Professional Emergency Plumbing Repairs in Toronto, Ontario

Emergency Plumbing Services in Toronto and the GTA

POM Plumbing provides emergency plumbing services for homes, condos and commercial properties in Toronto and the GTA. We respond to urgent problems involving leaking or damaged pipes, blocked drainage and water-system failures. The first task is to identify the cause and determine what is needed to make the affected plumbing usable again.

When you need an emergency plumber in Toronto, describe whether water is still escaping, which fixtures are affected and whether you have been able to isolate the water supply safely. Our team can discuss the urgency of the call and the available service options before a visit is arranged.

Emergency or Can It Wait?

Active flooding, sewage returning into a property or a serious loss of water service may require urgent attention. A minor drip or an isolated slow drain may be suitable for a scheduled repair. Describe the symptoms when you call so the situation can be assessed.

Situation	Emergency?
Burst pipe or water spraying from a line	Yes
Sewage coming up through a floor drain, toilet or tub	Yes
Water rising in the basement	Yes
No water in the whole house in winter	Often (possible frozen pipe)
Water heater leaking at the base or connections	Yes, if water is spreading
Toilet overflowing, other fixtures working	Usually not, if it can be shut off
A slow drain or a dripping tap	No

What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency?

Burst Pipes and Active Leaks

A damaged pipe, failed connection or leaking supply line can release water into walls, ceilings and floors. Tell us where the water is appearing and whether the flow continues when fixtures are off. Frozen or burst pipes may require urgent isolation and repair.

Sewer Backups and Overflowing Drains

Wastewater coming back through a toilet, floor drain, shower or sink needs prompt attention. Stop using affected fixtures and keep people away from contaminated water. Blocked drains may need cleaning; damaged drainage pipes may require a separate sewer repair assessment.

Water Supply and Water Heater Problems

Report a sudden loss of water, a major drop in pressure or leaking connections around a water heater. Tell us whether one fixture, your whole property or neighbouring units are affected. The appropriate response depends on the symptoms and the property.

Sump Pump Failure and Basement Flooding

Water entering a basement can be associated with failed sump-pump equipment, a drainage backup or a leaking pipe. Explain where the water is coming from and whether the level is rising. Plumbing repair, water extraction and drying may be separate tasks.

Frozen Pipes in Winter

No water from the taps on a cold day often means a frozen pipe. The City of Toronto’s guide to frozen pipes recommends opening the basement cold water tap and warming the pipe with a hair dryer, heating pad or warm towels — never a blowtorch, propane heater or any open flame — and notes that thawing can take one to six hours. If you still have no water, or the pipe has burst, call a licensed plumber. See our frozen pipe repair service.

Sewer Backup During Heavy Rain

When several drains back up at once, the problem is usually in the main sewer line rather than one fixture. Stop using water, keep away from the wastewater and call. Blocked lines may need drain cleaning or a sewer repair assessment, and a backwater valve can reduce the risk of another backup.

What to Do Before the Plumber Arrives?

Stay out of flooded areas where water may contact outlets, appliances or electrical equipment.
For an active supply leak, close a safely accessible water shutoff valve only if you can do so safely.
Stop using affected sinks, toilets and appliances during a drain or sewer backup.
In a condo or commercial building, notify property management about shared-system problems and access restrictions.
If water is near outlets, appliances or the electrical panel, contact Toronto Hydro to have the power shut off.
If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and contact your gas company.
Take photos of the damage and keep receipts for emergency repairs, then call your insurance company as soon as possible.

How Our Emergency Plumbing Service Works

Call (905) 625-8777 and explain the problem, location, property type and affected fixtures or pipes.

Licensed Emergency Plumbers for Homes, Condos and Businesses

POM Plumbing works with licensed and insured plumbing professionals. Emergency plumbing repairs can involve more than one visible symptom, so identifying the source matters as much as stopping the immediate leak or blockage. Ask the attending plumber to explain the findings, proposed repair and any follow-up work.

For houses and individual units, describe the affected fixtures and any visible water damage. Shared drainage or supply problems may require coordination with the building manager. POM Plumbing also works with condo, high-rise and commercial properties.

OUR SERVICE

24 Hour Plumber in Toronto: Nights, Weekends and Holidays

POM Plumbing offers emergency assistance around the clock, including nights, weekends and public holidays. A request for a 24 hour plumber in Toronto is handled according to the reported problem and available response. Call to confirm the current arrival window.

Looking for a same-day plumber in Toronto? Tell us whether you have an active emergency or need a repair that can be scheduled later that day. Same-day plumbing services are subject to availability, access and the work required.

For an on call plumber or weekend plumber, confirm the service conditions before the visit.

Emergency Plumbing Cost in Toronto

Emergency plumber cost depends on the fault, the work required and access to the affected plumbing. A visible leaking connection may need a different repair from a damaged pipe behind a finished wall or a sewer problem requiring further investigation.

Type of emergency	Typical cost in Toronto*
Inspection and minor repair (small leak, simple blockage)	from $150
Complex repair (burst pipe, major sewer backup, sump pump replacement)	from $400
Repairs behind finished walls, sewer line work or excavation	Quoted after diagnosis

*Ranges from our FAQ; the final price depends on the fault, materials, labour and access, and is explained before work starts.

Emergency Calls After Hours

Pipes do not wait for business hours. Call (905) 625-8777 at night, on a weekend or on a public holiday and describe the problem — we will tell you whether it needs an emergency visit now or can be booked for the next available time.

Same-Day Repairs That Cannot Wait Until Tomorrow

A toilet that will not stop running, a kitchen drain that is completely blocked or a water heater that stopped working may not be emergencies, but they can still be urgent. Ask for a same-day visit when you call.

When comparing emergency plumber prices, ask whether the amount covers the service call, diagnosis, repair labour, materials and applicable taxes. Also confirm whether evening, weekend or holiday conditions apply.

City Pipes or Your Pipes? When to Call 311 and When to Call a Plumber

Not every water emergency is on your side of the property line. Knowing who is responsible saves time when every minute counts.

Water Supply Pipes

According to the City of Toronto’s frozen pipes guide, the City is responsible for the water pipe from the watermain on the street to the property line, while property owners and landlords are responsible for the part from the property line into the home. If the problem is on private property, the City will advise you to contact a plumber.

Sewer Backups and Basement Flooding

The City’s basement flooding page recommends calling 311 to report a flooded basement so staff can check the sewer in the street. If the City sewer is blocked, the City handles it; if the cause is a blocked private drain pipe, a foundation leak or poor lot drainage, the property owner is responsible for repairs. In that case, call us for an emergency visit.

Emergency Plumbing FAQ

What situations count as a plumbing emergency?

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.
How fast can a plumber arrive after I call?

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.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?

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.
Do you handle both residential and commercial emergencies?

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.
How much does emergency plumbing service cost in Toronto?

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. We also offer preventive maintenance plans to reduce the likelihood of future emergencies and unexpected costs.
Do you provide emergency plumbing across the GTA?

Yes. POM Plumbing serves Toronto and GTA communities including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Oakville, Burlington and Milton.
Can I book a same-day plumber for a non-emergency repair?

Call to ask about availability. Same-day service may be suitable for a repair that needs attention today but is not causing active damage.
Are you available on weekends and public holidays?

POM Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency assistance, including weekends and public holidays. Call to confirm the available response for your location and the visit conditions.
Who is responsible for a burst water pipe — me or the City?

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.
What should I do if my pipes freeze?

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.
