Yes, for a year when we supply the equipment. We pick brands we trust, and that’s what lets us stand behind them.

Do you pull permits?

Yes, where the work requires one, and we book the inspection.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. For water heaters, though, financing or renting through one of the large water heater rental companies will usually cost you less. We can’t match their financing terms, and we’d rather tell you that up front. For other work, ask about financing when we give you the price.

Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?

For our existing customers, yes. Our regular hours are Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Emergency calls are $230 an hour for one plumber, or $366 an hour when the job needs two, with a 2-hour minimum, plus HST and materials.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve, open a low tap to drain pressure, then call us.
