Search no further, you’ve found the right plumber! Mike was quick to respond and showed up on time and with a big smile on his face. He was neat, cleaned up well after his work was done and his billing was fair. Thankyou for the great work.

Stop looking, this is the company to pick. Mike was great, was able to come by same day and got our kitchen sick running again within about 25 min. Fair price and quick professional service, what else do you need from a Plumber? Just call them.

I was very impressed with the service from this company. They were full the day I called with calls they had to attend to, but he managed to fit me in and was at the house within 3 hrs. Our toilet was leaking and didn't want it to go long without being fixed for fear it would ruin our newly installed flooring. He was very friendly and professional and explained everything to us. He was done quickly and cleaned up after the work was completed. I would highly recommend this company. They care about the work they do and it showed. I was very grateful for the prompt service.

I have been a business owner since 1982 and have had multiple locations and dealings with multiple plumbers. I can say that Mike at Plumbing for Life is the best service technician I have ever dealt with. Within minutes of calling their number, Mike reached out to me and promptly came to fix my office to fix the problem with our toilet. Once the work was completed, Mike cleaned the room. Excellent service. I would not hesitate to recommend Plumbing for Life to anyone. Ask for Mike.

Wonderful service as usual from Plumbing for Life . We had a frozen water line . Mike explained on the phone what they would do , in case we wanted to continue to try to fix the problem ourselves which I did not!They came promptly and fairly quickly had the water line thawed. A simple issue which could have been a big problem if the pipe burst. I highly recommend this company. Always excellent service.
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.
Check Plumbing For Life on the official registerGeneral 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.
Check Plumbing For Life on the official registerTSSA 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.
Check Plumbing For Life on the official registerQuestions 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?
