Had good experience with the company and the plumber Michael. This morning found a leak from the tailpiece of the bathroom sink drain, then called. He came in on the same day and on time. He's friendly and provided 3 months warranty. He deserves a good review, so I'm writing now.

We had the worst problem and they solved it in 2 days. Our 75 year old house had plugged sewer pipes inside and out. Tree roots had grown into the cracked clay pipes and the entire system had to be replaced.
They opened the basement floor and replace all with new pvc pipes.
Then they dug a 9 foot deep hole at the connection to the street line.
The most amazing part was the fabrication of a 50 foot section of pipe that was pulled into the hole and through to old clay pipe to connect to the house.
Excellent work.

We had an emergency just before a big family dinner. Our kitchen sinks were backed up. Oleg came early in the morning to fix it. He was fantastic, and was able to diagnose and solve the problem quickly. He deserves more than 5 stars!

Mark Marek, did a fantastic job clearing our clogged kitchen drain. It was not easy, he had to snake over 20 feet but did it patiently and got the job done

Thanks Mark

I recently hired Drain Rescue Burlington for a plumbing issue at my home, and I was very pleased with the entire experience. From the initial phone call to the completion of the job, Marek was responsive, professional, and courteous.
Marek arrived on time, clearly explained the problem, and provided a fair estimate before beginning the work. Marek handled the repair efficiently and made sure everything was working properly before leaving. I also appreciated how they cleaned up after the job—no mess left behind.
What stood out most was their honesty and transparency. There were no surprise charges, and they took the time to answer all my questions without rushing.
Overall, I would highly recommend Drain Rescue, Burlington Marek to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy plumbing services. It’s great to find a company that values both quality work and great customer service.

The congregation at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church would like to thank the wonderful people at Drain Rescue Plumbing for helping us with our basement flooding issue. The team lead, Roman, was very thoughtful and patient, taking the time to explain the process in a clear and easy-to-understand way for us laymen. Jacob, the technician, and his team worked diligently to locate the problem area, provided a detailed explanation of the cause, and successfully cleared the blockage to relieve the system and help prevent future water issues in our parish basement.

We highly recommend their services and again thank them for their help. God bless.

It was 3:30 Saturday afternoon on a holiday weekend (Thanksgiving) when we called Drain Rescue because out Kitchen sink was blocked. Before 6:00 (less than 21/2 hours later) Marek was on the job. He was very personalable, professional and competent.
He explained everything he was trying to do to unplug our problem. Unfortunately, after trying several attempts he was unable to clear the problem because the block was major and a long way down the piping. But amazingly Drain Rescue will have a crew 1st thing tomorrow morning with the heavy equipment needed to finish the job. The total price was very fair. We feel very lucky to have found Drain Rescue and won't hesitate to recommend or use them again !
