If the time comes for the services of a Toronto plumber, get quotes from a number of credible plumbing companies to compare prices. Avoid emergency charges by scheduling your repairs during the week and away from weekends and holidays. Also, see about bundling minor tasks, like a constant drip and running toilet, to save call-out fees.

I have used them twice, once for a back up in my laundry room (unfortunately they could not help as it was a city related issue) but they came and did everything they could to help and were very fair and honest in price.
The second time was for two bad valves on my water heater. They arrived same day, quickly fixed the issue and once again were very professional and fair.
I would definitely recommend Alexei for any plumbing related work.
It's great to see that there are still honest and knowledgeable contractors out there!
We had a problem with the main drain line in our house, they responded quickly, investigated the issue, provided an honest opinion on possible resolutions and resolve it with most satisfactory results.
Good Job!
Alexei came on time and replaced the toilet valve, faucet and fill valve. Happy with the results. Would use again.
They even returned to the house afterwards to help address an issue that arose after the fact (not due to their error).
