Letitia Heights is a Barrie neighbourhood with some well-known parks. Tourism Barrie says it is home to Lampman Lane and Sunnidale Park, two of the most visited parks in the city. We cannot tell you much about the houses from reading, so this page is about how a call with us goes.
How a call with us goes
You phone, day or night, and tell us what you are seeing. We ask a few simple questions, like where the water is coming from and whether it is hot or cold. Then we tell you what we can do.
When we arrive, we look for the cause before touching anything. We go over your options, talk through the cost and give you the price up front. After that, we work and clean up. No pressure and no surprises.
Faucets, toilets and showers come first
Most of what people ring about is a fixture. We repair and install faucets in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. We repair and install toilets and showers, and we also do garbage disposals. The full list is on faucet and fixture service.
A tip while you wait for us. Find the little shut-off valve under the sink or behind the toilet, and see if it turns. If it does, you can stop the water yourself. If it is stuck, do not force it. Just tell us.
Hot water, when the tank is the problem
If your shower goes cold or you see water around the tank, read water heater installation. We repair and replace water heaters and water tanks. We will tell you whether a repair makes sense or a new tank is the better buy.
Pipes, in the materials we work on
We repair and replace damaged copper, PEX, ABS and galvanized pipe. If you have noticed a stain on the ceiling or a rising water bill, our pipe repair and leak detection page explains how we track it down.
Parks close by, and a bit of history
Sunnidale Park is the largest municipal park in Barrie. It is bordered by Sunnidale Road, Cundles Rd W, Coulter St and Highway 400, with a ravine and small creek along its east side. Wikipedia says the land was a nine-hole golf course from 1911 into the 1960s, and the City bought it in the late 1960s.
We mention it because people use it to tell us where they are. It does not tell us anything about your pipes, and we will not pretend it does.
When water will not go down
For a stopped toilet, tub or bathroom sink, see blocked drain cleaning. It explains what to try first and what not to pour down the drain.

Questions we get asked
What does the first phone call actually involve?
A few plain questions. What is wrong, where is the water, can you reach the shut-off, and what is your address? We then explain what we can do and what to do in the meantime. There is no form to fill in. Once we arrive, we find the cause and give you the price before work.
Where is the shut-off valve for my toilet?
Usually on the wall or floor behind the toilet, near the base, on a small pipe feeding the tank. Turn it clockwise until it stops. If it spins freely, will not budge or drips, leave it alone and tell us. Forcing an old valve can create a bigger leak.
Can you replace a kitchen faucet without changing the sink?
Often, yes. A faucet usually fits through the holes already in the sink or counter, so the main question is whether the new one matches them. Tell us how many holes you have. We install new faucets in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, and we explain the price first.
My garbage disposal hums but will not spin. What now?
Switch it off at the wall. A humming motor that will not turn usually means something is jammed, and running it on can overheat it. Do not put your hand inside. We repair and install garbage disposals, so call us and we will go through the options.
How will I know if a pipe in my house needs repair?
Look for stains on a ceiling or wall, a musty smell, damp cabinets or a water bill that climbs without a reason. Those signs point to a leak, and we find where it is coming from. Pipes may be copper, PEX, ABS or galvanized, and each is repaired differently.
Do you tidy up after a fixture job?
Yes, a clean workspace is one of the things we care about. We keep our tools together and keep the work area tidy. Tell us if you have a particular worry, such as a carpeted bathroom or a pet, and we will plan around it.
Is it worth replacing an old shower valve while the wall is open?
Often it is, because opening the wall is the expensive part. It depends on the valve's condition and whether your new shower needs a different one. We will show you what we see and give you a price for each choice.
Open 24/7. We answer, then book your appointment.
