Thank you Trenton from Ambrose Plumbing. I live in an 100+yr old house. He has kept us going with fixing plumbing problems around here. He is very knowledgeable and knows his job very well. Thank you Trenton

I had Nick from Ambrose in to repair a main stack that was leaking, not only did he fix it, but he also fixed the pipes coming into the main. It looks awesome! Thanks Nick and Ambrose Plumbing!

Randy Haskell

We recently had a check valve installed, along with, outside septic connection. The whole crew was friendly, professional and very respectful of our house and property. We would definitely recommend Ambrose Plumbing & Heating!

Katherine Krige

I have used Ambrose Plumbing in the past for clogged sinks, so they were my first choice when it came to tackling a bathroom renovation. My old tub was past its prime, so I made the decision to replace it with a walk-in shower. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. From initial conversations to get an estimate for the work, straight through to picking finishes and the actual work performed, I can't say enough how happy I am. I was kept in the loop regarding how long the process would take from parts coming in, to how many days the work would take. All of the people involved were professional, communicated what was going on, and advised me of what to expect throughout the work at hand. Thank you to Brent, Cam, and the sub-contractors who created a beautiful space that I know I will enjoy for years to come. I love it!

Ambrose is fantastic. Our hot water heater went out and they were very responsive! 24 hours after my call for help we had a brand new heater installed. Reasonably priced, great friendly and personable crew. Very professional and answered all of my questions while they were here. I would use their services again.

Before you hire a plumber in Ontario

Yes. Plumber (306A) is a compulsory trade in Ontario - working without certification is illegal, not just inadvisable.

Certificate of Qualification, 306A Plumber

The individual doing the work must hold this, or be a registered apprentice working under someone who does. Ask for the certificate number and the name it is issued to. It belongs to a person, not a company.

Verify with: Skilled Trades Ontario maintains the public register of certified tradespeople.

General liability insurance

Two million dollars is the common floor for residential work. Water damage escalates fast, and a burst supply line during a renovation can exceed a small policy in an afternoon.

WSIB clearance

If a worker is injured on your property and the contractor has no coverage, you can be drawn into the claim. A clearance certificate is free for the contractor to pull and takes minutes.

Verify with: WSIB issues clearance certificates directly to the contractor on request.

TSSA gas technician certificate (only if gas is involved)

G1, G2 or G3 depending on scope. Required for anything connecting to a natural gas or propane line.

Verify with: The Technical Standards and Safety Authority regulates fuel safety in Ontario.

Questions worth asking

  • Is the person doing the work certified in 306A, or an apprentice being supervised? Both are fine. You just want to know.
  • Is this quote flat rate or time and materials? If hourly, what is the estimated range and what happens if it runs over?
  • Does the job touch a gas line, and if so who holds the TSSA certificate?
  • Does this need a municipal plumbing permit, and are you pulling it?
  • What is the warranty on labour, separately from the manufacturer warranty on parts?
