Like most homeowners, we hate anything relating to a plumbing issue. For me especially - water and…read moreI just do not get along in a house. I've had various issues already, but this was one of the most annoying - my basement shower, elevated on a wooden frame and installed by the previous owner who did a shit DIY all around job, was a mess and as shoddy as an island shack. So when the shower started leaking at the base between the frame and the cement floor, I knew I was in trouble and that it would be a disastrous fix if it involved pulling out the frame. Well, step one was the research what the eff I was going to do. After some friendly advice from the all-knowing Google, I knew I probably needed to call a plumber (which I hate) and that it was going to cost mucho dinero (the exact reason I hate calling plumbers). I didn't want any surprises for the plumbers I reached out to for estimates due to the possibility of tearing up the wooden base, so I was quite frank in my mass emails I sent out describing my issue. Boy, were the responses fun, and included but were not limited to: -We don't have time for this type of job. Ever. -We're fully booked until a month later, can you wait? -Yeah, we're going to need to come by in order to do an estimate. That'll cost you $150. -No response. (probably laughing at why anyone would waste their time with an annoying job like this) No, eff you all. Luckily for me, Bill answered within a day, and said he'd check out the issue. Bill was great - personable, reasonable and professional. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He went into the issue understanding my concern, and attempted to fix the leak without getting to the base. Unfortunately, due to the previous scumbag and his wholesome fail at DIY at using glue like some maniacal second grader, Bill was unable to pry the drain out from the top. So I gave him a miserable nod, allowing him to start the process of tearing up the frame. The more wooden planks he tore from both the base and the side frame, the heavier my heart, as I could see Bill was not expecting the layers upon layers of wood blocking his way to the drain and pipe. At one point, he stopped, stating there was a plank he wouldn't be able to get out unless he tore up the whole shower. You could imagine the $$$$ rolling through my mind at that point - my field of vision was literally green, and then a sickening blood red. But Bill, and I have to hand it to him, thought for about a minute when he saw my face, and said he may have another creative idea. Thirty minutes later, and with a large hole slightly larger than a basketball in the wood, Bill had managed to fix the leak (which was caused by the previous owner not tightening the plastic cap underneath the drain. Have I made my point about the incompetency of the previous owner yet?). Despite having a large hole at the most inner wooden base, I was ecstatic, as Bill was able to get underneath the shower with minimal damage. And the cost? Slightly over $200 for over an hours+ work of worth, which includes the help of an apprentice he had observing and getting tools from their truck. This may be a bit expensive as this prices in labor only (no parts or supplies were needed), but due to the complexity and woodwork involved, I'm happy with the net result. Bill will definitely be my go-to guy for my future plumbing needs! Thanks Bill!

He also took the time to walk me through what might have been causing the issue, how to help prevent it going forward, and how to spot signs that it could be a larger building-related problem, which was especially helpful since I live in a condominium. Out of all the plumbers I looked into, John's Sewer & Drain Cleaning had the best pricing, and they absolutely backed it up with outstanding service. I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with plumbing issues.

The price was very fair especially considering the effort and mindset needed to resolve the problem. Wouldn't hesitate to call this company again - very grateful for a good and positive outcome to a nasty problem. Thank you, Andre for your patience and hard work.

We used Borges for sewer line replacement. Our interior…read morecast iron line was beginning to leak. A crack developed - and then we saw a leak bleeding thru the foundation wall. The cast iron was 130 years old and had clearly outlived its expected lifespan (75 years for cast iron). We decided to have the sewer line replaced on our schedule rather than when it completely failed. One of our neighbors just had their sewer line replaced by Borges and recommended them, so we chose Borges for the work - and were we glad we did. The owner came out and supervised the job, and the crew completed everything in one day. He replaced about 8' of interior cast iron, then thru the rubble foundation wall and another 10 feet, thru an old septic pit, and then connected to the clay pipe. He fully inspected (along with the city inspector) and determined that the old clay pipe was in perfect shape - saving me THOUSANDS of dollars. His crew was amazing - and left the interior and exterior in better shape than it was before. I highly recommend Borges for any sewer line work!!

We hired Borges Sewer & Drain at the recommendation of several neighbors who had had him fix the…read moresame broken, 100+ year-old sewer pipes that we needed fixed. They said he did great work and was professional, communicative and fairly priced. All that turned out to be absolutely true! He was a pleasure to work with, and explained the options clearly at various decision-points. He and his team did the job in one very long day, including digging up the sidewalk and street, and repaving them nicely. We explored the possibility of replacing the pipe or lining the existing pipe and ultimately we all agreed it was better to replace it, given how much digging was required. The fact that Borges is able to excavate and do sewer pipe liners is a major plus. We are so glad we went with Borge's and happy to have this done, after 20 years of flooded basements. We highly recommend Borges!

I asked the plumbing company to bill Allen the amount he overcharged me and I will settle the rest, so we could finish the work. The plumbing company declined to do so, saying Allen Bunker was no longer on the contract. I then asked the plumbing company for the contract, so I know what's left to be done. Got declined again. I then sent them a detailed list of things and wanted to confirm those will be covered in the remaining work. Plumbing company said I was too difficult to work with and said they would cancel the permit. Well how else do I know what I am paying for? Finally, the company said they would take me to court for slander if I post negative reviews about them. I view my requests as reasonable and I can back up what I said. Sounds like they need to bring a lot of people to court then. All the time they sided with Allen (from their actions mentioned above) while insisting that they don't want to get involved in this. I want to post this as a warning for future customers who go through MacCleod plumbing through Allen Bunker. Have fun!
