YOUR ETOBICOKE PLUMBER, FROM THE LAKESHORE TO REXDALE
Etobicoke is really three different plumbing jobs. Along the lake, the older homes of Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch were built before the war, many with clay sewer laterals and some with original lead water services. In the middle, the Kingsway, Islington Village and Humber Valley Village have solid 1920s to 1950s houses on mature, tree-lined streets. In the north, Rexdale, Thistletown and the neighbourhoods around Kipling and Albion were built quickly in the 1950s and 60s, next to one of the busiest industrial corridors in the city. Add the condo towers of Humber Bay Shores and Etobicoke City Centre, and no two calls look the same.
Rooter Brothers provides licensed plumbing across Etobicoke for homeowners, condo owners, landlords and businesses. We clear drains, repair sewer lines, fix leaks, install backwater valves and sump pumps, and answer emergencies 24 hours a day.

Etobicoke Plumbers Who Know the Lakeshore and the Ravines
Etobicoke sits between the Humber River, Mimico Creek and Etobicoke Creek, and water is part of almost every plumbing story here. As Rooter Brothers, drain and sewer specialists, we start by finding out where the water is coming from: a sewer backup through the floor drain, groundwater through the foundation, or a pipe that finally gave out. Then we fix the cause.
The same licensed team handles everyday plumbing repairs, from a leaking shut-off valve in a Kingsway Tudor to a running toilet in a Humber Bay Shores condo. If you are looking for a Toronto plumber who already knows Etobicoke street by street, you are in the right place.
Common Plumbing Problems in Etobicoke Homes and Condos
These are the calls we answer most often across Etobicoke:

- Lead water service lines in pre-war lakeshore homes that need replacing before the City replaces its side
- Leaks in Humber Bay Shores and Etobicoke City Centre condos that reach the units below
- Aging supply lines and low water pressure in 1950s and 60s homes in Rexdale and Thistletown

Flooding, Lead Pipes and City of Toronto Programs in Etobicoke
South Etobicoke is one of the areas the City of Toronto has studied for basement and recurring surface flooding, including the neighbourhood around Lake Shore Boulevard West and Mimico Creek. The City is planning larger storm sewers there, but that work takes years. A backwater valve and a sump pump protect your basement now.
Because Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, the Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy applies: up to $6,650 per property for eligible flood protection work, plus up to $500 for a Home Plumbing Assessment by a licensed plumber. We do the assessment, pull the permit, install the work and give you the itemized invoice for your application.
Many of the older lakeshore homes also still have a lead water service. Through the Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program, the City replaces its side once you replace yours, and we can schedule the private side to match. If your whole street is out of water, call 311 for Toronto Water. Program details change, so we confirm current eligibility with you before you book.
Plumber Cost in Etobicoke
Plumbing costs in Etobicoke vary as much as the housing does. Clearing a main drain in a Rexdale bungalow is a routine visit. Replacing a clay lateral under a mature tree in the Kingsway, or a lead water service in a Long Branch home, is a bigger job. Condo work in Humber Bay Shores depends on what the building allows. Every price is given after a licensed plumber sees the problem, and you approve it before work starts.
| Service | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main drain clearing | $250 – $500 | Standard residential blockage |
| Frozen pipe thawing | $250 – $450 | Accessible pipe, no damage |
| Burst pipe repair | $350 – $900 | Section replaced and pressure tested |
| Toilet repair | $150 – $300 | Flapper, fill valve or clog |
| Sump pump replacement | $600 – $1,200 | Existing pit and discharge line |
| Backwater valve installation | Quoted on site | May qualify for the City subsidy |
Calls outside regular business hours carry an after-hours service charge, which we confirm on the phone before we dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions — Plumber Etobicoke
01. How much does a plumber cost in Etobicoke?
Most common repairs in Etobicoke fall between $150 and $900. Clearing a blocked main drain typically runs $250 to $500 and a burst pipe repair $350 to $900. Larger jobs, like replacing a clay lateral or a lead water service, are quoted on site. You always get a written price before we start.

Yes. Rooter Brothers answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, and dispatches a licensed plumber anywhere in Etobicoke, from Long Branch to Rexdale.
03. Why does my South Etobicoke basement flood?
The area around Lake Shore Boulevard West and Mimico Creek has a history of basement and surface flooding during extreme storms, and the City has studied it as part of its Basement Flooding Protection Program. A backwater valve stops sewer water from flowing back in, and a sump pump handles groundwater. A camera inspection shows which problem you have.
04. Do older Etobicoke homes have lead pipes?
Some pre-war homes in Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch can still have a lead water service. We check the pipe where it enters your basement and replace the private side so the City can replace its side through the Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program.
05. Do you work in Humber Bay Shores and Etobicoke condos?
Yes. We repair leaks, toilets, drains and shut-off valves in condo units across Humber Bay Shores, Etobicoke City Centre and the rest of Etobicoke, and coordinate with property management for access and water shut-offs.
