I hired John the Plumber (Eric) to do a complete plumbing rebuild of the basement bathroom (+4 feet of water) after the Canada Day flood. He explained clearly what needed to be done. When Phase 1 began he showed up with student / apprentice /helper (Reza). They worked together like a plumbers symphony. They completed Phase 1 in a timely and professional manner. After doing so they explained clearly what had been done and iterated what would occur when they will return for Phase 2. I have complete confidence that they will complete Phase 2 and 3 in the same professional manner they did in Phase 1.Posted on Google![]()

Booked an appointment for a few things. Eric showed up on time after letting us know he was on his way. He went over the things that needed attention and took his time to explain everything very clearly! He also suggested something that may need looking into down the road. Very honest and transparent. Would highly recommend John The Plumber. Very satisfied!Posted on Google![]()

Common signs include gurgling drains, foul odors from sinks or tubs, slow drainage, or toilets that don’t flush properly. These issues often point to poor venting or blockages that need professional attention.
Plumbing vents allow air to enter the pipes, which helps water flow smoothly and prevents sewer gases from entering your home. Without proper venting, drains can become sluggish and your home may experience unpleasant odors.
In many cases, venting issues can be fixed with simple repairs like clearing blockages or sealing leaks. However, damaged or poorly designed vent systems may require upgrades or replacement to meet code and function properly.
If you’re experiencing frequent clogs, bad smells, or slow drains throughout your home — not just in one area — it’s likely a venting issue. A licensed plumber can inspect the system, identify the problem, and provide the right solution.
