Strong Plumbing Inc

An update. Since posting two years ago about Valentin and Strong Plumbing, I've continued to call on him after moving to an older condo. He is fast to respond, on time and does excellent work. For some smaller problems that popped up, I've asked his opinion through text. At least twice I've done this to him. He asked for some pics and pointed me to very easy, very affordable solutions that didn't need a plumber. (And he was right—they were easy fixes even I could do.) What can I say? He's the guy you want.

They are now our go for all our plumbing needs! Valentin and team were so professional, friendly and superb. They did an amazing job replacing our main water service lead pipes to copper. I have used several different plumbing companies in the past and my experience with Valentin and team far exceeded expectations and workmanship. They were so clean and prepped the area to minimize any dust etc (which was important since they were working in our young child's main play area) and cleaned up so well after the work was complete. Our front yard didn't even look like we had any work done! You can tell Valentin and his team pride themselves on their work. The price was reasonable and very competitive with excellent warranty. I HIGHLY recommend Strong Plumbing. You cannot go wrong with them. They have excellent reviews for a reason and I am so happy we went with them over all the other companies we got quotes for. Thank you very much again Valentin and team!

Called Valentin based on his reviews. He responded promptly and professionally. Made an assessment of what we needed and came out within 48hrs to replace the faucet cartridge in our bathtub. He walked me through everything he was doing so I could learn, which I really appreciated. He was polite, respectful and efficient. I highly recommend his services. We’ll definitely keep his number in case we need a plumber again. THANK YOU VALENTIN!

Valentin came first to diagnose a plumbing problem in the basement. He was so informative and provided the service below initially quoted, so I called him back to do a toilet installation. The toilet was not installed properly by the builder and has been causing a leak down to the basement. He was very professional and detailed, and worked around a problem due the builder not following standards when they built this house in the 1990s. I would highly recommend Valentin and will call him for any issues I have.

This is the third time we have used Valentin for various plumbing projects. We have confidence and trust in Valentin. Valentin always provides quality work, arrives on time, cleans up afterwards and has exceptional communication skills. We have another upgrade we are planning and we will be using Valentin again!

Valentin was very knowledgeable and professional! He talked me through steps of the repair, discussed the unknown factors up front and thoroughly verified the job was done.

I highly recommend Strong Plumbing and will use them again if I have need.

Valentine is a very friendly and efficient man. He was early for our appointment (contacted me first) and did two leaky tap replacements. A leak under our kitchen sink was a quick fix which we were not charged for. He also determined the cause of a water leak from our shower and advised us about a fairly simple solution as well as another issue with a faucet that needed a cartridge replacement to avoid problems down the road. The price he charged is very fair for the work performed and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Last but not least, he was very careful not to let our cat escape the house which can sometimes be a challenge.
Thank you Valentine!

Excellent service, VERY responsive. We have used Strong Plumbing a few times now. The service is top notch. A few of our issues were resolved with a few texts. I don't bother searching anywhere else for Plumbing services. Strong Plumbing is definitely the best! It's a great feeling to have a professional that truly does a great job.

Quick response, diagnosed the problem over the phone, got in and out in under 20 minutes. Works perfectly now. A little expensive, but so is the entire city: P

Valentin was a great communicator. Very respectful of my home and Covid rules. Extremely knowledgeable, was able to predict the problem from a photograph I sent. Quoted the job accordingly, was able to come quickly, with all the needed tools and supplies. The job was done very well and fast. I am very grateful for his help and will not hesitate to contact him again. Would recommend 100%

I called Valentin to help fix my parents faulty main water valve. Not only he did an awesome job in a timely manner, he was also friendly according to my parents. He also helped them save some money and inconvenience by doing a certain job himself, so that we don't have to call the city.

Valentin responded quickly and came by to assess the issue - we had a cracked pipe in basement and a leaky kitchen faucet. He provided the quote up front, did excellent work and resolved the issues in just over an hour. We highly recommend Valentin for your plumbing needs

Finding trusted tradesmen these days can be quite difficult (especially with no referrals) - especially with all the horror stories you read about in the newspapers. But finding and choosing Valentin on Homestars was a a walk in the park. His strong StarScore, coupled with the sheer quantity of excellent reviews (500+), were a strong indication that his customers loved his work and honesty.

