About North York Plumbing Services

Each ticket opens with a call to (365) 517-5705. The desk asks three things: which fixture is acting up, what the symptom looks like, and since when. A plumber shows up with that written on the sheet, opens the trap, cleanout, access panel or valve that matters, and tells you the cause before any parts get cut out.

How a work order runs

  1. Call. Say it plainly: the basement floor drain came up, the toilet rocks, the water heater pops.
  2. Open it up. We pull the trap, run the cable or the camera, read the meter, check the burner.
  3. Write it up. Cause, fix, and anything that could change once the pipe is apart go on paper first.
  4. Sign off. We flood-test, pressure-test or cycle the pump, then list what was replaced.

Plumber's tip: No prices on this site. Until somebody has looked down the drain or behind the access panel, any number is a guess. The desk will explain how a job like yours is priced.

What we find under North York houses

Most streets between Highway 401 and Steeles were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Behind the drywall that usually means a 4-inch cast-iron stack, galvanized branch lines choked with scale, and a clay sewer lateral with a joint every few feet where roots get in. Bedford Park, Lansing and East York go back further, and some of those homes still carry a lead water service from the street.

The newer layer is different work: Willowdale and Lawrence Manor rebuilds with PEX manifolds, tankless heaters and three or four bathrooms draining into an old lateral, plus Yonge Street condos with in-suite shut-offs and shared risers. One day can go from rodding roots out of a 1952 bungalow to pulling a burnt-out sump pump in a 2015 basement.

Water on the basement floor

Storm water and sewer backup reach basements through the floor drain, the weeping tile and cracks at the cove joint. The fixes are mechanical: a mainline backwater valve cut into the building drain, a sump pit with a working pump and a backup, and downspouts carried away from the wall. Toronto has run a subsidy for some of this work; confirm the current terms with the City first.

Scale, sediment and hot water

North York pulls its supply out of Lake Ontario, which holds enough hardness to leave white crust on aerators, packs sediment into the bottom of tank heaters and clogs the heat exchanger in tankless units. A yearly flush through the drain valve, or a descale with isolation valves on a tankless, keeps the burner from rumbling and the recovery time short.

What we will not do

No work begins unless it is written on the order and approved. We do not invent urgency. If a 30-year-old faucet is not worth a cartridge, we say so; if a job needs a gas technician or a permit, you hear that before booking.

Three things callers ask first

Do you take bookings online?

No. Booking happens by phone only, so you speak to a person who writes up your job before a plumber is sent.

Which parts of North York do you cover?

The whole former city of North York, from the Humber River to the Don Valley and from Highway 401 north to Steeles, plus nearby communities listed on the parishes page.

Will I get a written plan before work starts?

Yes. The plumber writes down the cause, the proposed work and anything that could change it, and you approve it first.
