Spend your money wisely -- basement drain blockage.

boringwinter(EnjoySummer)
I got the basement flood twice in the last 1 month. Called in the same plumber (from Xingtao) twice, and the problem is not completely solved.

Feeling like I have a bomb in my basement which will explode anytime, I started to do the research on yellow pages and city of toronto's website. To my surprise, instead of paying hundreds $$$ to plumbers, the city crew could come to your house FOR FREE.

It is a 24/7 service. Although I have not yet used the service, I hope that this is helpful for the 'lucky' homeowners like me.

    • But the grant only 2000 dollars. You will spend much more than that if you have to replace old pipe in your basement. -ohoracle(叶满秋池); 2008-3-13 (#4328726@0)
      • The city crew will open up the blockage for u for free. And they will give you advises on whether it is caused by tree roots. It is your choice to replace the old pipe or not. If you do, u could apply the tree roots grant. -boringwinter(EnjoySummer); 2008-3-13 (#4328738@0)
