Drain Re-Location

Oleg came to my home the same day we called him. He provided us an excellent quote and was kind enough to come back out to do the work about 3 months later. The work was done by his colleague Konstantin. I was able to see the work first hand as I was also re-locating plumbing and electrical for my washer and dryer in the same area. Konstantin was extremely professional and his quality and expertise showed throughout the entire job. I was more than pleased with the outcome of the drain re-location, and Konstantin was kind enough to explain everything he did. Now I have a better understanding of main line drainage, and the satisfaction of quality workmanship for the work completed.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Ensure they understand the method and the reason for vents within the main drain. Ask questions and be with them to see and view the functioning drain before the concrete is re-done.

Hi Mr. Lachhman, thank you very much for the review we appreciate that. As long as you understand really well what you are doing, you could explain how home drainage system works for the customer. And that's important to have a clear understanding of it not only for a plumber but for homeowner as well. Thank you for your interest in our job! Best regards.

Drain Repair

We had a clogged drain in the basement, I was trying to reach out for emergency plumbing company

late in the evening. No one returned my calls, Oleg from Doctor Rooter gave me a call back in half an

hour after I left a message. It was such a relief when he with the assistant got here and took care of

my flooded basement. It was hard to deal with the standing water, it was a disaster. They scoped the

drain several times, than the clog went down the pipe. Cleaned the floor and mess around, returning

my basement to its original condition. Guys have been working till 2am, very pleased with their

commitment. It was on the expensive side, but I’m just happy that it all done.

Concrete Driveway

We found Doctor Rooter here on Homestars. We called several companies to get an estimate for our driveway. Sergey and Oleg were the most trustful people from all of them. Even though the price they gave me wasn't cheap, we still decided to go with them and we didn't regret it after they finish the job. Sergey and a crew showed up early every morning and they left their workplace clean every day. I highly recommend them for everyone. Very friendly and professional guys.

Waterproofing basement

Yet again Oleg, Bill and the crew did a top class job. We recently bought a house and came across some issues the previous contractor screwed up including putting the waterproof membrane back to front. Within 2 days Doctor Rooter excavated, installed new membrane, a window well and fixed some other drainage issues. The entire team are hard working, professional and always leave the job site clean and tidy. Thanks again
Quick update, today (November 6th) Oleg yet again went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after when the sewage pump in our basement gave up. Despite been extremely busy, Oleg came out 2 days in a row to fix our problem and because he was delayed he almost refused to take any money. There simply no better contractor in the city that Oleg and Doctor Rooter! Thanks again guys

Basement was leaking(required water proofing)

My Basement was leaking and I had my carpet going green from mold, there were few more cracks on the way. I heard that waterproofing can be expensive and it's a gamble to find descent and professional contractor these days. So, I had to make my choice carefully and was referred to Doctor Rooter. Reading their reviews on Homestars made me satisfied and I arranged for a quote with Oleg. He was able to come on a short notice and his costumer service was top notch, his pricing was reasonable compare to the other quotes. From our appointment I understood that I should hire Doctor Rooter to do the job and the next morning Konstantin come out to do the fixing. He was very courteous, neat and clean. The whole job was completed in one day, very organized, which made me really happy. Thank you for going the extra mile. Very professional !!!Highly recommended !!!Will definitely recommend to others. Thank you guys!

Driveway widening

We needed a driveway widening. To do so we needed to uninstall and reinstall our old retaining wall in new place. We called several companies, to get estimates. Oleg from Doctor Rooter come up with most real and detailed one. A week later as it was scheduled, the crew showed up and disassembled the wall, removed all extra ground and reassembled the wall. They did very good job. A couple days later they poured concrete level on the driveway and job was done with amazing results. Definitely recommend this company.

After two years concrete start to brake looks awful, calls not answering,
Definitely not recommend this company.
