What we handle inside a family home
Most Etobicoke houses mix old and new: a cast-iron stack from the fifties, copper risers from a later reno, and PEX added for a basement suite. We work across all of it.
- Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains cleared with the right size cable
- Toilets reset on new wax or foam seals, flanges repaired
- Leaking copper or galvanized pipe cut out and replaced
- Tank and tankless water heaters swapped, vented and tested
- Sump pits, pumps and mainline backwater valves
- Faucets, shower valves, hose bibs and main shut-offs renewed
Signs it is time to ring
- Two fixtures gurgle or back up at the same time
- A ceiling stain grows below a bathroom
- The water heater rumbles, leaks at the base or runs short
- The floor drain smells of sewage after rain
- The main valve will not turn, or turns and does not stop the water
The order of a house call
- Ring us, say which fixture is acting up, and we point you to the right valve.
- A plumber arrives, protects the floor and finds the cause before cutting anything.
- You get the options in plain words, with what each one involves.
- We do the work, then test it under pressure or full flow.
- The area is wiped down and the old parts are bagged and taken away.
Housing stock we see most
Post-war bungalows in Alderwood and Long Branch, 1960s backsplits around Eringate and Richview, Kingsway two-storeys with original clay laterals, and newer towns near Humber Bay. Each comes with its own typical faults, and our community pages explain them street by street.
Good to know before we arrive
- Move boxes away from the main valve and the tank
- Note when the problem started and which fixtures it affects
- Tell us about any finished ceilings or flooring below the fault
- Rental units: let the owner or tenant know a plumber is coming
