Residential Plumbing for Whitby Homes

House calls we handle

• Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains that slow down or back up.
• Gas, electric and tankless water heaters: repairs and swaps.
• Sump pits, standby pumps and mainline backwater valves.
• Pinhole leaks, split pipes after frost, and full repipes.
• Faucets, toilets, shower valves and new fixture rough-ins.

The housing stock we work in

Whitby's homes span a wide range. Downtown and near the harbour you find older brick brick homes whose cast iron stacks and galvanized lines have scaled up inside. Subdivisions from the 1970s and 1980s mostly carry copper supply and ABS drains. Newer streets in Brooklin and Taunton North arrive with PEX manifolds, sump pits and backwater valves already roughed in. Each era fails differently, so we start every visit by identifying the pipe we are looking at.

How a residential visit runs

1. You phone and describe the symptom; we ask a few pointed questions.
2. On site we find the shut-off, look, listen and test before touching anything.
3. Before any tool comes out, we name the failed part and the repair we have in mind.
4. We repair, pressure-test or flow-test, and clean up the work area.

Before the plumber arrives

• Locate the main shut-off, usually beside the meter in the basement.
• Clear a path to the furnace room, floor drain and any cleanout.
• Stop using fixtures on the affected line so nothing overflows.
• Note the brand and age printed on the water heater label.
