This is one of the most frequently asked questions and the answer is it depends upon your basement configuration, pump type, and if battery protection is part of the backup system. A sump pump setup is a typical sump pump installation or replace sump pump job in the GTA that costs between $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the depth of the pit, the path of the discharge line and whether a sump pump installation is from scratch, or replacing an old pump. We know that this is not a job that can wait, so if you’ve been searching for a sump pump installation near me, because your basement is already flooding, please give us a call.
A standard water heater is cheaper to install and replenishes hot water, but requires a tank to store hot water all day. A tankless heater installation will heat water as needed, will require less space and generally will have a longer useful life, but will cost more initially, typically $1,000 to $10,000 based on the size of the unit and venting needs. Our plumbers will explain to you how gas or electric is used in your home, how it is set up, and the costs associated with long-term energy consumption, before you even sign up, to make the recommendation your own, not the sale’s.
If your sump pump is over 7-10 years old and runs continuously or makes grinding noises, it’s time to replace it before the next storm. They will inspect the existing pit, check valve and discharge line before recommending the replacement of a sump pump, as opposed to just repairing it, since you do not want to pay for a full sump pump installation if a component repair will suffice.
Sometimes you don’t need to have an emergency, maybe its an old bathroom you are replacing or an old kitchen faucet that leaks. Toilet installation, sink installation and faucet installation services are available for replacement of a single fixture or a complete bathroom and kitchen makeover, with trusted brands such as Moen, Delta and Gerber. The cost of such jobs is usually $100 to $1,000, depending on the type of fixture and whether new supply lines or venting is required.
A sewer backup valve (backwater valve) is one of the least expensive options to prevent flooding in your basement during heavy rains if it has flooded in the past through a floor drain. It’s a one-way valve to prevent the flow of municipal sewer back into your house. Some cities even provide a rebate for installing one (we can help you see if you qualify and deal with the permit paperwork).

A standard new toilet installation removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, setting the wax ring, installing and levelling the new toilet, connecting the supply line, and testing typically takes between 1 and 2 hours for an experienced plumber. More complex situations like flange repair, shutoff valve replacement, or wall-hung installations take longer. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job.
Either works. If you’ve already purchased a toilet, we’ll install it. We’ll just confirm the rough-in distance and flange compatibility before we arrive. If you’d prefer us to supply the unit, we work with trusted suppliers and can recommend models that suit your bathroom dimensions, usage needs, and budget. We’re brand-agnosticour job is to install whatever you choose, correctly.
Sometimes, yes. A toilet that clogs repeatedly despite normal use often signals a partial obstruction in the trap or drain line that a clogged toilet fix or plumber for clogged toilet visit can resolve. But in older toilets, chronic clogging can also indicate a low-flow design that simply doesn’t generate enough flush force for modern usage patterns. If you’re constantly reaching for the plunger or calling a plumber for clogged toilets more than twice a year, a toilet replacement with a modern, high-efficiency model might genuinely solve the problem.
The rough-in is the distance from the finished wall behind your toilet to the centre of the floor drain (the flange). Standard rough-in in Canadian homes is 12 inches, but 10-inch and 14-inch rough-ins exist particularly in older homes across Hamilton, Niagara, and the GTA’s heritage neighbourhoods. If you buy a toilet before measuring your rough-in, you may end up with a unit that doesn’t fit your space. Our team measures before every installation and before recommending any specific model.
A damaged, corroded, or improperly positioned flange is one of the most common complications we encounter during toilet installation jobs particularly in homes 30+ years old. A flange that sits below the finished floor level won’t allow the wax ring to seal correctly, which means toilet leak repair calls in your future. We repair or replace damaged flanges as part of our installation service, and we always inspect before setting anything. This step is what separates a proper installation from one that fails quietly over 6–12 months.
In most cases, yes. Water pooling at the base of a toilet after flushing almost always points to a failed wax ring. The fix involves removing the toilet, scraping the old wax, inspecting the flange, and replacing the wax ring on the toilet before reinstalling. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s critical because a leaking wax ring causes subfloor water damage that can cost significantly more to repair than the original plumbing call. Don’t wait on this one.
Toilet tank repair replacing the fill valve, flapper, flush valve replacement, float, or repair toilet flush valve is usually the right call when the tank components fail but the bowl and tank themselves are structurally sound. Tank components are relatively inexpensive and wear out over time regardless of toilet brand or quality. However, if the tank itself is cracked, or if tank repairs have been needed multiple times in a short period, a full toilet replacement is typically the more economical long-term decision. Our plumber toilet repair team gives you an honest read on this.
