Plumbtech Plumbing has the expertise and experience to diagnose, solve, and fix your plumbing as well as renovate, plan, and install new plumbing for residences, and businesses, commercial and industrial.
The Barrie-based business serves Simcoe County, Muskoka, and Parry Sound areas. Plumbtech’s qualified plumbers and office staff live in the communities they serve. They know the idiosyncrasies of each area and work with local authorities to make the whole process easier and less stressful.
Every area is different. There are codes and bylaws for each municipality which can be confusing to navigate.
Backflow is just one example where Plumbtech helps to facilitate and expedite the process. They work directly with their contacts at the City of Barrie and their customers.
All underground water main and sewer work requires locates before work can begin. Locates are also required before any digging can start. The city and/or the province provide a locate service to pinpoint underground utilities such as the outdoor shutoff valve, water lines, and sewer pipes.
In Barrie, the city installs the indoor main shutoff valve and water meter at cost for residents.
Plumbing work often overlaps with other trades, particularly when it occurs underground or for a new build. Plumbtech has contacts with related trades including excavation companies as well as suppliers. Plumbers work with a variety of qualified subcontractors such as painters, drywallers, carpenters, tile setters, electricians, custom-glass shower door installers, heating contractors, and more.
Plumbtech works with nine different plumbing suppliers so that materials and fixtures are readily available. The local company often receives calls from customers who are looking for recommendations and contact information for businesses beyond plumbing.
Locally owned and operated, Plumbtech has been serving the needs of Barrie homeowners and businesses for more than 35 years. Owner Marc Benoit started as an apprentice plumber in Parry Sound for five years, acquired his licence, and moved to Toronto where he started Plumbtech Plumbing in 1986. Three years later, he moved Plumbtech to Barrie.
From the very beginning, his mandate has been a “fair price for a job well done”. Along the way, he’s built a reputation for quality workmanship and reliable service. Plumbtech has grown steadily through word of mouth.
Training and certifications of all staff are ongoing. All are fully trained and up-to-date in health and safety. Specialization, such as backflow installation and testing requires additional training and certifications.
Plumbtech is known for personalized service. If you call, there is a real live person on the other end of the line. Even in an emergency after hours a real person answers the phone. Plumbtech maintains a 24-hour emergency service, seven days a week, including holidays.
It’s also important for Plumbtech to give back to the community where they live and work. As a result, they sponsor a wide variety of local organizations from youth sports teams to the Barrie Film Festival, Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka, Hospice Simcoe, and much more.
Plumbtech offers a wide variety of services ranging from cottage plumbing to homes and condos, commercial businesses (retail, restaurants, apartment/condominium buildings), existing and new builds, rural and municipal as well as custom homes.
