What Midtown Plumbing Detects & Repairs
Leak Detection & Repair Services
From a dripping fixture to a burst pipe — equipped to find and fix every type of water leak in any home or property.
Hidden Pipe Leak Detection
Infrared camera technology pinpoints hidden leaks inside walls, ceilings, and under floors — no unnecessary demolition. Our non-invasive leak detection locates the exact source before any access is made, saving time and repair costs.
Pipe Leak Repair
Copper, PEX, galvanized, and ABS pipe leaks repaired to code. Whether a pinhole leak in aging copper or a failed joint in a supply line, Midtown Plumbing handles full pipe repair and replacement — not just patch tape.
Burst Pipe Repair
Ontario freeze-thaw cycles and aging pipes cause sudden bursts that flood homes fast. Midtown Plumbing responds same-day to burst pipe emergencies — stopping the leak, replacing the damaged section, and restoring water service properly.
High Water Bill Investigation
A sudden spike in your water bill almost always means a hidden leak. Midtown Plumbing traces the source — whether it's a running toilet, dripping supply line, or a concealed pipe leak — and provides a clear fix with an upfront price.
Toilet & Fixture Leak Repair
Running toilets, dripping faucets, and leaking shut-off valves waste hundreds of litres of water daily and increase water bills significantly. Midtown Plumbing repairs all fixture leaks in a single visit.
Emergency Leak Repair
A burst pipe, a suddenly wet ceiling, or water pooling where it shouldn't — same-day emergency dispatch is available Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM. Call 647-778-9411 for immediate response.
Why Midtown Plumbing
Why Homeowners Call Midtown Plumbing First
Same-Day Leak Detection & Repair
Available 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. Most calls are responded to within 2–4 hours — because every hour a hidden leak goes unaddressed means more damage.
Licensed Master Plumber
All leak detection and repair work is performed by a licensed and fully insured master plumber — not a subcontractor. Work meets Ontario Building Code on every job.
Diagnose First, Then Repair
Leak detection equipment is used to locate the exact source before any access is made. This minimizes unnecessary damage to walls, floors, and finishes — and ensures the right repair is done the first time.
Transparent Pricing — No Surprises
A clear, upfront quote is provided before any work starts. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the job. Serving homeowners honestly since 2007.
Four steps from your call to a permanently fixed leak — no guesswork, no unnecessary damage.
1
Call & Describe the Problem
Call 647-778-9411 or submit the form above. Describe what you've noticed — a wet spot, higher water bill, sound of running water, or visible drip. A plumber will be dispatched same day.
2
On-Site Leak Detection
The licensed plumber arrives with professional detection equipment and inspects the full system. Acoustic listening, pressure testing, and visual inspection are used to pinpoint the exact leak location.
3
Upfront Quote Before Any Work
Once the leak is located, you receive a clear, itemized quote before any repair begins. No pressure, no hidden fees — you approve the work before it starts.
4
Repair & Verification
The leak is repaired to Ontario Building Code standards. After repair, the system is tested to confirm the leak is fully resolved — not just patched — before the plumber leaves the site.
Transparent Pricing
Leak Detection Cost — What to Expect
No set price list — because every leak is different. What Midtown Plumbing guarantees is a clear upfront quote before work starts, with no hidden fees added after.
Factors that affect leak detection & repair cost:
Quoted before work begins — no surprises
Type of leak — A dripping faucet costs far less to repair than a burst pipe or a hidden leak inside a finished wall.
Location & access — Leaks under sinks or at exposed fittings are simpler to access than leaks behind tile, inside concrete, or under floors.
Pipe material & age — Older copper, galvanized, or cast iron pipes may require full section replacement rather than a spot repair, affecting cost.
Detection complexity — If the source of the leak is unclear, additional inspection time and equipment may be required to locate it precisely.
Call before booking if cost is a concern — Midtown Plumbing provides phone estimates for straightforward leak repairs. Same-day service, transparent quote, no hidden fees.
Answers to the most common questions about water leak detection and repair.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs of a hidden water leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp spots or staining on walls or ceilings, musty odours, and reduced water pressure. If you notice any of these, call Midtown Plumbing at 647-778-9411 for a same-day leak detection inspection.
How much does leak detection cost?
Leak detection cost depends on the type of leak, location, and access required. A visible pipe leak is straightforward; hidden leaks inside walls or burst pipes require more diagnostic work and take more time. Midtown Plumbing provides a clear upfront quote before any work begins — no hidden fees. Call 647-778-9411 for a same-day estimate.
Can you fix a leak the same day?
Yes. Midtown Plumbing offers same-day leak detection and repair, available Monday through Sunday from 7 AM to 9 PM. Most leaks — including pipe leaks, fixture leaks, and burst pipes — are repaired in a single visit. Call 647-778-9411 and a licensed plumber will be dispatched within 2–4 hours.
What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?
If a pipe bursts, shut off the main water supply immediately to stop the flow. Then call 647-778-9411 for same-day burst pipe repair. Do not patch a burst pipe with tape — a proper repair requires cutting out the damaged section and replacing it to code. A licensed plumber restores water service in a single visit.
Will you have to break walls to find the leak?
Not necessarily. Midtown Plumbing uses non-invasive leak detection methods — including acoustic listening equipment and thermal assessment — to pinpoint leaks without unnecessary damage. Once the leak location is confirmed, the access required for repair is minimized to the smallest area possible.
What causes pipes to leak in Ontario homes?
Common causes include corroded pipes (especially copper in homes built before the 1980s), pipe joints failing over time, high water pressure stressing fittings, freeze-thaw cycles causing bursts, and tree root intrusion into underground lines. A licensed plumber identifies the root cause and recommends a permanent fix — not a temporary patch.
Which areas do you serve for leak detection?
Midtown Plumbing provides leak detection and repair across Vaughan, Woodbridge, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Maple, King City, Newmarket, Markham, Toronto, North York, and Etobicoke. Same-day service is available 7 days a week, 7 AM to 9 PM. Call 647-778-9411 to book anywhere in the GTA.
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Signs of a slab leak include warm or hot spots on your floor, the sound of running water with all fixtures off, unexplained spikes in your water bill, cracks in flooring or baseboards, and damp carpet above the concrete slab. Slab leaks worsen quickly — call 647-778-9411 for same-day detection before foundation damage occurs.
How long does leak detection take?
Most leak detection inspections take 1–2 hours. If the leak is visible or near a fixture, diagnosis is fast. Hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, or in underground lines take longer due to the diagnostic process. Midtown Plumbing provides a time estimate on arrival and completes detection and most repairs in a single visit.
Can I detect a water leak myself before calling a plumber?
Yes — partially. Check your water meter with all fixtures off; if the dial moves, water is flowing somewhere it shouldn't. Damp drywall, musty odours, and warm floor spots are also reliable indicators. However, pinpointing a hidden leak's exact location requires professional acoustic and thermal equipment. Call 647-778-9411 — same-day detection available.

Andrew came by the same day to assess the leak in my basement and immediately discovered the issue was with my kitchen faucet. He also provided advice on another issue and helped with that repair. He was very professional, knowledgeable, clean and extremely reasonably priced.

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.
