Active leak or burst pipe

If water is spreading, ceilings are involved, or the shutoff is not solving it, the urgent phone-first path is the right move.

  • Best fit: emergency plumbing help
  • Fastest path: phone call
  • Have your city and whether it’s contained ready
Call for urgent help
Often same-day

Clogged drain or backup

Slow drains, shower backups, toilets that keep clogging, or a main line problem usually start here.

  • Best fit: drain cleaning
  • Use the form if it’s contained
  • Call if overflow or sewage is active
Request drain help
Repair or replace

No hot water or water heater trouble

Tank leaks, ignition issues, error codes, and units that stopped heating all fit this service path.

  • Best fit: water heater service
  • Helpful detail: model number or unit age
  • Good for both repair and replacement

Request water heater service • View water heater guide

Planning-heavy

Tankless install or tankless replacement

If you already know the job is a tankless swap or upgrade, start with the page built around venting, gas, sizing, and access questions.

  • Best fit: tankless install planning
  • Helpful detail: setup photos or current model
  • Good for like-for-like swaps and tank-to-tankless conversions

Request tankless review • View tankless install guide

Find the source

Water stain, mystery moisture, or higher bill

When the symptom is obvious but the source is not, leak detection is usually the clearest starting point.

  • Best fit: leak detection
  • Useful for walls, ceilings, and hidden lines
  • Helps reduce unnecessary openings
Request leak detection
Pressure & protection

High water pressure or PRV / backflow issue

If fixtures feel too forceful, pipes bang, a PRV seems to be failing, or a backflow device needs attention, this is the cleaner path.

  • Best fit: PRV / backflow service
  • Useful for pressure problems, PRV replacement, and residential backflow work
  • Photos of the valve or device help routing

Request PRV / backflow service • View PRV & backflow guide

Drainage systems

Recurring backup, main line issue, or sump pump trouble

When the problem feels bigger than one clogged fixture, the better next step is often a sewer camera, main line diagnostic, or sump-system review.

  • Best fit: sewer / sump service
  • Good for recurring backups or lower-level issues
  • Useful for camera scopes, locate planning, or pump replacement

Request sewer / sump service • View sewer & sump guide

Bigger-scope work

Repeated leaks or aging piping

When the issue feels bigger than one isolated repair, a repipe or larger-scope review makes more sense.

  • Best fit: pipe repair or repipe
  • Good for older homes or recurring failures
  • Useful for homeowner and strata planning

Request pipe / repipe review • View pipe repair & repipe guide

How working with Clearset usually goes

1. Reach out

Call for urgent help or send the issue, location, and urgency through the contact form.

2. Confirm the next step

We’ll help determine whether it’s an urgent call, same-day job, or scheduled visit.

3. Diagnose and quote

Once the issue is assessed, you get a clear explanation and upfront pricing before work begins.

What a well-run plumbing visit should feel like

Before booking, tell us what needs attention, where the problem is, and any access or building requirements. These details help clarify the repair scope and what to expect from the visit.

Start a quote-ready request

Before the visit

  • Fast triage on whether it is urgent, same-day, or schedulable
  • Clear list of what details help route the job properly
  • Written requests welcome when photos or model numbers matter

During the visit

  • Straight explanation of the issue and likely repair path
  • Upfront approval before work moves ahead
  • Careful work in occupied homes, condos, and strata buildings

For property managers and strata

  • Useful access notes like buzzer, parking, and unit details can be shared upfront
  • Helps reduce wasted trips, delays, and avoidable disruption
  • Better fit for buildings where communication matters as much as the repair itself

For homeowners

  • Know when to call immediately versus when an online request is enough
  • Understand the next step before committing to a repair
  • Use the estimator for a labour ballpark, then book with context

Emergency plumbing guide

When water is actively causing damage, people need more than a phone number. This quick guide helps you decide whether to call immediately, what to do first, and what details will help us respond faster.

Call right away if…

It can’t safely wait until tomorrow

  • Water is actively leaking or spreading
  • A drain, toilet, or sewer line is backing up
  • You have no hot water and the issue cannot wait for the next available slot
  • The shutoff won’t stop the issue
Do this while waiting

Protect the space first

  • Shut off the nearest fixture valve if you can
  • Use the main water shutoff for larger leaks
  • Move towels, bins, and valuables out of the wet area
  • Take a couple of photos if it’s safe to do so
What speeds dispatch

Have these details ready

  • Your city and building type
  • Whether the leak is active or contained
  • Any error code or model number on the equipment
  • Access notes like buzzer code, strata contact, or parking limits

How pricing usually works

Clearset uses flat-rate pricing after diagnosis, so this section explains what affects the number before you book.

First step: diagnose properly

On-site assessment comes first. Once the issue is confirmed, Clearset explains the repair path and provides the flat-rate price before work begins.

Estimator = labour ballpark

The homepage estimator is a starting range, not a final quote. It helps set expectations using the hourly schedule before parts, access constraints, permits, disposal, parking, and GST are known.

Urgency changes the path

Urgent priority calls can follow a different pricing path because response expectations are different. Same-day, multi-unit, and commercial jobs can also involve extra coordination time.

What can move pricing up or down

  • Whether the job is standard, same-day, or urgent
  • How accessible the shutoff, fixture, or cleanout is
  • Condo, strata, parking, or commercial coordination requirements
  • Parts, disposal, permits, and whether hidden damage is uncovered

What helps you get a faster answer

  • Send photos, model numbers, and the city up front
  • Say whether the issue is active, contained, or fully shut off
  • Add unit, buzzer, parking, or access notes if relevant
  • Use the estimator first if you want a labour-only range before contacting Clearset

Honest version: no real plumber can promise a final number on a hidden leak or blocked line before the problem is properly seen. Clearset’s advantage is making the pricing path clearer, not pretending every job can be quoted blind.

For active leaks, backups, or other emergency issues, call (778) 312‑3314 right away for the fastest triage. If the issue is contained, send details online.

How does your pricing work?

We use flat‑rate pricing after diagnosis. Once we assess the issue on site, we explain the repair path and show the upfront price before work begins.

Can you give a quote over the phone?

We can often give a labour ballpark for common jobs, especially through the homepage estimator, but hidden conditions, parts, access, permits, parking, and building coordination can change the final scope. Final pricing comes after diagnosis.
