Replacing clay pipes

I would stay far away from these guys. We were initially quoted $4k to replace clay pipes that were blocked. After digging one hole we were told the entire line is full of roots and needs replacing to the street. We were told 3 FULL days of work was needed and 2 more holes needed to be dug. It was explained that each hole was $4k and the estimate jumped to $12k! I am inexperienced and had no idea what the job entailed but after they made it sound like such a massive job and clearly we needed to flush our toilet we agreed. No more holes were dug and it was 2 half days of work! I believe they played off my inexperience and having no knowledge of to what this should have cost. After speaking to multiple people after the fact everyone said it should, have been a $4-$5 k job which initially was quoted. After asking for an itemized bill, one of the charges is $2,600 to fill the hole! I believe we were fully ripped off!

Amanda,

I'm sorry that you feel like you were taken advantage of, I can assure you that this is not what happened. As this is the first interaction you've had with us, I understand it may be difficult to build trust on first sight. Our main business growth comes from word of mouth referrals and years of trusting relationships as you can see from our reviews.

Just so you and anyone else reading this can understand the process, I would like to explain how these kind of jobs generally work. Every blocked drain call begins with a camera inspection where we locate the immediate problem, and the client is given a price for a "spot repair" to correct the blockage. Once the hole is dug and the entire drain line is now open and dry for inspection we perform another scope to look for any additional problems. In old drain systems it seems that there a 50 - 60% chance of multiple issues. The homeowner or representative is present and can see the roots or other issues on the screen for themselves. Next steps required and possible solutions are discussed with the homeowner which may include more excavation. At every stage of this process, we discuss pricing beforehand and only start work with the homeowners approval. We do not engage in high pressure sales tactics, however any work that is postponed would obviously become more costly once the crew, tools and equipment are no longer on the jobsite.

Most of our plumbing work is broken down as "time and materials" however, drain digs are unique and the industry as a whole only works on flat rate pricing. Based on our experience and feedback received from our customers, we are still very competitive in this market.

I hope this helps.

Leak under kitchen sink in middle of the night - water everywhere!

Found the kitchen floor covered in water when I got up in the night, around 4 am. Immediately googled emergency 24-hour plumbers, only to find that the five or six I tried did not in fact answer their phones. Because I grew up in Leaside, eventually decided to give Leaside Plumbing a try... success! The owner himself answered the phone, and committed to having someone at our house first thing during business hours - 9 am.

The plumber they sent, Keith, was great... he diagnosed the problem under the sink, and also fixed another problem with the water heater in the basement. We needed a new faucet, and he advised us to give him a call when we'd bought one, so he could arrange to come back and instal it. Fortunately we were able to get one within a couple of hours, and he came back toward the end of the day and installed it.

Can't recommend this company highly enough - from start to finish, and in the course of a few hours, they solved our problem as well as a potential future problem. Tom, the owner, was friendly and efficient (even though I'd awakened him in the middle of the night!), and Keith was knowledgeable, customer-oriented, and very pleasant to deal with.

Annual maintenance of boiler heating system

Contracted Leaside plumbing to perform an annual service on my boiler system. The technician arrived on time and carried out his work with professionalism and integrity. I look forward to another warm and trouble-free winter and will use their services again.

Fixing A Gas Line

We discovered that the company who installed our gas furnace used an incorrect type of gas piping. Fortunately, it was not immediately dangerous, but it needed to be fixed quickly. We called around to several gas fitters, and found Leaside to be competitively priced and they could be over within 48 hours. The service person arrived on time, explained what needed to be done, did a clean job and was polite and pleasant. It was an excellent experience.

Great Job

We had a laundry tub replaced by Rick of Leaside Plumbing. He did a complete, professional job in a reasonable amount of time. Cost was very reasonable. He took the time to explain everything and offered many helpful hints re: other areas of the house. Answered every question. Such a nice gentleman to work with. Will recommend him to all our neighbours and friends. 10/10.

Leaking of basement stop valve emergency

When I had to briefly turn off our house water supply to check for a faulty shower faucet, upon turning the stop valve on again it started substantially leaking. Within half an hour of speaking with Tom at Leaside, he sent Rick Phillips who immediately assessed the situation, arranged for the city to close off our water service in order to make repairs and gave us a lot of additional advice on preventative maintenance on other plumbing issues in the house that we needed to look after. Extremely thorough, excellent communication, an old school professional in the best sense worth his weight in gold.

Service call - Barbecue, plumbing and bathroom issues

Jonathan was excellent at performing the installation of a barbeque and looking at other plumbing issues in our home. He was very professional and responsive. Highly recommend.

Jonathan repaired the following bathroom issues - leaky faucet and running water in the toilet. He did the repairs quickly and effectively. He also reduced the cost of the repairs by informing us that the parts regarding the leaky faucet were covered under warranty. Professional and honest - highly recommend.
