2. Drain & Sewer Services

A plugged or broken drainage system does not simply inconvenience you, it may result in serious structural damage, health risks and thousands of dollars of property damage. GOGO Plumbers offers full drain and sewer solutions in Kitchener with the help of state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and the time-tested repair procedures, which focus on the cause, not on the effect.

Our Drain and Sewer services in Kitchener:

Drain Cleaning & Clearing: The older residential neighbourhoods of Drain Cleaning & Clearing Kitchener are likely to have old drain infrastructure that is likely to accumulate, root and have joint failures. We do much more than snake the drains. With a hydro jet plumbing technology, which is capable of operating on a pressure up to 4,000 PSI, we clean the inner part of the pipes removing grease, scale, mineral deposits, and even tree root masses left behind by cable machines. The outcome is not a drain that is drained just like the old one, but a drain that flows like new.

Sewer Backup Response & Prevention: Sewer backup is one of the worst plumbing problems that a homeowner in Kitchener may encounter with raw sewage in your home floor drains, toilet in your basement, or other lower-level fixtures. We are quick to respond to active backup emergencies, discover the cause via high-definition camera inspection, and employ immediate and permanent solutions. We also install sewer backup valves to ensure that future events do not damage your property due to the overloading of the municipal system like during frequent rainy periods in the spring of that year in Kitchener.

Sewer Line Inspection & Diagnostics: We inspect the sewer line with HD video camera technology and then suggest any repair. You get video footage with time stamps, a written report and an accurate location mapping of any defects that provide you with complete visibility and data to make an informed decision. The service is priceless to Kitchener homeowners who buy older homes or who encounter chronic and inexplicable drainage issues.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement: Conventional sewer replacement implies ripped up yards, ruined driveways and weeks of construction. With our trenchless sewer line replacement technology, it only takes two little access holes to place a new seamless pipe liner into your current sewer line: no digging up of your lawn, no patios being knocked down, no weeks of inconvenience. The cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner is resistant to corrosion and root invasion as well as has 50 plus years warranties. The technique saves lots of money and stress on Kitchener properties that have mature trees, completed landscaping, or paved driveways across sewer lines.

Q: How do I know if I have a sewer line problem and not just a single clogged drain?

The chief distinction is extent. One blocked drain can be separated and your kitchen sink spills over, yet all is well. Sewer line issues impact more than one fixture at the time. Keep an eye out on the following warning signs: several drains filling simultaneously, gurgling in your toilet as you run the bath water, foul sewage smells in the basement floor drains, water standing around the floor drain, or a distinctly green patch of grass in your yard. When you find any of these, or any combination of them in your Kitchener home, call us at once, and we will send a camera to the rescue, and a growing sewer difficulty will cost you thousands of dollars to be prevented.

3. Water Heater Services Kitchener

Hot water is more than a nuisance in an Ontario winter, it is a real home emergency. GOGO Plumbers offers full water heater service in Kitchener, including emergency repairs on the same day, complete replacement of the hot water tank and installation of tankless water heaters.

Kitchener’s hard water is particularly tough on water heaters. Mineral scale forms an internal tank and heat exchanger restricting performance, decreasing equipment life and increasing energy expenses. Our technicians have been trained to deal with the particular problems that the water quality of Kitchener poses to water heating systems.

Water Heater Services We Provide:

Water Heater Repair: Repair is always considered before advising to replace. Our technicians get the diagnosis right, be it a broken heating element, failing thermostat, wear out anode rod, or a problem with the pressure relief valve and give you a truthful evaluation of whether it is more financially prudent to repair or replace the issue.

Hot Water Tank Replacement: When your water heater has outlived its useful life (usually 10-15 years with standard tanks), we can take care of your entire hot water tank replacement, including take down and responsible disposal of your old system, install your new system, and connect and test it to make sure everything is functioning safely and efficiently.

Tankless Water Heater Installation: Thinking about making the switch to on-demand hot water? Tankless water heaters offer unlimited hot water supply, use much smaller areas of space and can save a lot of energy. We measure the hot water demand of your house, suggest the appropriate unit to fit your number of people, and we do complete installation of tankless water heaters including any gas line or electrical modifications.

Water Heater Maintenance: Annual service will dramatically increase your water heater life and save on energy. We drain the tank, replace the anode rod when necessary, check the pressure relief valve, check connections, and test the system, a small investment, which will save us untimely failure and expensive emergency repair.

Services at a glance:

Same-day water heater repair in Kitchener
Hot water tank replacement (all brands and sizes)
Tankless water heater installation and conversion
Water heater maintenance and tune-up
Expansion tank installation
Pressure relief valve replacement
Emergency no-hot-water service calls

Q: Should I repair or replace my water heater?

