Plumber in Etobicoke
Blocked drains, running toilets, leaks and frozen pipes, fixed in Etobicoke. You get the price before any work starts.
Etobicoke has two kinds of plumbing
Older houses in The Kingsway, Islington and Mimico, with clay or cast iron sewer lines and big old trees above them. And the newer towers along Humber Bay Shores, where one leak can reach the unit below.
Older houses
Tree roots in the main line, a basement floor drain that backs up in heavy rain, galvanized pipes that have narrowed inside.
Condos and townhouses
Toilets that won't stop running, slow shared stacks, a leak that needs finding before the neighbour downstairs finds it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you handle both residential and commercial plumbing needs?
Yes. Houses, condos and townhouses, and small commercial spaces like shops, offices and restaurants. For a commercial job, tell us your opening hours and we'll plan the work around them.
What do I do if my water pressure is too low or too high?
Low pressure at one tap usually means a clogged aerator, so unscrew it and rinse it. Low pressure everywhere can be a partly closed main valve, a failing pressure regulator or old galvanized pipe. Pressure that bangs the pipes or makes taps spit is too high, and a pressure-reducing valve fixes it. Call us if a quick check doesn't sort it.
How can I prevent frozen pipes during cold Etobicoke winters?
Shut off and drain the outdoor taps before the first hard frost. Wrap any pipe that runs along an outside wall or through the garage. On the coldest nights, open the cupboard doors under sinks on outside walls so warm air gets in.
What are the signs of a hidden water leak in my home?
A water bill that jumps for no reason, a meter that moves when every tap is off, a musty smell, paint that bubbles, or a soft spot in the floor. Turn everything off and watch the meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, there's a leak.
How do I check for and fix a running toilet?
Put a few drops of food colouring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. Colour in the bowl means the flapper is leaking and needs replacing. If the water is running into the overflow tube instead, lower the float. Still running? Book a toilet repair.
