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!

FAQs For Electrical Rough-In

What is electrical rough-in work?

Electrical rough-in refers to the phase of construction where wiring, outlet boxes, and conduits are installed before walls are insulated and drywalled. It lays the foundation for all future electrical connections in a home or commercial space.

Do I need rough-in work for a renovation?

Yes, if your renovation involves moving walls, adding rooms, or updating your electrical system, rough-in work is essential. It ensures that all wiring is properly routed and code-compliant before the finishes go up.

How long does rough-in take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A small home addition may take a day or two, while full-home or commercial rough-ins may require several days to a week. We provide accurate estimates after a site visit.

Do you coordinate with other contractors?

Absolutely. We work directly with general contractors, framers, plumbers, and inspectors to ensure smooth scheduling and minimal disruption on-site.

What happens after the rough-in phase?

Once rough-in work is complete, it will be inspected by the city or municipality. After passing inspection, the project can move on to insulation, drywall, and final electrical finishing (like switches, fixtures, and panel testing).

Can you include wiring for future upgrades (like EV chargers or smart devices)?

Yes. We often install conduit and wiring for future use, including EV chargers, heat pumps, home automation systems, or future room conversions. It’s easier and more cost-effective to plan for these during the rough-in phase.
