After calling several plumbers and had no show-upSS, this company kept their word by having someone there on time. George who came out was friendly, explained the work in details and was fair with the quote. In addition, it was installed perfectly and there were no issues. At the end, George was very professional and cleaned up the area thoroughly. I would definitely recommend Canadian Rooter! Thanks!
