A Mc Kenna Plumbing Of Oakville

I had a leak coming somewhere from in my shower running behind the wall to my kitchen below. A potential nightmare scenario. Being new to Mississauga I did not know a trustworthy plumber to call. Another trades person recommended I call Mark of A McKenna Plumbing. II did and can't tell you how happy I was not just with the service he provided, but also how ethical Mark was. Mark showed up on time, quickly found the problem and also took the time to explain it all to me. It turns out, the cause of the problem was so minor it was something I could fix myself (though never would have been able to figure out what it was if not for Mark's help). Because Mark was able to determine the problem so quickly, he told me not to even bother to pay him for stopping by. If you need a plumber, call Mark.

Recently purchased Aquasana whole home water filter and hired McKenna to install. They were unsure about the PVC fittings that the product came with but I pushed to use them as they were "Factory". Fast forward 4 months and the fitting did indeed sag and then start to leak. Mark came back and 1 hour later all PVC was out, copper was in and no leaks. Should have just done that out of the gate and I would encourage anyone installing a similar system to pay just a little bit more for a rock solid install. Thanks for the quick turnaround, good advice and fair price.

Yes I would recommend them to my mother, in fact she is just about to rech out to them to have some work done.

In the past year we have been dealing with a pretty serious venting/plumbing problem and were quickly reaching a point where our home was becoming unbearable to live in. Having met with over 6 plumbers and feeling like we had exhausted every possible solution we took one final shot and luckily found Mark and his team. Mark, unlike the other plumbers we had met with took genuine interest in solving the problem and was willing to go the extra length required to resolve our issue. In under 3 hours Mark was able to diagnose and fix a problem that had burdened us for the last year. I would confidently recommend Mark and his team to anyone with plumbing needs.

Mark McKenna is a very polite and down to earth person. It is really nice to see someone that is honest, reliable and guarantees their work that you can count on.

I found A McKenna Plumbing on the web. Gave them a call along with a few other plumbers. I chose Mckenna because they first of all showed up on time to quote me and then actually showed up on time for the job. The nice thing was that I got exactly what I was expecting at the exact price I was expecting. These guys came early in the morning over the weekend were very professional and friendly. I have nothing but positives to say about this company.

A. McKenna plumbing staff have worked at my house doing various plumbing jobs and they have always surpassed my expectations. I find them to be professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They are quick to respond in terms of phone calls and visits and always charge me a fair price for their work.
I have met a lot of tradesmen since we started to do small projects at our house and Mark and his team stand out. I always recommend them to my friends and family. Will for sure call them again!

Mark and his brother came over the same day that I called them to help me understand why my toilets were blocking intermittently. They helped me understand that the problems were related to the age of two of my older toilets, rather than a main drainage block as I had thought. The other toilets in the house, which are newer and more robust, did not have the same problem. They didn't charge a thing and gave me good advice on my next bathroom reno project as well. I will certainly call them again.

I have been a local basement building company for over 22 years, and had been very satisfied with the plumbing contractor I had been using for the last number of years. Sadly Mike chose to retire well before me. After much asking around for a new plumbing contractor, I kept hearing the same name time, and time again. I finally picked up the phone and called Mark at A. Mckenna Plumbing and was delighted to actually get a live voice on the other end, which is not common in the renovation industry ! From the first meeting with Mark, to the actual implementation of the clients wishes, the overall first job was met with a high degree of knowledge and professionalism. Between Mark and his associate plumbers, the experience went off without a hitch, in an industry that is known to be wrought with shortcomings.
Mark, thanks so much, I look forward to working with you again soon. I would not have a problem what so ever in recommending you to clients, family, and friends. Thanks again !

I'm shocked at all the positive reviews Mark has received! I do know that he prefers to do wealthier homes because people are more willing to pay for services. Regardless, his appearance may seem professional but, I assure you, his work is not! Stay away, not worth the headaches! Caught him sneaking out of my house to go do another job because he likes turnover! Wants to take on as many jobs as he can. Unfortunately, the functioning of my plumbing suffered as a result! Long story short. Installed toilettes that leaked. Installed a drainage pipe for a sink and now I can't close the drawer because he didn't measure the length of the pipe correctly. Installed my soaker tub incorrectly and now the overflow drain does not match up with it's opening. Installed the sump pump reservoir incorrectly and now the resevoir/container that holds the actual sump pump is slowly rising up being squeezed up by the surrounding rock. Installed a drainage pipe for my sink that leaks because the actual pvc pipe is cracked. I could go on and on but, I won't. All I will say is that the Oakville inspector that saw his work on my home say's it some of the worse he has seen. Move on to someone else before you go to this company. BTW - never takes responsibility. He constantly blames his colleagues for anything that he serviced. Very arrogant!

update***
Mark was the 2nd plumber that worked on our home after we let go the first plumber to which “Mark” agreed had overcharged us for the work they had done. However, the first plumber(s) we let go PASSED the town of Oakville's rough in inspection stage! “Mark” agreed to do the finishing work in our home that included the soaker tub. However, after his carpenter did not build the soaker tub box correctly as per “Mark's” direction. “Mark” wanted to charge us for the additional cost of aligning the overflow pipe to the overflow opening!? The town of Oakville does not generate reports on items incomplete and “Mark” knows this, that’s why he’s asking to see it. However, they do specify whether an inspection has passed or failed. “Mark's” work for the final inspection of our plumbing inspection Failed! It is on record with the Town of Oakville as a 'Fail". Feel free “Mark” to ask for it if you wish! As with his other work. Toilettes, Faucets and Sinks. They can only be determined to work once you have had a chance to use them. “Mark” did not offer the opportunity to use them. I had to pay immediately when he was finished! This is why I paid the $5000! “Mark” insisted that I pay immediately and I insisted that I would wait and pay once I passed final inspection. I showed good faith by paying as he demanded thinking that his work was to code. I am not a plumber, I do not know what is acceptable for building code. I trusted him! However, I would not have paid had I known that the inspector would not approve his work. I would have held back at least 15% of final payment as per industry standard if that option was offered to me. Please get your facts straight “Mark”. The Oakville inspector has no problem speaking with you, if you wish. We have all the emails between us. I will also posts the pictures of the “monstrosity” you created in my basement w.r.t. the Dishwasher Trap if you would like? Would that be ok?
