Toronto’s diverse neighborhoods with everything from the beauty of Cabbagetown brick houses to the elegant condos in Etobicoke All are built on one foundation: reliable plumbing systems working quietly in the background.

Mister Plumber provides future-proof solutions to homeowners, which will help them prevent expensive damage from water, increase efficiency, and decrease health risks. Making sure your home is secure and stress-free with smart upgrades in proactive maintenance and expert guidance.

Stop sewer backflows and flood damage

Sewer backflow, in which wastewater is able to flow into your home is a leading cause of basement flooding in Toronto. This costly and messy issue is often caused by excessive rain or blockages in the drain pipes connecting your home to Toronto’s sanitary system. Backwater valves are a vital barrier that lets wastewater flow, while also preventing it from returning. This small device could save thousands in water damage repairs, especially during the storms that hit Toronto. The City of Toronto offers generous rebates to offset installation costs which makes it a cost-effective upgrade for homeowners who are eligible. Professional Toronto plumbers will assess the drainage system of your home, suggest the best valve type, and ensure that your installation be in line with municipal requirements. Sewage pumps can be a good alternative to backwater valves. They are able to effectively manage excess water in areas that are susceptible to flooding, particularly those that are low-lying.

Replace Old Pipes to Protect Health and Property

Toronto’s cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to root invasion cracks, leaks and cracks in houses built prior to 1985. The Annex, Riverdale and other areas older than that are plagued by these aging pipes. They can increase the risk of basement flooding. Modernizing the pipes to newer materials like PVC or ABS will ensure durability and resistance to the stress of the environment. The lead pipes that are still in use in a few homes from before the 1980s are equally concerning. The lead contamination of drinking water can result in serious health issues including neurological problems and kidney problems, especially in pregnant women and infant children. Install lead-free pipes in your house with copper or PEX to improve safety and ensure the health of your family. Plumbers in Toronto use advanced diagnostics, such as camera inspections, to identify vulnerable pipes and execute seamless replacements with minimal disruption.
