A home inspection on our recently sold home uncovered a leaky bleeder valve on our old main shutoff valve. One can imagine how worried we were of our house sale falling through. After some research, I called two local plumbers (I always support local businesses) and Public Plumbing was the first to not overcomplicate or over-sell their services. Their free estimate was the deal clincher.

Vlad visited my home, assessed the problem and offered some practical solutions and reasonable estimates. He didn't overcomplicate things and gave me some reassurances that we didn't have lead pipes (which could have required digging out the pipes to the street). Even when the City of Toronto messed up my street shutoff value, Vlad was accommodating and promptly returned when the City fixed their street shutoff valve (saving me from Toronto's 2x$75 shutoff fee.)

I will be using them in my new home as I already have some jobs waiting in the wings.

A leaking basement on a Friday night night and a friend called Public Plumbing. While the leak, caused by rain, was got under control, Public Plumbing turned up with a team of four workers 9:15 Monday morning - just as it was beginning to rain again. They dug down 7 feet, found the faulty pipe, replaced it, filled in the hole, tidied up and were away by about 6:30 in the evening. They did a very good j ob.

On a later date, the sump pump had become clogged with styrofoam pieces. Public Plumbic vacuumed the material out and left the equipment clean and functioning well. I was very pleased.

I had an old sewer pit in the house with improper lid, which didn't seal the pit properly, could feel the sewer smell in the basement. Called several companies and every one of them said the only way is to replace the whole pit (they can't make a custom lid for the existing one). Other companies quoted more than $4000 for the job, plus 2-3 days of work(=several days of mess in the house). I tried to resolve the issue by other means: installed a fan, tried to seal the pit in different ways. Nothing helped. A friend of mine suggested Public Plumbing as a reliable and reasonable company. They came the next day after my call, gave me a much better quote ($1000 less than other companies), did an amazing very clean job in 1 DAY! Since then, my problem was resolved - no more sewer smell in the house. The pit works perfectly and will last a long time. I am very satisfied with their services and wish I knew about them earlier and didn't spend money on other stuff that didn't work. Would definitely recommend to everybody I know.

Public Plumbing responded quickly to my call, even though it was on a weekend. My house still had old clay drains and after experiencing sewage back-ups due to tree roots in the drains I finally decided to replace the pipes under the house. The supervisor explained clearly how the work would be done (main line relacement inside, backwater valve, two floor drains and 12 feet drain replacement outside) and the crew arrived promptly as scheduled the following Monday. The job was done quickly as promised and the crew left the basement working area clean. The supervisor even called me at work during the daytime to update me on the cause of an obstruction in the outside drain. A project which could well have been unpleasant turned out to be a pleasant experience, as it left me feeling I could trust Public Plumbing and I ended up happy that I had the work done. The price as well seemed reasonable. Public Plumbing made me feel that they were working in my best interest.

I am SO glad I found Public Plumbing! They are an exceptional company that inspired my confidence immediately. This is the second major job they did for me, and both times they did top quality work for a very fair price and completed each job within the timeframe promised. They are very skilled, professional and reliable and they value customer loyalty. Now that I have met them, I would not dream of trusting my plumbing needs to anybody other than Public Plumbing!

Their workmanship was very nice. They were very neat and clean on the job site. Their overall knowledge and the price was good. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

The call was followed up within 2 hrs. and the problem was solve in lss than one hour. The technical advisor/master plumber was polite, with good advise on best technical job with lower cost, and cleanliness was another good quality customer service that surprised me.

Very prompt and efficient service, responded very quickly and charged below original quote. I will certainly recommend them again and refer my contacts to them. The team fro Public Plumbing were quick efficient and cleaned up perfectly leaving the site better than when they started.

The person who answered my call was nice and had someone to my home the next day for an estimate. The person who came to do the job was very professional and did a great job. I would use them again.

We had our bath tub getting more and more clogged up and nothing we did helped to fix the drain issue. After countless attempts, I finally gave in and called Public Plumbing. Call was answered professionally and easy, had no problems understanding each other. They were punctual, tidy and job was done in no time. I cant believe I was dreading it for so long. We are very happy they were recommended to us.
Thanks PP!
