Not every plumbing problem is a flood. Sometimes it is one toilet that will not stop running, one tap that drips all night, or one clog that a plunger has given up on — and you just want someone competent to come fix it without turning it into a project.
Leakless Plumbing takes small jobs. Call 437-996-1996, tell us what needs doing, and we will price it on the phone. If you have three little things, list all three — one visit covering everything is far cheaper than booking three.
These are the calls that make up most of our week. None of them is too small to book.
When the plunger and the store-bought auger have both failed, the blockage is usually further down than either can reach — or it is something that will not break up. We clear it properly without cracking the bowl.
Unclog My ToiletSwapping an old toilet for a new one, including the wax seal, flange check, and shut-off valve. Most swaps are a single short visit if the flange underneath is in good shape.
Install My ToiletA steady drip is a worn cartridge, washer, or seat — cheap parts, quick work, and a noticeable difference on a water bill over a year.
Fix My TapA flapper that will not seal or a fill valve that keeps cycling can quietly waste an enormous amount of water. It is one of the least expensive repairs with the fastest payback.
Stop My Running ToiletThe puddle under the sink is usually a loose slip nut, a corroded P-trap, or a failing braided supply line. Small parts, small job — and it stops the cabinet floor rotting out.
Fix the Leak Under My SinkSeized shut-off valves, new showerheads, hose bibs, laundry taps, and sink fixture replacements. Small work that makes the next emergency much easier to control.
Book a Fixture SwapMost expensive plumbing emergencies started as something small that seemed ignorable. These are the ones worth calling about sooner rather than later.
A one-off clog is normal. The same toilet clogging every week usually means a partial blockage further down the line, a venting problem, or roots in the main — none of which a plunger fixes.
If a drain clears then slows again within weeks, the blockage is not being removed, only pushed. See drain cleaning — clearing it properly once costs less than clearing it badly four times.
A slow leak under a sink can rot a cabinet base and the subfloor beneath it long before anyone notices. Damp particleboard is a repair; rotted subfloor is a renovation.
A silently running toilet or a hidden supply leak can add a startling amount to a bill. If nothing about your usage changed, something is leaking — see leak detection.
You find out a valve is seized at the worst possible moment — mid-emergency, with water spraying. Replacing a stuck valve on a calm Tuesday is a small job; needing it during a burst line is not.
If flushing a toilet makes the tub gurgle, that is air being pulled through a partially blocked drain or vent. It is an early warning of a main-line problem, and it will not resolve itself.
Small jobs should be simple to book and simple to price. Here is the whole process.
Dial 437-996-1996 and go through every item on your list. Three small jobs in one visit is dramatically cheaper than three separate visits.
We tell you what the work involves and what to expect to pay, including anything that could change once we see it in person.
A licensed plumber shows up with the common parts already on the van, so most small jobs finish in one trip without a run to a supplier.
If your small job turns out to be a symptom of something larger, we tell you plainly — including whether it can wait. No pressure, no invented urgency.
Some small plumbing jobs are genuinely worth attempting yourself: plunging a toilet properly, swapping a showerhead, replacing a toilet flapper, tightening a slip nut on a P-trap. If it goes wrong, the worst case is usually a wet floor and a call to a plumber anyway.
Where it turns costly is chemical drain cleaner and force. Caustic cleaners sit on a blockage they cannot dissolve, damaging older pipes and creating a hazard for whoever opens that line later. Over-tightening plastic fittings cracks them. And forcing a hardware-store auger into a toilet regularly chips or cracks the porcelain, turning a modest unclogging into a full replacement. If the plunger has not worked twice, stop and call. Related: drain cleaning for stubborn or recurring blockages, and affordable plumbing for how we price work generally.
We take small jobs everywhere we work — houses, condos, and rental units alike. Landlords and property managers: bundle your unit list into one visit and call 437-996-1996.
Wondering whether your job is too small to bother us with? It almost certainly is not. Call 437-996-1996 and ask.
Yes. A single running toilet, one dripping tap, one seized valve — those are normal calls for us. The only thing worth knowing is that there is a base charge for coming out at all, which is why bundling several small items into one visit gives you much better value. Call 437-996-1996 and list everything you need done.
It depends on where the blockage is. A clog in the toilet trap itself is quick. One further down the branch line, or a toilet that needs to be pulled off the flange to reach an object, takes longer and costs more. Tell us on the phone whether other fixtures are also draining slowly — that single detail usually tells us which of the two you are dealing with.
A straight swap where the existing flange and shut-off valve are in good condition is a short, predictable job. The cost rises if the flange is broken or sits at the wrong height, if the shut-off valve is seized and needs replacing, or if the floor underneath has been damaged by a long-term leak. Mention the age of the toilet and whether the floor around its base is soft when you call, and we will price it accordingly.
Yes, and you should. The fixed cost of a visit is the same whether the plumber does one job or five, so bundling is the single most effective way to keep small-job plumbing inexpensive. Walk the house before you call and write down every drip, wobble, and slow drain.
For a plunge, a flapper swap, or a showerhead, go ahead. Avoid chemical drain cleaners — they can damage older pipes and create a hazard for whoever opens that line next — and avoid forcing a hardware-store auger into a toilet, which is a common way to crack the porcelain and turn a small job into a replacement. If two honest attempts have not fixed it, call 437-996-1996.
Yes. Multi-unit small-repair lists are some of our most efficient visits, because everything is grouped into one trip. See our residential plumbing and commercial plumbing pages, and call with your list.
No job too small, no forms to fill in. Call now, list what needs fixing, and get it handled in one visit by a licensed GTA plumber.
