Plumbing Services in Barrie, Simcoe County & the GTA

Plumbing trouble rarely picks a convenient time. A pipe lets go on a cold night, a drain backs up over a long weekend, the hot water quits the morning you have somewhere to be. Relica Comforts is a licensed HVAC and plumbing company, and we answer the phone 24/7 across the GTA up to Barrie and Simcoe County. Below is a plain rundown of what we do and when each one applies — the pages linked along the way go deeper on the specific job.

Everyday plumbing repair covers the bread-and-butter problems: a dripping faucet, a running toilet, a leaking shut-off valve, a slow or clogged drain. Small leaks rarely fix themselves and usually get worse, so it is worth dealing with one early before it works into a wall or a floor. See our plumbing repair page for the kinds of repairs we take on.

Water heaters are their own decision. We install and replace tank, tankless, and hybrid (heat-pump) units, and we repair the one you have when a repair makes sense. One honest note: if a tank is rusting or weeping from the bottom, that is the tank itself going — replace it before it lets go and floods the floor, rather than chasing the leak. We get into tank vs. tankless and the Ontario own-vs-rent question on the water heater installation page. If you only need a fix, the repair page covers that.

Drain cleaning handles the slow sinks and tubs, the floor drain that backs up, and the main line that keeps clogging. When a main line clogs again and again, we can put a camera down it to find the real cause — roots, a sag, a broken section — instead of clearing it blind. More on our drain cleaning page.

Sump pumps keep groundwater out of your basement. If yours is old, noisy, or running constantly, it is worth looking at before storm season. A battery backup matters most for a finished basement — the heavy storms that fill the pit are the same ones that knock out the power, and that combination is what floods low-lying, storm-prone parts of Simcoe County. See sump pumps. We also handle backflow prevention — installing and testing the valve that keeps contaminated water from being drawn back into your clean supply, which some Ontario properties are required to have.

For new fixtures, a water heater changeout, a sump pump, a backflow valve, or a gas line, our plumbing installation page covers the install side. Sizing and routing depend on your home, so we confirm the specifics on site rather than over the phone.

When it is an emergency — a burst pipe, no hot water, a backed-up drain, a sump pump that has failed in a storm — call right away. If you can safely reach your main shut-off valve, closing it buys time and stops most flooding while a plumber is on the way. We keep the trucks stocked with common parts, and we give you a clear price before we start, not after.
