Aviv Plumbing

We hired Mike Aviv to redo our kitchen plumbing after we tore out our substandard builder kitchen. Mike was responsive, courteous and a consummate professional -- he went out of his way to be accommodating and the quality of his work was exceptional. His attention to finishing detail - like applying silicone - was out of this world. We were thrilled with the results and Mike's confidence gave us peace of mind from beginning to end. I would happily recommend Aviv Plumbing and would have Mike back in a heartbeat.

We had called another plumbing company that showed up 2 hrs later (we had left for work by then) and then couldn't fit us in until 4 days after our initial appointment. We found Aviv on this website and called. Erle arrived on-time, same day, was friendly, helpful and fixed our leaking laundry valve. He also cleaned up after he was done.

I called Aviv to install a new dishwasher. Erle arrived within two hours of my call, installed a new water supply line, and completed the install in less than one hour.

A faucet housing at our rental property had become loose and we had a very tight timeline to repair prior to new tenants moving in. We called a few plumbers and were generally told to wait a week or so for a visit -- Aviv Plumbing was there within a couple hours. The plumber dispatched knew exactly what to do and repaired the faucet on the spot. We'd definitely recommend to anyone else in a similar predicament.

Of course, it happened on a Sunday. The bathroom sink refused to drain; my husband tried using a snake but nothing budged. We called our local Home Hardware store at Eglinton/Bayview for a referral and they recommended Aviv. I called Aviv, left a message, was called back promptly, and an hour later Raphie arrived. Very quick, very neat, and very pleasant! And, a very reasonable charge, especially for a Sunday call. We will recommend Aviv to all our neighbours.

My hot water heater had an incorrectly installed connection that corroded over time. Michael ordered the replacement parts and fixed it promptly. No fuss, no muss! Very approachable and answered all of my questions. Will definitely hire again.

I did a major replumbing in my basement (copper) over the last 3 days, but had a couple of leaky connections when I turned the water back on. Out of steam and desparate for a hot shower, I knew the right thing to do was call in a professional with the right equipment. I turned to Homestars right away, having had success there before, and found Aviv Plumbing. Earl quickly answered the page and we scheduled a time. He showed up right on schedule, was very courteous, and got the job done in short order. I would call again without hesitation.

I had a new rental hot water heater installed by [another company] in a very tight space in my condo as the old one sprung a serious leak. However, the leak persisted and got worse. A quote from another plumbing company to look into this was in excess of 900.00. This company wanted to tear out drywall in my bathroom convinced that a pipe behind the wall was at fault. I thought it might be the toilet and bought a new one. I found Michael Aviv who came right away,installed the new toilet and efficiently determined that the leak was the result of a faulty install by [another company]. He went above and beyond my expectations in correcting the fault. He spent extra time and didn't charge for it. Michael is the very best, most professional, polished tradesperson I have ever called. He also found that [another company] hadn't capped a gas pipe, a potentially dangerous situation and told me to call them immediately. Dealing with [another company] is another story. I will call only Michael and have recommended him to the condo corporation and everyone else I know for any plumbing needs.

This was the first time we used Mike and he was excellent. He came within hours of the call (on a week-end), was quick, clean and his pricing was very reasonable. He will definitely be my go-to plumber.

We have been using the services of Michael for well over 10 years now and have always been treated with friendly knowledgable service. Michael always tries to come as soon as possible and gives quick efficent service to the job at hand.
