Plumber in Ajax, ON
Ajax sits right beside Pickering, so for us a call in Ajax is a short trip, not a long haul. The town has a real mix of homes: older houses in the south near the lake, family neighbourhoods built through the late twentieth century, and newer subdivisions further north. Each comes with its own plumbing habits. Pickering Plumbing serves Ajax homeowners with the same 24/7 emergency service and upfront quotes we offer in Pickering.
Whether it's a burst pipe at 2 a.m., a basement drain backing up during a spring storm, or a water heater that finally gave out, we'll pick up the phone and tell you what to do while we're on the way. For planned work, like a bathroom refresh, a new sump pump, or adding a backwater valve, we'll walk you through the job and the price before anything starts, then leave the space as clean as we found it.
Homes in Ajax
Southern Ajax shares Pickering's lakeshore conditions: older homes, higher groundwater in places, and basements that need a reliable sump pump and protection against sewer backup in heavy rain. Further north, newer homes tend to have modern plumbing, but builder-grade fixtures, sump pumps and water heaters often need attention within their first decade or so.
Across Ajax, the same Durham Region factors apply. Hard water builds scale in water heaters and fixtures, winter cold can freeze pipes on outside walls, and spring thaw puts sump pumps to work. Knowing where your main water shut-off is, and making sure it turns, is the single best thing any Ajax homeowner can do before an emergency.

Common Plumbing Problems in Ajax
Spring basement water
Snowmelt and heavy spring rain put pressure on basements across Ajax. A sump pump that fails at the wrong moment can mean a flooded basement. We repair, replace and test pumps, and can add battery backups.
Sewer backup in heavy storms
When municipal sewers are overwhelmed, wastewater can push back into basement floor drains. A properly installed backwater valve helps keep it out. We'll explain whether your home is a good candidate.
Builder-grade fixtures wearing out
In newer Ajax homes, original faucets, toilet parts and water heaters are often the first things to fail. Upgrading them with better-quality parts tends to cut down on repeat repairs.
Clogged main drain
If toilets gurgle and several drains back up at once, the blockage is likely in the main line. Stop running water and call us. We clear the line and can tell you what likely caused it.
Burst or frozen pipes
Pipes along exterior walls or in garages can freeze and split during a cold snap. Shut off the main and call us right away. We repair the damaged section and suggest ways to protect it next winter.
