time to explain everything clearly as it came up. Carlo provided knowledgeable alternatives to unnecessary work/costs that most companies would default to whether it's site-appropriate or not. He is a smart and devoted person who really prioritized this job and provided me and all of the neighbors affected with much needed peace-of-mind. Thank you Carlo!!

Drain Tile Inspection to Correction

(Late review due to being out of town).

I know there were issues with my drain tiles (having purchased an old house). Expecting the worst, I booked Carlos for an camera inspection and quote to resolve issue.

Carlos showed up with camera, showed me what he was seeing and explained to me that I do not need to unnecessarily fix all the drain tiles. He walked me through exactly where the problem is and resolved the issue for me.

I also had multiple issues with timing that caused Carlos to show up a few times (sorry). However, Carlos showed up with no issues and provided the most professional/friendly service. I definitely recommend Westside Drainage for your drainage needs.

Drainage Inspection

Recently bought a very old home and our home inspector suggested we have a drainage professional come in to check the drainage system.

I did my research and went with Carlo based on the reviews posted. Extremely happy with the choice !

Carlo came on site and went through the entire system. Carlo is very knowledgable and answered all the questions we had.

I would highly recommend Carlo if you're considering examining your drainage system.

Drainage Inspection

We had water in our heating ducts and suspected a drainage tile problem. We called Carlo, he came out to inspect the site promptly, assessed the problem and suspected it wasn't related to the drainage tile. He stayed at the site while the city came to shut off our water and gave us some great advice to do some additional troubleshooting. He also suggested a few other vendors we could reach out to for quotes for the work that needed to be done. Carlo helped us get to the bottom of the problem even after his work was finished.

Thank you for the nice review. I am finding it more common with poly B water mains 20 years or older that are beginning to fail. We were glad to help.

Exterior Drainage Scoping and Inspection

Carlo was recommended by a neighbour. We hired him to inspect/scope our external drainage system on our home which he did to our satisfaction and also provided some helpful maintenance suggestions as well. Carlo is professional and extremely knowledgeable, as well as punctual, pleasant and efficient. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to other homeowners.

Absolutely the best!

I was at my wit’s end when I discovered Westside Drainage. I had been given the run-around by another company both with the cost and the length of time they were taking to complete the work. Their promised 4-day job turned into months because they just never showed up. I was living with a trench around my house (and the front door!) for a month before Carlo arrived to fix the mess. The previous company, despite a grand website and much boasting, had no idea what they were doing. Even though the city gave them exact coordinates for my sump, they said I didn’t have one. They even told me that my drainage system didn’t tie into the city line. (Seriously?)

Carlo arrived, listened to my story, found the sump within one minute, and scoped the drains to see what was going on. He returned after the holidays to repair the drain tiles and was finished within 3 or 4 half-days. He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, capable and honest. My only regret is not having contacted him first. He is my hero! I highly recommend Carlo and Westside Drainage.

Drain tile clogged

Carlos was quick to respond and did not try to oversell me on repairs I didn't need. In fact we ended up needing a simple cleaning - he referred us to another contractor for this - which solved our drainage problem. An honest contractor in an industry where it is sometimes hard to know if you are getting a fair shake.
