backwater valve

I was most impressed with phone conversation with Mike (he was willing to give rough quote and some detailed explanation over the phone) and agreed for him to visit us same day and give us a quote for this service. On this visit, Mike thoroughly explained to us what he and his crew would need to do. He was courteous, and the job was done the next day. He and crew were on time, polite, and careful to not damage surroundings of the work area. The 2 gentlemen actually doing the job even waited around for the inspector to ok it, then cemented in the area same day. Later that day, Mike came in to check what they had done. The job was done quickly, tidily, and at a very comparable price to other estimates we had gotten. I would definitely use this company again and would also recommend them to family or friends. Thank you Mike. It was your manner on the phone that made us feel comfortable about using a company who we just picked out of the phone book.

repair/replacement of water line to house

Our experience with Public Plumbing was terrific.
We had a water line leak in the delivery pipe in 100ft distance
between city pipe and our house.We had previously hired another contractor who replaced a small section and assured us things would be fine.They were not, and a second leak & flood developed.
Naz to the rescue! He told us we had been swindled and explained why & how he would replace the pipe in it's entire length, do minimal damage to the lawn ,not disrupt the foundation wall or concrete walkway,and protect our interior finishes.
Naz was very patient and informative.His crew was early,hardworking,couteous and tidy.
It was a big job, done in a very prompt ,efficient and neat manner.
Our experience was very positive,and we would not hesitate to recommend this company.

It's-a-Them! Public Plumbing!

The guys at Public Plumbing (pointing at you Naz, Alexei and Andrey), were great! They showed that the best plumbers don’t always wear Red or Green, or have moustaches - reference to Mario and Luigi from Nintendo games ;-) They finished the job ahead of schedule and at a considerably better price than their competition. They arrived on time every day and kept the work area clean and tidy at all times. They were open and honestly answered all our questions. If anyone is in a bind, they can trust Public Plumbing not to take advantage of the situation. Thank you!

Scarborough Flood Backflow Valve

We had the sewage flood on July 15th and on Aug 10th the basement started to flood again. I stood on the drain for over half an hour. We called Mike at Public Plumbing and he came over, did a camera inspection of the drain while my neighbours and I questioned him about every little thing we saw in there. He explained everthing in great detail. We got a permit on Monday and Tuesday the backflow valve was done. The plumbers were very polite, covered everything with tarps, covered their shoes and did a clean neat job. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact I have.

Thanks Mike

Dear Dorothy!
Thank you do much for taking the time and writing a review about the service we provided to you. Most of the time, plumbing calls are not good calls, most of the time the client is in distress and needs immediate assistance. We try our best to make every call a priority and always put the needs of the client first. Our staff are very knowledgeable and are always encouraged to explain their steps along the way, this way you as a client are aware of what the problem is and what's the best way to deal with it. It is a pleasure to hear that our team worked diligently, with respect towards you as a client and your property. Thank you for keeping us in mind and recommending us to your friends and family. We appreciate your business and thank you for being a part of our growing family!

Clearing clogged drain

I phoned several plumbing services early in the morning to get an estimate on clearing our clogged kitchen drain. They said they'd have someone call me back, or could send someone out "this afternoon".

But Mike at Public Plumbing took my call promptly, arranged to come to my house that morning, arrived on time, gave me a firm - and competitive - cost, and set to work with professionalism and real expertise. When the snaking didn't clear the drain Mike was ready with a larger machine, which did the trick. He cleaned up everything neatly when he'd finished, gave me some useful advice on preventing future clogs and was helpful and courteous throughout. I'd recommend Mike anytime!

Those other guys? I'm still waiting for them to return my call......

Plumbing in bathroom

I would recommend this company to anyone in need of a good and professional plumber. Not only did Naz quickly unclog our sink drain, but he also recommended tips on how to prevent this problem as it did happen regularly in our household. He worked very quickly and was courteous of our time. I found his rates very reasonable and affordable, especially for the high level of service that he and his team provided.

New Water line to main valve - replacing lead pipe and changing a faucet in the kitchen

We were very satisfied by the work done by Jon and his team. Jon was very professional. The work was done on time and without much disruption to our lives. The workers were courteous and tidy. It was a major job as our water supply line was very deep into our foundation. The only recommendation I would give is to monitor the removal and transplanting of plants in the garden more, as they did not put them back correctly and I suspect one of our bushes has died with the stress. However, when Jon saw that we had to move them he had his men come back and replace the topsoil. i would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a good plumber.

installation of backflow preventor and new drain in furnace room; replacing sewage pipes out to city's line

We had a city caused sewage backup and realized that we needed a backflow preventor to protect the house from further problems. Public Plumbing was highly recommended by the contractor who did the emergency clean up so we hired them without doing any comparative shopping. While scoping the pipes they showed that there was extensive root invasion in our sewage pipes and replaced them; they also installed a new drain in the furnace room and attached the drain of the high efficiency boiler.

Naz and his team were prompt, knowledgeable and courteous.
