He did work for me. He charged me 5000 for him to do my toilet. He brought a helper along with him who he treated very poorly. I paid him half of the money and when I called him to come finish the job he blocked my number. Very bad service. I will not be calling him back.
Hello, im warning everyone stay away from Plumber Dave he is unlicensed and a scam artist.
He quoted me a price to redo all of my plumbing for a renovation project for my whole house he quoted me $4000 which included rough in and final.
Along the way I replaced the bath tub upstair in which my father and I did majority of the work. He charged me
$300 to do the connection plus made a huge $100 profit in selling me the tub that he charged me $400 for which I came to find out through his supplier at NOBLE only costed $250 plus tax.
Dave is very unprofessional first he gets you with a small deposit and then demands more than 50% payment before the work is anywhere near completed. He is a known liar on more than one occasion throughout the winter he says he blew 2 tires and got stuck in snow on more than one occasion. He will spend hours "shopping" for supplies while still charging per the hour. He yells and be littles his helper "Steve".
The straw that broke my back was when he demanded full payment of the plumbing while the rough in wasn't even complete and he began to argue and yell at me that his quote didn't include completed work AKA final . The toilet wasn't even roughed in and my garden tap wasn't connected and the promised 3/4 line from city to water tank didn't happen and new main shut off valves were not changed. "those were not included in his price" according to Dave. he claimed he wasn't allowed to change the shut off valves inside the house. This Guy Drank everyday working in my basement leaving cans of beer behind.
Dave pulled a big scene in front of myself and the project manager of my basement Renos for refusing to pay him his final $300 even though he wasn't finished. I had already paid him more than $4000 for his incomplete work + additional connections.
I had to call in another plumber who I highly recommend that finished my basement plumbing for $300 and he corrected a lot of Daves mistakes.
The only credit I will give Dave is he used Uponor Pex Lines and fittings but the guy is so greedy he demanded all the copper he cut out to replace with the pex lines.
I would never trust a guy like Dave ever again. I had to call the police because he threatened me and my project manager.
Plumber dave came to my house because I had a pipe that sprung a leak. He came in. Took a look and quoted me 400$ for the work and assured me it would be no more than that. He came in and did the work and left. Then I went to use my toilet and it did not work. So I called him back. He then proceeded to tell me it was the guts of the toilet were no good and that was the problem. Little did he know I had another plumber friend come over and take a look. It turned out that he did not reconnect the cold water line to the toilet and I had to point that out to him. He then became very mad and started treating his helper poorly as well as raising his voice to me. While my daughters nearby. Very unprofessional. He then charged me an extra 200$ for his mistake and told me "it was not his problem" and " just pay". I have since found out his license had been suspended by the ontario college of trades. So now he is working without a license. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN! Unless you want a poor job done and pay through the roof for him.
I found Plumber Dave on Kijiji in London Ontario about two years ago to fix two drains and investigate a leak in my tub. I never did find any review on him at that time. He claimed about 20 years experience. His ad was for London, but I don't know where he came from but it took him over an hour to load up his truck and travel, all on the clock. He arrived with a partner, sealed the drains but insisted that he needed to fix my toilet or I would have a flood for sure. I was never clear what the problem was, - as for the tub he cut an access hole in my wall in the room next to it, but was still not able to figure out the problem. I pointed out to him what I thought the problem could be, a chip in the enamel. He filled the tub and yup, - that was the problem. Said he needed to go out to get the parts to fix the toilet (by this point all 3 needed to be repaired) and the enamel in the tub. He went out shopping for what he needed, all on the clock and was gone over 2 hours. Turns out he bought the cheapest replacement kits you could get at home depot, - still not convinced it was at all necessary and then let me know that he couldn't fix the tub. His bill was shocking. I asked for a breakdown of the bill and he let me know that 'he could write it all out, but if he did it that way it might not turn out in my favour'. Very bad experience, he was a very poor problem solver who left me feeling scammed.
Plumber Dave over charged me and admitted it. Could not/would not validate fee. When I confronted him he started yelling at me and tried back pedalling. Wanted to fix something else that had nothing to do with plumbing and I told him not to bother and he said he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't fix it. He then charged me! The work he did had to be redone by another plumber. Floor drain was put in the wrong place and so was tap rough in. Left plastic piping hanging in basement. Did not show plumbers licence nor did he communicate anything he was buying. I would NOT recommend this person. NOT trustworthy. I feel I got taken! He was also very rude and disrespectful to his partner who is his father. Quite embarrassing.
