How it works
2plumbers.ca is a 24/7 live call-connection service for emergency plumbing and same-day plumbing in Toronto and the GTA, operated by PatchLead. With just one call, we answer in under 60 seconds, confirm the problem and your location, and connect you on the same call to an independent plumber who has agreed in writing to hold the licences Ontario requires, is available now for 24 hour Toronto plumbing service, and discusses timing and response expectations with you live so response times are clearly communicated. You pay nothing to use the service. We are not the contractor.
Call once
Tap the number. There is no menu to fight through and no form to fill in first.
We answer in under 60 seconds
Our assistant picks up under the 2plumbers.ca name, tells you the call is recorded, and confirms your plumbing issue, your postal code, and whether it is a home or a business.
You're connected live
On the same call, you are transferred to a plumber from our network who is available now. You talk to them directly about the job, the timing, and upfront pricing before work begins.
Why call 2plumbers.ca
Ontario licensing required
Every professional plumber in our network agrees in writing to hold the licences and insurance Ontario requires: a Skilled Trades Ontario 306A certificate for plumbing work, and TSSA registration for anything involving gas. Ask for the licence number and proof of insurance before work starts, because hiring a licensed Toronto plumber helps ensure code-compliant and insured work, in line with local building codes. That insurance should include valid commercial general liability insurance and WSIB coverage. A real tradesperson expects the question. Ask, too, about a workmanship warranty and whether the repair needs a municipal permit in Toronto or may qualify for municipal rebates.
24/7 emergency plumbing services, including overnight and holidays
The line is answered around the clock, every day of the year, including in the middle of the night. Our assistant confirms the problem and your postal code, then transfers you to a plumber who is on call so they can respond quickly when you call outside normal hours, because fast help matters in any plumbing emergency, including leaks, leaking pipes, overflowing toilets, water line issues, or major flooding. If nobody in your area is free at that moment, you are told so on the call rather than left waiting, which supports reliable service when you need help immediately and helps the plumber work efficiently and aim for lasting solutions, not just a temporary fix.
No forms in an emergency
When there is water on the floor you should not be typing. Tap the number, talk, and get connected. The online request is for work that can wait until our calling hours, and it ends in the same live connection.

Emergency guides
Plain steps for the few minutes before a plumber arrives for urgent plumbing problems: what to shut off, what to stay away from, and when to call Enbridge or 311 first to help limit water damage, including what to do for a small leak, a clogged toilet, faucet issues that can waste up to 200 gallons a day, bathroom problems before help arrives, or flood-prevention equipment issues like a sump pump if a sump pump fails; some municipalities offer rebates up to $3,200 for installation.
- Burst Pipe Repair: What to Do Right Now (Toronto)Burst pipe repair starts with shutting off the main water valve, then opening a tap on the lowest floor to drain pressure from the system.
- Sewer Backup Toronto: What to Do Right Now if Sewage is Backing Up in the BasementIf you’re dealing with a sewer backup in Toronto, stop all water use in the house right away, keep people and pets out of the affected area, treat everything the water has touched as contaminated, and switch off power only if it’s safe to do so.
- No Hot Water Toronto: What to Check Right NowIf you have no hot water in Toronto, start by checking whether the problem is throughout the property or only at one fixture, then look at the simple causes: the breaker for an electric heater, the pilot light or gas valve for a gas one, whether you are getting only warm water, whether there is also no heat, and whether the tank has a leak.
- I Smell Natural Gas Near My Furnace or Water Heater What Should I Do Right Now: Leave First, Then Call (Toronto)If you smell rotten eggs near your furnace or water heater, leave the home immediately without switching anything on or off and call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 from outside; if the smell is strong or you hear hissing, call 911 as well.
Common questions
What does it cost me to use 2plumbers.ca?
You pay the plumber, and only the plumber. Reaching us costs nothing, whether by phone or through the online request, and we add nothing to your invoice. Whatever they quote and you accept is the whole of it, settled between the two of you without us in the middle.
Who answers when I call?
Not a person. An AI-assisted assistant run by PatchLead answers under the 2plumbers.ca name, and the first thing it says is that the call is recorded. It then asks what has gone wrong, where you are, and whether the address is residential or commercial, before handing the call straight to a plumber.
How fast is the connection?
Under 60 seconds to be answered, at any hour. A short set of questions after that and you are speaking to a plumber on the same call — no hanging up, no waiting for anyone to ring back. Arrival time is not ours to promise; you agree that with the plumber once you are connected.
Are the plumbers licensed?
Every plumber in our network agrees in writing to hold the licences and insurance Ontario requires, including a Skilled Trades Ontario 306A certificate for plumbing and TSSA registration for gas work. We do not perform the work ourselves, so ask the plumber for their licence number before it starts.
Which areas do you cover?
Anywhere in Toronto and the GTA can reach the line. Before connecting you, the assistant checks your postal code against the plumbers who actually cover it, and that check happens on the call rather than after it. Typing the same postal code into the online form triggers the identical check, with a waitlist for areas we have not reached.
What if my problem is not urgent?
Use the online request. Pick same-day or planning ahead, tell us the issue and your postal code, and verify your number by text. We confirm by text from (437) 523-7772, then phone you from a local Ontario number during calling hours; press 1 and you are connected live to a plumber on that call.
Should I shut the main water valve before calling?
If water is running and the fixture's own valve will not stop it, yes. The main shut-off is usually where the pipe enters the house, often in the basement near the meter; turn it clockwise until it stops. Do that first, then call. If you cannot find it, or it will not budge, call anyway and say so — it changes how urgent the job is and what the plumber brings.
I smell gas. What should I do?
Leave the building first. Do not switch anything on or off, and do not use a phone indoors. From outside, call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 and, if the smell is strong, 911. Once the gas company has made the property safe, call us and we will connect you to a plumber from our network for the repair.
What happens if no plumber is available?
You hear it straight away instead of waiting on hold. Your request stays live, and we phone you the moment somebody near you is free, within calling hours. Calling the line again is fine as well; it is answered 24/7.
