Membership

Two plans that take labour off your plumbing bill

Repairs and replacements without a labour charge. You pay for the parts — we don't bill you for the work, the visit, or the time it takes.

6-month minimum term, then month to month.

Labour included on every repair and replacement. 6-month minimum term, then month to month.

The important part

What "labour included" actually means

Plain boundaries, so there's nothing to argue about when we're standing in your basement.

Included — we don't charge for the work

  • Repairs to anything already installed above ground — a leaking pipe inside the house, a running toilet, a seized valve, a water heater that's stopped working
  • Like-for-like replacement of a failed component — water heater (owned, not rented), toilet, tap, sump pump, shut-off valve, a section of above-ground pipe
  • The diagnostic visit itself, at no call-out charge

Billed at standard rates

  • Parts, materials and fixtures — always billed separately, on both plans
  • Any buried pipe that has to be dug up — sewer lines and water service lines alike, repair or replacement. If it needs excavation, it's quoted separately on both plans.
  • Whole-home repiping or full-system replacement
  • Root removal, and any repair or replacement needed when a drain won't clear — the included clearing covers a standard blockage, not what's behind a recurring one
  • Rented water heaters — servicing and replacing one is the rental provider's job, not ours
  • Renovations, new builds and new installations — though Premium takes 20% off the labour

The rule in one sentence: if it's above ground and we're fixing or replacing something that failed, the labour is included. If the pipe has to be dug up — water line or sewer line, repair or replacement — we quote it separately.

The maths

Where the membership pays for itself

Labour is the biggest line on almost every plumbing invoice. Membership removes that line.

The labour line disappears

On a typical repair or replacement, our time is the largest part of what you'd pay. Members don't see that charge at all — the invoice is parts, and nothing else. A couple of jobs in a year and Essentials has covered itself.

Nothing to pay at the door

Service calls are $0 on both plans, so there's no reason to put off a small problem. Emergencies drop to $50 on Essentials — a third of the standard $150 — and are free outright on Premium.

Premium on a bigger home

Premium adds a whole-home inspection, seasonal winterization, a 5-year workmanship warranty and 20% off renovation labour. On a larger property — or one with a renovation coming — the reno discount alone can outrun a year of the difference.

The terms, in plain language

  • Every membership starts with a free enrolment inspection. Before the included-labour benefit applies we walk the plumbing and write down anything already leaking, blocked, seized or failing. Those items are listed on your membership record and excluded — they're quoted at standard rates like any other job. Everything that fails after that is covered.
  • Labour is included on repairs and like-for-like replacement of components that have failed. Parts, materials and fixtures are never included and are billed separately.
  • Any work requiring excavation is quoted at standard rates — this covers both sewer lines and underground water service lines, and applies whether the job is a repair or a full replacement. Whole-home repiping, full-system replacement, renovations and new installations are also quoted at standard rates. Premium takes 20% off renovation and upgrade labour.
  • Rented water heaters are excluded. The included annual flush and any replacement apply to units you own. A rented tank belongs to the rental provider, who is responsible for servicing and replacing it. We can still repair and service around one, and help you through a buyout if you decide to own outright.
  • Both plans carry a 6-month minimum term. After six months the membership continues month to month, cancellable by phone or email effective at the end of the current billing month, with no cancellation fee.
  • Switching between plans doesn't restart the 6-month term.
  • Included visits — the water heater flush on a tank you own, one drain cleaning, and on Premium the inspection and seasonal winterization — reset each membership year and don't roll over.
  • The included drain cleaning covers one standard clearing a year. It does not cover root removal, and it does not cover repairing or replacing the pipe if the drain won't clear. Where a camera shows roots or a structural fault, that work is quoted separately on both plans.
  • The Premium 5-year workmanship warranty runs from the date of each job and applies while the membership stays active. It ends when the membership is cancelled.
Membership questions

What people ask before joining

What does "labour included" actually cover?

Our time and work on repairs, and on like-for-like replacement of something that's failed — a water heater, a toilet, a tap, a sump pump, a shut-off valve, a section of above-ground pipe. You pay for the parts; we don't bill you for the work or the visit. Anything that has to be dug up is quoted separately — sewer lines and underground water service lines alike, whether we're repairing or replacing them. Whole-home repiping, full-system replacement and renovation work are quoted separately too, and a rented water heater is excluded, since the flush and any replacement apply only to tanks you own.

Are parts included too?

No. Parts, materials and fixtures are billed separately on both plans — that's the one thing the membership never covers. The labour to fit them is what's included.

What's the difference between the two plans?

Both include repair and replacement labour, $0 service calls, VIP scheduling and an annual water heater flush on a tank you own. Premium adds a free emergency call-out instead of the $50 Essentials fee, a whole-home inspection each year, seasonal winterization, 20% off renovation labour, and a 5-year workmanship warranty in place of one year.

Do I need an inspection before joining?

Yes, and it's free. Before the labour benefit starts we walk your plumbing and note anything already leaking, blocked, seized or on its way out. Those items go on your membership record and are quoted at standard rates — the membership covers what fails after you join, not what was already broken when you signed up. It takes about an hour and we book it when you sign up.

How long am I committed for?

Both plans carry a 6-month minimum term. After six months the membership continues month to month. You can cancel by phone or email and it takes effect at the end of your current billing month. There's no cancellation fee.

Can I move from Essentials to Premium?

Yes, in either direction. Switching plans doesn't restart the 6-month term — the time you've already served carries across.

Do the included visits roll over if I don't use them?

No. The water heater flush, the drain cleaning, and on Premium the annual inspection and seasonal winterization, reset at the start of each membership year and don't carry forward.

Does the warranty continue if I cancel?

No. The Premium warranty covers our workmanship for 5 years from the date of each job, and only while the membership stays active — it ends if the membership is cancelled. Essentials carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Parts and fixtures carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we point you to on the invoice.
