Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a plumber cost in Canada?
Most plumbers charge $80-$150/hour for standard work. Emergency and after-hours calls typically cost more. Always get at least 2-3 quotes for larger jobs like renovations.
Do I need a licensed plumber?
Yes — in all Canadian provinces, plumbing work must be done by a licensed journeyman plumber. Unlicensed work can void your insurance and create safety hazards.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer backups, no water at all, and gas leaks are emergencies. If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 first, then your gas company.
Should I fix it myself or call a plumber?
Simple tasks like replacing a faucet washer or unclogging a drain with a plunger are DIY-friendly. Anything involving water supply lines, sewer connections, gas lines, or behind walls should go to a licensed plumber.
How do I find a good plumber?
Check for a valid licence, ask for proof of insurance, read reviews, and get written quotes. Our directory shows Google ratings and reviews to help you compare.
What is backflow prevention?
Backflow prevention devices stop contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. Many Canadian municipalities require annual testing by a certified plumber.
