What It Costs
 

What Will It Cost?

Most of what we do sits between $225 and $1,700 plus HST. Pick the job below and you will see the number, what it covers, and what would change it.

Choose a common plumbing job to see pricing.

Clogged sink or drain
from$300
Labour included, plus HST

A snake clears a path through the blockage. Jetting pressure-washes the inside of the pipe, which is what a kitchen line full of grease actually needs.

Drain snaked, fixture stays in place$300
Toilet pulled, snaked, reset$500
Kitchen line water-jetted clean, two to three hours$650
What moves it: where the blockage sits, whether a fixture has to come off to reach it, and whether the line needs jetting rather than snaking.
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.
Toilet
from$450
Supplied and installed, plus HST

Three models we install regularly. The price is the toilet and the swap together, so there is nothing to add afterwards.

American Standard Colony 3, round front, two-piece$450
American Standard Cadet Pro, elongated, slow-close$600
Kohler Highline, comfort height, elongated, slow-close$750
What moves it: the model you pick. The labour is the same across all three.
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.
Faucet or fixture
$225
Install only, you supply the faucet

Bring your own faucet and you pay for the install only. We can supply one instead, and the price below is the faucet and the install together.

Install only, your faucet$225
Moen Sleek pull-down kitchen faucet, installed$644
Moen Chateau bathroom faucet, installed$420
Before we can quote we need one thing customers never think to say: whether the sink is drilled for one hole, two or three.
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.
Water heater
from$1,700
Supplied and installed, plus HST

We replace water heaters rather than repairing them. On a unit that has failed, the parts and the labour usually cost more than the machine is worth.

40 gallon electric, like for like$1,700
50 gallon power-vented gas, like for like$2,900
Tank swapped for a tankless, conditions applyfrom $3,300
What moves it: the fuel, the size, and whether you are staying with the same type. Going tank to tankless needs an exterior wall for venting and gas near the equipment.
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.
Sump pump
from$625
Labour included, plus HST

A straight swap in a pit that already exists is the common job. Cutting a new pit into a basement floor is a different day of work.

Pump replaced in an existing pit$625
Pump replaced with a battery backup$1,700
New pit cut and dug, with pump$2,400
What moves it: whether the pit exists, and whether you want a backup that keeps the pump running when the power goes out.
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.
Leak or burst pipe
Priced in two parts
Find it first. Then price the repair.

A hidden leak has two parts: finding it and fixing it. Finding it can take diagnostic work, so that part is billed for the time and materials it takes. Once we know where the leak is and what has to come apart to reach it, we can price the repair.

What moves it: where the pipe is, whether it is behind a finished wall or ceiling, and how much has to come apart to reach it.
If water is running right now. Shut off the main, relieve the pressure at a faucet somewhere in the house, then call. There is a short video further down this page. When you call, we will tell you whether a visit charge applies before we come out.

What Local Customers Say

The second opinion

“They came in after another company quoted us thousands and thousands of dollars indicating all of our pipes were corroded and needed to be replaced under the basement floor. These guys came in and identified the issue was actually a small clog and were able to clear it out for a few hundred dollars.”

If Water Is Causing Damage Right Now

Shut the Water Off, Then Call

Shutting off your home’s main water supply may limit the damage while you wait. Call and we will tell you the earliest we can get to you. We do not offer 24/7 emergency service. Our team works scheduled hours, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm.

Every home is different, and your main shutoff may not look like the one in the video. Do not force a valve that will not turn, and do not enter an unsafe area to reach it. If you cannot safely shut off the water, contact your local water utility.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1Do you charge a service or diagnostic fee?
Some jobs we can price over the phone; others need an on-site look first. We tell you upfront whether a visit charge applies before we come out.
2Can you give me a price over the phone?
For common jobs, often yes. If your problem needs a look first, we will say so and explain the next step.
3Do I need to supply the faucet or fixture?
You can supply your own faucet, and the $225 install price reflects that. We can also supply one. A Moen Sleek pull-down kitchen faucet, which is the popular one, is $414 plus HST for the faucet alone or $644 plus HST installed. A Moen Chateau single handle bathroom faucet is about $195 for the faucet alone or $420 plus HST installed. Before we quote, we need to know whether your sink is drilled for one hole, two or three. If you supply the fixture, we install it and make sure it is working properly when we leave, but we cannot provide an ongoing warranty on equipment we did not supply. When we supply the fixture, the warranty is part of what you are paying for.
4Do you repair or replace water heaters?
We supply and install water heaters rather than repairing them. A tank heater supplied and installed starts at $1,700 plus HST, and you get the price before we start.
5How soon can you come?
We book during scheduled hours. Call and we will give you the earliest available time.
6What should I do if a pipe is leaking?
Shut off the water at your main if you can, relieve the pressure from the plumbing system at a faucet somewhere in the house, then call us.
7Do you clean up after the repair?
Yes. We clean the work area before we leave.
8Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. A licensed plumbing contractor, carrying $5 million in liability insurance, with WSIB coverage.
9What areas do you serve?
New Dundee and Wilmot Township, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and east to Milton, Halton Hills, Acton, Rockwood and Georgetown.
