What are plumbing fixtures, and why do they need repair or installation?
Plumbing fixtures are devices used to deliver and control water in a building. They include sinks, faucets, toilets, showers, and more. Repair or installation is necessary to ensure these fixtures function correctly, conserve water, and prevent leaks or damage.
When should I consider repairing a plumbing fixture instead of replacing it?
Repair is often the first choice if a fixture is still in good condition and the issue is minor, like a leaky faucet or a running toilet. Replacing fixtures is usually necessary when they are old, inefficient, or extensively damaged.
How do I know if a plumbing fixture needs repair?
Signs of a fixture in need of repair include leaks, drips, low water pressure, strange noises, or a fixture not functioning as it should. If you notice any of these, it’s time to consider repairs.
Can I repair plumbing fixtures myself, or should I hire a professional?
Minor repairs, like changing a faucet washer, can often be done by homeowners. However, for complex issues or installations, it’s recommended to hire a professional plumber. Incorrect repairs can lead to more extensive and costly problems.
What is the most common problem with plumbing fixtures?
The most common problem with plumbing fixtures is leaks, typically caused by worn-out washers, seals, or faulty connections, leading to water wastage and potential water damage.

We had a major issue and Kathleen was very helpful. She booked us in right away and her team was very quick to get our issue resolved.

The plumber arrived quickly and was great. He fixed the problem and was willing to answer my many questions. I did find the company to be priced much higher than I’ve paid with others, but I was glad to have my kitchen sinks working again.

From start to finish, the team was professional and efficient. They quickly identified and resolved the problem, and we were impressed by how clean and organized the site was, their attention to detail really shows.
Highly recommend them for any plumbing needs – they not only solved our issue but did so in a clean way that minimized disruption.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆MUST READ. Google says my review was viewed by 5000 people. Thanks everyone. ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Once this company gets your money, they are gone.◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
You are looking at this review because they have a lot of reviews online (Genuine or NOT!!). The records reveal that this company, despite being just 5 years old, has accumulated over a thousand reviews solely on Google. You are smart if you see the funny patterns on the reviews. They have a disproportionately high number of reviews on Google compared to other sites and claim to have received awards from their second year. This isn't the hottest restaurant in town with tons of exposure among the younger generation. Their customers are home owners. I can't even imagine how much cash this company is burning each month.
Here is my first hand experience with this circus company. I set up an appointment because they said the estimate was free. When the plumber arrived, they changed their words and told me I have to pay him $310 for an "investigation", which doesn't include the actual work.
He showed me the terms and conditions that I needed to sign, and one of them required that I express satisfaction with the work they would do, even before they commenced their tasks. I questioned the plumber multiple times about the issue but he said it's the company policy. I later spoke with the manager and he wasn't surprised at all. Do you see the company not saying anything about this in their reply? It says it all. This is how they do their business.
I should have stopped there.
The plumber failed to find the source of the leak and made a misdiagnosis. The plumber was way off and I'm not even sure if he was a fully licensed plumber or just a junior plumber with no experience.
I hired their competitor and they found the leak within 10 minutes. They were surprised why Drain King couldn't find such a simple leak. Drain King, full of clowns, doesn't know what they are doing and will waste your time and money.
It was something so simple and so basic yet these guys failed miserably.
The new company found the problem so quickly I spent a fraction of what I paid these guys.
I even invited Drain King back to my house to give them a chance to see their failure, but they refused to do it. They are too embarrassed to come and see their failure.
Once they get your money, they are gone, and you won't see them again. When you report a problem, they are going to put you on their do not service list.
(like I'm gonna pay them again for their failure)
This company is a joke.
I now know why they wanted me to sign those documents even before they start the work.
It's because a lot of their customers are not happy with their incompetency and inability to diagnose the simplest problem. You can obtain your refund by processing a chargeback.
Contact consumer protection Ontario.
There will be more to come.

The workmanship, 5 star, quality, exemplary, and Benjamin, my workman ( faced with the challenges older buildings offer) was unfazed, and delivered a stellar job. As well, customer service from Kathleen, was outstanding, and everyone was attentive, respectful, engaging, and highly professional. ( I sure will be a return customer). thanks so much!

Drain king was a great company to work with, I got three different verbal quotes from different companies and their asscoiate, Jonathan, was the only one to provide a detailed breakdown of the quote. They fixed my outdoor drain pipe (spot repair). Furthermore, for my satisfaction they did the camera is inspection on a separate day as I was not an available the day of the repair thanks assistance from Kathleen and Jason (the manager). Overall, I definitely recommend the company.

We have used Drain King several times over the last 5 years for drain issues. The admin team (Kathleen) is always super friendly and detail oriented which helps in sending an appropriate plumber who is prepared to do the job! The plumber has been the same guy for 5 years (Jonathon H) and very polite and knowledgeable. He is able to understand the issues, provide feedback on prevention, and mitigation and then quickly and thoroughly fix the issues. The workmanship is a high quality which lasts! Their quotes and billing system is reasonable and work is guaranteed. We had the same issues happen, a mystery leak in our basement that kept changing locations :( and in that month they came back several times and only charged us for the one visit until the problem was fixed! I would highly recommend Drain Kings for all your plumbing needs!!
