Hot water is easy to take for granted until you take a cold shower. We repair, maintain and install tank and tankless water heaters in Aurora homes. If a tank bangs or leaks or is rusted, it’s probably close to the end of its useful life. Hard water wears the pipes, so we clear out the sediment and inspect the anode and valves. A tankless unit saves space. A correctly sized tankless heater can supply continuous hot water within its capacity. We design the new system to meet the needs of your home and install it to code. We install your water heater, check that it works, and clean up the work area.
Water is still piped into some of Aurora’s oldest homes through original supply lines. Houses built before the mid-century can have lead pipes or galvanized steel feeding the taps. Galvanized rusts from the inside, so pressure drops and the water can run cloudy. The greater concern is lead, which can leach out over time in the drinking water. We replace these old lines with modern, safe and durable copper or PEX lines. The upgrade brings back full pressure and removes the rusty hue. Replacing a lead pipe removes that source of lead, but testing may be needed to check for other sources. We map the run first and then open just what we need to swap the line.
Sometimes, a leak may go unnoticed for weeks until the damage is done. The first symptoms include small stains, an unpleasant smell, or higher costs on your water bill for no apparent reason. We detect the source using acoustic tools and moisture probes, opening up only the areas that need work.
Another problem of older homes in Aurora is low water pressure, which usually results from corrosion of pipes or leaking valves. The pressure in the meter and fixtures is checked in order to pinpoint the actual cause. The leak is fixed and the flow restored to its normal level. Catching either one early saves you a bigger repair and a soaked floor.
Small fixtures can cause everyday plumbing problems. A dripping tap, a running toilet, or slow draining causes wastage of water and irritates everyone. We repair those that can be saved and replace all the others. A new cartridge stops the dripping faucet, a new flapper fixes a leaking toilet, and cleaning the trap takes care of a slow-draining sink. When working on a bathroom/kitchen remodel job, we install new faucets, toilets, and sinks that go well with the aesthetics and budget. All fixtures are level, sealed, and leak-free. If a fixture fails after hours, call us for emergency plumbing help in Aurora.
YOUR LOCAL PLUMBING EXPERTS
Proudly serving Aurora with reliable plumbing solutions.
We provide residential plumbing in Aurora for older homes and newer houses. In the old part of town, century homes conceal old supply lines, quirky layouts, and fixtures that are no longer manufactured. In the newer subdivisions and out in Bayview Wellington, the pipes are modern, though the builder-grade parts wear out quickly. We’ve seen it all, from the careful repair of a heritage home to a fixture swap in a recent build. The same regular service is provided to commercial units on Yonge and Wellington. As a plumbing company in Aurora that has worked with all eras of homes here, we match the repair to the house.
Aurora receives a blend of Lake Ontario water and groundwater. Hard water can leave mineral buildup in fixtures and appliances. These dissolved calcium and magnesium deposits form scales wherever the water is stored or heated. In a water heater, the mineral crust bakes on and increases energy costs. Showerheads clog, taps get stiff and fixtures age prematurely. A whole-house water softener reduces calcium and magnesium in the water before it reaches your fixtures and appliances. An additional filtration stage purifies sediment and taste. Softened water can reduce mineral buildup in the fixtures and appliances supplied by the system.
A finished basement and a heavy storm do not get along. When a sanitary sewer loses capacity in a downpour, wastewater can push back through a floor drain into the lowest level of the house. A backwater valve blocks that reverse flow. A sump pump handles the groundwater that collects around the foundation. The two solve different problems, and many Aurora homes need both.
We size and install both to Ontario Building Code, pull the plumbing permit through Town of Aurora Building Services, and book the municipal inspection before the slab goes back down. Discharge runs onto a permeable surface well clear of the foundation wall, and we fit a battery backup so the pump keeps running when the power drops mid storm.
Check the Town of Aurora’s current programs before applying for a rebate. Ask your insurer whether a sump pump or backwater valve qualifies for a discount under your policy.
A slow sink or shower is often a local clog, and a drain that backs up in more than one fixture points to the main line. We start by asking where the water backs up and which fixtures are affected. That tells us whether to clear a single fixture drain or the main drain. For most blockages a drain snake does the job. When grease or sludge has built up along the pipe wall, high-pressure jetting may be the better choice on a suitable line. If the drain keeps blocking or the cause is unclear, we run a camera through the line to see the pipe before recommending a repair.
The oldest sewer lines in Aurora are under the historic core and their age is evident. The older clay laterals swell and crack along the joints, and the older trees in the city area send roots right through the cracks. If the drain is slow, there is a gurgle, or a repeat backup, it is likely that roots are present below the surface. Rather than “guessing,” we bring a camera down the line and locate the blockage and its depth. A drain snake removes the roots and a hydro-jet washes out the pipe clean. Then the camera verifies that the line is clear. Early detection of root intrusion can save the pipe and prevent sewage entering the basement.
