What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Do I need an emergency plumber, or can it wait?
If any of the following applies, call immediately — waiting turns a repair into a restoration:
- Burst or frozen pipe — water is actively flowing where it shouldn’t be
- Flooded basement — standing water that isn’t draining on its own
- Complete sewer backup — sewage coming up through floor drains or toilets
- Overflowing toilet that won’t stop — especially if shutting off the valve hasn’t helped
- No hot water — water heater failure in winter is a health and safety concern
- Visible water leak behind walls or ceilings — hidden leaks cause structural damage within hours
- Gas-adjacent plumbing issues — if you smell gas alongside a plumbing problem, leave the building and call both us and your gas utility
A blocked shower drain that’s draining slowly can usually wait until morning. Water actively pooling on your floor cannot.
Our Emergency Response Process
What happens when I call Professional Plumbing after hours?
You’ll speak to a live person — not an answering service. Here’s what happens next:
- Immediate triage — we ask a few quick questions to understand what you’re dealing with and dispatch the right technician.
- Fast dispatch — a licensed plumber heads to your address right away. We serve Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Brampton, and the surrounding GTA.
- On-site assessment and upfront quote — before we touch anything, we diagnose the problem and give you a flat-rate quote. No surprise invoices.
- Repair — we carry fully stocked service vehicles, which means most burst pipes, backups, and fixture failures are resolved in a single visit.
- Damage check — once the immediate issue is fixed, we inspect for secondary damage so nothing gets missed.
Emergency Plumbing Services We Cover
- Burst pipe repair — shut off, cut out, and replace damaged pipe sections; restore water service fast
- Frozen pipe thawing and repair — common in uninsulated GTA basements and exterior walls during Ontario winters
- Basement flood response — diagnose the source (sump pump failure, sewer backup, or burst pipe), stop the water, assess the damage
- Sewer backup clearance — camera inspection to locate the blockage, professional clearing, backflow advice
- Overflowing toilet repair — fix the fill valve, flapper, or drain blockage causing the overflow
- Water heater emergency repair — no hot water, tank leaking, pressure-relief valve failure
- Main water shut-off service — if you can’t find or turn your shut-off, we locate and operate it for you
Don't Wait — A Fast Response Limits the Damage
Every minute a burst pipe runs, roughly 8 litres of water can enter your home. Sewer backups carry contamination risks that compound with time. The repair is almost always cheaper than the water damage that follows a delayed call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Response times depend on your location and the current volume of calls, but we prioritize emergencies across the GTA. In most cases, a licensed plumber will be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call.
No. We charge flat-rate, upfront pricing with no overtime fees — the price you're quoted before we start is the price you pay, regardless of when you call.
Yes. Flooded basement calls are one of the most common emergencies we respond to, particularly in older Scarborough, Etobicoke, and North York homes. We diagnose the source — sewer backup, sump pump failure, or a burst pipe — and stop the water before it does further damage.
Shut off your main water valve immediately, then call us at +1 (437) 247-7856. Don't try to patch it yourself — a burst pipe usually indicates pipe failure that needs to be properly cut out and replaced by a licensed plumber.
