The Most Common Plumbing Emergencies We See
Burst and Frozen Pipes Scarborough winters are tough on older pipes, especially in unheated crawl spaces and exterior walls. When a pipe bursts, water can spread through walls and subfloors within minutes. Our plumbers carry the materials to cut out damaged sections and restore water service the same night.
Sewage Backups A sewage backup is a health hazard and one of the most stressful plumbing events a homeowner can face. The cause is often a blockage in the main drain line — sometimes caused by tree roots, grease buildup, or a collapsed section of pipe. Bluffs Plumbing Co. carries professional-grade drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment to clear the blockage and get your drains flowing again.
Flooding and Water Damage Prevention Scarborough sits in a part of Toronto that’s seen significant basement flooding during heavy rainfall events. If your sump pump has failed during a storm, or if a supply line has let go behind a washing machine or under a sink, every minute of delay increases the damage. We prioritize active flooding calls and can help you stop the water fast.
Don’t wait — call Bluffs Plumbing Co. the moment a plumbing emergency happens. We’d rather hear from you early than arrive to a bigger problem.
