Drain cleaning and sewer repair in Richmond Hill

Around Mill Pond and the older Yonge Street core, tree roots in clay sewer lines cause most of the main drain backups we clear. In Oak Ridges, Jefferson and Bayview Hill, the pipes are newer but long kitchen drain runs collect grease, and basement bathrooms added after the house was built are a common source of slow drains. A camera inspection shows whether cleaning is enough or the pipe needs repair.

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 Richmond Hill

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard, and Richmond Hill homes show it. Larger houses here often have a single tank feeding three or four bathrooms, which means it works hard and scales up quickly. If hot water runs out faster than it used to, the tank may be half full of sediment or simply too small for the household.

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 Richmond Hill household.

What a plumber in Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill, replacing Kitec piping is the larger job we quote most often. The price depends on the size of the house and how many walls and ceilings need to be opened.

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.