Safe to say, my intuition was correct! Valentin was very responsive via text, provided a competitive quote for fixing the bath faucet, came the next day after he was contacted, and most importantly, was friendly and knowledgeable! He's now officially my family's go-to plumber and I recommend that he should be yours too!

Thanks Val!

We have used Valentin a number of times and he has always done a great job. He is extremely professional, always responds right away when we have an issue and takes the time to answer all of our questions. If you need a plumber I highly recommend Valentin.

Strong Plumbing Inc.has been my go to, for plumbing needs, since 2013. As always, Valentin has never disappointed. He is professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend this gentleman and his company!

Val came to replace/add 5 water switch offs under our kitchen sink and replace faucets for our garage hose and backyard hose. Earlier this year, he replaced a bathroom toilet and a kitchen faucet.

Both times, Val’s work was impeccable. He is punctual, professional, very responsive by text messages, tidy, polite and a pleasure to work with.

He even tells me about affordable solutions I can do myself to fix problems or issues I didn’t know I had!
Also, last visit, he told me which product to buy online to fix another toilet by myself and it worked!

I normally dread hiring people to work around the house as I have been disappointed in the past with bad service.

Not with Val. Reasonable prices for great work.
But most importantly someone that I trust.

I would recommend him 100%.
I will use Val for all of our plumbing needs.
Thank you for your great work Val!

Valentin is super helpful, friendly and efficient. I always recommend him if people are looking for a good plumber.

The sump pump of the house I've bought wasn't working full tilt. With the melting snow and pending rain storm, the water level was dangerously high. I called Valentin with Strong Plumbing and he showed up within an hour at my house!
He replaced the sump pump with a new and more powerful one, changed and re-routed the runoff piping. Problem solved!
I am most impressed with his concern for his customers. After diagnosing the problem, he was going to buy a new sump pump from the nearest Home Depot and install it. But he was concerned that there would be flooding while he was gone so he put in his own pump in the meantime. That's very considerate of him!
Home Depot ran out of the pump I wanted, and the one he bought was just as powerful but we both felt there was a design flaw with this pump (maybe that's why that pump wasn't sold out). Valentin was so experienced that he devised a way to work around that product design flaw. I am so glad he took his time to try out different ways of overcoming that flaw. That's a real pro who cares! Thanks Valentin!

Thank you Mr. Valentin for the outstanding service.
Another great job Valentin.
Thank you very much for the excellent service.

I reached out to Strong Plumbing after seeing all of the positive reviews on here and I was not let down. Valentin promptly responded to my inquiries and was able to work on my plumbing the following morning. He runs a very professional service and gave me helpful advice for future plumbing work. I'll definitely be recommending him to friends and will continue to use his services.

We have used Strong Plumbing many times (we have an older house that came with a few challenges). Valentin always shows up on schedule, costs are very fair and always align to estimates, and quality has been fantastic (no follow-up repairs related to anything Valentin fixed).
We will continue to use Strong Plumbing and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a plumber.

I originally called Strong Plumbing to replace the water service from our house to the street. They had very competitive rates and did an excellent job. The work was done quickly and everything was cleaned up. I have called Valentin for several other smaller jobs and he is always quick to respond and does really high quality work. He always answers my questions and explains the problem and the fix. I have recommended him to several friends and would happily recommend him again. A pleasure to work with!

Val and his team are excellent. We've used Strong Plumbing twice now for issues related to the drain pipe in our 100-year-old home and have been very happy both times.

The first time was for a larger job involving a collapsed old clay J-trap cleanout and a crushed clay main drain pipe. Val was able to swiftly diagnose the problems, point out some unique features of our plumbing and provided a detailed quote quickly. His pricing was competitive, he was prompt and most importantly, he explained everything without being condescending. His team was very respectful of our home, laying down cloths and keeping everything clean. When they repaired the main drain, they updated the configuration to make it to code. They also expertly managed a tough exterior excavation, saving us from having to re-do our interlock.

Val took the time to explain how our plumbing was set up, showed us the condition of all of our drain pipes and pointed out a few things to keep in mind for the future.

When I texted again years later due to a back-up, Val quickly pulled up the notes on our home and was able to suggest possible causes based on our specific configuration. He was able to resolve the problem (roots invading an older clay section) swiftly, and reviewed the condition of our entire drain pipe to check for any other surprises.

