Plumber in Toronto

From Victorian semis in Cabbagetown to post-war bungalows in Scarborough and condo towers downtown, Toronto has almost every kind of building, and each comes with its own plumbing challenges. Northlife Plumbing is a family-owned company based in North York, and we serve residential and commercial customers across the city, including East York, Scarborough and Etobicoke.

Whether you need a basement drain cleared before guests arrive or a restaurant needs a leak stopped in the middle of service, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We start with a free quote, and you approve the upfront price before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, our work comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we leave the space clean when we are done.

Plumbing in Victorian, Pre-War and Post-War Homes

Neighbourhoods such as Cabbagetown, the Annex and Riverdale are known for houses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many homes of that age still have cast iron drain stacks or clay sewer pipes that can crack, corrode or let tree roots in. According to the City, homes built before the mid-1950s may have lead water service pipes, and galvanized steel lines from the same period often corrode and reduce water pressure.

Many of the bungalows in Scarborough and Etobicoke were built in the 1950s and 1960s, so original pipes, drains and fixtures there often need attention now. Downtown condo towers and restaurants have different needs: in-suite leaks that can reach the units below, busy kitchen drains and fixtures that cannot be out of service for long.

Basement Flooding in Older Parts of the City

Older parts of the city were originally built with combined sewers that carry both sewage and stormwater, and severe storms can overload them and push water back into basements. The City of Toronto runs a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program that helps eligible homeowners with the cost of certain flood protection measures, such as sump pumps and backwater valves. Program rules, eligible devices and contractor requirements change over time, so check the City's current program details before you book the work. We can install or replace sump pumps and talk you through your options.
