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: Old clay pipes or flushing waste items like chemicals, food scraps, and other debris down the drains can cause your pipes to clog.
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.
Backed-Up Sewers: When raw sewage backs up into your home, it can be very harmful to your health. Exposure to bacteria and waste can contaminate your space quickly, requiring urgent plumbing attention.
Water Heater Failure: A broken water heater means no hot water for daily tasks like washing dishes, showering or doing laundry. If your failed water heater begins to leak, it can also lead to water damage, mold growth, increased utility bills, and additional plumbing issues.
No Water Supply: If your taps run dry, the cause could be a major pipe break, frozen lines, or valve trouble. If you’re experiencing any sudden loss of water, it’s important to get your pipes assessed quickly by emergency plumbing professionals.
Frozen Pipes: Pipes that have been exposed to freezing temperatures have a greater chance of cracking. If immediate action is not taken and your pipes break, water flow can stop, and major leaking is likely to follow.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars CityRooter Plumbing did an amazing job at our home! They handled everything from plumbing and drain issues with professionalism and care. Their team is incredibly organized, clean, and easy to communicate with. They were always available when needed and made the whole process stress-free. I truly appreciate their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service. So grateful to have found them!
We needed a drain specialist/plumber for a sudden emergency. I called City Rooter Plumbing and Drain Specialists. Firstly they answered the call immediately, it didn’t go to voice mail, which was great. Alex then listened to what I was trying to explain, asked pertinent questions and did his best to calm my worry. The team were at our home first thing in the morning and thankfully, very professionally, quickly sorted the problem. We would have no hesitation in calling Alex and his team again should we find ourselves in a similar situation.
I needed a plumber fast due to a leak in the main valve in my house. Alexei answered the phone and all my questions promptly and professionally however the really amazing thing was his service. He was able to fit me into his schedule not only the same day but within hours as the valve was leaking badly and would have caused a major flood. He performed the work with the highest quality valves and ensured all was good and I was happy before he left.
I will not hesitate to call him again as well as passing his info along to any of my friends or neighbors who need a great plumber.
We highly recommend City Rooter Plumbing and Drain! Alex was very knowledgeable, straight forward and honest in assessing our underground drainage problem and explaining the solutions. He and his team were timely, professional, thorough, and the price was fair - definitely a cut above!
Reached out for some problems with our sump system. Alexei was very responsive, easy to coordinate with. Came and diagnosed at end of week, fixed the next week. Explains what he’s doing and open to answering any of your questions. Would happily contact CityRooter again next time I need plumbing services.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your swift assistance. After placing my call, you arrived at my home within two hours and conducted a quick yet thorough assessment. Thanks to your expertise, the issue was promptly located and resolved.
I truly appreciate your professionalism and efficiency. Thank you again for your quick response and resolution.
City Rooter (Alex) did an excellent job to quickly fix the ongoing leak in my washroom. it was fixed quickly and efficiently. Alex and his team are highly professional, efficient, and left everything clean. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for any plumbing jobs or fixing any plumbing issues!
CityRooter Plumbing did a fantastic job replacing our old lead pipe with a new 1-inch copper pipe. There was a leak outside on the line, and they fixed it quickly and efficiently. Since the upgrade, we’ve noticed stronger water pressure and cleaner water, and we’re now confident it’s safer for our health. The team was professional, efficient, and left everything clean. Highly recommend!
My basement used to flood during heavy rain, and I was so tired of the stress. I called CityRooter Plumbing & Drain, and they installed a backwater valve that solved the problem completely. The team was professional, fast, and very clean. They explained everything and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend CityRooter for anyone needing plumbing or flood protection work!
Excellent service quick response to request for a sump pump + supplementary pump on battery replacement fairly priced and then installed. All very efficient clean service overall. Alexei & his brother Max very polite and trustworthy as well.
I contacted Alexei from City Rooter for a toilet and sink replacement and he came to take a look at my situation….he came a couple of days later, because it was not an emergency, and he did and amazing job! Everything went smoothly and their price was very fair. I will contact City Rooter next time i have a plumbing issue 100% Keep up the good work! 👍
Alexei did an amazing job. Very professional. Accountable. Great follow up and follow through. We didn’t chose the right plumber originally an Alexei and he team came in, fixed it, did the job correctly and brought it up to code. He helped get the permit , passed inspection, and applications for rebates. We highly recommend him.
Excellent work, great professionals! Always on time and responsible for the work they do! They have reasonable prices and they are professionals! I highly recommended
Alexie and the team were great! Friendly and responsive, honest, efficient, and clean. they asked all the right questions and were detailed oriented. The price was fair. I will definitely use them again. I am a happy customer!
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.
I highly recommend City Rooter Plumbing and Drain! They arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and fixed it efficiently. Professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. Excellent service all around!
Had a bad leak in the tub and 5 guys prior to look at it, finally was daignosed and the problem was from the shower head behind. Fixed it with teflon tape and screwed it back, leak was gone.
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!
I am so pleased with the services provided by Alexei and his team. We had a problem with the main drain line in our house, they responded quickly, investigated the issue, provided an honest opinion on possible resolutions and resolve it with most satisfactory results. Good Job!
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).
