My initial plan was to have Rent-a-Son move my basement items to a PODS container that would be parked in our driveway. However, when our PODS container arrived there was not enough room to manoeuvre it into the space and the space was not big enough. I immediately called Rent-a-Son with the dilemma and they said they could send a truck with the movers and the movers could load the furniture and take it to the PODS location in Mississauga. I was very impressed with how quickly they were able to arrange everything (in less than an hour) for the next day when the movers were originally scheduled to come. When the renovation is over, I will have them pick up my furniture at PODS and move it back. Getting a permit for the PODS container on a Toronto street can't be done if there is a wait list for Permit Parking, so this is really the best alternative. I was pleased as well that PODS did not charge for the delivery of the container. Rent-a-Son movers Graydon and Ayjab were very proficient and respectful. Also, my coordinator Amanda was lovely to work with and extremely patient with all my questions.

We had a large tree root growing in our Y-connection to the city sewer pipe. The company was very professional, showed us the large root with the camera and suggested that it should be attended to. There was no pressure to get it done right away but said there would be a problem down the road. We had them replace the pipe and Y-connection. Mike and Teddy did the work, digging and replacing the pipes. They were very courteous and answered all our questions. The root they pulled out of the pipe was very large and it was obvious to us that it really needed to be done. The drain man called the city after the work was done and within a few hours the city came, marked the gas lines and put a camera down the city pipes. The pipes are all clear now and we are really glad we had the work done. I would recommend this company and would definitely use them in the future.
