Plumber in Whitby, ON
Whitby is just past Ajax, and we cover it as part of our regular Durham Region service area. It's a town with a lot of range: historic homes around the older downtown core, established neighbourhoods built over several decades, and plenty of newer subdivisions to the north. That variety means plumbing calls here can be anything from replacing a corroded pipe in an older house to sorting out a fussy fixture in a home that's only a few years old.
Pickering Plumbing brings the same approach to Whitby that we use at home: answer the phone 24/7, explain the problem in plain language, and give you a price before we start. We handle emergency repairs, drain cleaning, water heaters and tankless systems, sump pumps and backwater valves, leak detection, and kitchen and bathroom plumbing. Tell us what's going on and we'll tell you how we can help.
Homes in Whitby
Older Whitby homes may still have some original plumbing, such as galvanized supply lines or cast iron drains, alongside newer repairs. Galvanized pipe can corrode from the inside, causing low pressure or discoloured water, while old cast iron drains can crack or scale up. Where we find these, we'll explain your options so you can plan updates on your own schedule rather than in an emergency.
In newer parts of town, the questions are usually different: a water heater rental you'd like to replace, a sump pump that runs constantly in spring, or interest in moving to tankless hot water. Hard water across the region affects all of them, so we often suggest regular maintenance and, for some households, a softener to protect new equipment.

Common Plumbing Problems in Whitby
Low pressure or rusty water
In older homes, galvanized pipes can corrode inside, reducing flow and discolouring water. If pressure has fallen gradually throughout the house, old supply lines may be the cause. We'll inspect and explain repiping options.
Water heater replacement
Whether your tank is owned or rented, a failing water heater means cold showers. We help you choose a tank or tankless replacement sized for your household and install it properly.
Sump pump running non-stop
A pump that runs constantly in spring may be undersized, have a stuck float, or be dealing with a lot of groundwater. We diagnose the cause and repair or upgrade the pump before it burns out.
Cracked or scaled cast iron drains
Old cast iron drain lines can develop scale or cracks that cause slow drains and odours. We clear the line and let you know if a section is due for replacement.
Leaks after renovations
New finishes can hide fresh connections that weren't done quite right. If you see staining or dampness after a renovation, call us to find the source before it damages your new work.
