Working in North Harbor

North Harbor runs along the water from the old cannery to the lighthouse. It mixes condo towers on Harbor Point, lofts in the Ropewalk warehouses, older houses on Lighthouse Hill and Bayview Terrace, and a row of shops and cafés along Pier Row. Each needs a different kind of visit, and our vans carry parts for all of them.

In the towers and lofts, most calls are leaks between floors, running toilets, and water heaters squeezed into small closets. The plumber signs in at the desk, uses the service lift, and agrees any shut-off with building management so the neighbours are not caught out.

The older houses are where the old pipework is. Many still have galvanized supply pipes narrowed by rust, and a few have a lead service line from the street. Weak pressure upstairs is usually the first sign. We check the line at the meter, explain what we find, and can quote replacement in sections if that suits your budget.

Saltmarsh Flats sits lowest. After heavy rain and spring tides, basements there depend on their sump pumps, and sewers can back up into floor drains. If you live on that side, test your pump before autumn, or book us to do it with the yearly water heater check.

Reviews from North Harbor

  • Rated 5.0 out of 5

    We run a busy kitchen and the floor drains used to back up every few weeks. They filmed the grease line, jetted it before we opened, and now come back every quarter. No blockages since, and the report goes straight into our health inspection file.

    The tank was rumbling and the relief valve dripped. He flushed out a bucket of sediment, replaced the valve, and showed me how to do the yearly flush myself.

    Shower drain slow for months. Twenty minutes with a cable and a fistful of hair later it drains properly. He fitted a hair catcher and did not try to sell me anything else.

Can you fix a leak in my condo while I'm at work?

Yes. Leave a key with the concierge or a lockbox code in the booking notes. The plumber signs in at the desk and sends you photos of the repair.

My basement floods after storms. What helps?

Usually a working sump pump with a battery backup, and a backwater valve on the sewer line. We inspect both and quote before any work.

Do you work for the shops and cafés on Pier Row?

Yes. Non-urgent work is booked before opening, so the water is back on by the time you open the doors.
