Why plumbing emergencies hit Toronto homes hard
Between older housing stock and a climate that swings from deep freeze to sudden thaw, Toronto sees a fairly predictable pattern of plumbing emergencies each year. A pipe that survives December's first cold snap can still let go during a January thaw, and basements in low-lying pockets of the city are especially prone to backup during a heavy spring rain. Knowing the pattern helps us respond faster once you reach out.
Freeze-thaw pipe bursts
Exposed or poorly insulated pipes in older homes are the most common source of winter emergency calls we get.
Basement backups after heavy rain
Older combined sewer areas in parts of the city can back up during intense storms, which are becoming more frequent.
Water heater failures
A tank that finally gives out tends to do so without warning, often flooding a utility room or basement floor.
Supply line failures in vacant homes
Homes left unheated during a cold stretch, even briefly, are at real risk of a hidden pipe failure.
Water where it shouldn't be, and every minute counting
Whether it's a burst supply line spraying behind a wall or a sewer backup rising in the basement, plumbing emergencies get worse fast and can mean serious damage to flooring, drywall and belongings the longer they run unaddressed.
