Hands down the best contractor I’ve ever hired to work at our home. Super nice owner and crew, incredible workmanship, clean, and fair price. There’s no reason to look elsewhere, City Rooter is #1 in my books. Thank you so much for the couple weeks of sewer and waterproofing work you did @ our home. It’s such a great feeling knowing you picked the right contractor for the job.

We would highly recommend City Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services. We were flooded like so many in our area. After the recommendations of several of our neighbours, we had them installed a back water valve on our main drain. They were knowledgeable and professional. We feel confident the job was done well and will make a difference in the future.

Timely and trustworthy company. I would definitely recommend hiring Alexei and his team for your next plumbing project whether big or small. They completed main house water and sewer upgrades, Guest house water and sewer lines and all rough in work. All work was done within timelines agreed and site was left clean. I would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option.

I hired City Rooter Plumbing to upgrade the private side of my main water line from lead to copper in downtown Toronto. It's a tight site, but that was not a challenge or obstacle for them. They did not make a fuss about working downtown and potential parking issues (which is something I hear often from other trades). Alexei and his brother were informative and generous with their time and knowledge while meeting with me to provide the initial estimate (they offered me guidance on the underground drains, which was outside the scope). They seem to care about their work and take pride in it. A crew of three showed up and completed the job on time. Alexei was very communicative. The entire crew did not mind if I watched (it was neat to watch the torpedo in action for the trenchless water line replacement).

Great plumbing company. Alexei and his partner are both great to work with.I have used them twice, once for a back up in my laundry room (unfortunately they could not help as it was a city related issue) but they came and did everything they could to help and were very fair and honest in price.The second time was for two bad valves on my water heater. They arrived same day, quickly fixed the issue and once again were very professional and fair.I would definitely recommend Alexei for any plumbing related work.It's great to see that there are still honest and knowledgeable contractors out there!

A great experience based on a large residential renovation/ bathroom remodel. The team was reliable, hard working and all around good guys who seemed very trustworthy.They even returned to the house afterwards to help address an issue that arose after the fact (not due to their error).

Yes, older pipes should be replaced. However, different pipes have varying lifespans. Brass, galvanized steel, and cast-iron pipes have an average lifespan of 80 to 100 years. Copper pipes typically last 70 to 80 years, and PVC pipes have a lifespan of 24 to 50 years.

Here are a few signs that older pipes need replacing:

  • Leaking water
  • Discoloured water
  • Corrosion
  • Low water pressure

An estimated 30,000 homes in Toronto have lead pipes. Many of these houses were built in the mid 1950s before lead piping was banned in Canada. Homes built in or before 1975 should be checked for lead pipes as lead contaminated water can cause irreversible and potentially life threating illnesses.

PEX, ABS, PVC, and copper pipes are safe and modern water line replacement materials. Each material has its own set and advantages and disadvantages in terms of their lifespan, affordability, and rust resistance. Contact City Rooter plumbing and drain experts in Toronto for further guidance and assistance on water line replacements.

The size of your water line must coincide with the flow rate of your water. Consult City Rooter for more information on finding the right size water line for your home.

The first step you need to take if a pipe bursts or you have a major water leak is to shut off the main water. This will prevent excessive damage to your home and belongings. Next, call City Rooter for emergency Toronto plumbing services. Our trained, license, and experienced plumbers are available 24/7 to repair burst or cracked pipes.

Yes, hydro jetting is safe, effective, and efficient. Unlike pouring chemicals down your drains, hydro jetting is completely toxic-free and improves your plumbing system’s longevity.

A weekly or monthly cleaning schedule is recommended to keep your drains from clogging. Frequent cleaning varies depending on usage. Call City Rooter for drain maintenance services, including drain line cleaning, snaking, and hydro jetting.

Drain snaking involves the use of a hooked or bladed cable. The snake is inserted into the clogged drain and pushed through until it reaches the blockage. The snake is then maneuvered to dislodge and remove the source of the clog. Hydro jetting use high-pressure water to clean and unclog pipes. This method is suitable for deep clogs.

Regular drain maintenance in combination with responsible drain usage is key to avoiding clogs. Here are a few preventative tips:

  • Avoid harmful drain cleaners
  • Use drain screens or covers
  • Eliminate grease
  • Avoid flushing food or large debris down the drain
  • Rinse drains with hot water
