 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Jeff from The Great Plumbing Company. He came to fix some ongoing issues with the toilet as well as repair and replace some shower hardware. He was punctual, gave us advance notice of his arrival time, and took the time to explain everything clearly before and during the work. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally, and the job was done well. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were totally impressed as well as pleased with Jeff’s work and his business manners in solving the water shut off valve in our laundry room.  He explained the situation we were faced with and the possible scenarios of what was causing the problem and what types of solutions we were looking at depending on the availability of the replacement valve.  As the valve was almost a museum piece, he searched all possible sources to locate a place that would carry it.  He tracked down to two places.  Fortunately he was able to get the last one at a nearer place.  The work was done once the replacement piece was obtained. We were pleased with the exact same replacement piece.  Jeff’s dedicated work to do the right way impressed us.  We appreciated his knowledge and his willingness to explain things to us and his overall pleasant personality.  We were happy that we had switched from another company to The Great Plumbing Company .  The first person I had talked with about our situation was also pleasant and very helpful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Great Plumbing Company came highly recommended by friends: "We’ve been visited by him 3 times now and have been happy with every job." Two reviews in one! I was even there for one of those visits, the scary under-the-house drain scare!

Communication was excellent. The office staff were efficient and pleasant, and I appreciated both the text confirming the time and the phone call confirming Jeff's ETA.

Service was prompt. They even moved the appointment up when they realized they could do it sooner.

Jeff's diagnoses were transparent and the prices were reasonable. He took the time to draft estimates for a range of repair options (fancy faucet, full tank rebuild, etc), and he was also upfront about one of the things I'd asked about being a waste of time (moral: don't ignore your hot water heater).

Jeff was also very affable (and he remembered my friends!).

It's nice to have an unexpected plumbing job become a pleasant experience! It's a Great Plumbing Company!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted The Great Plumbing Co via HomeStars and received a call back within minutes. Jeff arrived within two hours (same day), identified the source of the leak and had it repaired within an hour. I also had two sluggish sinks so had them snaked out. Great service. Highly recommend. Thanks!

When temperatures drop, frozen water pipes can sneak up on you fast. One day the faucet runs a little slow… the next, nothing comes out at all. That’s when you need expert pipe thawing services you can trust.

Our licensed plumbers show up ready to work with fully stocked trucks, fair flat-rate pricing, and the experience to thaw pipes properly without damaging your plumbing system.

Need emergency plumbing services? Call us at 416-446-0909, any time day or night. We’ll walk you through what comes next, step by step.

How to Prevent Water Pipes From Freezing

Preventing frozen pipes is crucial to maintaining a functional and efficient plumbing system, especially in Southern Ontario, where winter temperatures can drop significantly.

Here are some key steps we recommend for preventing frozen pipes:

Insulate Pipes: Especially in areas like basements, or an unheated crawl space or garage, insulating exposed pipes helps prevent freezing.
Seal Cracks: Ensure no cold air can reach your pipes through cracks or openings in exterior walls.
Drip Faucets: Let faucets drip slightly in extreme cold to prevent freezing.
Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular plumbing checkups to catch vulnerabilities early

What To Do if Your Pipes Are Frozen

If your pipes are frozen, don’t panic. Follow these steps:

Trying to thaw a frozen pipe on your own can be risky. Heating the wrong spot or using too much heat too fast can cause pipes to burst. Our professional team knows how to locate the frozen area safely, thaw it carefully, and make sure no hidden damage is left behind.

And if you’re dealing with older piping that’s vulnerable to repeated freezing, we can talk about full repiping options to protect your home for good.

Have a Burst Pipe? Call Us for Prompt Frozen Pipe Repair

If a frozen pipe bursts, every minute counts. The first thing you should do is shut off your main water valve to stop the flow. If it’s safe, move any valuables out of the affected area to prevent further damage. Then, call The Great Plumbing Co. right away for emergency response. We’ll get a professional plumber to you fast to minimize the impact and start repairs immediately.

No matter the type of pipe, our experienced plumbers at The Great Plumbing Co can handle your frozen pipe issues efficiently. And if the water damage affects other parts of your home, like your kitchen, we also offer expert kitchen plumbing repair to help get everything back in working order.
