New Sink and Faucet Connection

Drain King was quick to schedule a plumber even on a long weekend holiday and provided constant updates and live tracking. Plumber arrived on schedule and installed new brass drain piping to match the material. This was for a single drain wide sink, while the previous setup was two drains. All the old fittings had to be removed. The quality of the job done is neat and excellent! Highly recommend Drain King for new kitchen sink and faucet connections!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

You are looking at this review because they have a lot of reviews online (Genuine or NOT). The records reveal that this company, despite being just 5 years old, has accumulated over a thousand reviews solely on Google. They have a disproportionately high number of reviews on Google compared to other sites and claim to have received awards from their second year. This isn't the hottest restaurant in town with tons of exposure among the younger generation. Their customers are homeowners. Here is my first hand experience with this failed company.
I set up an appointment because they said the estimate was free.
When the plumber arrived, he said I have to pay him $310 for an "investigation", which doesn't include the actual work.
He showed me terms and conditions that I needed to sign, and one of them was that I was satisfied with the work they did even BEFORE they started their work.
I questioned the plumber multiple times about the issue but he said it's the company policy. I later spoke with the manager, and he wasn't surprised at all.
I should have stopped there.
The plumber failed to find the source of the leak and made a misdiagnosis. The plumber was way off and I'm not even sure if he was a fully licnesed plumber.
I hired their compatitor and they found the leak within 10 minutes. They were surprised why Drain King couldn't find such a simple leak. Drain King doesn't know what they are doing and will waste your time and money.
It was something so simple and so basic yet these guys failed miserably.
The new company found the problem so quick I spent a fraction of what I paid these guys.
I even invited Drain King back to my house to give them a chance to see their failure, but they refused to do it. They are too embarrassed to come and see their failure.
Once they get their money, they are gone, and you won't see them again.
They will say they are going to put you on their do not service list
(like I'm gonna pay them again? for their failure.)
I now know why they wanted me to sign those documents even before they start the work.
It's because a lot of their customers are not happy with their incompetency and inability to diagnose the simplest problem.
You can obtain your refund by processing a chargeback.
Contact BBB.
Contact consumer protection Ontario and get your money back.

Hi Brian Lee,

Thank you for sharing these concerns with us.

While we appreciate your frustration surrounding the persisting leak, our technician did not charge you for a solution, and we have yet to hear back or receive photos from you regarding the misdiagnosis you are claiming to have received from our technician. The message we received in response to our request for photos for reference was: "Please tell me in what condition I can get my refund first." To us seems like you want to verify how you can get a refund, regardless of if you are entitled to one.

You paid for leak detection/investigation, as reflected on your invoice. Our technician then discovered a leak and brought it to your attention. As a courtesy, he added some caulking around the area to potentially solve the problem. However, we never billed you for the caulking, nor did he guarantee that the caulking would fix the leak entirely, if at all.

When you called our office on August 8th to complain, two weeks after your service, you said the leak had returned, not that the technician misdiagnosed it. Only after we expressed what you paid for, the leak detection/investigation, did you finally change it up and say he misdiagnosed the leak during his inspection. However, you confirmed the most recent leak is in the same area our technician mentioned it was coming from.

As mentioned during our conversation on August 8th, you need to contact a general contractor or property management to properly handle the leak, as the problem is not something our technicians generally repair based on his diagnosis. The caulking was a courtesy, and the investigation was to determine the source, which we did. He put caulking around the drain seal(surrounded by tiles, where you admitted he caulked), which you mentioned your building advised was the current issue meaning he correctly diagnosed the problem but was unsuccessful in solving it with caulking, which again, you did not pay for.

The initial inspection was free, as mentioned, and you were only billed for leak detection/investigation after you approved the estimate during your free on-site consultation, where he could not identify the source of the water coming into the unit below without a more thorough investigation. You would not have received a charge had you decided not to proceed. Our technician detected the leak and made you aware of the source.

We will not grant a refund and have put you on our do not service list moving forward.

We found these negative remarks and accusations extremely uncalled for and in poor taste when we offered to review further and would consider a refund had you sent photos backing up your case.

We encourage you to rethink your actions and how they impact people or businesses before making uncalled-for & unjustified comments on a public forum.

UPDATED: Hi Ted (Brian Lee),

Thank you for sharing these concerns with us.

While we appreciate your frustrations, we are extremely appalled by your behaviour and countless attempts to tarnish our company's reputation due to a bill you happily paid upon job completion. Only after the fact are you trying to dispute it as a result of a free service provided not successfully solving the problem. You did not pay for our technician to caulk the shower area; we performed this service as a courtesy after diagnosing the issue. You were well aware at the time it may or may not work, and we recommended you waterproof your shower, which was not something we could conduct.

Our company has spent countless hours responding to your numerous negative reviews. We will not be engaging in your inappropriate and spiteful actions any further.

Our reviews are as legitimate as they get, and our team works extremely hard to accumulate them, so thank you for acknowledging the exceptional results for our hard work. Google does have many ways of filtering through illegitimate reviews posted by owners and newly made accounts, similar to how they filter direct attacks on companies, such as your previous ones that they removed.

You have already tried to dispute with your credit card company and reported us to the BBB. Both, denied your claims due to a lack of evidence and our justified defense.

We encourage you to rethink your actions and how they impact people or businesses before making uncalled-for & unjustified comments on a public forum because the only person you're making look bad is yourself.

Responsive, reasonably priced, very professional. Pleasure doing business with them. They secured some pipes inside the wall, which had not been done initially by someone else. Cleaned everything up at the end.

Toilet flange repair

Great experience with Drain King! Got back to me within minutes of posting a service request on HomeStars. Everyone was friendly and professional. My repair was a bit unique and wasnt on their standard price list; however they presented me with a couple options and were transparent about pricing. Work was completed same day and no mess left behind. Would definitely rely on them again. Highly recommended!
