We aim to reach most Oakville addresses within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Glen Abbey, Bronte, River Oaks, Kerr Village, Old Oakville, and all other Oakville neighbourhoods. For active flooding, burst pipes, or sewage backups, call us immediately — the faster we arrive, the less damage occurs.

No. We charge a flat rate for all Oakville emergency calls regardless of the time — no overtime surcharge for evenings, weekends, or public holidays. You receive an upfront quote before any work begins and the price you’re quoted is what you pay.

A plumbing emergency is any situation with immediate risk to your property, water supply, or health. This includes burst or actively leaking pipes, sewage backup into the home, a water heater that is leaking or has failed completely, a frozen pipe that may burst, gas-related water heater issues, and sudden total loss of water pressure. A running toilet, slow drain, or dripping tap can wait for a scheduled visit — those aren’t emergencies.

Shut off the main water supply immediately — the shutoff valve is typically near the water meter in the basement. Once the water is off, turn off your water heater’s gas or electricity to protect the unit. Open taps to relieve residual pressure. Move valuables away from the water, and call us. Don’t try to patch the pipe yourself with tape or clamps — those are temporary at best and delay a proper fix.

Yes. During major storm events, groundwater levels near Bronte Creek and Sixteen Mile Creek can rise rapidly, overwhelming sump pumps or backing up through floor drains connected to the sanitary sewer. If your basement floor drain is backing up or your sump pump can’t keep up during a storm near these waterways, call us immediately. We carry equipment to clear main sewer blockages and assess sump pump failures on emergency calls.

A strong, persistent sewage smell throughout the home warrants same-day attention. It often indicates a cracked drain pipe, a dry P-trap in an unused fixture, a blocked vent stack, or a deteriorating sewer lateral — particularly common in older Bronte and Kerr Village homes with ageing clay pipes. Sewer gas contains methane and hydrogen sulphide, which are both harmful in concentration. A faint or isolated smell from one fixture is less urgent but still worth investigating.

First, check with neighbours to see if the loss is widespread — a local outage on the Halton Region supply main would affect multiple homes. If it’s isolated to your property, the likely causes are a closed shutoff valve, a burst main water line on your property, or a failed pressure reducing valve. Don’t attempt to trace the issue yourself if water is actively pooling in the yard. Call us and we’ll diagnose and repair the issue the same day.
