He replied to my emails promptly and arranged on a price for the installation. He came the following day and every thing was done well. I will use his services again and recommend him to anyone needs a licensed plumber."

How to Detect Household Plumbing Leaks
Household plumbing leaks can damage your floors and walls while contributing to the growth of unhealthy mould and mildew.
1 Dripping Faucets
- Constant dripping from your kitchen faucet, toilet tank or shower faucets is both costly and annoying. A licensed plumber can quickly repair any faulty faucets in your home to reduce further waste and save on your monthly water bills.
2 Mould Growth
- Mould and mildew thrive on humidity. If you notice the appearance of mould on ventilation, floors, walls, or your ceiling where water damage has occurred, there may be a hidden leaking hot water pipe.
3 Musty Odour
- Even when mould and mildew aren’t visible, you can detect its presence by the musty smell. Rooms with poor ventilation and high humidity are breeding grounds for household mould. A musty odour is a sure sign of water damage.
4 Unexplained Warm Spots
- When a hidden water pipe in your walls or flooring starts to leak, the heat and moisture can produce warm spots. Many plumbers use leak detection technology to locate these hidden leaks in the structure of your home.
5 Wall Cracks or Discoloured Wall
- Dark stains, discolouration, and cracks in your walls or foundation may be a sign of a leaking pipe. As the plaster or concrete continues to absorb water, the resulting expansion produces visible cracks and stains, which can eventually lead to mould and mildew.
Things to Ask Your Local Pro Leak Repair Plumber
When hiring a Local Pro Leak Repair Plumber, it’s important to communicate your expectations, as well as to be clear on what is or isn’t included with their service.
Make sure that everyone is on the same page by asking about the following:
1 How should I prepare for my appointment?
- Find out what you need to do before your Local Pro Leak Repair Plumber arrives
- Ask your Pro whether they’ll remove wall-mounted frames and fixtures, cover plates for light switches or electrical sockets, or if you should do that yourself
2 What prep work goes into the leak repair job?
- Many Local Pros will begin your project with important prep work to ensure as thorough a job as possible
- Ask your Leak Repair Plumber what preparations may be required prior to their arrival
3 Do you provide a contract and guarantee your work?
- Ask whether you’ll need to provide upfront payment or deposit and whether they guarantee their work all
- Ask for an itemized record of the work that the Local Pro has been hired to complete and sign this before work begins
4 Will you purchase materials or help me choose the piping?
- Some Local Pros may help you choose the right piping for your project
- You can also ask your Local Pro if they will purchase the piping for you at an extra cost, or if that is included in the cost of the job
