## About
Plumbing problems, flooding, and issues concerning drains or sewers are all hassles that nobody in Toronto likes to face – but if you live or do business in a place long enough, eventually you’ll need someone you can trust to help you deal with these kinds of issues. Fortunately, the professionals at Waterman are among the best in the industry and are available at a moment’s notice to provide emergency plumbing service in Toronto as well as regular maintenance. The reputation we have built at Waterman comes from two important things. The first is that we have the experience, technical expertise, and tools that few other companies can match. Because we specialize in a certain type of plumbing that most others can’t handle – dealing with drain back up in your home or business – we are able to diagnose and deal with these issues more quickly, efficiently, and affordably than most of our competitors. Simply put, resolving issues to do with drain back up is what we do, and we are the experts at it. At the same time, however, our business isn’t simply limited to knowing everything about drains, At Waterman, we provide a variety of plumbing services. We also place a premium on personal service and good relationships, both with other plumbers and also homeowners throughout southern Ontario. We know that our company is only as strong as our word and our reputation, so we treat every project as if it were a repair to our own homes.

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
- Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemized quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
- Gas work is licensed separately from general plumbing in every province. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance or gas line holds the gas certification your province requires, and ask for proof of that certification before they start.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
