Mayday Drain Services

Roy and his staff were on time, efficient, extremly professional. They left the job site as clean as it was before. Very happy with the job. I would strongly recommend them for any complicated drain work.

Roy has some pretty sophisticated equipment, and easily found the problem. He has cables with cameras on the end and sonar detectors to help him locate specific problems quickly. It was a pretty neat experience watching him work. He very patiently explained things in detail also. He suggested a variety of solutions, making sure to point out the positives and negatives of each. Highly recommended if you have invisible drain/piping problems.

I needed a significant amount of new drain work done as part of a basement renovation, and my main drain trap removed (and replaced with straight pipe and a new cleanout). I called Roy after reading the Homestars reviews. When I explained the work, he put me in touch with Victor. When Victor was on site to evaluate the work, in addition to being very personable, he came accross as knowing what he was talking about. The results of the job proved that his personality was genuine and workmanship lived up to the talk. What impressed me most was his fexibility once the job was underway. When the original layout didn't work out once the floor was openned up, he was unphased and just came up with a new plan and executed it. He took the time at each step to make sure everything was laid out properly. All his connections were made properly - joints properly glued and gaskets properly torqued. It was evident he took pride in his work. As you can see from the pictures the job was big and messy. He remained diligent throughout, patched the holes properly, and cleaned up afterwards. I would not hestitate to use Victor again and I would certainly recommend him to anyone.

Mayday was recommanded by the town of Markham for sewage blockage. Roy did a good job, he made a camera inspection and told us the problem was a very bad offset from stack clearouts. We will call the builder to follow up. Roy is professional and helpful . We will recommand him to our friends.

Roy was prompt, courteous and extremely efficient in fixing a potentially catastrophic problem we has with a sewer back up. Mayday lived up to its name and came to the rescue!

I had a plugged kitchen sink that wasn't getting resolved with plunging or the use of Drano/Liquid-Plumr. To make matters worse, using the washing machine or dishwasher caused water to come up the sink and stay there. It was difficult to get a plumber to come over on a weekend night, but I was lucky to have called Roy. Although I was living in a condominium, he understood the urgency of my problem and agreed to come over to take care of it. He resolved the problem with the help of his power snake and thoroughly checked to make sure that everything. He also made sure to clean up the area before leaving, and charged me the amount he had quoted over the phone. His professionalism and friendliness has left me with a lasting impression. I will definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Roy for agreeing to come over and fixing this so quickly!

Roy was extremely professional in dealing with a very unpleasant overflow in my basement. The diagnosis was professional, the advice useful and the results spectacular. Roy Gibson was extremely pleasant and a saviour. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Roy and Mayday for drain services. Azhar Laher Thornhill,On

Job well done by Mayday. I had my floor drain over-flow with waste and water in my basement furnace room, and prior to this had the same problem but was able to snake it myself. However this time around, I thought bringing in someone with some expertise and proper equipment would remedy this issue once and for all. So Mayday's number was given to to me through a friend and I made the call, and thank goodness for that. In a short time after Roy's arrival, he was able to set up and show me exactly where my problem was in my drain system. Roy was very knowledgable and was able to explain thoroughly what we were looking at through the snake-cam. Shortly after he had the problem fixed and all was back to normal. A+++ service here folks. Thanks again Roy!

Upon discovery of a floor drain backup in the basement, I called several of the top rated contractors listed in Homestars.com. Most of my concerns where either passed on to a receptionist or a paging service so it was difficult to determine what to expect in terms of service and cost. When I called Mayday, the service technician (Roy Gibson) answered the phone. He asked pertinent questions regarding the actual problem in order to give me an estimate over the phone. He arrived quickly and managed to work in a very confined space. With the building being a century old Roy really had his work cut out for him but he never gave up. After running his electric snake through the house he proceeded to do the same outside and determined that the problem was actually in the middle of the street. He further confirmed the actual blockage with his camera. Even though he spent more time on this job than he could have foreseen, he still only charged the original estimate amount quoted over the phone. Saved a substantial amount of money by hiring Mayday! Thank You!

While at 50yrs Dayton 500 with mates, wife calls basement flooded with sewage back-up. I arrived Monday Feb 19th make a "MayDay" call to the Town of Markham. Roy Gibson is on the job 45 minutes later. Based on his experience and eye to detail, IDs the problem 50 yr old tree next door. He snakes/cuts and as they term it in the industry, out came the "horses tail". I ask about having it inspected by video camara? Roy did not take advantage of the situation; he looked at me and says, " we can perform the service at a fee however,given the amount of roots that were removed he was comfortable & camara was not needed". He knew the situation did not take advantage (very rare & honest)!
Thank you very much Sir Roy & see you in 2 yrs for preventative care!!