The golden rule: When your water heater is less than 8 years old and the repair is less than half of the replacement price, then repair is usually a good choice. With an age above 10-12 years, when it needs frequent repairs, when it rusts or corrodes, and when its efficiency is much lower, it is usually wiser to replace it. Our Kitchener plumbers will provide you with an honest, no-pressure evaluation, to enable you to decide on the option that suits your home and budget.

4. Water Softener Services in Kitchener

Kitchener is in a locality where the water is hard. Because of the high mineral content, mainly of calcium and magnesium, the pipes and appliances accumulate limescales, diminishes the efficiency of the soaps and detergents, leaves spots on the fixtures and the glassware, and greatly lowers the lifespan of the water heater, dishwasher and washing machines. One of the most effective plumbing additions that a Kitchener homeowner can have is a properly sized and installed home water softener.

Our water softener services:

Water Softener System Consultation & Sizing: Not all homes have the same level of water hardness or hot water requirement. We will test your water, evaluate the amount of water you use on a daily basis in your house and will suggest the kind and size of water softener system that fits your budget. A small unit will not be sufficient to keep your plumbing secure; a large unit wastes salt and water on regeneration processes.

Installation of Water Softeners: Our certified plumbers will take care of whole water softener system installation which includes: choosing the best place to install the system, connecting the unit to your main water source, brine tank setup, programming the regeneration schedule and testing the system to ensure that soft water is supplied in all parts of your home.

Servicing and Maintenance of Water Softeners: A good system requires time to be maintained. We repair every make and model of water softener, such as salt replacement instructions, resin bed maintenance, valves maintenance, and system re-calibration. Unless your softener is doing what it is supposed to, when you begin to see the scale reappearing or salt bridging in the brine tank our Kitchener plumbers can troubleshoot and get it running as it should.

Services at a glance:

Water hardness testing and system recommendation
Home water softener installation (all major brands)
Water softener system replacement and upgrades
Existing system servicing and repairs
Salt delivery guidance and maintenance scheduling
Integration with whole-home water treatment systems

Q: How do I know if I need a water softener in my Kitchener home?

The Municipal water supply of Kitchener is in the range of hard and very hard constantly. Some of the typical symptoms of the effect: white crusty at faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes and glassware despite washing, soap that does not lather well, laundry that is rough or rigid in the post-wash state, and a water heater that requires more frequent service than usual. Whenever you have two or more of these you will notice that a home water softener system will help in making a visible difference in your day to day lives and save your investment in plumbing.

5. Toilet Installation and Replacement Services

One of the most disruptions plumbing issues a home can have and one of the most frequent calls that we get by Kitchener homeowners is a malfunctioning toilet. Be it the toilet that is suddenly not clearing, the tank that won’t stop running, the base that is leaking or you are just willing to install a new toilet as part of renovating your bathroom, GOGO Plumbers will take care of all your toilet related plumbing needs swiftly and accurately.

Our Toilet Services:

Clogged Toilet Repair: A clogged toilet that does not respond to a plunger is likely to have an obstruction deeper in the drain line or a more severe obstruction that would need professional equipment. Our plumbers employ augers and, when the blockage is too deep, camera inspection to find the blockage and remove it fully without damaging your toilet or drain line.

Toilet Repair: Running toilets cause silent litre wastage of hundreds of litres of water per day and this is a huge addition to your water bill. Phantom flushing, poor flush, wobbling, or a toilet which is leaking at the bottom are all problems our plumbers can diagnose and fix effectively. On every service vehicle, we have common replacement parts to fix the majority of toilet repairs during one visit.

New Toilet Installation and Replacement: Toilet replacement or installation in a bathroom addition Our plumbers do full toilet installation whether it is a replacement of an old, inefficient toilet or an addition added to a bathroom. We carry out the removal and disposal of your old unit, fit the new toilet to manufacturer requirements, check the wax seal is proper, check all connections and test against leakages before we go.

Services at a glance:

Clogged toilet diagnosis and clearing
Toilet repair (fill valve, flapper, flush valve, supply line)
Running toilet repair
Toilet base leak repair
New toilet installation and replacement
Dual-flush and water-efficient toilet upgrades
Toilet removal for bathroom renovations
Emergency toilet overflow response

Q: My toilet keeps running after flushing. Is this a big deal?

Yes and more costly than most people would imagine. The cost of a running toilet is 200-400 litres of water a day and this translates to a lot of money at the end of the weeks or months on your water bill. It is practically always due to a worn flapper, a defective fill valve, or a float requiring adjustment which can be easily repaired when we attack it at the earliest opportunity. Usually, our Kitchener plumbers can diagnose and repair a running toilet in just one brief visit.

6. Shower Services

Issues with the showers are mildly irritating to highly destructive. That leaking shower that goes unattended may result in water damage hidden within walls and floors, resulting in the development of molds, structural decay and repair costs that are many times larger than the initial plumbing repair. GOGO Plumbers offers full service shower plumbing services to Kitchener homes and businesses to unclogging a slow shower drain through replacement of entire shower valves.

