He is patient and considerate. Thanks, lydia" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "If I can give Red Seal Plumbing 100 stars out of 10, I would do so in an instant. In short, this company just does the job right in every way possible. I hate it that their service was needed in the first place, but I am also grateful that I had found Red Seal. Our 57-year house suffered a major flood in the winter, and we called several companies to come and do an estimate. Some gave cheaper quotes but when you look at the actual quotes, something just didn't seem right. When Alex from Red Seal came, he listened carefully to what happened to our house, examined carefully around the perimeter, and proposed to me what he felt the problems were, while also outlining some potential complications that could make the job more complicated (and costly). I felt right away that the quote he gave would actually entail the job that needed to be done to fix the problem, so we decided to go with Red Seal. David, the lead man on the job, came with his crew after we confirmed the job, and he was the most wonderful man to work with. Detailed and communicative, he came early each morning to outline for me what he would plan to do for the day, and when I returned from work each day, he would give me a debrief over what had been done, observations he had made, and what to look ahead. He and his crew also kept what could have been a very messy work place extremely clean. On multiple occasions, his crew or David himself would spend time hosing down, sweeping their work area just to keep things clean and tidy. Some complications and additional problems were discovered as David and his crew continued their work. David and Alex came and had long discussions with me, and came up with several solutions to deal with those problems. The solutions they proposed tried to minimize additional costs, while also ensuring that the future water safety of the home would not be compromised. Alex and David were creative and truly seemed to care about my wallet and the water safety of my home. Red Seal's work was so good that, at the end of their job, my sons actually drew a thank you card to David to thank him for his work, and the boys said they would miss seeing the Red Seal van parked in front of our house. I used Google to find Red Seal Plumbing. I read many of its five-star reviews to know that this is a legitimately great company for my plumbing needs. I am glad I trusted in Red Seal, and I hope my review can give you the confidence to hire them for your plumbing needs too. Thank you, Red Seal Plumbing, for a most awesome job done for our home! I cannot thank you enough!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I put in an online request, and the plumber came the very next day. Originally, I wanted just to replace a faucet cartridge, but the plumber found some faulty valves underneath that faucet (which he showed me to prove that he was not making it up). Both were repaired swiftly and done well. He cleaned up everything before leaving. Very satisfied." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Drainage contractor, Appliance Repair, Bathroom Fitter, Concrete contractor, Driveway Paving, Electrician, General Contractors, Groundworker / excavation, Handyman, Hvac Contractors, Plumber ## Awards & recognition - Best of HomeStars winner (2019) ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MyTrustedTraders shows 81 public reviews on this profile.

Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. - Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work. - Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job. ## Contact - Phone: (604) 618-4988 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/bc-tsbc-red-seal-drainage-plumbing-in-e5ea0c9f-ed3 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 2 named public sources.
