When a pipe bursts at 2 AM or the sewer backs up into your basement on a holiday weekend, panic is the first response.
The sudden stress of water damage, the search for a reliable professional, and the fear of hidden, exorbitant costs can be overwhelming.
In these critical moments, you don’t need a vague promise of service; you need a guarantee of immediate, expert help from a team that understands the urgency of your situation.
A plumbing emergency doesn’t stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, and consequently, our pricing reflects that. We never charge extra for calls made at night, on weekends, or during holidays. In other words, the rate we quote is the rate you’ll pay, regardless of the time on the clock.
Once our licensed plumber has diagnosed the issue, we provide you with a detailed, written, flat-rate quote. In addition, we take the time to explain the required work and answer all your questions. Most importantly, no work ever begins without your full, informed approval.
While every situation is unique, we believe in empowering you with information. For example, an emergency call-out in the GTA can range from $100 to over $400, often including the first hour of labour. As a result, our transparent quote will clearly break down all costs associated with your specific repair, whether it’s for a burst pipe, main drain clog, or sump pump failure.
An unexpected plumbing disaster is an unplanned expense. We offer a range of flexible payment options to help ease the financial burden and ensure you can get the critical repairs you need without delay.
If your emergency involves a sump pump failure, backwater valve issue, or sewer backup, you may qualify for a government rebate that covers a significant portion of your repair costs:
Master Drain handles the repair AND helps you with the rebate application. We hold valid business licenses with both cities, and our installations pass all required building inspections. Learn more about available rebates →
