Brandon (and team) did an amazing job from start to finish replacing our condos old galvanized pipes. There were a lot of moving parts for this job (as it was for 7 units,) but they made it feel seamless. This is the second job that Brandon has done for our specific unit and he is now on speed dial for all our plumbing needs. 👍👍Posted on Google![]()

Eric and his coworker switched out the old hot and cold shut off valves (from the 1960's) for my washer, replacing them with new valves and extended pipes, that are so much easier to reach and use. They also removed a copper water line, for an automatic ice maker in a fridge that I lost when my neighbourhood flooded. Both guys were easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and worked quickly, leaving no trace of a mess. Thank you for your excellent service!Posted on Google![]()

Connor Eades was very professional and polite and competent. He repaired the broken water line by replacing it with a flexible braided stainless steel line instead of the previous plastic tubing. Very satisfied with the service.
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.
