We can clear slow-running drains anywhere in your house or building. Minor blockages can be cleared quickly and easily by our skilled plumbers using the right equipment.

The condensing tankless water heater supplies an endless amount of hot water for both domestic use and at the same time hot water to the RedZone air handler for comfortable home heating.
Here's how we drain the water away and keep your foundation dry and structurally sound: We excavate down to the footings of the house's foundation, exposing the walls of the foundation. We then power wash the walls and allow them to dry. Then, the prepared walls are covered with a waterproof membrane and drainage tiles (weeping tiles) are layed out along the perimeter of the footing.

I contacted Rather Be Plumbing to come and fix what the previous plumber had destroyed. They completed the job in one hour (which the other dummy took eight to mess up). We asked them to return the following week to take care of other plumbing issues. This time Brandon was quite creative in adapting parts to fix the problem. We'll also have them return to take care of perimeter drains in the near future.
I would highly recommend Rather Be Plumbing. They are professional, prompt and polite,. Two Thumbs Up for sure.

Hi Sara and everyone at Rather Be Plumbing,
I had a good experience over-all with Brandon -- he was friendly and to-the-job! He got my bathroom sink unplugged, and showed me there are roots causing some blockage (I took a photo of the part of the snake that emerged with small roots tangled around it), and though I don't want investigation at present (will have to hold off until next year, budget-wise), I'm glad, for now, the sink is draining well.
The ONLY thing that was an issue for me was that I expected the plumber to show up wearing a mask. When I asked him if he could wear a mask, he was

I phoned Rather be Plumbing early today and spoke with a very nice lady about my drain blockage situation in my tenant's suite. She said she would try to fit me in today and around 2pm Jace arrived and thoroughly checked out the bathroom drains and explained the steps needed to fix the problem. He was very pleasant to deal with and the price was much cheaper than I expected. I will definitely be calling them again with any future plumbing needs.

Jace was polite, friendly and efficient. He gave a thorough and honest assessment of what we needed and repaired our three toilets very quickly. He cleaned up after himself and the cost was below what we thought we would have to pay. We also appreciated the itemized invoice, which showed us exactly what the parts costs and his labour charges.

I called Rather be Plumbing for a hot water tank replacement. Paulie showed up promptly and was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. He went above and beyond to make a stressful experience more positive and made me laugh while doing so. He gave honest and helpful advice and I was happy with the outcome. I would definitely use Rather be Plumbing in the future.

WOW unbelievable. After installing a heat regeister in my bathroom, the plumber mentioned that we need to put a filter on our 2 1/2 year old boiler system and said it would be a quick job costing $300, maybe $350. After aboiut 3 weeks Rather Be Plumbing called me saying they had some time and could they come and install the filter. I said sure come on over. After the installation the bill was over $1000. $800 for yhe part which cost only $380. A week late my whole heating system shut down. When I call Jarrod he sent over the plumber who called the manufacture and came to a conclusion that a part
