24/7 Emergency Plumber in Toronto & the GTA

A plumbing problem becomes an emergency when it causes active flooding, water loss, or poses health and safety risks. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewer backups, blocked drains, and leaking water heaters. These situations can quickly damage walls, flooring, and electrical systems if not handled right away. Calling a certified emergency plumbing service in Toronto ensures a licensed technician arrives promptly to stop leaks, restore function, and protect your property from further damage.

Arrival time depends on your location, the time of day, traffic and how many emergency calls are in progress. When you call (905) 625-8777, we confirm the current arrival window for your address before the visit is booked.

If water is actively leaking, locate and shut off your main water valve to prevent further flooding. Turn off the water heater and any electrical circuits near the affected area if it’s safe. Move valuables or furniture away from wet zones and use towels to control standing water. These steps make it easier for the emergency plumbing repair service team to assess and resolve the issue efficiently once they arrive. Avoid flushing toilets or running taps until the plumber has inspected the system.

Yes. Our urgent plumbing service covers homes, condos, office buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Residential calls often involve leaks, clogged drains, or water heater failures, while commercial sites may face sewer backups or high-pressure line issues. Each situation is handled by trained plumbers using professional diagnostic equipment, ensuring that the repair is both fast and durable.

The total cost depends on the type of problem, time of day, and complexity of the repair. In Toronto, the average emergency plumbing visit starts at $150–$250 for inspection and minor repairs such as small leaks or blockages. More complex issues, such as a burst pipe, major sewer backup, or sump pump replacement, can range from $400 to $1,200, depending on materials and labour. At POM Plumbing, we always provide transparent pricing before work begins, so there are no surprises.

The City of Toronto is responsible for the water pipe from the watermain to the property line; the property owner or landlord is responsible for the section from the property line into the home. If the leak is inside your property, call a licensed plumber.

Open the basement cold water tap and warm the frozen section with a hair dryer, heating pad or warm towels — never use an open flame. Thawing can take one to six hours. If you still have no water, or a pipe has split, call us for emergency repair.

Yes, if water is escaping and you can reach the valve safely. Turn it clockwise until it stops (a lever-style ball valve needs a quarter turn), then open the lowest tap in the house to relieve the remaining pressure. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or appliances.

Move belongings away, put a container under the drip and keep away from wet light fixtures and outlets. Notify the superintendent or property management right away, because the source is usually in the unit above or in a shared riser. Then call us — we coordinate access with management to find and repair the source.

The first priority is to stop the water and make the system safe. When the permanent repair can be completed on the same visit, the plumber explains the work and the price before starting. If parts or more access are needed, you will be told what is temporary and what follow-up work is required.

Water expands as it freezes. Pipes in exterior walls, garages, crawl spaces and unheated basements can freeze during a cold snap, split, and then leak when they thaw. Keep the heat on, insulate exposed pipes and open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls. If no water comes out of a tap on a very cold day, the pipe may be frozen — call before it splits.

Yes. Roots grow into small cracks and joints in older clay and cast-iron sewer lines, catch debris and eventually block the main line, so water backs up through the lowest floor drain. Drain cleaning clears the blockage, and a camera inspection shows whether the pipe needs repair.

Coverage depends on your policy. Take photos of the damage, keep the invoice for the emergency repair and contact your insurance company as soon as possible.
