Water showing up in ceilings or mechanical rooms? Our licensed team finds the source fast and repairs domestic hot/cold lines, risers and valves in Mississauga condo buildings. We coordinate safe shut-offs, perform pressure tests, and restore service the same day when possible.
What we repair
Burst or leaking copper/PEX lines in mechanical rooms and suites
Domestic cold/hot water risers, PRVs, mixing valves, isolation valves
Joint failures at tees/elbows; corrosion/erosion issues
Emergency shut-offs, pressure testing, recommissioning
Our leak investigation process
Site protection & shut-off coordination
Moisture mapping & source tracing (not just where water shows)
Open minimal access, repair/replace failed section
Pressure test & restart
Recommendations to prevent repeat issues
Pipe replacement standards
Use of Type L/M copper or approved PEX with manufacturer-rated fittings
- Lead-free solders/flux and dielectric separation where required
- Proper supports, clearances, and insulation reinstated
- Pressure test and commissioning with building staff present, when required
When to call
- Hissing, mist, or an unexpected drip in the mechanical room
- Fresh stains on ceilings/walls below kitchens/bathrooms
- Gauges drifting from the normal setpoint or PRV cycling often
- Wet/musty insulation on or near domestic water lines
- A sudden spike in the water bill or constant make-up water
Common condo causes
- Erosion-corrosion at high-velocity tees and elbows
- Residual flux / solder fatigue on older joints
- Galvanic contact at dissimilar metals (copper ↔ steel/brass)
- Pressure spikes & water hammer from fast-closing fixtures or PRV issues
- Trapped moisture against uninsulated or aging pipe insulation

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in our condominium if the corporation already has another plumber?
Yes. Many Mississauga condo corporations and unit owners hire us directly for specific leak investigations and pipe repairs. We follow building procedures, coordinate with the property manager/superintendent, and respect any access rules already in place.
Will you need to open walls or ceilings?
Sometimes. We always start with moisture tracing and minimal access. If we can repair from the mechanical room or an existing access panel, we will. When opening is required, we make the smallest, cleanest opening possible and advise on restoration options.
How fast can you attend an active leak in Mississauga?
For active leaks, we prioritize same-day attendance (including after-hours when available). We’ll first coordinate a safe shut-off, then trace the source, repair/replace the failed section, and pressure-test before restart. For planned pipe replacements, we typically schedule within 24hrs, depending on parts and shut-off windows.
Are you insured for condominium buildings?
Yes. We carry WSIB coverage and commercial general liability up to $5,000,000 suitable for high-rise condominiums. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
Do you service mechanical-room components like PRVs, mixing valves, and isolation valves?
Yes. We diagnose, service, and replace PRVs, mixing valves, isolation valves, and domestic hot/cold manifolds. After repairs, we balance and verify pressures to the building’s setpoint (e.g., 60–80 PSI) before returning the system to service.
Can unit owners hire you directly for work inside their suites?
Yes. Unit owners can engage us directly for in-suite leaks, valve replacements, and fixture feeds. We follow condo rules, protect finishes, and coordinate with management for any required shut-offs.
