Plumbing issues are unpredictable, and the damages can become quite severe and costly very quickly. To help aid in times of crises, City Rooter offers emergency plumbing services for residential and commercial properties in Toronto and the GTA. Our licensed and insured plumbers have 24/7 availability and are ready to assist at any moment, providing immediate relief and solutions to your urgent plumbing needs.

Common Emergency Plumbing Situations

There are many plumbing issues that can be disruptive to not only your schedule and budget, but also can be a cause for concern to the health and safety of your property. Our 24-hour plumbers are trained and experienced in handling all sorts of different plumbing emergencies. Here are some common situations you may find yourself facing:

  • Burst, Cracked, or Collapsed Pipes: Freezing, sub-zero temperatures combined with growing roots from nearby plants and trees can pose a serious threat to the condition of your plumbing system.
  • Clogged Drains & Backed-up Sewers: Old clay pipes or flushing waste items like chemicals, food scraps, and other debris down the drains can cause your pipes to clog. Backed up sewers means your wastewater can’t flow out of your home or business for proper disposal.
  • Overflowing Toilet: Caused by flushing sanitary products, excess toilet paper and other items that don’t belong there. It’s important to shut down the water supply to locate the sewage backup and prevent flooding and water damage.
  • Failed Sump Pump: A working sump pump flushes water out of the basement, especially when snow melts and heavy rain falls. The moment this device fails, your basement could flood, so repair or replace your sump pump right away.

Preventative Measures and Maintenance

Regular plumbing maintenance and consistent sewer camera inspections can save you and your property from a plumbing disaster. Whether it’s paying closer attention to what you flush down the drains, locating leaks right away, or replacing old fixtures like clay pipes, there are cautionary measures you can take to prevent back-ups, clogs, flooding, and other worst-case scenarios. Here are a few maintenance tips you can do to prevent a plumbing emergency:

  • Conduct visual inspections
  • Winterize plumbing systems
  • Avoid chemical cleaners
  • Schedule proactive replacements

I highly recommend Alexie and his partner for all your plumbing needs. We recently moved to a new home and had an issue in our main bathroom, I called Alexie and he was able to come to my place for inspection within few hours only. Luckily the fix was easy and the price was fair and reasonable. City Rooters are definitely my go to for future plumbing needs.

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).
