What It Costs
 

What Will It Cost?

Most of what we do sits between $225 and $1,700 plus HST. Pick your job to see the starting price, then open its page for what it covers and what would change it.

Drains and clogsfrom $300

Slow or blocked sink, tub or floor drain. We snake it, or hydro jet it when grease has built up.

Toiletsfrom $450

Running, leaking or cracked. A running toilet is often a $300 repair, not a new toilet.

Faucets and fixturesfrom $225

Drips, leaks and new faucets. Count the holes in your sink before you call.

Water heatersfrom $1,700

No hot water, or a tank that’s leaking. Most swaps take 2 to 5 hours.

Pipe repairsfrom $300

Pinhole leaks, burst pipes and old galvanized lines, repaired or replaced.

See prices and details →
Leak detectionfrom $1,500

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, fully insured: $5 million liability, plus WSIB (workplace insurance), so you’re never on the hook if someone gets hurt.
9What areas do you serve?
New Dundee and Wilmot Township, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and east to Milton, Halton Hills, Acton, Rockwood and Georgetown.
