Midtown Plumbing handles plumbing emergencies throughout Richmond Hill — burst pipes, sewage backup, flooding, and valve failures. Fully stocked truck means most Richmond Hill emergency calls are repaired in a single visit.
Midtown Plumbing provides same-day emergency plumbing throughout Richmond Hill, available 7 days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. Every service vehicle carries common repair parts, pipe fittings, valve replacements, and clearing equipment — most Richmond Hill emergency calls are diagnosed and repaired in a single visit, with a written price before any work begins.
Richmond Hill's housing spans from the historic Yonge Street corridor in the south — where some properties have infrastructure dating to the mid-20th century — through the 1980s and 90s family subdivisions in the central area, to the newer master-planned communities of Jefferson, Rouge Woods, and Oak Ridges in the north. Each era has its own emergency failure pattern. The stocked truck means we arrive with the parts to fix most of what we find — not just assess it and return later. Call 647-778-9411 — most Richmond Hill emergency calls are on-site within 3–4 hours.
Emergency plumbing is about stopping active damage 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 limits how much damage accumulates. On arrival, we assess what failed, explain the cause, and provide a written price. With repair parts on the truck, most emergencies don't require a second visit to complete the fix.
In Richmond Hill, common emergency calls include copper supply line failures in 1980s–90s homes, valve failures in properties where shutoffs haven't been operated in years, sewage backup in the main sewer line, and frozen pipe failures in the more northerly Oak Ridges properties during hard winters. Most of these repairs are completed same-day with parts from the truck.
A pipe split open with water flowing — shut off the supply valve serving that line or the main immediately, then call. We walk you through the shutoff on the phone.
Sewage coming up through the basement floor drain — do not run any water in the house. The main sewer line is blocked. Call immediately.
Complete loss of pressure usually means a supply line has failed or burst. Do not try to restore pressure until the source is identified. Call right away.
Water actively accumulating from a pipe failure or supply line burst — shut off the main, move valuables, and call. We arrive with the parts to stop the source and repair it.
No water through a line after a cold night, especially in Oak Ridges properties with exterior or garage utility lines. Do not apply heat without calling first — a split pipe will flood when thawed.
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 usually points to a main line blockage.
Pipe fittings, valve replacements, common repair parts, and drain clearing equipment are on every truck. Most Richmond Hill emergency calls are diagnosed and fully repaired in a single visit — no waiting for a return trip.
Every emergency call is handled by a licensed and insured master plumber — not a subcontractor assigned by a call centre. License number T95-4304136, Skilled Trades Ontario.
We assess the failure, explain what needs to be repaired, and provide a written price before touching anything. No hidden charges after the job is done.

When you call, we walk you through the correct shutoff immediately. Stopping water flow before we arrive limits damage and often prevents the situation from getting significantly worse.

I had a problem with the valve just above the furnace for the waterline that feeds the humidifier. I did a Google search, saw Andrew's website, and called him. He came over within an hour or so and fixed it permanently — replaced my saddle valve with a real valve. Did an excellent job, friendly service, and explained other things in the furnace room.
Great fast service. Andrew is very knowledgeable and talked me through all my challenges. Very friendly and told me what I needed and what I did not need. Thank you!
Andrew was quick and efficient with fixing a leak in my supply line in the walls of my washroom sink. He was informative and pleasant to deal with. I would call him back for any future plumbing issues.
Richmond Hill's older residential areas along the Yonge Street corridor and the Mill Pond neighbourhood were developed through the 1960s and 70s. These properties often have galvanized supply lines that have been slowly failing for decades. The internal corrosion of galvanized pipe reduces flow year after year — and eventually the wall fails completely. Emergency calls in these older parts of Richmond Hill often involve a supply line that has been visibly corroding or leaking at fittings for some time before the main line splits. Valve condition is also a concern: shutoff valves on galvanized systems that haven't been operated in 20 years may not close fully — we handle this carefully.
The large family subdivisions developed through Richmond Hill's growth in the 1980s and 90s — Crosby, Richvale, Elgin Mills, and the streets filling in between — have copper supply lines now 30–40 years old. These are generally in better condition than galvanized but show their age in two ways: pinhole leaks that develop in copper exposed to corrosive water chemistry, and valve failures at shutoffs that have been left in the open position for decades. Emergency calls in these neighbourhoods often involve a copper line that has been weeping inside a wall before finally letting go.
Oak Ridges and the northernmost parts of Richmond Hill are geographically exposed to colder conditions, and frozen pipe emergencies are more common here than in the more southerly parts of the city — especially in properties with exterior hose bibs, garage utility lines, or poorly insulated crawlspaces. Do not apply heat to a frozen line without calling first — a pipe that has already cracked will flood when thawed. With the full repair kit on the truck, a frozen-and-split pipe is repaired same-day. Call 647-778-9411.
