Birnie Thos R & Sons Ltd

Had my rented unit with a repeat problem of both toilets not flushing.
The service right from the telephone call through to the after-service follow up call has been very good. The plumber was on time, clean, helpful, courteous, took off his shoes, etc. I could not have asked for anything more from a customer service stand point.
My one complaint would be the pricing. $255 for 2 flapper valves and one handle seems a bit high to me. I was expecting in the $150 range, maybe $200. Since I know the valves at Canadian Tire to be around $20, the bill shocked me.
I would be happy to use them again, but would certainly shop around for better pricing before committing.

The technician, David, was very thorough, explaining everything to me and offering me a list of the services that could be performed. I choose the service that included videoing the main line, which proved to be very advantageous as the line was clogged with grease, which we could see with the camera. David worked long and hard to clear the line as he and I did not want to have to use the hydrosrub option to clean the line, which is the most expensive option. He discovered we have 'bellies' in our line which meant hydroscrubbing would not have helped. After a couple of hours of effort, David managed to clear the line. Because of the bellies, I had a locate done which will aid in locating and repairing the bellies in the line.

I plan to have Birnie's do the plumbing work for us as we are about to start some kitchen renovations.

I am pleased with the service provided by David K. He was professional, informative, and wanted to make sure that I understood all the options before he started the work. He worked happily in a very stinky environment! He cleaned everything thoroughly and ensured that the work was complete. I know that the prices are set by the company, not the technician, and I find the prices high, but the quality of work is good.

Our story begins with a horrible sewer smell wafting through our home and our drains making gurgling noises when we would flush. Birnie & Sons sent a technician within 24hrs. Bryce was professional, patient and informative. He completed the job in a few hours. He was fabulous to followup with us the following day. Thanks Bryce and Birnie & Sons!

David K turned a plumbing installation into an experience. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and excited about plumbing. It was a real treat to have him install a washer hookup for us. He explained options regarding bringing the pipes straight up vs. a laundry box and made it a "plumbing work of art". I have never seen anyone so excited about plumbing, he was great! My wife thinks she heard him actually singing about the job as he was going about things.

I highly recommend Thos R Birnie & Sons and we would not hesitate to call again, and we will ask for David, to be sure.

Very happy with the service call. Technician David K arrived on time and made sure I understood the options before proceeding with the work. He completed the job and cleaned the work area in acceptable time. There were no hidden costs and ensured my satisfaction with the work completed before leaving. For such a disgusting problem, David was a professional solution.

We were very pleased with the work we received from all the employees . The had to dig up our laundry room floor, replace the sewer line,install a lining in the crawl space , install a back water valve and put in a new liner from the house to the city property line. The job was completed on time, the crews were professional, polite and very patient with our questions.

This company is AMAZING! The emergency response is excellent and Bryce (who was at my home most recently) is not only incredibly skilled and professional, but also very reassuring in terms of dealing with a crisis. I highly recommend this company and suggest to all whom I know to become a "service member" with Thos Birnie because it is worth every cent up front for the great service you get going forward.

This job was handled very well despite complications. All installers were friendly, courteous, and on time. Work was done very well to our knowledge. Clean up was great.
At the end with a tiny leak and question regarding damaged door, it did require some persistance on our part to have this resolved.
However, overall we are pleased and will likely use Birnie's again.
Thanks :)
ps. Gift basket to say " Thanks for Business" was an awesome surprise!
