How fast does it need a wrench?
Scarborough is a big place to plumb. Wartime cottages near the Bluffs, fifties bungalows along Lawrence and Eglinton, Malvern townhouse rows, a forest of rental towers and brand-new condos near the Town Centre: each one hides a different mix of copper, galvanized steel, cast iron, ABS and old clay. We work through all of it with the same habit. Before a single fitting comes off, the plumber writes a short job sheet that says what failed, what we will cut out and what goes back in. When the work is done, we run water, watch the joints, and tick the sheet in front of you.
The trade below is sorted the way a service manual should be: by how urgent the problem really is. If water is spraying, pooling or coming back up a floor drain, the first column is yours and the right move is to shut the main and phone. A drip, a slow sink or a lukewarm shower can wait a day or two. Upgrades like a backwater valve or a new tankless heater are worth planning around the season.
Every page on this site ends in the same place, a phone number. There is no quote form and no chatbot. You describe the problem to a person who understands plumbing, and that person tells you honestly whether it needs a truck tonight or a visit later in the week.

Where the trucks go
Scarborough stretches from Victoria Park Avenue east to the Rouge River and from the lake up to Steeles. Water reaches most homes from the city system fed by Lake Ontario, and wastewater from much of the east end heads to the Highland Creek treatment plant. Inside the walls, though, the plumbing changes block by block with the age of the houses.
Each neighbourhood page lists the pipe and drain faults our plumbers keep meeting, from the cast-iron stacks of Wexford to the shallow crawlspaces of Cliffside.

Questions callers ask first
Do you charge to come out?
Ask on the phone. The plumber will explain how the visit is billed before a truck is sent, so the bill holds no surprises when the truck arrives. We never quote a repair blind; the price follows the job sheet once we have seen the problem.
How quickly can someone get to me?
It depends on where the trucks are and how bad the leak is. Active flooding and sewer backups jump the queue. Phone and you will hear an honest estimate, not a four-hour window.
Can you work on older Scarborough homes with cast iron and galvanized pipe?
Yes. Much of the housing south of the 401 was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and those original drain stacks and steel supply lines are a large part of our week.
Why is there no booking form?
Plumbing problems are easier to sort out in a two-minute conversation. A form cannot ask where your shut-off is or whether the water is clear or grey. A plumber can.
Do you handle permits?
Where the work needs a City of Toronto plumbing permit, such as a new rough-in or a backwater valve, we tell you up front and arrange it as part of the job.
Pick up the phone, we pick up the wrench
Shut the water off if you need to, then call. A plumber picks up, asks the right questions and tells you what happens next.
