Prevent Emergencies
The easiest way to avoid a costly and inconvenient plumbing emergency is to schedule regular maintenance. You can count on Leaside Plumbing and Heating for fast and efficient service.
A visit from one of our licensed technicians can help protect the value of your home and can go a long way to saving you time and money in the future.
Avoid High Water Bills
Schedule an appointment at your convenience with Leaside Plumbing for a complete home inspection. We will quickly identify the source of the problem, and give you cost-saving options.
We can also discover problems you don’t even know to exist. Recently we helped a customer who had an undetected leak in an outside hose. One quick visit from Leaside Plumbing for plumbing repair helped save hundreds of dollars in water costs.
Our home maintenance inspection also includes thorough testing of toilets and faucets for running water.
Leaving a leaky pipe untreated can lead to more unexpected bills as it can cause water damage to paint, walls and even flooring, so you definitely want to schedule a plumbing repair before things get worse!
Signs of a Leaky Pipe
A leaky pipe may not always be obvious to a homeowner, especially when there is just a pinhole leak, so it’s important to call a plumber when you see any of these warning signs of a hidden leak:
At Leaside Plumbing, we will quickly locate the source of the leak and fix the problem – we repair pinhole leaks in copper water pipes and plastic pipes. We can also fix leaking drains and broken cast iron stacks.
What if my home has older pipes?
Older homes are more susceptible to leaks due to the use of galvanized steel water pipes, which were commonly used until copper became the new standard. These pipes, which last approximately forty years, can corrode at the joints which leads to unexpected leaks. Check your water pressure by turning on the hot water – if it’s low, then the galvanized steel may have become corroded, plugging up the pipe (the hot water pipe is usually the first to go). It’s also possible that copper pipes have been attached to galvanized pipes, and while that may appear to fix the problem, it is only a temporary solution.
Contact Leaside Plumbing for a free consultation. We will give you the best advice, and discuss the options that are available to you.
Dealing with winter weather is a fact of life here in Canada, and the cold climate brings its own set of seasonal plumbing problems. A frozen pipe in the middle of winter is more than just an inconvenience of the loss of water. Water expands in an unprotected pipe, which can cause it to rupture or burst, resulting in major flood damage to your home. You can avoid this with preventative plumbing repairs.
How to deal with frozen pipes
As with any plumbing emergency, first, turn off the water at the shut-off valve!
The next step is to call Leaside Plumbing at (416) 423-8682 as our advanced pipe thawing machine will unfreeze your pipes safely and quickly.
It’s important to have a frozen pipe thawed as soon as possible, and at Leaside Plumbing we can bring the right pipe thawing machine to your home on the same day you call us.
No job is too small for us, and your emergency is always our top priority!
Helpful Tips to Help Prevent Frozen Pipes
While we can’t control the temperature, there are a few things you can do to avoid having to experience frozen pipes in your home.
Kitec plumbing is another problem we can help with – as an alternative to copper pipes, they were marketed as corrosion-resistant pipes and widely used in houses and condominiums from 1995 to 2007. They were recalled in 2005 as it was found that corrosion was actually accelerated, and they are no longer manufactured.
Both excessive water pressure and hotter-than-average water temperature can cause Kitec pipes to leak or completely burst, which causes flooding, and we recommend a complete retrofit with copper pipes.
At Leaside Plumbing, we can identify any Kitec pipes in your home and provide you with cost-effective solutions.

Signs of toilet trouble include
If you are experiencing any of the above issues, Leaside Plumbing can help! If anything else is clogged, it may be a sign of something bigger (sewer line backup). You can count on our experienced team to identify and fix the problem.
If you own an older toilet, keep in mind they require a large amount of water to flush. Newer toilets only use 4-6 litres per flush, so it may be more efficient to replace the toilet vs pay for a costly plumbing repair.
In the long run, you could see tremendous savings on your water bill. At Leaside Plumbing, we will help you make the right decision. You will receive an honest assessment from us; we won’t recommend costly repairs when a replacement may provide more savings. Our customers come first, which is the main reason our business has been built on recommendations.

Leaks outside the house are not always obvious. Sometimes only a high water bill will alert you to the problem. You can avoid a plumbing emergency by scheduling a maintenance visit to detect any issues that may cause a problem in the future. Whether it’s a cracked pipe at the end of a long winter, a blockage in the opening, or a leaky frost-proof pipe, we can help. Let us help you prevent unnecessary plumbing repairs.
A sump pump can sit unused in your basement for months on end, but when you need it, you need it to work. Whether there is unexpected flooding from heavy rainfall or a burst pipe in the basement, the sump pump will remove the excess water.
At Leaside Plumbing, we have first-hand experience repairing and maintaining all makes and models of sump pumps. We recommend an annual inspection of sump pumps in the spring. A power outage or a pump failure can spell disaster, and you may want to have a backup plan.
Our technicians have extensive knowledge and first-hand experience with some of the latest battery backup technology available in the market.
