Nearly 100 Years of Service

For over nine decades, A Alert Drain Limited has serviced Toronto and surrounding areas. In 1927, Frank pioneered the business out of his residence on Bloem Avenue. With his commitment to honest, courteous, and affordable service, A Alert Drain quickly developed a solid reputation as an expert in the community.

In the 1950s, Frank passed the business to his son. After receiving his D9 license, Bill Passer carried on his father’s entrepreneurial spirit by expanding Alert Drain’s services to meet the changing needs of a growing city. By embracing new technologies and techniques in the office and on the job A Alert Drain remained a leader in the industry by setting the standard for drain service. Forty three years later in 1992, Bill’s daughters Gloria and Lillian took over the operation and have recruited the best professionals in drain maintenance and plumbing.

In 1997, A Alert Drain’s main office was relocated from the family residence on Bloem Avenue to the commercial office on Edgeley Boulevard in Concord Ontario, which the business occupies to this day. With his daughters at the helm, Alert Drain has emerged as one of the most experienced names in the business.

Today, a handful of Frank’s great great grandchildren are now learning the family trade. Together, the family is committed to continue delivering on Frank’s promise of honest, courteous, and affordable service.