Our Shower Services:

Leaking Shower Repair: A dripping shower when you turn it off, or dripping at the handle or showerhead, is not only wasting water, but can be harming the building around it. We identify the cause of the leak accurately whether it is a worn out cartridge, failed valve seat, worn supply connections, or a damaged shower pan and fix it right.

Replacement of Shower Valves and Faucets Shower: Valves are worn out due to weathering with time resulting in issues in controlling temperature, differences in pressure or leakages that can not be solved by just replacing the cartridge. We also substitute shower valves and shower faucets with quality faucets and we install them properly as per the Ontario plumbing code.

Shower Drain Services: A slow or completely clogged shower drain is one of the most common plumbing calls in Kitchener. Soap scum and mineral deposits of Kitchener hard water mix with hair to form stubborn clogs. We clear shower drains effectively, and we can also solve the problems of slow drains that have reoccurred, by checking and cleaning the drain line more in depth to avoid another blockage.

Services at a glance:

Leaking shower diagnosis and repair
Shower valve replacement
Shower faucet replacement and upgrades
Shower drain cleaning and unclogging
Shower drain replacement
Pressure balancing valve installation
Thermostatic shower valve installation
Shower rough-in plumbing for renovations

Q: My shower drain is slow but not completely blocked. Should I wait or call a plumber?

Don’t wait. A slow draining shower is not a problem which normally solves on its own, but is an early sign of a developing blockage. OTC drain cleaners are only able to temporarily enhance the flow but in most cases do not remove the blockage completely and the harsh chemical cleaners may damage the older pipes when used repeatedly. Our Kitchener plumbers clear the blockage to the maximum and check the drain line to avoid its re-occurrence in the near future.

7. Faucet Install and Repair Services

The dripping of the faucet can be ignored but when a faucet drips 10 times in a minute, a single dripping faucet will be wasting more than 3,000 litres of water annually. Take that and multiply it with a house that has many faucets that are worn and you are looking at a substantial running cost. GOGO Plumbers is the repair and replacement of all faucet in the Kitchener homes both dripping bathroom tap and full installation of the kitchen faucet and repairing outdoor faucet after frost damage.

Our faucet services:

Faucet Repair: Before we can decide to replace, we always consider repair as an option. Repairable problems include worn O-rings, worn-out cartridges, corroded valve seats, loose packing nuts, and so on, all can be fixed, and a faucet can be restored to performance akin to new at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Faucet Replacement and Installation: When repair is un-economical or you are just upgrading your faucets as part of a kitchen or bathroom remodel we will fully replace your faucet. We will take out your old and do any upgrades required to supply lines and install your new faucet to manufacturers specifications and fully test to check leakages.

Kitchen Faucet Installation: Kitchen faucets are the most highly used faucet in your home, daily. Our installations of all kinds of kitchen faucets include pull-down, pull-out, single handle, multi-handle and commercial-style and can include the installation of soap dispensers, connections to water filtration systems or hot water dispensers.

Outdoor Faucet Repair & Replacement: Kitchener winters are hard on outdoor plumbing. The most common spring plumbing calls in the Kitchener neighbourhoods are hose bibs that have not been winterized, frost-free sillcocks that have cracked internally and broken outdoor faucet valve stems. We fix or change outside faucets and can convert typical hose bibs to frost-free versions to avoid the destruction they might cause in winter.

Dripping faucet repair (all types)
Kitchen faucet installation and replacement
Bathroom faucet repair and replacement
Outdoor faucet (hose bib) repair and replacement

Q: Can I just repair my dripping faucet myself, or do I need a plumber?

A simple replacement of a washer in an older style faucet can be done by many homeowners. Nevertheless, cartridge-style, ceramic disc and ball faucets of modern style need particular tools and parts of replacement, and improper disassembly may lead to spillage within the wall instead of spout a far more serious issue. Unless you are sure of what kind of faucet you have and can find the right cartridge, a professional repair is quicker, neater and usually no more costly than a DIY attempt that involves a second visit to the hardware store.

Why Kitchener Homeowners Choose GOGO Plumbers

We Know Kitchener Plumbing

Hard water is a municipal supply of water in the Region of Waterloo, and it impacts all households. Our plumbers will realize these local realities and will come with solutions that fit what Kitchener properties require and not generalized solutions that fit elsewhere.

We offer free quotations on drain and sewer inspections, installations and large scale repairs. In the case of service calls, a diagnostic charge will be charged; it will be deducted to the repair charge. Any work done is first communicated in writing with regard to all the pricing.

Why does my Kitchener home have so much limescale buildup on fixtures?

The water of Kitchener is considered to be hard or very hard and has high content of dissolved calcium and magnesium. This is what forms the white crusty scale on the faucets, showerheads and around the drains. The best permanent solution is installing a water softener system and our plumbers will be able to evaluate your home and suggest the most appropriate system.
