Rental Property Plumbing in Kingston, ON

Turnover checks

Between tenants, check every tap, toilet and drain, look under sinks for slow leaks, test the main shut-off and note the water heater's age. Our landlord checklist lists it all.

Student houses

Five or six people sharing one bathroom and one water heater means more clogs and cold showers. Drain screens, a clearly labelled shut-off and a properly sized water heater cut down on emergencies.

Converted houses

Older houses split into apartments often have plumbing added in stages, with long shared drains and a single shut-off. Knowing which valve controls which unit saves time when something breaks.

Winter vacancies

Empty units over the winter break are at the highest risk of frozen pipes. Keep the heat on, check the property regularly and consider shutting off and draining unused units.

Responding quickly

Ontario landlords are responsible for keeping rental units in good repair. A plumber you can reach quickly makes that easier for everyone.

Upgrades that pay off

Water-saving toilets and shower heads, shut-off valves at every fixture and leak sensors near water heaters and washers reduce both bills and damage.

Leak sensors

Small battery leak sensors under water heaters, washers and sinks alert you or the tenant by phone. In a building where a leak can reach a unit below, they quickly pay for themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Should tenants know where the shut-off is?

Yes. Show them at move-in and label it. It can save a ceiling.

Can a plumber deal directly with my tenants?

Many will, if you authorize it. Give them your approval limit and how to reach you.
