Licensed Plumbers in Vaughan | GOGO Plumbers

Need reliable plumbers in Vaughan that do turn up on time?

Our licensed team applies the same-day, any-hour approach to sewer backups and drain repair, installations of full water softener systems, and installations of tankless water heaters.

Why Vaughan Homes Need a Different Kind of Plumber

Vaughan isn't a one-size-fits-all city. Between the traditional bungalows of Woodbridge, Kleinburg, and the new-build developments of Maple and Vellore Village, there is a plumbing character of each neighbourhood. The City of Vaughan is located on the watershed of the Humber River whose soil is heavy in clay thus straining the underground sewer lines and the York Region water supply is mineral based thus ruining the pipes, appliances and fixtures every year.

Combine the dramatic freeze cycles every winter of Vaughan and you have a city in which your plumbing problems do not seek permission before they strike.

This is how homeowners throughout Vaughan have placed their trust in GOGO Plumbers not only because we implement fixes, but because we know why they broke in the first place.

Plumbing Challenges Specific to Vaughan, Ontario

Clay Soil & Shifting Ground = Sewer Line Stress

The composition of the soil in Vaughan causes sewer and drain lines to move, break and become infested by tree roots much faster than most homeowners anticipate. A sewer blockage in this case will not be grease, but a root intrusion or a displaced joint of the pipes as the ground shifts over the years.

Hard Water Is Quietly Expensive

The water hardness in York Region is moderate-hard enough to leave mineral deposits in the inside of your pipes, inside of your water heater tank, and greatly reduces the life of your appliances. Until they install a water softener system, most Vaughan homeowners do not realize the amount of money they are wasting on hard water.

Newer Subdivisions, Older Surprises

Many of the large planned communities that Vaughan has constructed were constructed quickly in the 1990s and 2000s. It refers to old-first-generation-builder-grade fixtures, original sump systems and drain lines, which are currently 25-30 years in age. They require maintenance and not mere fixes.

Our Core Plumbing Services in Vaughan

1. Drain & Sewer Plumbing Services in Vaughan

It could be one slow drain in your kitchen or a sewer overflow that floods your basement, drain issues in Vaughan can grow out of control. The clay soil, pressure of tree roots and accumulation of grease and minerals over the years combine to ensure that a small nuisance transforms into a clogged sewer line emergency in a few days.

What We Handle:

Drain Cleaning Near Vaughan: Our technicians have high quality equipment that they use to unblock kitchen sink drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and laundry lines. No chemicals that harm older pipes that are available over the counter. We take out the block at the head.

Hydro Jet Plumbing: For hard to remove, repeat clogs, hydro jetting rips through years of grease, soap scum and mineral scales with high-pressure water. Your pipes are running like new without the harsh chemicals and needless excavation. It is our preferred choice of commercial drain cleaning in Vaughan restaurants and food service companies.

Video Camera Sewer Line Inspection: Before telling you to do anything to repair your drain we run the camera through your line. This will save you time and money by finding the exact problem that is in your sewer line (tree roots), a section of the pipe has collapsed, or it is just a simple blockage.

Sewer Backup Prevention and Repair: When the sewage has risen through your basement floor drain, then you probably have a blockage in your main line, or a back-pitched pipe. Our diagnosis and repair of sewer backups is both permanent and not temporary. We also install sewer backup valves (backwater valves) literally to prevent the sewage to re-enter your house during high rainfall; the City of Vaughan will provide a rebate on it, and we will also do the permits.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement: When the drain pipe repair is available but the complete replacement is necessary, we will provide trenchless sewer line replacement which enters your pipe using small holes instead of destroying your yard, driveway or landscaping. Less mess. Less time. Same permanent result.

Sewer and Drain Service: Both residential and commercial properties such as storm drain cleaning, drain pipe cleaning and emergency drain service are provided on a 24-hour basis.

Signs You Need Drain Service in Vaughan Now:

Multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time
Gurgling sounds from drains when other fixtures are in use
Sewage odour near basement floor drains
Water backing up into your shower when the toilet is flushed
Recurring drain clogs that keep coming back despite DIY attempts

2. Water Softener Installation & Repair in Vaughan

Hard water is the unheard problem in plumbing in Vaughan and most homeowners fail to notice it until the damage is done. York Region water has moderate levels of minerals that are moderately hard to hard depending on season and source. Calcium and magnesium gradually accumulate over time, in the inside of your supply lines, around faucet aerators, within your water heater tank and in your dishwasher and washing machine. The outcome is an untimely breakdown of appliances, unresponsive white scale formation, dry skin and hair, and plumbing repair bills which can only be described as inexplicable.

