The Emergency Plumber Scarborough Calls at 2 a.m. — and at 2 p.m.

A burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a tank dumping water across the basement doesn't wait for business hours. ASAP Scarborough Plumbing Services is a true 24 hour plumber Scarborough homeowners and businesses can reach any time — licensed, stocked for the job, and usually at your door within the hour. And when it isn't an emergency, the same plumber Scarborough trusts for the midnight call handles the everyday repairs too.

Emergency Plumbing We Handle 24/7

Burst & Frozen Pipes

Water through a ceiling, or no water at all on a −20°C morning. We shut it down, thaw safely with electric equipment — never an open flame — and replace the split section the same visit. Our frozen and burst pipe repair team is the most-called line in our dispatch from December to March.

Main Drain & Sewer Backups

Every drain in the house backing up at once, or sewage rising from the basement floor drain, means the main line is blocked. We clear it from the cleanout, camera the pipe to find the cause — roots in old clay, grease, a collapsed section — and get you draining again tonight. See our drain cleaning service.

No Hot Water & Leaking Tanks

A tank that's failed on a winter weekend, or a boiler that's left a house with no heat, is an emergency we treat like one. Our TSSA-licensed technicians repair gas and electric units on the spot and carry standard tanks for same-day replacement. Details on our water heater repair and installation page.

Sump Pump Failure & Basement Flooding

During a storm or spring thaw a dead sump pump floods a basement in hours. We respond 24/7 with replacement pumps, check valves, and battery backups on the truck. Book sump pump repair and installation before the next heavy rain — or call when the water's already rising.

Overflowing Toilets & Lost Water Supply

A toilet that won't stop overflowing, or a home with no water at all — we handle both as emergency calls. From toilet repair to well pump repair for properties on a private supply, one number covers it.

What To Do Before We Arrive

The first few minutes decide how much damage you're left with. Do these in order, then call (437) 475-2458.

1

Shut Off the Main Water Valve

It's usually on the front foundation wall where the supply enters, beside the water meter. Turn it clockwise until it stops. This halts a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, or a leaking tank in seconds.

2

Turn Off the Water Heater

With the water off, a tank or boiler can overheat. Gas unit: turn the gas control knob to OFF or "Vacation." Electric unit: switch off its breaker at the panel. If the tank is leaking, close the cold-water valve on top of it as well.

3

Cut Power to Wet Areas & Clear the Path

If water is near outlets, appliances, or the panel, switch off that zone's breaker before stepping in. Move valuables up, photograph the damage for insurance, and leave the area clear so we can get to the problem fast.

Not an Emergency? The Same Plumber Scarborough Relies On Every Day

Most of our calls aren't 2 a.m. floods. They're the everyday jobs that keep a home running — booked at a time that suits you, quoted upfront, and done in one visit.

Toilet & Faucet Replacement

A toilet that keeps clogging or running, or a faucet that drips all night, wastes water and money. We swap in modern, efficient fixtures, seal every connection, and test before we leave.

Shower, Bath & Sink Plumbing

Steady pressure, accurate temperature, leak-free fixtures, and same-day sink replacement with watertight connections — so your bathroom and kitchen work the way they should.

Pipe Repairs & Repiping

Original galvanized or corroded copper in older Scarborough homes causes rusty water, low pressure, and hidden leaks. We inspect, repair, and repipe before a small leak becomes the next emergency.

Preventative Drain & Pump Maintenance

Scheduled drain cleaning, sump pump testing before the spring thaw, and water heater flushes — the cheapest way to never need our emergency line.

Emergency Plumber Scarborough — Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can an emergency plumber get to my home in Scarborough?

An emergency plumber from our Rolark Drive base reaches most Scarborough homes within the hour, 24 hours a day — Agincourt, Malvern, Guildwood, the Bluffs, and everywhere between. During a major cold snap or storm when calls stack up, active flooding and burst pipes are dispatched first, so tell us on the phone if water is running and shut off the main valve while you wait.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is anything that's actively damaging your home or has left you without an essential service: a burst or frozen pipe, a sewer backup coming up a floor drain, a flooded basement from a failed sump pump, no hot water or a leaking tank, an overflowing toilet that won't stop, or no water at all. If you're unsure, call — we'll tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.

Do you charge extra for a 24 hour plumber at night or on weekends?

After-hours calls are quoted upfront by phone before anyone is dispatched, so you know the full price of a night or weekend visit before you say yes — no surprise surcharge on the invoice. Once on site, the technician confirms the repair price before starting work, and the quote is the invoice.

What should I do while I wait for the plumber to arrive?

While you wait for the plumber, shut off the main water valve — usually on the front foundation wall beside the meter — then turn off the water heater (gas knob to OFF, or its breaker for electric) so the tank doesn't overheat with the supply closed. If water is near outlets or the panel, switch off that zone's breaker before stepping in. Move valuables up, take photos for insurance, and leave the area clear so we can get straight to the problem.

Are your plumbers licensed and insured in Ontario?

Yes — every plumber Scarborough homeowners get from ASAP is licensed and insured, and all gas water heater and boiler work is done by TSSA-certified gas technicians, as Ontario law requires. That matters for safety, for your home insurance, and for any claim you file after a burst pipe or flood: we provide a written report your adjuster can use.

Do you also handle non-emergency plumbing in Scarborough?

Yes, the same team that takes the 2 a.m. call handles everyday plumbing in Scarborough: toilet repair and installation, faucet and sink replacement, water heater upgrades and rental buyouts, well pump service, drain maintenance, and repiping in older homes. Book a time that suits you, get an upfront quote, and it's done in one visit.
