Sunny Gurm

I highly recommend these guys! A note from my wife who was very appreciate of the work done by Max and Ron:

"Let me set the stage. I am a new mother attempting my best to function on the small pockets of sleep that are offered randomly daily. We were also mostly exclusively cloth diapering at the time. I was heavily dependent on my dishwasher and laundry machine. Enter in a plumbing emergency! The downstairs laundry sink starts backing up and overflowing. Turns out it's going to require breaking the concrete and replacing some pipes.

This stressful situation could have easily turned out to be a nightmare but it was handled with such care and professionalism. Highly recommended their plumbing services! Honest hard working professionals. I was extremely grateful for their help and expertise! They were efficient and amazing. 5+ stars" - Dominique

Response from the owner:Thank you for your business Sunny. Let us know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Ron and Max

Sami M

Dr. Pipe did replacement underground drain inside of the basement for my house with a very reasonable price. They did it very professionally and took pictures during the job for me. Thanks Dr. Pipe

Response from the owner:Hi Sami. Thanks for your business. Let me know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Max, Ron and Andriy

Doug Willard

The work done by Dr Pipe was timely and of the highest quality. I could not imagine a more accomodating group to work with. Max was extremely helpful when dealing with my insurance company. His intervention got the insurance company to make the maximum payment the policy could cover. Without it the insurance company was only offering about 1/3 of their final payment. I have no reservations recommending Dr Pipe to anyone. I will always call them first for any of my needs in the future.

Response from the owner:Thank you Dough for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your drain underground pipe relining project and I glad that insurance company cover almost all cost. Sincerely Max, Andryi and Ron

Patrick Lynn

Maxim and his team were very helpful in setting up our flood prevention system. They were very detail oriented with their design and explained it to us so that we understood the system. They were patient and supportive with rebate applications, and were available to start work very quickly. They communicated well and the work was done well. Hopefully we'll never have to use our sump pump and backwater values but I am confident they will protect us. Very happy and would recommend Dr. Pipe and Osmaks plumbing

Response from the owner:Hi, Patrick. Thank you very much for your business. Sincerely, Max, Andryi and Ron

Ellen Bruce

Great service and pricing. They were able to start the work quickly and had it finished in one day. Courteous workers. The water line replacement was done with very little impact on land scaping.

Response from the owner:Hi Ellen. Thank you very much for your business. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max, Ron and team.

JC Gobeil

I definitely would not hesitate recommending Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing to friends, neighbors, and anyone else. I appreciated the clear and no-nonsense communication with Maxim, and the great job his crew did. I needed to have my old lead water service line replaced, and opted for the trenchless “torpedo method” offered by Dr. Pipe. The guys got here bright and early in the morning, and by 3pm everything was done with only one small excavation at the city valve (filled and ready to patch up), and left the basement and driveway cleaner than they were before they got here. They got right down to business and worked hard, fast and professionally until it was done, with only a short break for lunch. And it cost about half of what other companies had quoted me for digging a trench and messing up the whole property (and taking two or three days to do it). True, we were lucky the torpedo didn’t hit any big rock, but even if it had, it would most likely still have been a great choice (with less disruption) than the others.

Response from the owner:Thank you Mr.Gobeil for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your old lead main water line replacement. Let me know if you need any plumbing work in the future. Sincerely Max, Denis and Sergey.
