Your best guess. The first hour is usually the service call above; this covers the rest.

HomeStars lists $150 to $350 for drain clearing in North York; main sewer lines can run into the thousands. Severe blockages may need a camera inspection first.

Toronto plumber price guides put toilet installation labour at $200 to $350; HomeStars Ottawa lists repairs at $100 to $300. The toilet itself is extra.

Toronto guides quote $250 to $350 in labour for a faucet install, plus $100 to $400 for the fixture itself.

HomeStars Ottawa lists $800 to $2,500; Toronto guides quote $1,200 to $1,800 for a 40 to 50 gallon tank, and Yellow Pages puts the Canadian average near $1,466. Tankless units cost more, typically $2,500 to $4,000 installed.

HomeStars Ottawa lists $120 to $500 for leak detection and pipe repairs. Access is the price driver: an open wall is cheap, behind tile is not.

Fixtures, fittings, pipe, valves, the water heater itself. Your bill, not a default.

After-hours and weekend calls typically run 1.5 to 2 times normal rates. HomeStars Ottawa notes emergency work can virtually double the price. Leave at 1 for weekday business hours.
