Gus from City Plumbing is a superhero!
A huge THANK YOU to Gus and Co at City Plumbing! We had a blocked sewer pipe in our home that got progressively worse over a couple of days and then stopped up completely so we couldn't flush a toilet or use ANY water in the house. In a panic, I did the first thing may would do and called one of the well known drain cleaner folks who did help partially unblock it and then quoted me $12,000 to make repairs to my 'collapsing clay pipes'. Aside from the money, this would have meant moving our basement tenant to temporary accommodation, tearing out the floor and maybe kitchen - easily $20,000 when all done. Luckily, I got a referral to call Gus at City Plumbing. He came by - literally within minutes - and after checking it out arranged for a video-scoping. The scoping showed some areas of concern but nothing like the first plumber had said. We then arranged a jet-washing to clean it out and really see what was going on - but before that could happen it blocked up again, this time completely. Once again, Super-Gus was at our door in a few minutes and this time augured the entire system from the back of the house to the city sewer. There was a whoosh and the blockage was gone completely and water was flowing better than ever. The guys arrived a couple of days later for the jet-washing but after scoping the sewer once again, showed me it had completely cleaned itself out and didn't require jetting. It's around 3 months later now, and everything is working fine.
I rarely leave reviews, but I very highly recommend City Plumbing. They resolved the problem and stopped me from making a huge and very expensive blunder by taking the word of the first guy that came by. Everyone was super-friendly and took the time to explain to me what was happening. If I am ever in need of plumbing services, I will call Gus first and will not hesitate to recommend City Plumbing to anyone else that needs their magic.
Gus, Chris & Alex - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
