Two sides of the trade

Residential

Houses, townhomes and condo suites

Kitchen lines, toilets, showers, water heaters, sump pits and leaks in the walls.

Residential plumbing

Commercial

Restaurants, offices, shops and buildings

Grease interceptors, backflow tests, washroom fixtures, building drains and shared risers.

Commercial plumbing

Three reasons people pick up the phone

Nearly every call we take falls into one of these three. Say which one it is when we answer, and we load the truck to match.

Emergency

Water loose in the house

A burst supply line in the ceiling, sewage rising through the floor drain, a tank that let go in the utility room. Close the main, then call.

Burst and frozen pipes
Sewer backups and floor drains
Failed water heater tanks

Emergency plumbing

Repair

Something is clogged, dripping or running

The kitchen sink that holds greasy water, a toilet that runs all night, a shower valve that swings from hot to cold, a sump pump that hums but will not pump.

Where we travel

Burlington climbs from Lake Ontario over the Niagara Escarpment, and the plumbing changes with the elevation and the decade a street was built. Lakeside and downtown houses carry clay laterals and galvanized pipe; the 1970s to 1990s subdivisions above the QEW bring tired tanks and polybutylene; rural lots north of Dundas run on wells and septic. Every stop below has its own page about the pipes in those houses.

Work room by room

Plumbing trouble shows up in a room before it shows up on a bill. Pick the room and you will find the jobs we do there most.

Kitchen

Kitchen lines clog with fat, coffee grounds and starch long before anything shows at the sink. We unscrew the P-trap, feed a cable along the kitchen branch until it bites into the clog, then rinse the line with hot water. We also set new sinks, hook up garburators and dishwashers, replace cartridges in dripping faucets and chase the slow leak that has been rotting the cabinet floor.

A sink that drains fine but gurgles is often a vent or branch problem, not the trap.

Bathroom

Hair mats in tub drains, toilets that rock on a failed wax ring, flappers that let the tank run, shower valves with worn cartridges or no anti-scald protection. We open the access panel or the wall behind the valve, swap the guts or the whole body, reset toilets on new flanges and leave the floor dry.

If water shows on the ceiling below a bathroom, close the fixture stops before anything else.

Basement

Most of the heavy work lives downstairs: pits and pumps with battery backup, backwater valves set into a cut-open slab, floor drains that back up in a storm, gas and electric water heaters, pressure-reducing valves, softeners and the rough-in for a new basement bathroom. Older Burlington basements often still hide galvanized lines and cast-iron stacks.

Tag the main valve with a bright ribbon now; it usually lives near the water meter.

Outside & underground

Under the lawn sits the sewer lateral and water service. Roots find clay and older joints, so we run a camera down from the cleanout, cable or jet the line and mark where it breaks. Up top we replace split hose bibs with frost-free ones, thaw frozen lines, test backflow devices and run gas piping to barbecues and heaters.

Each October, shut the basement valve feeding every hose bib and leave the outside spout open to empty.

One call puts a plumber at your door, and you hear a plain account of the work before a wrench turns.

We snake kitchen lines, clear root-choked sewer laterals, swap failed tanks, rebuild running toilets and cut out leaking copper in houses from the Lakeshore up to the Escarpment. Slow sink, soaked ceiling or dead tank: name it when we pick up, and the van arrives loaded for exactly that.

Questions before you call

Do you cover all of Burlington?

Yes. Aldershot to Appleby, the Lakeshore up to Alton Village and the rural roads around Kilbride and Lowville, plus nearby Waterdown, Bronte and Hamilton Beach.

How do I book a plumber?

Phone only. There is no form on this site. Call (365) 464-5184 and describe the fixture, the floor and what the water is doing.

What should I do while I wait?

With water loose, turn the main valve clockwise till it stops, then open a basement tap to bleed pressure. If a drain is backing up, stop running water and flushing upstairs.

Do you snake main sewer lines?

Yes. We cable laterals from the cleanout, camera them to see roots or breaks, and jet lines that keep clogging with grease or silt.

Can you replace a rental water heater?

Usually yes, but check your rental agreement first. Some contracts have buyout or removal terms, so read the current terms before the old tank comes out.
