Shower drain

I have a walkin shower one of my bedrooms on the second floor and something was wrong with the drain, it was leaking. I booked an appointemt with dr rooter for the next day morning, and by the evening of the same day the problem was fixed, amazing service for a resonable cost, very fast and very polite workers.

Egrees Window

Recently I started getting water in my basement after some rain. I caller Doctor Rooter and asked what is a problem. I was told that I have a crack in the wall. They did an outside waterproofing for me as well as installation of an egrees window which I wanted to do for a long time now due to fire safety regulation when u rent out a basement. They did an amazing job in a short period of time, everything took 3 days. I am very satisfied with their service.

Hi Harry, thanks a lot for the review. It's a benefit from any side to install egress windows if you have a fully finished basement, which is habitable place. Sometimes it is confused with window wells, but it has one major difference. Egress is a lifesaving equipment, with a certain requirements. Thank you for choosing Doctor Rooter!

Backwater valve installation

I have recently purchased a new house and almost immediately started the renovations. One of the first things I decided to do was to install the backwater valve in order to protect my basement from flooding. Doctor Rooter had done a great job! It was quick, accurate and professional. Keep up the good work!

Hi Lain, thank you for your feedback. It was a good idea to install backwater valve and protect your property with basement flooding protection subsidy program moreover you get money back from The City. Thank you for choosing Doctor Rooter!

service

Hi everyone! I had a blocked toilet for the past 2 days and it was a terrible experience. I’ve tried mending it myself with snake and liquid plumber but it did not work. So I asked my friend and she suggested me this company. Doctor Rooter provided me with the fast, professional service. I recommend this company to everyone with plumbing problems and definitely will use their services again when needed!

Hi Maria, thank you for the review. yes,clogged toilet is unpleasant situation and it seems to happen at the most inappropriate time. Most of the time you could clear the clog with a plunger in couple minutes, but it is not always a case. Than you need to call a specialist. Thank you for choosing Doctor Rooter!

Project

Basement Walkout.
Hello Everyone!Few weeks ago I have lost my job and that left me and my family without a considerable portion of an income. Me and my husband thought of the ways out of this situation and decided to rent out our basement to help us out with the bills. Unfortunately we did not have a separate entrance to the basement. I asked my brother to suggest me someone ( since he is in construction business) and he suggested me the Doctor Rooter. A nice man called Oleg came for an estimation and very soon the work has began. In 3 days the whole project was finished and we were ready to let people in. I was by how fast and professional the work was done. I will certainly use their services again! Great company and Great Job Oleg!

Service

Few days ago I have noticed that my shower was leaking. luckily I have noticed it fast and my hydro bill will not be huge in the end of the month. My friend had suggested me the Doctor Rooter company. I had called and in a matter of an hour I had someone fixing this problem for me. The service was great and for the good price. i definately recommend Doctor Rooter to anyone who has plumbing problems. Great Job!

Bathrooms rough-in

I am changing this review as Oleg refunded me the money I paid and apologized for not completing the work. I call it even and for the work he has done he has been professional so I have no problem giving him another chance on another project.

Waterproofing

Wow. Great job guys I am very pleased with the work that had been done at my house. I was scared I would be swimming in my basement soon but doctor rooter saved the day( and my basement). They had told me they would be here at 9 and they were right on time, they did not waste a second and got my house waterproofed in less than a week 4 days to be exact. I had watched them slave away at digging out the sides of my house and watched them seal all cracks in my foundation then they had put on tar then a brown membrane to stop any water from going in my basement. They had also replaced the weaping tile as my old one was clogged. Thank you so much serhiy. Have a great day
