My wife and I got RES's help to replace faucets and shower heads. The owner and representative Dimitri was very efficient, very open in communication and even guided us through any extra parts of items needed. Would definitely recommend and hope to see you again in the future for our plumbing needs! Thanks Dimitri!
Mohammad Alam
Incredible service, Demitri came so quickly, addressed the immediate emergency, provided direction as to what to do in the Spring. Incredibly knowledgeable, polite and patient.
Hanieh Mokhtari
Excellent communication and easy to work with. Demitre came on time and completed the job (remove old toilet, install new one) within an hour.
Bridgette Grant
Demitri was responsive, fast and efficient in fixing plumbing leak before serious damage occurred. Replaced plastic fitting for solid brass, and tested to ensure nothing else was leaking. Extremely professional. Thank you.
Anu Oladele
Dimitri has serviced our home on two occasions. We first had him install 3 new toilets which were completed with attention to detail. He's also very friendly and explains the work being done. Most recently we had Dimitri at our home to sort out faucet issues.
Andre
Demitri made two service calls to our home this summer, one for a major tub replacement after a flood, another to reset a faulty toilet. Both times Demitri was awesome. He was prompt, courteous, had fair pricing, and did a fantastic job. I would call Demitri again anytime and every time. Thanks Demitri for a job well done.
David Turner
Quick and efficient service. I ended up needing a plumber when I decided to change my dishwasher due to old style connections. Dimitri gave me an appointment right away, showed up on time and did a great job. Would recommend 100%.
Kiarash Farahani
I needed plumbing inspection in my house. I called Dimitri at R.E.S plumbing services. Dimitri responded quickly and gave me his first available appointment. He arrived on time. Dimitri is very polite. Very knowledgeable. He thoroughly inspected everything.
Ranjan Patel
This is an easy 5 stars. I don't often provide a review but this time I really felt the need to provide one for Demitri. He is a great guy. Very fair, professional, highly skilled, and focused on customer needs. He helped us when our upper bathtub was leaking.
T.
I was very impressed with the quality of work, the creative solutions and adaptability to the plumbing issue situation.
Jason Shantz
Easy 5 stars! I needed plumbing services, Demitri came same day within a couple hours. Very professional, knowledgeable, skilled and fairly priced! Within 20 mins the problem was solved and he left no mess behind. He even followed up after the visit and gave some recommendations. Great service, thank you!
Kowsalya
Demitri did an excellent job at my house. He was efficient, clean, and got the job done right. He even took the time to show me how to winterize my pipes. I will definitely hire this company again for my future plumbing needs.
Flora MG
I highly recommend this plumber! He is extremely responsible, honest, and truly professional. He always responds quickly to requests, arrives on time, and completes the work efficiently and with great quality. It's such a relief to find someone reliable.
Nina Burtseva
I had toilet installation that required rerouting the waterline in order for the new style toilet to fit. This was beyond what I could handle for DIY, and I am glad I called in the pros when I did. He gave me good advice for pausing the project to handle related work properly.
Joel Wilke
RES Plumbing did a fantastic job with my 4 bathrooms. Shutoff valves on sinks and toilets. He also noticed some hose plastic hold were cracking or in poor condition. The very last minute my wife wanted a new kitchen motion sensor faucet and they handled it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about basement plumbing and rough-in services in Vaughan and Woodbridge.

What exactly is a plumbing rough-in?
arrow_forward_ios

A plumbing rough-in is the installation of drain lines, water supply lines, and vent pipes before walls and floors are finished. It is the foundation that all your fixtures connect to, and it needs to be done correctly to pass inspection and function properly long-term.

Do I need a permit for basement plumbing in Vaughan?
arrow_forward_ios

In most cases, yes. The City of Vaughan requires plumbing permits for rough-in work, bathroom additions, and backwater valve installations. As Licensed Master Plumbers, we handle the permit application and ensure all work meets Ontario building code requirements.

What is a backwater valve and does my home need one?
arrow_forward_ios

A backwater valve prevents sewage from flowing back into your home during heavy rain or municipal sewer overloads. Vaughan and many GTA municipalities strongly recommend them, and some insurance companies offer premium discounts when one is installed. If your basement has ever had water backup, it is a smart investment.

Can you add a full bathroom to my basement?
arrow_forward_ios

Yes. We handle full bathroom rough-ins for basement renovations, including toilet, sink, and shower drain lines, water supply lines, and proper venting. We work with your contractor to ensure everything is ready for the finishing trades.

How long does a basement bathroom rough-in typically take?
arrow_forward_ios

A typical basement bathroom rough-in depends on the existing plumbing layout and scope of work. Most jobs take two to four days of plumbing work. We assess your basement and provide a clear timeline along with your quote so you can plan your renovation schedule.
