update water service, replace shutoff valve

I'd been putting off replacing the ancient shutoff valve and corroded water service from the basement to the property line. When I needed the work done in a short time-frame, Public Plumbing was recommended. I found the people friendly and very knowledgeable, the communication good, the price fair, and the quality of work excellent. The job was started quickly, and was all done in one day, including excellent cleanup both inside and outside the house. The 20-year guarantee shows they stand behind the quality of their work. I'd recommend Public Plumbing highly to anyone who needs plumbing work done.

Replacing drains and installation of backflow valve

We discovered we had a sewage backup in our basement a couple of weeks ago in our 80+ year-old house. On a recommendation from a neighbour we called Public Plumbing.
I have to say that the experience was positive in every aspect. The guys from Public Plumbing came over and gave me a step-by-step explanation of what our problem was (tree roots through the drains), and how they were going to correct it.
They dug into our floors, and replaced all of the clay pipe with plastic and installed a backflow valve to prevent further problems.
The city inspector actually commented on how good the work is when he came-by for approval.
The price paid is lower than what we've heard other people have paid for similar situations.
Topping all this off - the guys left our basement extremely clean (and mid-job, with all of the earth around, I wasn't sure how it would look).

Overall:
The guys at Public Plumbing are good people. They communicate regularly with the client (so refreshing). They are reasonable. They do a great job, in the time quoted, for the price quoted, and leave it clean.

Thank you to everybody at Public Plumbing for giving us peace-of-mind and doing a fantastic job.

Plumbing Repair

We had a persistent sewer smell problem in our basement and bedroom closet. We called another plumber who quoted a $1000 smoke test in order to find the source of the sewer gas leak. We called Public Plumbing for a 2nd opinion and with some investigation Vlad was able to determine there was no P-Trap for the laundry drain and a corroded area in the original cast iron vent stack in our closet area. He fixed the problem the next day without the need for an expensive smoke test and the stink is gone. Thanks Vlad!

Basement plumbing

Hello. I was so pleased with the work these guys did for us that I had to share. I got a leak in our basement from an old pipe. I got a few specialists come in for an estimate and we went with Public, who were not the cheapest but seemed the most sincere. The guys were really friendly, informative and most of all they respected our property. We all know the mess workers can leave behind but these guys were surprisingly tidy. Five stars from me.

Leak in sink

Two weeks ago I noticed a leak in my sink which was dripping into the downstairs bedroom, so I called public plumbing which I found using this site. Within a few hours a plumber named Vlad arrived and fixed the leak. He was friendly and did a wonderful job leaving my kitchen just as clean as I left it (and I like to keep my kitchen clean!). I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to have clean, friendly, fast plumbing service.
