Valentin at Strong Plumbing is truly one of a kind. We had a problem in our master shower with what looked like an old faucet system that only put out hot water. Various handy-people came in and said they didn't recognize the hardware, and so we'd probably have to replace the faucet system which would practically be an entirely new shower. We also had a smaller problem with another shower.

Having found Valentin on Homestars, I texted him and he said to send him a picture of the hardware. He texted back quickly and said I could find the parts I need at Roman Bath Centre, and who to call. That person got me the parts and Valentin installed it, working great. He also said to call Riobel for our second shower since not carried at Roman, and I got the necessary parts from them under warranty.

Valentin then fixed both showers, and in the meantime gave us tips on what else we could fix around the house, but never once pressured us to call him for the additional work. He just gave some tips and said what to watch out for, and where we could fix it ourselves. He is extremely trustworthy and honest, and we'd call him again for any plumbing needs. The reviews are all on point, and we'd highly recommend him too.

I first used Valentin about four years ago to install a backflow shut-off valve on my very old house.

While he was here, he scoped my drain pipes. I had thought I might need to change them. Reason for that is that they were the original clay pipes and had been in the ground for decades, possibly since 1908.

Valentin could have easily taken my money and replaced them, but on inspection he said the clay pipes were in amazingly good shape and said there was no need to replace them.

A few days later, his crew arrived and installed the backflow valve. The install went well. Val ntin’s crew were professional, courteous, and did a great job.

Since then Valentin has been back to check the backflow valve. The reason for that is that the valve worked and blocked incoming sewage. However, we continued using water as normal and a small amount of that water and waste from inside the house ended topping up our floor drains.

He checked the valve, scoped the pies from the valve to the street and pronounced everything to be normal and good.

Recently, problems originating from a neighbour renovation project had me call Valentin once again. The neighbour had done several things that had adversely affected my property and I was worried that a new project across the fence might have adverse effects on my drain pipe.

Valentin came over, again scoped my pipe and again told me that all was OK and that I did not have to rake any action for kite some time. Calentin could have easily talked me into doing something that was not necessary, but he did not.

Valentin is a great guy. He is honest and will treat you fairly.

I have recommended Valentin to several neighbours and they have been extremely pleased. If you have a drain problem or want a backflow protector installed, give Valentin a call. You will not regret it.

I have used Valentin on several occasions in the past and he has always done a superior job. He is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I did not hesitate to call him when my toilet wouldn’t flush recently. I explained the problem and he asked me to send some pictures of the toilet. He then advised me on how to fix this problem on my own! He is incredibly honest. He was absolutely correct that it was easy, took five minutes and $6 to fix.

I had a problems with a leaking faucet and was not able to completely shut off water to the hose outside. Strong Plumbing did a great job with installing a new faucet and replacing the outdoor water shut off valve. They were conscientious and prompt and their pricing was fair. I highly recommend them.

Valentin is fast, reliable and professional. We have used his services several times and are very pleased. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so.

Years ago Valentin replaced the lead-in pipe for my East York home and since has been a tremendous help for various plumbing issues. Most recently he provided the most economical / smart solution to rework the laundry/new bathtub installation. I am so pleased especially after consulting other plumbers. I trust him 100% and the Strong Plumbing team are qualified, efficient & very pleasant. They scheduled to work with the contractor completing the job. Super to have it all resolved & will count on Valentin for future work. Great guy! ?

Efficient and prompt service. Gave us many tips on maintenance and future work. So glad we called Strong Plumbing. Will definitely use them again.

I contacted Strong Plumbing after reading all the positive reviews on Homestars about Valentin. It didn't take long to see why everyone posted such positive reviews. I could not be more pleased with the work Valentin did. He arrived exactly when he said he would and explained everything to me about the work that I needed done in the kitchen and in the bathroom. He told me what I needed and what I didn't need. The work was done quickly and everything was left clean and tidy. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I know I would not hesitate to call him again for any plumbing issues down the road. I have already told some friends about him and would not hesitate to recommend Strong Plumbing and Valentin to anyone who needs plumbing work done. Thank you so much Valentin. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Valentin was true a professional from our communication beforehand, to entering the home and putting on shoe covers, and when walking me through the process of his work. Our countertops and sink were updated recently so Val was hired to install the new faucet and change plumbing from a double to a single drain. Val shared knowledge and made recommendations to our builder basic components. Everything was clean and meticulous and what I valued most was he genuinely cares about doing things right. I'd hire again if need be - Thank you - TM
