Drains Fix coordination costs you nothing. You only pay the independent licensed contractor for the work they perform — with a free written estimate before any chargeable work begins.
A clear, no-surprise structure built around your control of the spend.
Calling, requesting service, and being matched with an available independent licensed contractor costs you nothing. We are paid by the contractor network — never by you.
The dispatched contractor inspects the situation on-site at no cost, then gives you a written estimate. You see the full price before any chargeable work begins.
Approve the estimate and the contractor proceeds. Decline it — no charge, no pressure, no obligation. The decision is always yours.

Correct. Calls to our coordination line are free, even for emergency dispatch. There is no charge until you approve a written estimate from the independent contractor on-site.
Because every plumbing situation is different — the actual scope, accessibility, materials, and time-of-day all affect the final price. The contractor sees what's there and prices accordingly. The ranges shown here are reference data from the typical Montreal market; your contractor's quote is what counts.
You decline it. No charge. You can also ask the contractor to explain the breakdown, or call us back and we'll coordinate a second independent contractor for a different opinion.
Drains Fix has a coordination arrangement with the independent contractor network, paid by the contractors — not by you. You pay the contractor only what's on their written estimate. Our coordination fee is never added to your invoice and is not your responsibility.
Yes — for example, the City of Montreal offers a substantial rebate for backwater valve installation. The dispatched contractor will tell you what applies in your borough and help with the paperwork.
No. Drains Fix does not charge customers anything. Any chargeable work and any invoice for that work comes directly from the independent licensed contractor.
The independent contractor can provide a detailed invoice and documentation typically accepted by Quebec insurers. We recommend confirming coverage with your insurer before work begins.