We've been very happy with Val and his team over the years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Had to replace the flapper of my Toto toilet due to water leakage. Val was quick to respond to my request, showed up on time, fixed the problem promptly. This is the third time I used Strong Plumbing for my plumbing repair and I am consistently very pleased with the quality of its services. Highly recommended!

We've used strong plumbing for our plumbing needs over the past 5 or 6 years and every time we are very happy with Valentin's work. He explains what he will do and even offers advice on how to prevent future issues.
We will definitely call on Valentin again and would highly recommend him.

I selected Strong Plumbing Inc to unclog my main drain line in the basement today. Valentin tried his best to come the same day although it's kind of hard for him to arrange it at the beginning. He's very trustworthy as he updated me when the previous work took about one hour longer. He took a quick look and asked several questions then provided me with suggestions. He used camera to actually see what the blockage is and where it is. He even just used the camera set to get rid of the clog. That's very effective as we could see what we're doing. He helped inspect the whole drain all the way to street, and showed me the pipe path under the ground. He found about 4 inches dip along the pipeline on street side. He marked it and asked me to call city which would prevent future drain issue. All in all, Valentin's response is very quick, he's knowledgeable and the work is high quality. I will highly recommend him for any plumbing work.

Valentin came and provided stellar service. He replaced a faulty wax ring and supply line on a toilet, and replaced two sink drains. He was really friendly and made sure to tidy after himself. He also took the time to provide advice on my Moen faucets. Will definitely use Valentin's services again and recommend to my friends.

Valentin is a true professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy. My husband and I thought we might have had a large plumbing problem, but after a quick visit from Valentin he assured us that it was actually a really easy fix. We really appreciate his honesty and insight. We will continue to happily refer Valentin to anyone looking for a great plumbing professional.

Amazing service. Valentin is very knowledgeable and he will explain all the details to you. Job is well done and neat. I will recommend Valentin to my friends any one would ask

Valentin is both a professional and even more so, a personable individual who is most interested in providing honest reliable plumbing services for his own company, Strong. He is the epitome of great customer service and professionalism that is unfortunately disappearing today. He came to my house, listened patiently to my explanation of the problem - and I could tell he was experienced enough to know the solution but yet he still took the time to explain it to me. Fantastic! Not the least expensive - but frankly, I still felt like I got way more value than it cost me. Thank you, Valentin!

My drain was clogged and backing up into my kitchen sink in the basement. I called Valentin, since I had used him previously, and he came punctually. He quickly diagnosed the issue and had the right tools to repair the issue in a timely manner. He is neat and always comes well prepared to do the job. Valentin is patient and takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. Thanks for helping once again! Will call you anytime I have other plumbing issues.

Valentin showed up same day and was so professional and honest. He fixed the issue promptly and also provided very valuable suggestions to this new homeowner (how to turn off outside water valve, found the two access points in my house which i never would have thought to look for) all with no additional charges. He will be my go-to for any future plumbing needs and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants an experienced, and honest plumber! Thanks Valentin!

Main water shut-off valve replacement was smooth and fast. Val did the prep work before the City worker came to shut-off the water supply from outside. It took less than 20 mins to remove the old valve and solder the new valve in. City worker was still on-site to turn the water supply back on.

Valentin is great - punctual, communicative, makes recommendations and very fair on pricing. I've used his services twice and will not hesitate to in the future.

This plumber was punctual, thorough, fast and very pleasant. They installed a unique water filtration system for us. I know who my go to plumber is for now on!

Amazing! I have an old house in the east end of Toronto and Valentin has done a number of jobs for me. Most recently he and his crew had to replace our clay pipes that had collapsed under the house. This was a huge job, but they went above and beyond. They had the permits arranged quickly, helped me with the city rebate form and arranged for the city inspector to come. Valentin and the crew were able to come, figure out the problem and have the work completed all within 2 days! And while they were there they fixed my dryer hose.not kidding! They are honest, affordable and hard working. The best!

Val is truly a master plumber. He is very knowledgeable, efficient as well as courteous. We found him on Homestars and we have not looked back. He installed our backwater valve, changed our pipes, waterproofed our basement and fixed the leaks in our washrooms and kitchen. All at a reasonable cost. He is also extremely patient and answers all our plumbing questions. He is always available when we need him and he always fixes it right the first time! We highly recommend him!
