Clogged bath tub drain

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!

Replace root-clogged clay sewer pipe & install clean-outs

Sewer backed up in my home (over 100-years old and fully renovated) in downtown Toronto - leaving a horrible, sickening stench. Public Plumbing (PP) was recommended by the plumbing company who was called in during the emergency. PP used a camera and showed me the obstruction on the screen - everything was clearly explained and the camera was not withdrawn until I could see the problems and fully understood everything he was explaining. PP recommended replacing clay pipe in two areas - interior recreation room and exterior in the front yard. Instead of tearing out my built-in planters (an early discussion), they burrowed under them (saving me considerable dollars) and into the rec room. Two crews were sent, one worked inside and the other outside. They knew what they were doing and carried put their jobs with diligence and care - care to my finished basement even though sand and clay was piled 5' high in the rec room and care to my bricked court yard with the built-in planters. The clay pipe was replaced and two new clean-outs were installed in the yard and my home and yard were left clean and in good shape. Then the camera was inserted again and I was shown all was clear to the City sewer and into my home right to the back bathroom. I would recommend Public Plumbing to anyone. I have peace of mind once again. I did not get any other estimates thus I have no idea if the price was comparable to other companies. As Public Plumbing had been recommended by another plumbing company and I researched them on the web and since I felt comfortable with the first PP man on the job (I felt he was trustworthy) I gave them the contract. I liked his straight-forward, clearly-explained approach to the problem. AND I'M VERY HAPPY I CHOSE PUBLIC PLUMBING - I've already recommended them to a neighbour down the street. Thanks for a job well done.

plugged drain, replacing lead water pipe into house

Borys and his crew showed up at my house on time and ready to do all the repairs. Since I was having my kitchen drain cleaned I added on other jobs that needed doing. He had three crews so that they could be done in a couple of days. They were prompt, courteous and did a fantastic job. Borys was thorough in explaining what needed to be done and why. Most important after digging up my front yard to replace the lead pipe they were able to put every stone back just as it was before if not better. They cleaned up and left my basement in very good condition. Not something that happens with trades too often.
I would highly recommend Borys and this company.

Emergency repair

We had a sewage backup as a result of a broken clay pipe from our house to the street. Nas and his crew were able to diagnose the problem in an efficient and expedient manner and completed the job, on time, on budget and with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Very refreshing change. He even called a few days later to follow up.
Strongly recommend.

Drain repair outside

I had a problem with a drain repair outside. I called a few plumbing companies and their prices were sky-high. A good friend of mine recommended to call Public Plumbing. I contacted Public Plumbing and they send their employee within an hour to estimate the damage. The guy named Borys inspected the pipe with his camera and identified the problem section of pipe right away. Borys explained that it's very common for tree roots to wedge their way into pipes.

He returned with his team the next morning and repaired the busted pipes. I had to work the day of the repair. Public Plumbing called me and advised what they would do next and then they called again once the job was complete. I hope I never need a plumber again but if I do, I'll definitely call Public Plumbing.

I am very pleased with the service and the very fair pricing. Thanks Public Plumbing and your team for your hard work!

sewer repair

We recently bought a house in a high park area. i was so much in love with my new home until the first weekend of living in there . Going down to the basement to do laundry and i found 3" of sewage on the floor. me and my husband panic and we start looking for local help. we never thought it would be so hard to get a plumber on such emergency situation as most of the calls we made was ether being on hold or service by appointment only, which we find very unprofessional for companies to advertise a 24/7 service and they can not perform it. Our experience with Public Plumbing was Great. The person who answered the phone calmed us down and gave us few tips what to do in order to stop water from coming out. 30 min later Borys arrived and he found tree roots in our pipe by using a camera scope. Their Crew came next day fix everything up as well they mentioned about lead water service . we did have an aprox number from our home inspector and quite realistically they upgraded the line pretty much next to nothing which was very nice of them to do. Me and my husband would like to express our amazing experience with public plumbing. Thank you so much

Drain

Few days back our kitchen sink had problem. It was not draining - I tried my level best to clear the drain - but unfortunately did not work out. I found the public plumbing on internet contacted them and found the professional advice with really competitive rates. We are very happy with the service provided and the best part is the way they handle it with professionalism. No doubt to recommend them to any one.
