Faucet repair outside
Anyone and everyone in Toronto knows how bitter cold the temperatures are in winter. The cold leads to various problems like stalled vehicles, high heating bills, and frozen pipes, and plumbing lines. The temperatures are so low in winter in Toronto that it freezes the pipes and the water you need for drinking, washing, and cleaning. We know how much your life depends on water, so we help keep a continuous flow of water even in winter. We will both repair frozen pipes and prevent pipes from freezing and icing through thawing.
Thawing saves your properties and you hundreds of dollars in frozen pipe repairs. If you wonder what thawing it, it’s unfreezing. Sometimes pipes that are unfrozen may end up damaged or prone to further damage. Our frozen pipe repair experts will assess your pipes and plumbing system and suggest the right course of action.
Our frozen pipe repair services generally comprise of:
- Problem identification and isolation
- Providing a temporary solution for everyday activities
- Thawing the frozen pipes
Do you need custom plumbing work?
With custom plumbing, you can get exactly the fixtures and features you want, designed and installed with precision to ensure that everything works just the way you need it to. This can save you time and money in the long run, as well as make the space look much better.
Why do pipes freeze in Toronto?
It’s simple- it’s all because of the cold, bitter winter and fundamental physics. Sometimes the water in exposed residential or commercial pipes that aren’t insulated with a thermal wrap can freeze on chilly nights or days. It’s a known fact that water expands and increases in pressure when frozen. Besides, various components like kwc faucet valves and water heater regulate the temperature of water in your plumbing lines.
Water once frozen stops flowing, and also stresses the pipes so much that they may burst. It can not only cause a leak but also lead to severe water damage.Pipes freezing are a seasonal problem. However, it sometimes lasts longer in improperly installed or insulated pipes, and where temperatures remain sub-zero for a few days.
What do I do if my pipes freeze in winter?
No pipe, regardless of its material type, is termed safe from the cold winter temperatures. While PVC pipes rarely explode, the slightest crack can lead to flooding of 250 gallons of water a day!
That’s why the best thing to do if there’s a leak is to turn off the main water valve till we arrive. You can then thaw the frozen line using a hairdryer or other heating appliance. Slow water flow is another sign that the pipe is freezing, and it’s better to call us immediately if you notice it.
However, you needn’t worry about thawing frozen water lines or replacing old ones because we will do it for you. We have been helping the residents of Toronto and GTA with their frozen and burst water line and pipe woes for years and are now experts.
What if I’m unaware of the frozen pipes?
It’s possible that you won’t even realize that your pipes are frozen. It’s because a though you may notice a split, it takes time for water from freezing and creating a flood. So you may end up with a large ice glob, but no leak, when water expands and splits open the pipe.
Besides, as ice blocks the split, it has to warm up to start leaking. It’s lucky if you are at home when it starts thawing. You will notice the damage and flooding on time and minimize loss by turning off the water. However, things won’t be as pretty if you weren’t at home!
You may end up with a flooded home if you had never noticed the leak, and it starts warming up and leaking when you are away or sleeping. Here’s an official guide for Toronto.
How to prevent frozen water pipes
Prevention is always better than cure, even in the case of frozen water pipes. Here are some things you can do to minimize the chances of your pipe freezing.
1. Using heating cabled or insulated pipes
It’s better to install heating electric cables near the pipes so that they don’t freeze in freezing temperatures. Some additional insulation like a winter jacket on the pipes also helps prevent freezing by keeping the area warm.
2. Turning off appliances not used in winter
It’s better to turn off the water to faucets and appliances you won’t be using much in winter. For example, it’s better to turn off the main water supply if you will be away for a few days. It prevents freezing and possible damage in your absence. Also, disconnect outside hoses before the weather gets too cold to prevent them from freezing and damaging connecting pipes. Properly drain all exterior water pipes and bleed out the kwc faucets till there’s no water in the line. It’s especially important for areas where your water lines are not insulated properly and are vulnerable to the cold.
3. Increase heat around pipes
Keep the garage door shut during winter months if there’s water supply running through the garage. However, keep the bathroom, and kitchen cabinets open in cold winter months to let the hot air freely circulate and prevent freezing.

Reached out to Dima Plumbing based on the overwhelming positive reviews on Homestars. Was contacted promptly by Andrei, I provided a few pictures and description of what I wanted and he was very upfront with the solution and pricing. Andrei arrived exactly when he said he would and did an amazing job installing drain baskets and piping for a new kitchen sink and copper water line to our new fridge. The work was done quickly and the quality of the install was excellent. Andrei was very pleasant to chat with throughout the entire process and I would absolutely work with him again!

Andrei Dima of Dima Plumbing is very professional, skillful, courteous, patient, and has the best customer service I have seen. He works wonderfully with his father, John Dima, in their trade business.
Last Thursday night, I had a very stubborn kitchen sink clog, and Andrei came to the rescue just 4 hours after I called him on Friday morning. He was very honest about the work, and the phone estimate was very accurate.
There was some complication with the clog, leading the snake to go up the vent rather than going down the pipe where the clog was. Andrei recognized the problem and patiently re-snaked the pipe to clear the clog. He explained what was going on every step of the way and shared his train of thought with me, which I appreciate.
In addition, he was very careful and patient with my existing pipe when opening it up to avoid any cracks. He also helped me clear up my under-the-sink cabinet before his work and cleaned up any mess afterwards. I am very impressed.
After the repair, Andrei showed me some tips on maintaining the kitchen sink to reduce the chances of it clogging up again in the future. I am very appreciative of his initiatives.
What differentiates Andrei from others is that he is very professional, enthusiastic and takes pride in doing his job, in addition to his honest and friendly personality.
I will definitely use him again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone in need of his service.

