Quick answer

Midtown Plumbing provides same-day emergency plumbing throughout Aurora, available 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. The rate never changes based on the time of day or day of the week — no overtime charge, no evening premium. Licensed master plumber, written price before any work begins.

Aurora's housing spans from the 1800s heritage properties along Wellington Street and the historic Old Aurora core to the large 1990s and 2000s subdivisions in Aurora Heights, Bayview Wellington, and the northeast quadrant near Leslie Street. Each era brings different plumbing infrastructure and different emergency failure patterns. What doesn't change is the rate — the same flat price applies to a 7 AM Monday morning call and a 9 PM Saturday evening call. Call 647-778-9411 — most Aurora emergency calls are on-site within 3–4 hours.

What Emergency Plumbing Actually Involves

Emergency plumbing means arriving before the damage compounds, stopping the source, and making a permanent repair in the same visit. When you call, we walk you through the shutoff on the phone — stopping water before we arrive is critical. On arrival, we assess what failed, explain the cause, and provide a written price. No overtime is charged for evening or weekend calls — the rate is flat regardless of when the emergency happens.

In Aurora, common emergency calls include supply line failures in the mid-century housing stock along Yonge Street and Leslie, copper pinhole leaks in the 1980s–90s subdivisions, and sewage backup in main sewer lines from root intrusion under Aurora's mature street trees. Old Aurora's heritage properties — some with infrastructure dating to the 1800s — require careful assessment before any repair, and phone guidance before you attempt the shutoff is especially important on these older properties.

Warning Signs

Emergency Situations We Handle in Aurora

Burst or split pipe

A pipe split open with water actively flowing — shut off the supply valve or main immediately, then call. We walk you through the shutoff on the phone. Flat rate regardless of when you call.

Sewage backup overflowing

Sewage coming up through floor drains or backing up into lower fixtures — do not run any water in the house. The main sewer line is blocked. Call immediately.

Sudden loss of water pressure

Complete loss of pressure through the house usually means a supply line failure. Call before attempting to restore pressure — we walk you through the assessment.

Basement flooding

Water actively accumulating from a pipe failure or supply line burst — shut off the main, move valuables, and call. Same flat rate applies at any time of day.

Frozen pipe

No flow through a line after a cold night. Do not apply heat without calling first. Aurora's colder winters and older properties with unheated spaces make frozen pipe calls common from November through March.

Toilet overflow that won't stop

Shut off the toilet supply valve at floor level immediately. If flow continues, shut off the main. A toilet that won't respond to the shutoff valve typically indicates a main line blockage.

Lori Billing
★★★★★

High quality service, timely response, fair pricing. We had an emergency — a flood in our kitchen — and Andrew was able to assess the problems involved and quickly recommend solutions. He explained each option thoroughly and the pricing was fair. He was able to fix everything within a few hours of arriving and the result was excellent. Very professional and ensured everything was clean and tidy before leaving.

Andrew came to our house to help repair an attic vent pipe which had accumulated water, frozen, and leaked. He also showed a lot of concern in trying to help us track down whether there was also an issue with our roof. A very dedicated individual, I highly recommend him.

Aurora Emergency Calls — What We See Every Week

Old Aurora — the heritage residential streets along Wellington Street, Yonge Street south of the GO station, and the historic core built in the 1800s and early 1900s — has plumbing infrastructure that in some cases predates modern materials entirely. Properties in Old Aurora may have partial cast iron supply stacks, galvanized main supply lines, and shutoff valves that have been in a fixed position for decades. Emergency calls on these heritage properties require care: a shutoff valve that hasn't been operated in 30 years may crack or seize rather than close. We walk you through assessing valve condition on the phone before you attempt anything.

Aurora's mid-century residential areas — the bungalow streets along Yonge, Leslie, and the Bayview corridor, built through the 1950s and 60s — have galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains now 60–70 years old. Emergency calls in these areas often involve supply lines that have been slowly corroding for years before finally failing. Main sewer line backup from root intrusion is also common under Aurora's mature street canopy. Aurora's winters are colder than the GTA average and the heating season is longer — frozen pipe emergencies in unheated spaces, garages, and exterior utility runs are more frequent here than in more southerly areas.

Aurora's larger subdivisions — Aurora Heights, Bayview Wellington, the communities off Leslie Street and St. John's Sideroad — were built through the 1990s and 2000s with copper supply and ABS drain systems. These are in generally good condition but copper supply in these properties is approaching 25–35 years old, and pinhole leaks are beginning to appear in homes with aggressive water chemistry. Emergency calls here tend to be acute failures rather than slow developing ones — supply valve failures, appliance line bursts, and in isolated cases, frozen pipe in exposed sections during hard winters. Flat rate applies to all Aurora properties any day of the week. Call 647-778-9411.

Are frozen pipe emergencies common in Aurora?
