A frozen pipe rarely announces itself until it’s too late; the burst happens quietly behind a wall, and you find out when water’s already on the floor. VIP Restoration’s plumbing team handles both ends of the problem: locating and thawing pipes before they fail, and responding fast when one already has. Age, corrosion, freezing, and pressure from a clogged drain can all cause a pipe to give out, and in a Toronto winter, freezing is usually the culprit.

Once the water’s been dealt with, we don’t stop there. Our infrared cameras scan behind walls and under floors to check for additional leaks you can’t see, because one burst pipe often means the rest of the system is under the same strain.

For homes with older plumbing, this isn’t usually a one-time event. A pipe that failed from age or corrosion is often a sign the rest of the system is due for a closer look, and we’ll flag anything we find during the scan before it turns into next winter’s emergency call.
