Dr.Pipe

I received two quotes, Dr.Pipe's was inline however he spent an appreciated amount of time scoping the problem with their instruments and showed me LIVE the problems with our drain. The other vendor didn’t and I was worried there would “unexpected” costs. Max and his team were very professional, maintained a clean job site and cleaned up thoroughly after themselves. I wasn't able to be home during the 3 days they were onsite, so I gave him a key. To demonstrate his professionalism as a key-holder, when someone came to the house to remove something (I was expecting them), he called me first to say "ABC" was here and "is that ok?". I'd recommend them.

I called 3 different plumbing companies to come for a quote on a job on my house in downtown Hamilton-2 local & Dr. Pipe, who is from Toronto. The 2 local companies cancelled only hours before the time they were supposed to show up for the appointment, despite my booking a week in advance.
Dr. Pipe showed up on time (despite having to drive from Toronto), gave a reasonable quote, and did the job quickly, cleanly, & professionally the next day. I am happy that Dr. Pipe will be working in Hamilton in the future, because some of the local plumbing companies can't even get it together to show up for the initial quote. I would use Dr. Pipe again for any of my commercial or residential plumbing jobs, and would highly recommend to others. Beware of the other local companies with 1-800 numbers with dispatchers.

We woke up one morning to a bit of a lake forming in the basement.

Max from Dr. Pipes was recommended to us by a neighbour-friend who had also needed a backflow valve and some of the drains under his house replaced.

Max came over and talked to my husband and I about the quote. He could see that I needed to understand what he recommended, and took the time to explain it to me, not just my husband. I don't even think I was especially friendly that day - I didn't trust anyone.

We had already gotten 3 quotes in total when we made the choice to go with Max's company. It's not just the money, it's the quality, the strategy, and the trust that tells me who I'll give my business to.

Max and his workers are reliable, honest, clean, polite and just overall nice to work with. The quality of the work is top notch and adds value to our house now that it is done. Our insurance rate went down, too.

We now also enjoy peace of mind, having already gone through a rainy autumn with no sign of water anywhere. Hearing the sump pump do its thing one night during a late-fall storm was a nice feeling.

I have every confidence that this spring, when the tree roots grow and the snow melts, the pipes will all be fine. But if not, I also trust Max to get back over here and make it right for me. I'd be shocked if he didn't uphold the warranty right away if we call him. We have that level of trust in Max now.

We've used Dr Pipes for years and they've always have been responsive and thorough. I called them recently for a leaking tap and apparently there was a miscommunication and they didn't return 2 of calls. Once they came they thought they'd fixed it but it started leaking again in a day. I had to pay a second call out minimum charge for them to ce again. I bought replacement cartridges and he installed them. The problemis resolved, but did cost twice what it should have.

Max was always available to communicate the status of the situation as the job progressed. The delays that were inevitable due to City of Toronto's delays were well managed by Max and his team. We had our main service line replaced from galvanized steel to copper, with minimal impact to the basement. I recommend Max for his professionalism and no nonsense approach, and fair pricing.

Max came to my house gave me a quote for an internal weeping tile system with pump along our back and side wall. He walked me through everything and educated me patiently. his guys started right away and were clean & professional & started at 8:30/9 every day. He handled the permit & inspection, did some extra concrete work and gave me a 15 yr. written guarantee. He also went above and beyond and also prepped the pump area in case we need to connect in the side of the house in the future. I would definitely recommend his company!

I want to thanks max for helping me with my drain problem couple days ago. His crew finished my drain replacement in basement. Loved their work, very professionally and clean. I invite couple companies for estimate and i decide to go with him because he spend his time (not like the others) for full explanation of my problem. Thank you Dr.pipe team and Max personally.

Max and his crew is prompt, personable, competitive and honest. He arrives on time and his crew is pleasant and makes sure they tidy up before they leave. We had problem with roots in our drain and Dr.Pipe solved problem with new trench less drain repair system and save our front yard. I would highly recommend Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing anytime!

A person was sent very quickly. I was not fortunate enough to get "Max" the owner. A very young guy came. He opened the walls in basement and main floor and helped identified the leakage. That's where the good things stop. The person wasn't very professional. He didn't have a flash light and had to use his small key-chain flash. He had to make a couple of phone calls to someone during the diagnosis. A small amount of water was continuously leaking out from the pipe. He said it may be from one of the washrooms upstairs. He didn't go check the washrooms and didn't have time to repair the leakage and said would come back 2 days later (with 1 day being the new year day public holiday) to fix. [I later got another company to do the repair, the first thing the other guy did was to stop the water overflow inside one of the toilet tanks upstairs. So, at least the leakage was stopped.]

I was one of six houses flooded on my street.All of us had plumbing work done and I heard only good reports about the work and price.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Max to my friends expecting they would get the same positive results.