We had a leak in a basement ceiling pipe and needed a plumber quickly. Andre came the same day and even though it was quite late for him and we were his last job on a Friday, he was just so pleasant and lovely. And he did an amazing job. Very reasonably priced. 5 stars PLUS! Top notch business.

Had a clogged sink and they arrived within 24 hrs. They fixed the problem quickly, took the time to clearly explain how to prevent these clogs from happening in the future and were reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again.

We use Dima Plumbing for ALL our plumbing needs. They have always provided a smooth, efficient, and professional service. Our most recent call to Dima Plumbing was for a toilet shut-off valve leak; Andrei fixed the leak the same day. One of the best examples of service occurred during our recent kitchen renovation. Dima Plumbing provided consulting advice prior to our purchase on a new undermount sink. Once the renovation began, Dima Plumbing was first on the scene to cap off the drain (allowing the installers unhindered access for cabinet installation) and was last on the scene to reconnect the sink and the dishwasher back to the drain. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED plumbing service! Thank you Andrei and Dima Plumbing!

John is an absolute pleasure to deal with. One morning woke up to some really bad water stains on the kitchen ceiling due to some kind of leak in the bathroom above.. Reached out to John who was very attentive with excellent communication. He instructed me to take a couple photos and answer a few questions. He was able to diagnose the problem accurately and provide me with a quote for the work in a quick email exchange. He came, resolved my problem and everything was done well and completely transparent with everything.. He also took a look at another issue I had and provided great guidance there as well. I could not be more happy with the service John provided. He's a fantastic plumber and a great authentic, friendly guy. Look no further if you need a great plumbing services.

A great company with real professionals and affordable prices.
Andrei diagnosed, explained and eliminated two problems for us - with a stink in the laundry room due to an incorrect connection of the washing machine, and with a leaky bath tub.
He was extremely polite and patient during the conversation, came on time, proposed the least intrusive solutions, and was very attentive, careful and clean in his work.
Thanks a lot, Andrei — amazing job! 👍

I’d used John’s service twice within last several months. First to replace the basket strainers with the kitchen sink, he also replaced the piping without charging extra when he saw the pipes not installed properly from before. Second time was to repair a leaking toilet. John was able to identify the issue when I explained to him on the phone and he came and fixed it. He also fixed other issue on the day he visited and the charges are reasonable. Will definitely use the again

We hired Dima Plumbing to replace our outdoor faucet since it was rusty and our old hose was corroded stuck on it. John came on time, was polite and personable, very efficient with the job, and offered helpful tips on what do with outdoor faucets during the winter. The highlight for me was watching John work. It was a quick and straightforward replacement (less than 30 mins) but you could see the years of knowledge and experience with how smoothly John replaced the old faucet, cleaned away the years of rust and corrosion, and attached the brand new bib. It was like watching those mastercraftsmen working effortlessly with their tools to scrape and sculpt something from nothing. Highly recommend John and Dima Plumbing!

It's actually my second time calling Dima Plumbing. The first time the pipes under my sink were leaking and I needed a new tap. John installed a new tap and fixed the pipes. The cabinet under the sink has been bone dry ever since. When my kitchen sink wasn't draining and was backing up into my dishwasher and flooding onto the floor, I knew just who to call. John saved me from doing my dishes in the bathtub! He arrived within a couple of hours and had the problem fixed in no time. I have already recommended his friendly, professional, and efficient service to my friends and family members. Knowing I can call Dima Plumbing if I ever have a problem gives me peace of mind. Thank you, John!

John is an absolute legend. We found and hired John ~3-4 years ago about a hot water tank/pipe issue at our condo and what stuck with me was his knowledge and professionalism.
Fast forward to this week and we were looking to get a new dishwasher installed and who did we go back to? Yup. John. His attention to detail is superb and spent a lot of time making sure the leveling and fit, etc. was just right. I honestly can’t think of someone else I would recommend/use for my plumbing needs. Thank you, John!

John was very quick to respond to my inquiry, call him in the morning and arrived the same afternoon. Had him inspect my toilet flange after i had renovated the flooring. He was in an out in a matter of 30 mins. Will definitely call him again!
January 11, 2021
Fast, efficient and quality work for a great price. You can tell John is a master of his craft. He was polite and professional and got everything done and dusted before I knew it. Thanks, Dima Plumbing. Will definitely recommend and hire them again!

Dima Plumbing replaced 2 outdoor and 2 indoor faucets for us. Andrei was always very prompt to respond to any questions we had beforehand, and was always very courteous throughout the whole process. His workmanship was excellent, and we had no issues. We would definitely use him again for our next plumbing project!
September 25, 2024
The wall behind my toliet was making a loud noise whenever I flushed so I found John on the internet with good reviews. John answered his phone quickly and an appointment was scheduled for the next morning. John was very prompt and efficient and replaced the valve in my toilet in 30 mins. John is also pleasant and very professional to deal with.

Andrei rocks! Provided incredibly great customer service, value and responsiveness. Installed two faucets, hooked up a vanity sink, rebuilt both vanity plumbing and fixed an ongoing issue with toilet water supply. For the whole process explained what was required and why - was total confident in the job! Wish there was a six star review. Totally recommend Dima Plumbing. So glad to find my 'go to' plumbing trades person. Thank you so much!