We also work on commercial properties in Aurora, including units along Yonge Street and Wellington. Our commercial work includes drain cleaning and sewer camera inspections, leak repair, water heater repair and installation, fixture repair, and backflow testing with a test report for your compliance requirements. If a plumbing problem is affecting your business, call us and we will explain the options before work starts.
The cost depends on the problem, access, parts and work required. We explain the work and quote before starting. Call (905) 900-0366 to discuss your job.
Century homes near the historic core hide odd layouts, discontinued fixtures and improvised past repairs. We take on the Aurora jobs other shops walk away from and finish them properly.
Plumbing work is carried out by qualified plumbers, with apprentices supervised as required. We pull permits, meet inspection, and carry full WSIB coverage, so nothing lands on you if something goes wrong on site.
If your sump pump needs a float and not a replacement, that is what we quote. We would rather keep an Aurora household for fifteen years than sell one unnecessary install.
Your call reaches a master plumber, not a dispatcher reading a script. We can help you locate your shutoff valve over the phone and explain how to limit damage while you wait for the plumber.
We have worked Aurora streets since 2013, from the older lots in Aurora Village to the newer builds out past Bayview and the commercial units along Yonge and Wellington. The company is Canadian owned, the trucks are stocked here, and the plumber who answers knows the town.

Groundwater and rain that collect around a foundation put pressure on basement walls and floors. How much water reaches your foundation varies by property, and grading, soil, weeping tile and the age of your drainage all play a part.
A working sump pump and good drainage help keep water away from the house, and seepage tends to show up sooner where those defenses have aged. We check how water behaves at your home before recommending a fix.
Water around a foundation varies by property. We check your drainage, sump pit, discharge pipe and pump before recommending a repair or backup system. If your pump runs unusually often, have it checked.
Usually because the water is coming from outside the foundation, not from a fixture. Wet ground around the foundation builds pressure that can push water through small foundation cracks, cold joints and porous concrete. How much water reaches your foundation depends on your property, including grading, soil and drainage.
If it is groundwater rather than a pipe, the fix is usually about managing the water, through grading, sealing, weeping tile or a sump pump. If you are seeing recurring moisture, a water leak detection visit can help confirm whether it is groundwater or a hidden line, and show where it is getting in.
When a heavy snowpack melts quickly, especially along with spring rain, the ground can take on water faster than it drains. Frozen or saturated soil has nowhere to send it, so water can collect against the foundation, especially on flat lots or where the ground slopes toward the house.
The defences that matter most are grading that moves water away from the house, clear window wells, downspouts discharging well away from the foundation, and a sump pump that can keep up, ideally with a battery backup in case of a power outage.
In older areas like Aurora Village, many homes still run on original clay sewer laterals, and the established tree canopy is a common cause of recurring backups. Roots are drawn to the moisture in the line and work in through cracked joints, slowly choking the pipe until it backs up.
Snaking clears the roots for a while, but they return, so repeat backups usually point to the pipe itself. A sewer line video inspection shows whether you are dealing with roots in a sound pipe or a cracked lateral, and if it is cracked but intact, trenchless technology can often repair it without digging up a mature yard.
Newer does not always mean problem-free. The ground around a newer home keeps settling for years, which can shift or create low spots in drain lines, and the disturbed soil backfilled against the foundation drains differently from the surrounding soil, so water collects there. Flat lot grading and construction debris in the lines add to it.
Together, that can be enough to cause leaks or slow drains in a home only a few years old. A camera inspection shows whether it is a settled line, a partial blockage, or grading. If the home is still under builder warranty, check what it covers first.
A sump pump collects groundwater from the weeping tile and moves it away from the foundation before it can build pressure and seep in. Water around a foundation varies by property. We check your drainage, sump pit, discharge pipe and pump before recommending a repair or backup system.
Storms can increase the water entering your sump pit and may also cause power outages. A battery backup can help your sump pump keep working during an outage.
Aurora’s winters are cold enough that water sitting in poorly protected pipes can freeze, expand, and split the pipe. The ones most at risk run through unheated or poorly insulated spaces, garages, crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls, plus outdoor hose bibs and any line near a draughty gap.
Homes left at low heat during winter travel are especially vulnerable, since an interior wall can quietly drop below freezing. Insulating those pipes and keeping a trickle of water moving on the coldest nights helps. If a pipe does freeze or burst, shut off your main water valve and call for help before the thaw floods the space.
