Drain cleaning and sewer repair in Aurora

In Aurora's older core, mature trees and clay sewer pipe are the main cause of repeat backups, with roots working in at the joints. In the subdivisions built from the 1980s on, the usual culprits are grease in kitchen lines, hair and soap in tub drains, and wipes that should never have been flushed. A camera inspection tells us which it is, so you are not paying to clear the same drain every few months.

We start with the simplest fix and only go further if the camera shows a reason to. That can mean snaking a single fixture, hydro jetting the main line, or sewer and mainline repair when a pipe is cracked or collapsed. If the same drain keeps blocking, our guide to why your drain keeps clogging explains the usual causes.

Water heater repair and replacement in Aurora

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard, and Aurora is no exception. That mineral content settles in the bottom of a tank as scale, which makes the burner or element work harder and shortens the heater's life. Flushing the tank once a year helps. If yours is rumbling, leaking at the base or running out of hot water sooner than it used to, it is time to have it checked.

Not sure whether to repair or replace? Start with the signs your water heater is failing. If you are replacing, our comparison of tankless and tank water heaters covers which one suits a Aurora household.

What a plumber in Aurora costs

We price by the job, not by the hour. A plumber looks at the problem, tells you what is wrong and gives you a fixed price before any work starts, so the bill for your Aurora home matches the quote. If you only want a diagnosis, the visit is $70, and that amount is credited to the repair if you go ahead. There is no dispatch fee on jobs we complete on the same visit.

In Aurora, the biggest swings in price come from access. A leak behind a finished basement wall or under a slab takes longer to reach than one under a sink, and we will tell you that before we start.

Plumbing is a compulsory trade in Ontario, which means anyone doing the work must be registered with Skilled Trades Ontario. Our plumbers are licensed and insured, with WSIB coverage. More answers on pricing and scheduling are in our plumbing FAQ.
