Your Local Plumber in Mississauga
Mississauga is the largest city in Peel Region and a short drive from our Etobicoke office. Its housing ranges from older homes in Port Credit, Streetsville and Cooksville to the large 1970s and 1980s subdivisions of Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Clarkson, newer communities like Churchill Meadows, and dense condo towers around Square One.
POM Plumbing serves Mississauga homeowners, landlords, condo corporations and businesses with drain, sewer, water heater and commercial plumbing, plus 24/7 emergency calls.
Common Plumbing Problems in Mississauga
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s, the bulk of Mississauga's housing, are now reaching the age when original copper lines develop pinhole leaks, poly-B supply pipes need replacing, water heaters are on their second or third replacement and sewer laterals start to fail. Many homes have added basement apartments, which increases drain loads and the importance of backwater valves. City Centre condo towers need suite repairs and building system work, while industrial and commercial areas near the airport require backflow prevention and testing.
01
Poly-B and aging copper
Supply pipes in 1970s – 90s homes leak and need replacement.
02
Basement apartment drains
Added units increase load on original drains and sewer laterals.
03
Water heater replacement
Many original rental tanks have reached end of life.
04
Commercial backflow
Businesses and industrial units need backflow devices tested regularly.
05
Condo suite leaks
City Centre towers see appliance and fixture leaks into units below.
Plumbing & Drain Services in Mississauga
Mississauga homes range from 1950s houses in Lakeview and Applewood to 1980s subdivisions and City Centre towers. These are the jobs we do most there.
Poly-B repiping
Homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s in Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Mississauga Valleys often have grey poly-B supply pipe. Its fittings fail without warning. We repipe with PEX or copper and keep wall openings small.
Learn moreKitec in condos and townhouses
City Centre and Square One area towers and many townhouse complexes built between the late 1990s and 2007 used Kitec. We replace it suite by suite and coordinate with property management.
Learn moreOlder sewer laterals in Lakeview, Applewood and Cooksville
Post-war homes in south and central Mississauga have clay or cast iron laterals with tree roots. We clear the line, camera it and offer relining or replacement.

After the July 2024 storm, many Mississauga homeowners added flood protection. We install backwater valves and sump pumps with the City permit, so you can apply for the Region of Peel rebate.

Seasonal Plumbing Checklist for Mississauga
What to check through the year, based on the homes and weather we see in Mississauga.
Spring
Snowmelt raises groundwater near the Credit River and Etobicoke Creek. Test the sump pump and battery backup.
Summer
Summer storms like July 2024 overload sewers. Check the backwater valve and keep the cleanout accessible.
Fall
Roots grow into clay laterals in south Mississauga. Book a camera check and root cutting before winter.
Winter
Shut off outside taps and protect pipes in garages and on exterior walls, especially in split-level homes.
Municipality or Homeowner: Who Fixes What in Mississauga?
Water and sewer services in Mississauga are run by the City of Mississauga and Peel Region. As in most of Ontario, the municipality is responsible for the main and the connection up to the property line. The homeowner is responsible for everything on private property.
| Problem | Who to call |
|---|---|
| No water on the street, low pressure in the whole area, or a main break | Your municipality |
| Water service or sewer connection between the property line and the main | Your municipality (public side) |
| Pipes, drains and the sewer lateral on your property | Homeowner: call a licensed plumber |
| Fixtures, water heater, softener, sump pump, backwater valve | Homeowner: call a licensed plumber |
The Region of Peel runs a Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate Program for Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon homes. It needs a City building permit and a passed inspection. The City of Mississauga also has a sump pump subsidy for homes on streets served by a foundation drain collector. We pull the permit and give you the invoice and details you need to apply. A sewer camera inspection shows where a blockage or break is, so you know whose section it is before any digging.
Plumbing by Home Age in Mississauga
Mississauga was built in waves, and each period has its own plumbing issues:
- Before 1960 (Port Credit, Lakeview, Cooksville): possible lead or galvanized water services, cast iron stacks and clay laterals.
- 1960s and 1970s (Applewood, Clarkson, Erindale, Malton): copper with pinhole leaks, clay laterals with roots, weeping tile tied to the sanitary sewer.
- Late 1970s to mid-1990s (Meadowvale, Erin Mills, Mississauga Valleys): poly-B supply pipe that should be replaced.
- 1995 to 2007 (City Centre condos, many townhouses): possible Kitec piping.
- 2000s and newer (Churchill Meadows, Lisgar): original water heaters and sump pumps reaching end of life.
Basement Flooding in Mississauga
The July 2024 storm flooded basements across Mississauga. Two things cause most basement floods: the sanitary sewer backing up through the floor drain, and groundwater coming through walls and floors when weeping tile cannot drain. A backwater valve stops the first, and a sump pump with a battery backup handles the second. We look at your home and tell you which one you need, or whether you need both.
Condos and Townhouses in Mississauga
Mississauga has a large number of condo towers around Square One and along Hurontario, and many townhouse complexes. In these buildings, some pipes belong to the owner and some to the corporation. We confirm with management before starting, coordinate shut-offs, and give you a written report of what we found and fixed. Common jobs are Kitec replacement, mixing valves, leaks into the unit below and shared sewer line backups in townhouse rows.
Lake Ontario Water and Your Fixtures
Mississauga's water is treated Lake Ontario water from the Region of Peel. It is moderately hard, so scale builds up in water heaters, tankless units, faucet cartridges and dishwashers over time. Flushing the water heater once a year and descaling a tankless unit extend their life. In larger homes, a water softener can be worth it.
Emergency Plumbing in Mississauga
The most common emergency calls we get from Mississauga are burst pipes in winter, water heaters leaking in basements, sewer backups during storms and toilets overflowing in condo suites. Our office on Six Point Rd is next to the Mississauga border, so we reach Lakeview, Applewood, Cooksville and City Centre quickly, and we cover all of Mississauga 24/7. When you call, we tell you how to stop the damage and give you a realistic arrival window.
Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspection in Mississauga
Buying an older Mississauga home? A plumbing inspection checks the water service material, the supply pipes (galvanized, poly-B or Kitec), the water heater age, the sewer lateral on camera and whether there is a backwater valve. You get a written report to use in negotiations. See plumbing inspection.
Commercial and Industrial Plumbing in Mississauga
Mississauga has large industrial and office areas around Pearson, Meadowvale, Heartland and the Airport Corporate Centre. Businesses there need backflow prevention devices installed and tested every year, floor drains and trench drains kept clear, washroom repairs and water service work done with minimal downtime. We schedule work around your operations and give you reports for compliance. See commercial plumbing.

