No Water

Symptoms: No water from any fixtures, low water pressure throughout the house.

Symptoms: Constant running toilet, dripping faucets, water pooling around fixtures.

What to do right now: For toilets, try jiggling the handle or adjusting the flapper. For faucets, turn off the water supply to that fixture.

Why Peterborough Homeowners Need a Reliable Local Plumber

Peterborough is located in the Kawartha Lakes of Ontario, an area with unique plumbing challenges. The clay and limestone bedrock can shift during seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, putting stress on underground water and sewer lines. With harsh winters with temperatures dropping below -20°C, frozen pipes are a recurring concern from November through March. Having a local plumber who understands these conditions — and who can respond quickly — is essential for protecting your home and property.

As a Kawartha Lakes-based plumbing company, Gravity Plumbing & Heating has deep experience with Peterborough's housing stock, from century-old homes with galvanized pipes to modern builds with PEX plumbing. Whether you're near Peterborough Lift Lock, Trent University, or anywhere else in Peterborough, our team knows the area and can reach you faster than out-of-town competitors.

Seasonal Plumbing Tips for Peterborough Homeowners

  • Fall: Disconnect outdoor hoses, insulate exposed pipes, and have your water heater inspected before winter demand increases.
  • Winter: Keep your thermostat at 15°C minimum, open cabinet doors on exterior walls, and know where your main shut-off valve is located.
  • Spring: Check your sump pump operation before thaw, inspect visible pipes for freeze damage, and clear debris from floor drains.
  • Summer: Watch for slow drains (tree roots grow aggressively), check outdoor spigots for leaks, and consider a camera inspection of your sewer line.
