Emergency Plumbing Services We Provide in Toronto
We respond to every type of plumbing emergency across Toronto and the GTA. These are the calls we handle day and night.
Burst Pipes
A burst pipe can flood a room within minutes. We locate the break, shut off the flow, and repair or replace the damaged section on the spot. We carry the parts needed to complete most burst pipe repairs in a single visit across Toronto and the GTA.
Frozen Pipes
Toronto winters freeze pipes in homes with inadequate insulation near exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated spaces. We locate the frozen section, thaw it safely without open flame, and inspect the full line for cracks before restoring water flow.
Sewer Backup
Sewage coming up from a basement floor drain or any fixture in your home is a main line emergency. We respond immediately, clear the main sewer line, and confirm the system is flowing before we leave.
Major Water Leaks
A hidden leak inside a wall, under a floor, or behind a fixture causes structural damage and mould if not found and fixed fast. We locate the source using professional detection equipment and repair it without unnecessary cutting or damage to your property.
Basement Flooding
Basement flooding from a sewer backup, failed sump pump, or burst pipe requires immediate response. We stop the source, assess the damage, and recommend the right next steps to protect your home.
No Hot Water
Loss of hot water is an emergency for families and commercial properties alike. We assess the water heater on site and carry parts to resolve most failures in a single visit.

What to Do Before the Plumber Arrives
Taking the right steps before we arrive can significantly reduce damage to your home.
- Shut off the main water valve immediately. In most Toronto homes it is located in the basement near the front wall where the water line enters from the street. Turning it off stops water flow to the entire house and limits further damage.
- Turn off the water heater. If you have a tank water heater, switch it off at the breaker or gas valve after shutting off the main water supply. Running a water heater without water can damage the tank.
- Do not use any drains or fixtures. If the emergency involves a sewer backup, using any drain in the house will push more sewage into the affected area.
- Document the damage. Take photos or video of the affected area before any cleanup. This is important for insurance claims.
- Clear the area. Remove furniture, valuables, and electronics from the affected space if it is safe to do so.
- Call Rooter Brothers at 647-449-5665. A real person answers every call and a licensed technician will be dispatched immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Plumber Toronto
01. Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. After-hours calls carry a service charge that we communicate clearly before dispatching a technician. You know the cost before we arrive. There are no surprise fees on the invoice.
02.What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any situation where water is actively causing damage or posing a health risk. Burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks, basement flooding, frozen pipes, and complete loss of water supply are all emergencies that require immediate response. A slow drain or a dripping faucet is not typically an emergency and can be scheduled for a regular service call.
03. Should I shut off my water before calling an emergency plumber?
Yes. If water is actively flowing from a burst pipe or major leak, shut off the main water valve immediately before calling. This limits further damage to your home while we are on the way. If you are not sure where your main shut-off valve is, call us at 647-449-5665 and we will walk you through finding it.
04. How do I find my main water shut-off valve in a Toronto home?
In most Toronto homes the main shut-off valve is located in the basement, near the front foundation wall where the water service line enters from the street. In condos it is typically inside a utility closet or behind a panel near the unit’s water meter. If you cannot locate it, call 647-449-5665 and we will help you find it over the phone.
05. Can you fix a burst pipe same day in Toronto?
Yes. Rooter Brothers carries the parts and equipment needed to repair most burst pipes in a single visit across Toronto and the GTA. We respond immediately, stop the flow, assess the damage, give you a clear price, and complete the repair on the spot whenever possible.