Having a water softener installed in your Vaughan house will remove these issues at their source.

Our Water Softener Services:

Installation of Water Softener System: We evaluate the amount of water consumed by your home, the level of hardness of your water, and the water pipe system and then suggest a water softener system. All of our water softeners are adjusted to the water chemistry of Vaughan and not a factory profile. Whole-home soft water installation treats all the fixtures, appliances and pipes of the building at the same time.

Installation of Water Softener in Existing Plumbing: Tight Utility Room? Older copper lines? Unusual pipe routing? Our technicians have installed water softeners in every type of set up in the homes of Vaughan. We do not short-cut bypass valves, drain connections, or route of brine lines.

Hard Water Softener System Sizing: The largest error that people make is to purchase a system which is too small. We compute your household water needs and size per day and accordingly, your system regenerates effectively without wasting salt and water.

Water Softener Repair and Maintenance: Does it already have a softener, which is not working properly?? The diagnosis of salt bridging (when salt crystals form on the inner wall of the tank with the brine and prevent the regeneration process), the breakage of resin beads, mistakes with the control valve, and motor failures are diagnosed. A properly serviced home water softener has a life of 12-18 years. We have yours on the full distance.

What Changes After Water Softener System Installation:

Soap lathers properly you’ll use noticeably less
Laundry comes out softer and colors stay brighter longer
Dishes and glassware dry spot-free
Showerheads and faucets stay clean between scrubbings
Your water heater runs more efficiently and lasts years longer

3. Water Heater Installation & Repair in Vaughan

Cold in January, in Vaughan, is not only unpleasant but it is a symptom that your system requires attention. Water heaters in Vaughan are overworked than most of the homeowners know. Of either the mineral deposits in the water supply of York Region multiplying to form sediment in the bottoms of tanks, or of the excessive extremes of temperatures between seasons the average water heater here dies prematurely before the length of life indicated by the manufacturer.

We offer complete services in water heater repairs and maintenance of Vaughan households and businesses, including regular maintenance to increase the life of the water heater and complete replacement of the entire hot water tank when repair is no longer cost effective.

Tank Water Heater Services:

Water Heater Repair: Not all failures require replacement. Malfunctioning thermostat, heating coil burnt out, defective pressure relief valve, or broken water heater connection can be easily fixed within a day. We determine fairly whether repair is worthwhile, we repair it. When the unit has exceeded its economic life we inform you in no uncertain terms.

Replacement of the hot water tank: When your old tank needs to be replaced, we advise you on the required size of the new tank depending on the size of your family and usage habits. We do all the removal of the old unit, installation of the new unit, install the proper venting, install expansion tank where it is code required and sign-off inspection.

Water Heater Maintenance: Sediment flushing is an annual plumbing maintenance activity that is not given much attention in Vaughan. The accumulation of sediment in the bottom of your tank makes your unit work harder, raises your gas or hydro bill and speeds up the corrosion. We empty, flush and check your unit to ensure that it is operating at optimum efficiency.

Tankless Water Heater Installation:

Tankless Hot Water Installation is one of our most popular upgrades that we are currently and will be doing in Vaughan. A tankless water heater offers truly unlimited hot water (no tank to run out), lasts 20+ years compared to 10-12 of a tank model, and is much smaller in your mechanical room.

We install Gas and electric tankless, do all gas line installation and venting to Ontario code and obtain permits with the building division of the City of Vaughan on your behalf.

Mostly in the larger houses of Kleinburg, Vellore Village, and Sonoma Heights, tankless installation is most common in Vaughan because of the multiple bathrooms and considerable household demand that results in constant frustrations with conventional tank systems.

Signs Your Vaughan Water Heater Needs Attention:

Hot water runs out faster than it used to
Strange popping or rumbling sounds from the tank (sediment)
Rust-coloured or metallic-tasting hot water
Visible water around the base of the unit
Unit is 10+ years old and showing declining performance

4. Toilet Repair & Toilet Installation in Vaughan

Vaughan water rates have been rising steadily over the last ten years, something that turns a running toilet that consumes up to 200 litres a day into an actual expense in your monthly water bill. We do not over-sell you and can fix a toilet leak, replace a toilet flapper, install a new toilet, or assist you in a totally clogged toilet.

