Waiting for the plumber? Here are 5 simple things you can do to help minimize the damage and ensure fast and effective repairs. Keep this plumbing emergency checklist on-hand at all times:
In most cases, a plumbing emergency doesn’t happen out of nowhere — other than a seasonal disaster, it takes years of minor damage slowly worsening, such as waste build-up in the drains, and ageing fixtures like clay pipes. Because of these, plumbing emergencies are 100% preventable. That’s possible with regular maintenance by a certified plumber.
Whether it’s better lifestyle habits in the bathrooms and kitchens — such as paying attention to what you flush down the drains getting old fixtures like clay pipes replaced, or locating leaks right away — you can do a lot to prevent clogs, back-ups, flooding, and other worst-case scenarios. Here’s what you can do to prevent every plumbing emergency — and the damage they cause:
Learn your plumbing system: how many faucets do you have? Where are the pipes located? Do you have a sump pump to flush out water from the basement? As a homeowner, you need to know everything about your property, including the plumbing system. Being familiar with the fixtures allows you to spot the signs of damage, such as leaks, and know when to call the plumber. While waiting, being able to locate and shut off the main water valve can also prevent further damage.
Don’t attempt DIY repairs: the golden rule of plumbing or any home improvement repair is “Don’t do it if you can’t.” And even if you think you can, some plumbing repairs should only be performed by a professional equipped with the right tools. A certified plumber will be able to diagnose and repair the damage quickly, without risking long-term damage to other fixtures.
Be careful of what you flush down the drains: the drains aren’t trash cans. Even with the toilets, there are waste items that don’t belong there. When you force these items down the drains, you risk clogs or worse, back-ups and flooding. Avoid flushing fat, grease, oil, loose hair, and other debris down the sink For toilets, don’t toss in make-up removers, scrubbies, sanitary pads, and even litter.
Schedule proactive replacements: a lot of burst, cracked, or collapsed pipes we’ve seen in emergency repairs are either ageing or worse, still made of clay. It’s worth looking at gas water heaters that last for about 10 years and electric models that go up to 15. All of these fixtures age and require proactive replacements before they become too damaged and cause a plumbing emergency, such as flooding. Our plumbers can fit your home with new pipes using the no-dig, no-mess trenchless replacement method, as well as sustainable and longer-lasting fixtures.
Protect plumbing fixtures: leak detection and protection systems are designed with alarms that automatically shut off the main water valve when a leak is detected. These are worthy investments in the long-term function of your plumbing system and cost a lot less than a large emergency repair.
Avoid chemical cleaners: a lot of DIY drain unclogging solutions are chemical-based, and even old plumbing methods used them. But they’re not the best option not just because they lack the strength to dislodge and break up large waste build-ups, but also because they corrode and degrade pipe walls. You’ll also want to lay off chemical toilet fresheners as these, and similar chemicals cause clogs.
Plumbing emergencies can happen anytime, especially when the temperatures are way past sub-zero and cause pipes to freeze. Or when temperatures increase and snow starts to melt, and old sump pumps and backwater valves fail to prevent flooding, or drains finally give up after flushing harmful waste that doesn’t belong there. That’s why our plumbers and sewer technicians are available 24/7.
With mobile response teams on the road in the GTA, we can be at your door in just minutes, ready to repair broken fixtures and restore both water supply and effective drainage.

You can trust our plumbers to be thorough and effective in their work, equipped with the latest drain and sewer cameras, mechanical augers, and hydro-jetting valves to repair leaks, pipes, drains, sewers, and flood protection fixtures. Call us right away at the first sign of damage to prevent them from worsening — and costing more for affected appliances, furniture, and your home’s foundation.
