"Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor"

Pavel and his team are by far the best contractors I have ever worked with. I had a sump pump and back valve and main drain issue. He came and fixed everything in one day – the work was done perfectly and at a very reasonable price compared to other industrial plumbers. Since then there have been a few other issues that I have called Pavel about. He is always around to answer his phone – and he always stops by almost immediately to help. Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor. I very highly recommend Pavel and his team!

These guys saved our life by showing up in time and replaced a leaky pipe easily! After that, we scheduled an appointment for the next day to check everything out, so the leaking problem won't bother us again because of the extremely cold temperatures. We had great communication and we received all the answers that we needed for future prevention of the problem. Well done job! I would say, above and beyond.

My wife and I purchased an older home in East York with the understanding that we were going to need to do a fair bit of work to modernize the infrastructure. Plumbing being a major focus. I contracted MT to: replace cast iron plumbing stacks (there were two in my home), plumb our new kitchen main floor, and also a basement kitchen that we have, as well as some plumbing for two new bathrooms. We also decided to replace the clay sewers in the home which were about 75 years old and also install a backflow valve. Eddy, Pavel and their team of plumbers did a great job.

FAQ

Sump pump installation is an easy process for our plumbers. The pumps can be incorporated into the house floor plan even after it has been completed. It is best to involve a plumber in the installation process because they will know the right pump to install and how to create maximum efficiency. If the house does not have a sump pit, you will need the plumber to dig one and properly configure it for the installation of the pump. The steps to install a sump pump are as follows: Find the lowest point where water is most likely to collect. Dig through the foundation of the basement and place the pump in place. If necessary run an electrical connection nearby to plug the pump in. Battery backup pump is recommended by insurance companies in case of a power outage.

The excess water can get into your house by many means such as from flooding, leaking faucets, and other plumbing and will naturally flow to the lowest part of your home. Most of the pumps have an automated flotation system which automatically switches on and starts pumping the water once it reaches a certain level. The water is pumped out of the house and drained away from your home’s foundation, leading to flood prevention and preserving the home’s structural integrity.

MT Drains & Plumbing Reviews

Simon S.Simon S. ★★★★★ Update on Dec 17 2024:A toilet in our house came away from the floor in a way that broke the flange it was bolted to. I called MT Drains because they had done a fine repair job in our kitchen a few months earlier (see below). Viktoriya in the office was very friendly & helpful in getting us a cost estimate in a timely fashion and setting up an appointment to fix the problem that fit our schedules. We received email confirmation and reminder of the appointment, and a text confirmation on the morning of the appointment itself. The technician, Amir, arrived a few minutes before the start of the window for the appointment, which I always appreciate a lot! He was friendly, polite and professional. He assessed the repair requirements, confirmed the estimate, and completed the job in a timely manner. Amir also cleaned up everything and even took the garbage away with him. Viktoriya followed up shortly thereafter by phone to check that we were pleased with the job, and then sent the invoice to me for the agreed amount. She also confirmed that they received our payment right away. I’ve used MT Drains’ services for plumbing issues before and will happily use them again!The drain from our kitchen sink was leaking near the place where it attached to the sink itself. The reason turned out to be corrosion that was rotting away the place where the drain pipes attach to the sink.Pavel from MT Drains responded to my Trusted Pros posting within minutes, and was able to have a plumber come that very day. Dima arrived within the agreed time frame. He was polite, friendly, efficient and very skilled at diagnosing the problem and making the repair by replacing the corroded parts.