What We Fix:

Running toilets (faulty fill valves, worn flappers, float issues)
Toilet blockage and clogged toilet problems that a plunger can’t resolve
Cracked toilet bases and tank-to-bowl seal failures
Replacing wax ring on toilet to stop floor-level leaks

New Toilet Installation in Vaughan: When the cost and waste of repairing a toilet is higher than replacing it, we install high efficiency toilets such as dual-flush toilets that help save 20-30 percent of water per flush. We do the entire installation of toilet plumbing such as the installation of new supply lines, shut-off valves, wax ring-sealing, and level-setting.

We stock items in all of the leading brands, and therefore most toilet repairs are accomplished within a visit to the shop, no special orders.

5. Faucet Repair & Installation in Vaughan

An overnight bathtub faucet dripping wastes more water than most Vaughan homeowners approximate. Dripping faucet at one drop a second will be more than 11,000 litres in a year. We fix leaky faucets, replace new fixtures and ensure that all the fixtures in your home have the correct flow and temperature.

Our Faucet Services Include:

Leaky faucet repair cartridge, washer, and O-ring replacement for ball, cartridge, and ceramic disc faucets
Kitchen faucet installation pull-down sprayer models, filtered water faucets, and touchless upgrades
Bathroom faucet installation single-handle and widespread configurations
Outdoor faucet repair we install frost-free hose bibs that self-drain to prevent freeze damage each winter
Moen faucet repair including cartridge replacements for Moen’s proprietary systems
Bathtub faucet dripping and bathtub faucet leaking diagnosis and repair

The hard water at Vaughan makes the faucet cartridges wear at a higher rate as compared to soft-water cities. When your taps are hard, dripping or have low pressure, we normally start by examining the inside of the cartridge or aerator to identify the presence of minerals.

6. Shower Repair & Installation in Vaughan

Reduced pressure in Vaughan showers is nearly always due to either mineral scale obstructing the showerhead or valve body, or a faulty pressure-balancing cartridge. Both can be repaired frequently within a day.

Shower Repair Services:

Shower faucet repair and shower faucet replacement for all major brands
Shower valve replacement including pressure-balancing and thermostatic mixing valves
Leaking shower diagnosis tile grout failures, valve leaks, and pan liner failures each require a different fix
Unclog shower drain and shower drain cleaning for hair, soap, and mineral buildup
Changing Moen shower cartridge including the full range of Moen Posi-Temp and thermostatic models

Shower Installation: Have a plan to renovate your bathroom in your home in Vaughan? We fit entire shower plumbing systems such as rough-in supply lines, valve bodies, and drain connections of walk-in showers, tub shower replacement projects, and unique multi-head arrangements. Waterproofing is in accordance with the Ontario Building Code.

Vaughan Plumbing FAQs

How fast does GOGO Plumbers respond to emergency plumbing calls in Vaughan?

In case of emergency, we will strive to reach any part of Vaughan within 60-90 minutes. Timing can be slightly impacted by extreme weather, such as deep freezes, however burst pipes, sewer backups and flooding are always given the highest priority dispatch.

Do I need a permit for drain or sewer work in Vaughan?

Yes, significant drain repairs, sewer line replacement, and backwater valve installations typically require a permit from the City of Vaughan. Our service of taking all permit applications and scheduling of inspections, is free of any additional administrative fee.

My Vaughan basement drain keeps backing up every spring. What causes that?

Thaw in spring, saturates the ground and elevates the water table, a factor that may overwhelm older municipal sewer systems and personal lines. The long-term best solution is to install a backwater valve and have a running sump pump. We evaluate them in one visit.

Is a tankless water heater worth it for a Vaughan home?

Yes to the majority of Vaughan families, particularly in bigger houses where tank depletion is a common aggravation. Tankless models offer unlimited hot water, have a lifespan of 20 years and more and are more efficient in hard water settings when well maintained. We will provide you with a fair cost-benefit analysis on your particular case.

How do I know if my Vaughan home needs a water softener?

Signs of white scale around faucets, soap that does not foam, stiff laundry, spotty glassware, etc., are all obvious. The water supply of York Region is so hard that the installation of a water softener system in the majority of Vaughan homes is beneficial to a great extent. During a service visit, we can test your water hardness.

Can you fix an old clogged drain in a 1990s Vaughan subdivision home?

Absolutely. Homes constructed in the significant growth of Vaughan in the late 1980s-early 2000s are currently 25-35 years old. Their drainage systems are becoming so congested that joints are separating, tree roots are entering and scale is building up and this is causing a recurrent problem. These lines are regularly camera-inspected and cleared and trenchless repair options are provided where complete replacement is required.
