Sewer Line Replacement

plumbers

202095050
This job started out as a simple drain cleaning project. The line was cabled and then a camera was inserted into the line to make sure all of the lines were clear of any debris or breaks. A break was found in the drain line and the client was given a choice of repairing the line or replacing the line. The client chose to replace the drain lines in their home. Sometimes when breaks are found in lines, depending on the material of the line it is better and safer to replace the whole line.

We needed our Garbage Disposal replaced. We bought one, but realized we needed help to get it installed. Mike Counsil to the rescue. This is the 3rd time we have had work done by them. Last year they redid the pipes in our house, so it was a no brainer to call them for help with disposal installation! They communicate during the entire thing. Called and showed up when they said they would. This time we had Besmir and Jordy doing the work. Very friendly, explained what they needed to do, made suggestions along the way. Cleaned up afterwards. Great experience overall!

We thought we needed just our washer drain unclogged so we called the company that had fixed that before, you guys. Guys came out. Under the house they discovered rusted sewer lines. When we had our plumbing redone years ago, the company who did those did not remove the old lines. Those old lines were up against the sewer lines and were corroding our sewer lines. So we had to replace the sewer lines. A broken line just before the city line was discovered so we had to replace that too. Anyhow, we so appreciated the kind workers who smiled and waved at us. They worked around our water schedule as we have a physically disabled adult son we care for. They let us watch all the things they had to do. I took pictures and the guys were fine with that. My brand new front yard was not ruined by trenchless sewer system that went in. And my yard looks like we never had sewer lines done. It was amazing. Yes, we would recommend you to all.

Outrageously over priced. I hired them because of their claim of "over 40 years experience". I have a custom countertop and needed some guidance for a loose kitchen faucet, mounted through plywood. They quoted me a very high price and took a lot of pictures. We discussed a fix that would involve strengthening the mount. As long as the faucet doesn't come loose again, I'd pay extra. Then, another guy came out on the scheduled day to do the work and said "what??" I got an standard install job for a faucet, and a rate of $425 an hour. No idea how long it will be until it becomes loose again. If my kitchen sink wasn't all apart, I would have sent the guy home.

Always exceptional workmanship. Once they fix it, there's no need to worry again.
Description of Work
Mike Counsil Plumbing has taken care of our piping needs for over 30 years. From converting to copper (from plastic piping) to the central meter, simple toilet fixes to water heater replacements and small exterior leaks in our own home and even a sewer and water line replacement in a rental property we own, they are THE best. Responsive, accurate assessment of the issue, fair pricing and exceptional repairs and other fixes. They bother to train their service people to a very high standard and you can rest assured they know their stuff. Tried another company once when they were unavailable for a quick fix and lived to regret not just waiting for their exceptional service.

I use Counsil for the quality of their work and trust them to do it to highest city inspection standards. I had to do two replacement sewer lines. Counsil plumbing did the digging, plumbing and cement work with same people; the other contractor did plumbing, subcontracted sleeving sewer line and subcontracted concrete work. Counsil left the house as he found it. The other contractor left trash, rebar and wood and never came back. Counsil used a price master and a detailed contract, the other contractor gave me verbal price which became opaque. I use Counsil when i need quality work that meets inspection specifications and am willing to pay for it.

My dishwater was not working anymore and the error message showed it was a plumbing issue. Anthony from Mike Council Plumbing was my technician. He did a full check on both the pipes and the dishwater and was able to diagnose that it was the dishwasher not the plumbing. I really appreciated him taking the time to explain the issues in detail. If things break, I will ask to have him back on the job. Extremely professional and very continuous with all the Covid protocols. Great service!!!

Convoluted agreement process to get work started. Prices are based on some kind of “book” max that they don’t tell you about until the tech gets there. Just felt like they were out to make as much as possible and were over complicating a simple repair. Concessions were made to reduce price to final amount which was still high in my opinion.

It went really well. I called for an appointment on Monday; not an emergency, so a Thursday call was fine. There was a confirmation call the night before and then one in the morning to tell me the plumber would be there in about 20 mins. Mario Q. arrived promptly; very professional, in a mask, gloves, booties. He looked everything over and then gave us a quote. He also suggested that I use the coupon from the site - and waited while I printed it. The work was efficient - with hardware store runs, he was done in about 7 hours. He climbed under the house to make sure nothing was leaking; he did see a few areas of concern that weren't related to the work done today. We'll have to save up for those. But for now - we have a lovely new toilet that doesn't have to be jiggled, and a faucet that turns smoothly. Well done Mario.
