A stain on the ceiling, a hissing wall or a water bill that doubled — licensed Guelph plumbers find the leak, fix the pipe and leave the wall open only as far as it needs to be.
Copper pinholes, split PEX, frozen and burst lines repaired with proper fittings — not a clamp that will fail next winter.
Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs and in ceilings traced with moisture meters and acoustic listening before anything is opened up.
Dripping faucets, running toilets, leaking shower valves and worn cartridges repaired or replaced.
Seized or weeping main and fixture shut-offs replaced so you can actually turn the water off in an emergency.
Leaking or lead/galvanized water service lines repaired or replaced from the street to the house, including the City of Guelph side if needed.
Thawing and repair of pipes that froze in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls, plus advice on stopping it happening again.

Call 226-756-2116Most of the water damage and mould calls we see in Guelph started as a leak somebody noticed and put off. A pinhole in a copper line behind drywall can run for months. A toilet flapper that does not seal wastes hundreds of litres a day and shows up on the next water bill. Guelph's hard water also eats away at older copper and galvanized pipe from the inside, so pinholes in 40- to 60-year-old homes are routine rather than rare.
We start by confirming where the water is actually coming from, which is often not where it shows up. Then we fix the pipe properly: cut out the failed section, replace it with new copper or PEX, test it under pressure and, where the wall had to be opened, leave a clean cut that is easy for a drywaller to patch.
Water pouring out right now? Shut off the main valve and see our emergency plumber page. If the leak is at the water heater, go to water heater repair. For costs, see our plumber cost guide.
Water travels along pipes, joists and drywall before it shows, so the stain is rarely under the leak. We use moisture meters and listening equipment to locate it, and open the smallest possible section of wall or ceiling.
A burst pipe or any leak you cannot stop with a shut-off valve is. A slow drip you can contain with a bucket can usually wait until the next business day, but it should not wait a month.
Guelph's hard, mineral-heavy water and, in some neighbourhoods, slightly aggressive water chemistry corrodes copper from the inside over decades. One pinhole usually means more are coming on the same run, and we will tell you if replacing the run makes more sense than patching.
Yes. We replace the private side of the water service from the shut-off at the property line into the house, and coordinate with the City of Guelph if the public side also needs replacing.
We leave a clean, square opening and can refer a drywaller. For larger openings we can arrange the patch and paint through our partner trades.
