Barrie sits in the snowbelt, and winter is when its plumbing gets tested. Lake-effect snow, long cold snaps and wind across Kempenfelt Bay find pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces, and outdoor taps left with a hose attached. A split pipe usually announces itself when it thaws.

The housing splits two ways. Older homes near downtown, Allandale and the east end have plumbing that has been updated piecemeal over decades. The big subdivisions to the south and west, mostly built from the 1990s onward, are reaching the age where the first water heater, the original sump pump and builder-grade fixtures all come due.

Barrie's municipal water comes from a combination of groundwater wells and Lake Simcoe. Tell us what is going on and roughly when the house was built, and your request goes to one plumber who covers Barrie.

York Simcoe Plumbing is a free referral service: your request goes to one independent local plumber serving Barrie, and they quote and do the work.

Barrie Questions, Answered

Keep the heat on, and open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls during a cold snap. Disconnect hoses and shut off outdoor taps from inside, and insulate pipes in garages and crawl spaces. A pipe that freezes every winter may need rerouting or better insulation — a plumber can look at it.

We are not certain of a current program. Ask the City of Barrie whether any basement flooding or backwater valve program is running before you book, and whether you need to apply first.
