Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
September 18, 2020 We would not hesitate to recommend Central Drain services to anyone. We called during an emergency and Mark quickly responded to us. He came and assessed our problem, explained everything to us, went through our options and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Mark and his staff were courteous, professional and were so clean. So thankful for their service.
September 16, 2020 We have used Central Drain Service three times over the last 10 years. They have always been excellent in showing up on time, quickly addressing and fixing the problem at hand and tidying up before they leave. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use them in the future.
September 15, 2020 Mark and his staff are excellent...made an emergency call when we had a leak in our laundry room. Installed new lines on my washer. Very professional, timely and reasonable.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. 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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
