Winter plumbing
Squalls off the Bay, deep cold snaps and cottages left empty for weeks: frozen pipes are the classic winter call here. We thaw the line, find the split and handle frozen pipe repair and burst pipe repair before the thaw floods the room.
How we thaw frozen pipes: no torches, no open flame. We warm the pipe slowly, then check every joint once water flows, because the split often shows up only after the thaw.
Frozen water line: whose job is it?If the frozen section is on your property, it's yours to fix and you call a plumber. The Township and OCWA handle the municipal side of the service.
How cold is it tonight?
Heated rooms are fine. Watch pipes on outside walls, in the garage and in an empty cottage.
Open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, keep the heat steady day and night, and let a thin trickle run from the tap farthest from the main.
Heat the crawlspace, trickle cold taps overnight. If a tap slows or stops, shut the main and call us before the pipe splits.

Bathroom and kitchen
The small jobs that drive you crazy every day: a running toilet, a dripping faucet, a shower that won't hold its temperature. Fixed in one visit whenever the part is on the truck.
Water lines
The line that brings water into the house, and the device that keeps it from flowing back into the drinking water system.
In Victoria Harbour, Port McNicoll and Waubaushene, the water service line from the property line to the house is the homeowner's. Leaks, frozen sections, old lines that crack: we repair it or handle the water line replacement.
Who owns what
Tay By-law 2016-76 protects the drinking water system. Homes with a well or right on the Bay, and homes in Paradise Point and Grandview Beach with more than one water source, needed a backflow device or a declaration of a single water supply. Testable devices are tested every year, and the owner keeps the reports for five years.
Quick check
No box checked: you most likely have a single water supply.
You may need a backflow device. Ask us at the visit and we'll check your setup.
Heating
Heating and plumbing share the same pipes, vents and controls, so one call covers both. Repairs, replacements and seasonal service before the cold sets in.
Boiler repair and yearly boiler service for radiators and in-floor heat. Combi boilers that heat the house and the water.
Furnace repair when the heat quits on a cold night, furnace installation and seasonal tune-ups.

We came home to water spreading across the basement floor after a really cold night. A copper pipe had split near an outside wall, and we couldn't get the old shutoff valve to close properly. The plumber isolated the water, cut out the damaged section and installed a new fitting. He checked the other exposed pipes before turning everything back on. What I appreciated most was that he explained where the cold air was getting in and what we could do to prevent another freeze. The repair has held up and the basement is dry again.
Burst Pipe RepairOur sump pit was filling up during the spring thaw, but the pump wasn't kicking in. I tried checking the outlet and lifting the float, with no luck. The technician tested the pump and found the motor had failed. He installed a replacement, checked the discharge line and ran several test cycles. The water level dropped exactly as it should. Glad we caught it before it flooded the finished basement.
Sump Pump ReplacementOur well pump was starting every time someone opened a tap, even just to rinse a cup. I was worried the pump was wearing out. The plumber checked the pressure switch and tank and discovered the tank's internal bladder had failed. He replaced the pressure tank and set the air charge. Water pressure is steady now and the pump isn't cycling constantly. Much better than replacing the entire well system.
Well Pump & Pressure TankWe were running out of hot water halfway through the second shower. Our electric water heater wasn't that old, so I wanted it checked before buying another one. The technician tested the heating elements and found the lower one had failed. He replaced it, checked the thermostats and explained how long the tank would take to heat back up. It's working normally again, and we didn't have to replace the whole unit.
Water Heater RepairBoth kitchen sinks were backing up, and cleaning the trap underneath didn't help. The plumber used a drain machine to reach a grease blockage farther down the line. He cleared it, put everything back together and ran hot and cold water to make sure it drained properly. He also showed us where the buildup had been. No more standing water or gurgling from the sink.
Kitchen Drain CleaningWhen we opened our cottage for the summer, we noticed a slow leak under the kitchen sink. The old shutoff valve was also stiff and wouldn't close fully. The plumber replaced the valve and a leaking supply connection, then checked the rest of the exposed plumbing for winter damage. Everything was tested before he left. It was good to have the water working properly before family arrived.
Cottage PlumbingA small puddle kept appearing around the base of our upstairs toilet after flushing. I checked the supply line and tank, but both were dry. The technician lifted the toilet and found the wax seal had failed. He inspected the floor flange, installed a new seal and secured the toilet properly. Several flush tests later, there was no sign of a leak. The bathroom was left clean too.
Toilet Leak RepairOur water softener was still using salt, but we started noticing mineral spots on the taps and shower glass again. The technician checked the control settings and regeneration cycle, then found a blocked brine injector. He cleaned the assembly and tested the regeneration process. He also showed us what to watch for when checking the salt tank. The water has been softening properly since the visit.
