Your Local Plumber in Mimico
Mimico sits along Lake Shore Boulevard West in south Etobicoke, just minutes from the POM Plumbing office on Six Point Road. The neighbourhood mixes early-1900s homes and post-war bungalows on quiet streets with newer condo towers along the lake at Humber Bay Shores.
Because we are local, we know Mimico's older housing, its lakeside conditions and its condo buildings, and we can usually schedule work at a time that suits you.
Common Plumbing Problems in Mimico
Older Mimico homes may still have lead water services, galvanized supply pipes, cast iron stacks and clay sewer laterals that roots have damaged over decades. Some low-lying streets closer to the lake have higher groundwater, so sump pumps and weeping tile matter. Lakeshore condo towers need suite repairs and building work such as stack flushing and pressure reducing valve service.
01
Lead and galvanized water lines
Common in homes built before the mid-1950s.
02
Root-damaged sewer laterals
Old clay pipes under mature trees clog and crack.
03
Lake-effect freezing
Pipes on exterior walls freeze during cold snaps off the lake.
04
Condo leaks and stacks
Lakeshore towers see suite leaks and kitchen stack backups.

Spring
High groundwater near the lake; test the sump pump and battery backup.

Toronto Flooding Subsidy & Lead Pipe Program in Mimico
Mimico homeowners can use the City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program. It reimburses 80% of eligible costs, up to $6,650 per property. The work must be done by a City-licensed plumbing contractor, and a backwater valve needs a building permit.
Homes built before the mid-1950s may still have a lead water service. Under the City's Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program, the City replaces the public section up to the property line. Replacing your private section at the same time removes the lead completely. See lead pipe replacement.
| Eligible work | Maximum subsidy |
|---|---|
| Backwater valve (per valve, up to two) | $1,600 |
| Sump pump and alarm | $2,250 |
| Sump pump battery backup | $300 |
| Home plumbing assessment | $500 |
| Total per property | $6,650 |
80% of eligible costs, up to the limits shown. We handle the permit and inspection, and give you the paperwork you need to apply.

Old Mimico and New Humber Bay Shores
Mimico has two faces. South of the rail line, many homes date from the early 1900s to the 1940s, with cast iron and clay drains, older water services and basements that were not designed to be finished. To the east, Humber Bay Shores is a dense cluster of condo towers built since the late 1990s. We work in both: lateral repair, backwater valves and repiping in the houses, and suite repairs, Kitec replacement and stack work in the towers.
Close to Our Office
Our office and warehouse at 58 Six Point Rd are only a few minutes from Mimico. For emergencies, that usually means a shorter wait, and for water heater replacements we often have the right tank in stock.
What Affects the Price of Plumbing in Mimico
- AccessFinished basements, tight crawl spaces and condo suites take longer to open and restore.
- Pipe material and depthClay, cast iron and deep laterals need different tools than PVC near the surface.
- Permits and inspectionsBackwater valves, sewer and water service work need a permit and an inspection.
- Time of dayNight, weekend and holiday emergency calls cost more than a booked visit.
- Repair or replaceA spot repair is cheaper today; replacing a failing line can be cheaper over ten years.
How to Choose a Plumber in Mimico
- Check the licence: plumbers in Ontario must hold a 306A certificate, and contractors working in Toronto need a City of Toronto licence.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance and WSIB coverage.
- Get the price in writing before work starts, not an hourly estimate with no limit.
- Make sure the plumber pulls the permit when the work needs one.
- Ask what the warranty covers and for how long.
- Be wary of a quote to replace a whole sewer line without camera footage to back it up.
