FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency, and when should I call for help?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that threatens to damage your property, compromise safety, or interrupt essential water or drainage services. Common examples include burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, no hot water, and gas line issues. If shutting off a fixture’s valve or the main water supply does not stop the problem—or if you are unsure how to proceed—call our Thorn Hill emergency plumbing team immediately.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Thorn Hill?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are on‐call in Thorn Hill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Whether your pipe bursts at midnight or your sump pump fails on a Sunday, we dispatch qualified technicians at any hour to restore your plumbing quickly and safely.
How fast can an emergency plumber reach my home or business in Thorn Hill?
Because we have teams strategically stationed throughout Thorn Hill and the surrounding area, our average response time is 60 minutes or less. Once you place a call, our dispatcher will give you an estimated arrival window and keep you updated if traffic or weather conditions change that estimate.
What costs should I expect for an emergency plumbing visit?
We charge a small, flat emergency dispatch fee that covers travel and after-hours staffing. After diagnosing the problem on site, the plumber will provide upfront, itemized pricing for the necessary repairs. We never start work until you approve the quote, and we do not add hidden fees. We accept major credit cards, debit, e-transfer, and offer financing options for large, unexpected repairs.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Turn off the closest shut-off valve or the main water supply to stop further water flow. 2) If safe, disconnect electricity in areas where water is spreading. 3) Move valuables and electronics away from the affected zone. 4) Place buckets or towels to contain leaks. 5) Avoid using clogged drains or toilets. 6) Do not try complex repairs yourself—this can worsen damage. Our technician will guide you over the phone if additional steps are needed before arrival.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and fully equipped to handle any issue?
Absolutely. Every technician is provincially licensed, WSIB-covered, and fully insured. Our service vans arrive stocked with advanced diagnostic tools, pipe repair materials, drain-cleaning machines, water heaters, sump pumps, and replacement fittings. This allows most emergencies—burst pipes, sewer blockages, water heater failures, and more—to be resolved in a single visit, restoring your plumbing system to safe operation.
