Where the River Meets Your Foundation, BOS Plumbing Delivers 24/7 Emergency Response, Flood Protection & Commercial Plumbing Solutions for Niagara Falls Homes, Hotels & Businesses.
Niagara Falls is not a typical city in Ontario. The river closeness is what keeps the water table constantly high in the Niagara River. The tourism economy is such that hotels, restaurants and business premises along the Clifton Hill, Victoria Avenue, and the Fallsview corridor cannot spare even an hour of plumbing time. And the eclectic architecture of the city heritage houses in Stamford and Drummondville adjacent to the contemporary hotel towers brings about a plumbing landscape, requiring the real local touch.
The stakes are above average when the plumbing emergencies hit in this area. The fact that a hotel in the Fallsview had a sewage backup in the basement at full season does not amount to a simple repair call, but it is a revenue and reputation crisis. A burst pipe in one of the century buildings on Ferry Street during a cold wave in January can invalidate a building that has been in existence 80 years. Being the first emergency plumber called by the Niagara Falls residents and businesses, we are well aware of these stakes and we react to the same by providing a same day plumber guarantee and actual 24 hour plumber service to all neighbourhoods and business areas of the city.
Three conditions make Niagara Falls one of Ontario’s most plumbing-demanding communities:
High commercial demand: Tourist-facing businesses operate 365 days a year and require commercial plumbing partners who respond outside business hours without exception.
It is more expensive to conduct reactive repairs in Niagara Falls than anywhere in the Niagara Region since the factors that lead to failures here react faster and more intensely than in drier and less water-table locations.
What actually fails in this city is the subject of our maintenance programs:
Preventing a slow drain clog or a failing sump pump float switch during a maintenance visit would cost nothing compared to the cost of the emergency call when the same problem stops in the middle of the night in February.
The repair of a fallen thing in Niagara Falls property must be able to accommodate the specifics of the situation that are not present in the neighbourhoods of Ontario inland. High ground water implies that a repaired lateral should be well bedded to overcome hydrostatic pressure.
Dampness implies that a plumbing leak repair behind a wall must be completely dry and inspected, rather than an interchangeable fitting only.
Our plumbing repair scope covers:
Given Niagara’s water table and storm sewer loading, installation priorities here are different from most Ontario cities. We lead with flood protection infrastructure:
The Niagara River does not merely form one of the largest natural marvels of the world, it also maintains the water table of the whole city at a high level all-year-round.
The groundwater pressure in Districts such as Chippawa, Willoughby and Crowland does not decrease due to the changes of seasons as in the inland communities.
An optional sump pump here is no such thing, it is the main flood defence.
The combined sewer system of Niagara falls is composed of stormwater and sanitary wastes and in case of major rainfalls, the system overburdens.
When it happens, sewage backup in basement incidents occur extremely quickly, and present significant health hazards in the need for professional cleaning up sewage response.
A backwater valve also known as a back flow valve automatically closes as soon as reverse flow occurs, when contaminated water is physically prevented from entering your home.
There are two drain failure profiles of Niagara Falls. Older neighbourhoods Stamford, Drummondville, and Queenston Older neighbourhoods have decades of root invasion and scale in clay and cast-iron laterals. More recent commercial trends along the Fallsview corridor, and Lundy, also create an overloading of grease and undermine drain systems that are not serviced on a regular schedule.
Plumbing emergency in Niagara falls have commercial implications that are not present in communities that have residential-only persons.
Someone needs a 24 hour plumber to actually come to the house at 3 a.m. not a service that answers the phone and makes a reservation is needed when a sewage backup in a restaurant at Clifton Hill happens during the July long weekend or when a burst pipe is flooding the hotel hallway at 3 a.m.
The causes of basement drain backup in Niagara Falls are overlapping and include high ground water levels, old combined sewers, as well as clay soil which is very quick to saturate during down pour.
Combination of the three in case of a major storm incident will result in severe threat of flooding of properties that are not fitted with backwater valves and sump pumps.
The humidity climate in Niagara falls causes the hidden leakage to develop faster than in other drier cities of Ontario.
Leakage of a supply line that is in the background of a wall in a humid area can create mold in just a few weeks instead of months hence the importance of early intervention.
There is no other Ontario city with the concentration of the high-occupancy commercial properties operating 365 days a year like in Niagara Falls.
A commercial plumbing company that is dealing with this market must be able to work on tourism time and not on 9-to-5 business hours.
The winters at Niagara Falls have a false danger; because tourism perceives the city as a moderate climate, the view that the freezing pipes are normal in winter here is a misconception because in many of the older buildings with uninsulated crawlspaces and exterior wall supply lines in the Ferry Street, Morrison Street, and the Stamford neighbourhood places are frequent.
