Great experience with Rupinder, fast and effective work ethic. He was able to repair my water leak in time before it caused excessive damage. Cannot recommend him enough. He's the best!

I recently had Rupinder from Leak Busters Plumbing complete a full bathroom overhaul, and I couldn’t be more impressed. His team handled everything — demo, plumbing, tiling, and all the finishing work — with exceptional attention to detail. They even worked late to ensure the entire project was finished in just 7 days. The crew was professional, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves every day. The final result is stunning. Highly recommend Rupinder and his team for any renovation or plumbing work!

I had a great experience with this plumbing company. We had a plumbing issue at our restaurant that could have forced us to close for the day—or longer. They responded quickly, arrived on time, and were professional and friendly throughout the whole process. The plumber clearly explained the issue and fixed it efficiently. I really appreciated their honesty and how clean they left the work area. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again or recommend them to others.

It was a Saturday afternoon, and no local plumbers were available. We called Leak Busters, and they made it to the North Shore in 35 minutes and fixed our serious leak. I would definitely use them again.

We had a small drill hole in a pipe that we needed fixed immediately. Rupinder was at our door within half an hour. He let me know exactly what was going to cost beforehand, and it cost that much. It was repaired quickly and he explained to us everything that was done. The whole experience was awesome and he totally saved us.

Rupinder and his colleague provided outstanding professional plumbing service. They responded to my inquiry immediately, even at 11 PM, and scheduled a visit for 8:30 AM the next day. They arrived on time, replaced my under-sink pipe, fixed the clog efficiently, and even cleaned up by taking the garbage with them. Exceptional professionalism and quick service, and fair price ( since urgent, I asked for availability and quote from different service providers)—highly recommended.

Rupinder and his team at Leak Busters did a fantastic job setting up a new drain tile system for my home. My previous setup was causing flooding issues in the lower level, and they came through just in time during the heavy rain season. The team worked quickly and effectively to complete this project, whilst cleaning up after themselves and even laying fresh grass. I highly recommend Leak Busters for any plumbing needs.

I’ve had 4 plumbers cancel on me and no show. I found Leak Busters online and called them. Not only did they show up on time, but they did an amazing job. The staff were polite and respectful, price was fair, my pipes don’t leak anymore and I can finally sleep in peace. No complaints at all! Would recommend 10/10.

Leak Busters did an outstanding job! I had a clogged drain pipe in my kitchen that caused water to back up into the sink and dishwasher. I contacted Leak Busters on a Sunday at noon, and Rupinder arrived by 3 PM the same day! He resolved the issue quickly and effectively at a reasonable price. Rupinder not only fixed the problem but also cleaned up after himself, providing exceptional customer service. I am very pleased with the work and highly recommend Leak Busters for your plumbing needs!

Hot Water Tank Difference

Understanding Hot Water Tank Types

Gas Water Heaters

These tanks use natural gas or propane to heat water. They are generally more energy-efficient than electric models but require proper venting.

Electric Water Heaters

These tanks use electricity to heat water. They are a popular choice for homes without access to natural gas or propane.

Tankless Water Heaters

Also known as on-demand water heaters, these systems heat water instantly as needed, eliminating the need for a storage tank. They are ideal for homes with limited space or high demand for hot water.

Factors to Consider

Choosing the Right Hot Water Tank

Selecting the right hot water tank for your home depends on several key factors:

Tank Size & Capacity: Your household’s hot water usage, number of occupants, shower habits, and appliance use, will determine the ideal tank size.
Energy Efficiency: Opt for models with a high energy factor (EF) to lower your energy bills and reduce your environmental footprint.
Tank Type: We install a variety of systems, including gas, electric, and tankless units, tailored to your home’s setup and needs.
Warranty Coverage: A longer manufacturer’s warranty often signals better build quality and long-term reliability.
Maintenance Needs: Some systems are more hands-off than others. We’ll help you choose a model that fits your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
