Leak repairs begin with finding the leak, which is often the harder half of the job. We use acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, moisture meters and camera inspection to trace water back to its source before opening anything up. That matters because water travels: a stain on a dining room ceiling can originate two metres away at a shower pan, and a damp basement wall may be a pinhole in a copper line rather than groundwater. Once located, the water leak repair itself is made permanent — the failed section is cut out and replaced, not taped.
We handle the full range: pinhole leaks in copper, failed push-fit and compression fittings, slab and under-floor leaks, supply lines behind walls, a kitchen sink leaking at the trap or the faucet tailpiece, toilet and tub overflow leaks, and pipe leak repair on main water service lines. Where a pipe run has begun failing in several places, we will tell you honestly when replacing the run costs less than a third repair.
Most calls start with one of these symptoms. If any of them sound familiar, it is worth booking a look before the repair grows:
Toronto homes leak for predictable local reasons. Copper installed in the 1960s and 70s is now thin enough to develop pinholes, especially where high water pressure in areas fed by strong mains accelerates wear. Freeze-thaw cycling stresses pipes in porch walls, garages and crawl spaces every winter, and soil movement around older concrete foundations opens joints on buried supply lines. Because the city charges for water and wastewater together, a hidden leak in a Toronto home costs roughly twice what the same leak would elsewhere — which is why early detection pays for itself.

We inspect the system properly — camera, pressure test or moisture readings as the job requires — so the price reflects the real problem rather than a guess.
You approve the number before any work begins. No hourly creep, no surprise invoice.
Work is carried out by master-licensed plumbers to Ontario Building Code standard, using modern equipment and quality parts.
We test the repair, leave the space clean, and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.
We arrive with detection equipment first and cutting tools second, give you a written upfront price once the source is confirmed, and repair with the smallest opening the job allows. Andrew Bugiel's master-licensed team is insured and WSIB covered with 15+ years in the GTA, and every leak repair is pressure-tested and covered by our written workmanship warranty. If the leak has wet insulation or framing we will tell you what needs drying before it is closed back up.
Plumbing problems rarely arrive alone. If this turns out to be part of a bigger picture, our team also handles foundation leak repairs, sewer leak repairs and bathtub and kitchen faucet repair across the same service area.
In most cases, yes. Acoustic detection, thermal and moisture readings and camera inspection let us pinpoint the location so the opening is small and targeted.
Yes. A slow drip inside a wall causes mould and rot long before it shows, and on Toronto's combined water and wastewater billing it also adds up quickly.
We close and tidy the work area and can recommend trusted finishing trades for paint and plaster restoration.
