Joanne Pirstl

Huge thanks to Graham for getting me outta a jam with frozen pipes. Very professional and courteous. Would use this company again!! Top notch.

Anna Jarvis

We have used this company before to replace our hot water tank and kitchen sinks. Very professional and on time, with great work. Recently we had a leak in the ptrap under the sink. A plumber came the next morning and was there just over an hour to replace the pipe under the sink. Great job very friendly. We will definitely use their services again. :)

Jennifer Francis

Issues that require companies like this seem to never be easy to deal with. The gentlemen that came from this company were professional, on time, and the right amount of humour to make the day seem brighter. I would highly recommend them.

Cheryl Dillon

Can’t say enough good things about the wonderful service we received today. Roots removed from sewer line, camera video to show us what was happening and where the issue was, good options explained if more problems occurred in future. Avery and Josh were polite, personable and professional. Thanks!

Scott Lee

Very happy with our recent service. I booked the appointment online and picked a date and they were here on that date and right on time. The plumber worked very quickly and fixed our broken toilet. I had been putting this off for a long time because I thought a plumber’s house call would be extremely expensive, but I found Ubdegrove to be very reasonable. Would not hesitate to contact them again and would strongly recommend them.

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?
