Backed up kitchen/laundry drain

From start to finish, Public Plumbing was there when I needed them! Colleen answered my call and informed me that a service person would be at my home first thing in the morning. The next day, Nick called to let me know that he was on his way. I informed him that the drain connecting 2 kitchen sinks & the laundry tub was backing up. He gave me a quote and used a plumbing snake to fix the problem which was a clog from grease mixed with debris. Nick was personable, professional, clean and quick! Thank goodness for websites like HomeStars and excellent service people like Nick. I highly recommend both!

new upgraded water service and new drain

Excellent job! We checked out a lot of companies for this job as it was a big job and are happy with the choice we made. We felt their level of expertise was definitely superior and their price was comparable to others.We are very pleased with the way these guys worked. They were professional, efficient and cleaned up the property nicely when they were done. The work was done on schedule; they would have been done sooner but the city delayed on their end - resulting in them having to complete the job on a Saturday in pouring rain but they didn't complain. We would not hesitate to use them again if we need a plumber or drain specialist in future.

Drain Snake

Mike came out quickly to inspect the basement drain I had that was filling up with water and not draining correctly. Although I wanted to get a few quotes, he was adament about doing the work. He completed the work quickly and efficiently and gave me an idea of why the drain may not be doing it's job. For future jobs I have called and they haven't been as forthcoming as they could be with following up; only downfall of their services.

Leak from upstairs bathroom

Nick arrived ahead of schedule. Diagnosed the problem and had it repaired in under an hour. He had to cut out some sheet rock from the ceiling below this bathroom to expose the problem, but we're delighted to have this fixed. I highly recommend Nick and Public Plumbing!

Water Line

My fiance and i just bought a house in East York back in June. When we got news that the city is replacing the water meter, we got a water meter guy to come in and replace the meter. What we didn't know is that our water line was so old and galvanized that the company was not able to replace the meter. So what they recommended us to do was to replace the water line first. Mike- from public plumbing came in and did the inspection and gave us an approximate cost. We looked around at other plumbing company's but Mike at Public Plumbing turned out to be the most trust worthy and honest. Mike and his crew came in and replaced the water line and let me tell you they did the cleanest job ever. They were professional and took the extra step ( because they had to take out part of our lawn they laid top soil after they finished the job). I highly recommend them.

Backwater valve, sump pump

These are true professionals. Naz and his team promised to be on time and they were on time and within budget. The rebate form for the backwater valve was done for me. All I had to do was send it in. I highly recommend Public Plumbing!

back flow valve, sump pump and replacement plumbing in basement

Naz and his crew were punctual and professional. They worked extremely hard and cleaned up after their work. Naz walked me through the process to get a rebate from the City for the back flow valve and the sump pump. So my total cost will actually be about $7000.00 rather than $10000.00

Approximate cost of services:

PLUMBING

Public plumbing came to the rescue when a sewer pipe broke at our home in Markham. Mike was very professional and a man of his word. He arranged a crew that was likewise very professional and fixed the problem the next day. We highly recommend this company. Paul.