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations
Planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation in Mississauga? We handle the plumbing from rough-in to final connection: moving drains and supply lines, installing shower valves, freestanding tubs and kitchen sinks, and upgrading shut-offs. If the home has poly-B or Kitec, the renovation is the right time to replace it. We pull the plumbing permit when needed and coordinate with your contractor.
Water Heater Choices for Mississauga Homes
Most Mississauga homes have a 40 or 50-gallon gas tank, often rented. For a typical family that is enough, but homes with a basement unit, four or more bathrooms or a large soaker tub run short. Options are a larger high-recovery tank, a power-vented tank where the chimney cannot be used, a tankless system, or separate heaters for each unit. We compare upfront and running costs and the cost of buying out a rental tank, and give you a written recommendation.
Choosing Pipe Materials When You Repipe
When we replace poly-B, Kitec or galvanized pipe in a Mississauga home, the two main options are PEX and copper. PEX is flexible, so it can be pulled through walls with fewer openings, and it resists freezing better. Copper lasts a long time and is often preferred in exposed areas. Many repipes use PEX for the runs and copper at the water heater and main shut-off. We explain the options and price both.
Plumbing Emergency in Mississauga? What to Do Before We Arrive
A few minutes of the right action can save thousands in water damage.
- 1
Shut off the water
In a house, the main valve is usually on the basement wall facing the street, next to the water meter. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
- 2
Make it safe
Keep away from water near outlets and appliances. If you can reach the electrical panel safely, switch off power to the wet area. If the water heater is leaking, turn its gas valve to pilot or switch off its breaker.
- 3
Stop the damage spreading
If a floor drain is backing up, stop using water in the house. Move valuables, rugs and boxes off the floor and open cabinet doors under leaking sinks.
- 4
Record and call
Take photos and video for your insurer, then call (905) 625-8777. Our emergency line is answered 24/7 and we tell you when to expect us.
What Affects the Price of Plumbing in Mississauga
- 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 Mississauga
- Check the licence: plumbers in Ontario must hold a 306A certificate.
- 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.

Who is responsible for a sewer backup in Mississauga?
The Region of Peel is responsible for the sewer main and the connection up to the property line. The homeowner is responsible for the lateral and plumbing on private property. A camera inspection shows where the blockage is.
Is there a backwater valve rebate in Mississauga?
Yes. The Region of Peel runs a Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate Program. You need a City of Mississauga building permit and a passed inspection, which we arrange.
Do I have poly-B or Kitec?
Poly-B is grey plastic pipe, common in homes built from the late 1970s to mid-1990s. Kitec is orange or blue with brass fittings, used from about 1995 to 2007. We can confirm it in a short visit.
How much does a plumber cost in Mississauga?
Typical prices are $180 to $350 for a drain clog, $250 to $450 for a sewer camera inspection and $1,400 to $3,000 for a tank water heater replacement. You get a written price before work starts.
Can you add plumbing for a basement apartment in Mississauga?
Yes. We plan and install drains, venting, a backwater valve and water heating for the second unit, and handle the permit and inspection.
Do you work in Square One and City Centre condos?
Yes. We work in suites and common areas and coordinate access and shut-offs with management.
Why does my basement drain gurgle during storms?
Gurgling during heavy rain usually means the sewer is surcharging. It is a warning sign for a backup. A backwater valve protects the basement.
How fast can you get to Mississauga?
Our office is in Etobicoke, close to the Mississauga border. We give you a realistic arrival window when you call.
Do you do pre-purchase plumbing inspections in Mississauga?
Yes. We check the water service, supply pipes, water heater and sewer lateral and give you a written report.
Do you service industrial buildings near Pearson?
Yes. Backflow testing, floor drains, washrooms and water service repairs, scheduled around your operations.
What should I do if my Mississauga basement floods?
Stay away from wet electrical areas, stop using water if the floor drain is backing up, take photos for insurance and call us.
Do you replace water heaters in Mississauga the same day?
Often yes. We stock common tank sizes at our nearby warehouse.
Can you fix low water pressure in my Mississauga home?
Yes. Low pressure is usually from old galvanized pipe, a failing pressure reducing valve or an undersized service. We test and fix the cause.

Yes. We do rough-ins and final connections for kitchens, bathrooms and basements, with permits when needed.
Do you serve Malton and the airport area?
Yes. We serve all of Mississauga, including Malton and the industrial areas around Pearson.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
Both are good. PEX needs fewer wall openings and handles freezing better; copper is durable and often used at the water heater. Many jobs combine the two.
