Great Service

I had an emergency call to Oleg and he responded right away. Sewer had backed up and it was a real mess. He helped me over and above what I expected and gave good advice. His crew were very helpful as well. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs basement drainage fixed.

Basement floor repairs

Called Dr Rooter and spoke with Steve after my concrete floor started to crack and lift / heave. It was a difficult basement with no front window access. They did a great job with breaking up and removing of the concrete, adding more gravel and compacting it, then re-poured the concrete.
Thanks for the great work Steve and Dr.Rooter!

Senior Friendly Concrete Steps Design

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the job I had done on my property. I recently renovated my ground floor basement for my ageing parents and decided to build steps on the side of the house from the backyard uphill to the garage. To make their trips easier the steps had to be low in height and with a rough finish to avoid slips. Special thanks to Ivan and Serge from Dr. Rooter for designing and bringing my idea to life. Great organization and work ethic from start to finish, highly recommend!

Late night water leak

Our water tank started leaking at 12.30am on a Friday night. Contacted Oleg immediately and he sent someone out to sort it out. As usual, the service was prompt, friendly and fixed the problem. Oleg and his team are truly excellent at what they do.

Basement Underpinning

After a very extensive search for contractors, we hired Dr. Rooter to perform our basement underpinning. Oleg was great about walking us through the company's previous experience, including taking us to another site where the company was doing underpinning work.

After giving us a detailed quote, and taking a deposit, Dr. Rooter began the underpinning project. The entire team was great at communicating with us. While the project took a little longer than we had initially planned, I think this is normal for a project of this size. More importantly, Oleg was true to his word and always followed through on his commitments to us.

We are now several months on, and everything that the Dr. Rooter team did continues to work great. Overall, they did not only the underpinning, but re-did the drains under the house, installed a new weeping-tile system to waterproof the house, and did a new backwater valve for us.

We've recommended Oleg to one of our friends already, and will do so again in the future.

Quick drain blockage clear out

Used Homestars to find this local drain service - i got transferred around a couple of times and got through to Sunny. He quickly setup a meeting and came out the next morning - arrived on time and quickly got our drain issue solved. A job well done - i was surprised it was $200 but by the time I drove to Home Depot and did it myself I really would not have saved much.

Great service.

Great company! They were on time and on budget. The actually made a couple of errors on the job, but fixed them quickly and at their expense - no questions asked. Very responsive. Came back 2 or 3 times when asked, just to review some outstanding items.

Highly recommended

Leaking Faucet Repair

The faucet in our office sink was leaking, which was a little distressing as it is located right by one of our entrances and there is a lot of foot traffic in that vicinity. Water was accumulating by the floor and safety became a concern. We called Dr. Rooter and they were relatively quick and efficient to send someone to fix the problem as soon as possible. We haven't had a problem with the faucet since, so we'd say that we're pretty happy with the services. From one business to another - we appreciate the good customer service and the job well done!
