The shop and how it works
About Aurora Plumbing Company
A plumbing shop in Aurora that spends its days on its knees under sinks, in crawlspaces and next to sump pits. Here is how a job runs, from the first call to the last tightened slip nut.

What the work actually looks like
Most days are drains, toilets, water heaters and leaks. That means pulling P-traps and catching what falls out, feeding a cable through a floor drain cleanout, lifting toilets off rotted flanges, draining sediment out of forty-gallon tanks and cutting open drywall to find the pinhole that has been wetting a ceiling for weeks. The site explains that work plainly so you know what to expect before anyone shows up.
How we run a job
- Ask first. Which fixture, what it sounds like, when it started and roughly when the house was built.
- Find the cause. Flow tests on drains, meter watch for leaks, element and thermocouple readings on tanks, a camera on a main line.
- Fix only what failed. A worn cartridge gets a cartridge, not a new faucet. A cracked fitting gets a fitting, not a repipe.
- Hand you the old part. The flapper, the wax ring, the burnt element, the root ball off the cutter.
- Clean up. Drop cloths under traps, a wet-vac on the floor, cut drywall left square for the patcher.
What you will not get from us
No pressure at the door and no quote before anyone has seen the pipe. Prices are not posted here because a kitchen clog in a 2005 townhouse and one in a 1920s house off Wellington are not the same job.
Gas lines, permits and backflow testing each need specific Ontario licences. Ask anyone working on your house to show the one that covers the job.
Aurora customers often ask
Do you do commercial work?
We focus on houses, townhouses and small residential buildings. Describe the property on the phone if you are not sure.
Why phone only?
Because a plumber hearing you describe the gurgle or the drip learns more in two minutes than any form could tell.
