24/7 Toronto plumbers
Old houses. Straight answers. A price before we start. Cast-iron stacks, clay laterals, soft lead services and basement floor drains that back up in August storms. That is the plumbing under most of old Toronto, and it is what we open up every day.

Same plumbers, same phone number, different hardware. Pick the side that fits your building.
HomesResidential plumbing
Semis with cast-iron stacks, bungalows with clay laterals, condo suites with one shared riser. We work on the plumbing that sits under, behind and between Toronto homes.
BusinessesCommercial plumbing
Restaurant grease lines, retail washrooms, office risers and low-rise rental buildings. We work around your hours so the doors can stay open while the pipes get fixed.
Service area
Each part of the city hides different pipes. Here is what we expect to find before the van is parked.
How it works
No forms and no callback queue. One phone call starts the job.
Say where the leak or backup is. If water is still running, we talk you to the main shut-off first.
You hear the call-out rate before a plumber is dispatched, so there is no surprise at the door.
Camera, gauge or a look under the sink. You get the cause in plain words and a price for the repair.
Work starts when you say yes. We pressure-test or flow-test, wipe down and haul away the old parts.

From the job
Pipe wrenches, cut copper, open traps and wet basement floors. This is what a working week looks like under Toronto houses.
Find the cause before cutting the wall. A camera down the stack or a gauge on the hose bib saves more plaster than any saw.
We clear drains with drum augers and cameras, cut out split copper, sweat on new couplings, trade stuck gate valves for new ball valves, pull and reset toilets on fresh wax, and drain, flush or replace tired water heaters. You hear the call-out rate on the phone and a repair price before anything gets cut.
Before we arrive
Usually on the front foundation wall beside the meter. Clockwise until it stops.
Gas tank to “Pilot”, electric tank off at the breaker.
No laundry, showers or flushing while a drain is backing up.
Say what is leaking or backing up, and on which floor.
Right now on the trucks
Grey water or sewage at the basement drain: stop using water upstairs and call.
Close the main at the meter, open a low tap and leave the wall alone until we arrive.
Check the pilot window or the breaker, then call with the model plate handy.
Turn the stop behind the bowl clockwise, lift the lid and push the flapper down.
Questions
Yes. The phone is answered around the clock, including holidays, by someone who can send a plumber with a truck stocked for drains and leaks.
Yes. The call-out rate is quoted on the phone, and the repair is priced after diagnosis, before any pipe is cut or drain is opened.
When a job needs a City plumbing permit, such as a backwater valve, sewer lateral or water service replacement, we apply and book the inspection.
Trade notes
Plain guides from the job: what to check yourself, what to leave alone, and when the wrench should stay in the drawer.
A plumber answers day and night, and the call-out rate is quoted before anyone drives over.
