Basement plumbing

Very professional, courteous, and thorough. Came in a timely manner. Explained everything. Took care during the assessment to take off boots inside and keep the house/basement clean during the job. Cleaned up afterwards. Very respectful. Showed me his work while doing the assessment. Gave good honest advice. I recommend them and will use them again.

James, thank you for taking time and write such a glowing review for us. We have inspected the drain line with the camera and did not find massive clogs or culprits inside the sewer line. Please consider giving us a call in case of any plumbing, drain or waterproofing service you may need in the future. All the best, Dr.Rooter team!

Underpinning/drains and lowering of existing basement

We had dr Rooter in to give us a quote on underpinning and lowering the basement on a full gut renovation that we were involved in.They gave us a fair price and so we decided to employ them to help complete our project.The team they had for the job was professional,courteous and mindful of the neighbours! Needless to say the job turned out excellent and we will definitely be doing work with them hopefully for many years to come.I would recommend these guys to anyone who would want to partake in such a project in the future! Good job gentlemen,

Cheers

Replace main water supply

When we realized that we had a problem with our main water supply we called Dr Rooter. Oleg came and talked with us and was very knowledgeable. The work was done very quickly and for a fair price. Some paving stones and part of the front yard had to be removed to do the work, but they took a lot of care to keep everything clean and orderly and put everything back in place exactly as they found it.

Very happy with work, knowledge and customer service with the waterproofing that was done by Dr. Rooter! Oleg was very quick to respond and had followed up with his crew and us every step. His crew worked really very hard and ensure to take plenty of photos and checked in multiple times to ensure the work was done as promised.

Happy to have a dry basement! Thank you Dr. Rooter!

We would definitely recommend Dr. Rooter!

Flooded Basement/Waterproofing

My basement was flooded due to house not being waterproofed. Oleg and his team arrived at 3am due to this being an emergency. They stopped the flooding, dried the basement, installed waterproofing and replaced a lot of old drain/pipes, etc. Very proffesional! Will do business again!

Would not recommend to anyone

Update: Dr. Rooter is now on the CONSUMER BEWARE list.

They have refused to respond to any of our attempts to contact them and they have ignored the Consumer Protection Agency.

We have had an absolutely horrible experience with Dr. Rooter. We have a signed contract stating they would install a sump pump, a back water valve and look after city plumbing permits. Only after we paid in full did we realize that they didn’t fulfill the work detailed in the contract. They even provided us with a detailed receipt and city rebate form for the sump pump they didn’t install! (See photograph attached of the sump pump pit missing the sump pump). We wanted to withhold payment according to the consumer protection act but the owner threatened to dump waste on our property. They have been extremely unprofessional. We also used them to underpin our basement and they failed part of the city inspections and left our permit open. They took months to complete a small underpinning job and we never knew when workers would be showing up. They will not respond to our calls despite our many attempts to contact them. We would not recommend this company to anyone.

Great Customer Service, Persistence and outcome - retaining wall

I had commissioned and paid for a 6 foot high, 25 foot long retaining wall at the side of my property in 2015 and it was already leaning out visibly. It was not done properly to account for the mass of earth behind the wall, and the structural needs, but the original contractor defaulted on his warranty and left the poor work for me to fix. Steve and team came in, assessed the needs for the redo of the wall and assisted me in finding a structural engineer. He then got his team out to do the work in a really rapid manner. He and his team dealt with additional changes by the engineer, grumpy, yelling neighbours and a tricky labour-intensive job. He completed it quickly and well, and paid attention to the surroundings, ensuring that the area was kept clear for through traffic as needed. The retaining wall and laneway ended up clean and level for the multiple shared owners' use, after Steve and his team stayed till after 9 pm on a Friday night to get it done. I really appreciated the timely completion, and the end product is stable, sturdy and likely to last for another 20 years plus.
