"William and Dominick were very punctual, courteous and professional. I hired them to install a sump, including digging the pit, sump pump, and a backup water powered sump pump. They did their job extremely well and were able to finish the work in 1 day, as promised. Additionally they did extra work for no charge, like changing out my broken water valve, changing my humidifier water feed and cleaned out my basement bathroom grinder pump sump tank. All in all I am very happy with my choice of these guys, and would definitely recommend them and would use them again in the future. I was chatting with Will and I am so glad that he has a long term view of building his business, rather than many small businesses that are in just for the quick buck and not concerned about their reputation and future customers. Many guys will just change their business to a different name and continue with their unsavory practices. Good for you guys Will and Dom, and PLEASE keep up the good work!"

"Dan was able to come out on a Sunday very last minute to work on a clogged sink for my mom. He was beyond professional during our communication. Not only did he do a fantastic job, he kept me in the loop the whole way through. He was very thorough and clean (my mom is clean/neat freak). I would absolutely recommend him to others and will use him again."

"Our kitchen drain had been sluggish for quite a while. We finally called a plumber and were happy to find out he could come out within a few days. Just, as promised he showed up on time and was ready to tackle our plumbing problems. He and his son in-law are a two man team who work great together and are genuinely concerned about fixing any plumbing problems that exist. One of our plumbing problems was a stubborn clog that had settled in a sloping pvc pipe. They diligently worked on it until it was completely cleaned out. First they fixed the slope by giving it much needed support with braces and brackets. Then they worked on the clog. Once it appeared to be cleared out they ran the water to make sure the clog was completely gone,not just moved farther down.. I'm very glad they took that extra precaution because after they had run the water for about 10 minutes the water began to back up again. So they decided to cut through the pipe to physically remove the greasy, clog. They sealed up the pipe and tested the drain again for clear passage. Now the drainage in my kitchen sink is working better than it ever has. There is no build up of water. There were other problems that needed to be addressed and our real plumbers found a working solution for all of them. These two men are very knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting the best way to solve plumbing problems. And their suggestions are not necessarily the most expensive solutions, but rather the most effective. I would definitely call on them again. In fact several days after their visit, we did need them again. There was a problem that was NOT related to the clogged drain. As with the first visit, they came right out. They discussed the best way to handle the plumbing problem and fixed it at a very reasonable rate. We're glad we found "A REAL PLUMBER." It's good to know that a reliable, reasonably priced team of plumbers is only a phone call away."

"Overall, it went pretty well. I took a while to decide on which of the colours and edging I wanted; they did a good job of following up and reminding me. Since this work is for a house I'm renting, I wasn't always able to get measurements quickly. There were some quirks. The Big Deal price doesn't include removal and disposal of the old countertop; that was an additional $300. It also doesn't include the re-attachment of the sink as they don't do that work so I needed to get a plumber involved. To be fair, both of these were disclosed in the Big Deal and by them afterwards. Since this is template-based, I went out to the house and met an installer who created the template. He worked quickly but, unfortunately, his English was rather limited and several times during the entire project, he had to call their main office and hand me the phone so I could talk to someone there instead. This slowed down the process and made the interactions feel clumsy. On a positive note, they do care about the work; I had decided on 1/4" bevel edging and the main office called back and said that that edging has a higher risk of chipping and, since this is a rental, I should go with the 3/8" round instead, which I did. Since I was reusing my old sink, they brought the slab in and cut the hole for it on-site but used a vacuum and cleaned up the dust quite well. They also lowered the slide-in sink since the new countertop are thinner than the old one. This was after yet another back-and-forth conversation that resulted in a phone call to the main office so they could tell me they would do the work but wouldn't be liable for any resulting damage; there was none. The result looks good and once I get the sink re-attached, all will be well. There are still a couple of minor issues but it is a worthwhile upgrade."

"Received call regarding services before finishing up my request on line. Anthony, who came to our house to inspect and price out the job, was very knowledgeable and courteous. His professional advise and attention to details made us confident that job will be done right. Price was right and by research one of the most competitive. I do care for cost, but also for job well done. And that's what we got. Brandon and Andrew installed new air-conditioning system in one day. Work was accurate, clean and explained to every last detail. We are happy with the result and highly recommend this company. Looking into getting extended agreement on service with them."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several signs that can indicate your leach lines are broken, failing, or in need of repair, including puddles of water or a marshy consistency to the ground above or around the pipes, slow drainage or plumbing backups inside your home, and noticeable odors or gurgling sounds coming from your leach field. Keeping your septic system properly maintained, including having your septic tank pumped at regular intervals, can help ensure your leach lines stay in good working order for a long time.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.

Yes, short hair can clog a drain. While you might be tempted to blame the long-haired people living with you for a clogged drain, hair—no matter the length—can combine with soap scum and leftover shampoo to create a perfect storm of sticky mess that can cause your drain to slow down. 

Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.
