When ice hut season ends and the cottages around the canal network start filling back up for the warm months, supply lines that sat quiet all winter are usually the first to let go. If one splits on a Saturday night, call. We're up.
On call right now
1–2 hrs
Most Ramara calls, we're at the door within an hour or two, day or night, out of Orillia. No extra charge for nights, weekends or holidays.
Quick check
Not sure what's wrong? Start here
Tap what you're seeing. We'll tell you what it usually means and the one thing to do right now, before we get there.
Sounds like a leak or a burst line.
Right now Shut off your main water valve to stop the flow, then open a low tap to drain the pressure.
Canal-front homes in Lagoon City sometimes route supply lines around the water side of the house, so we work out the actual layout before opening anything up. In Ramara we're usually at the door within an hour or two, day or night.
That points to the water heater.
Right now On an electric tank, check the breaker; on gas, check the pilot. If nothing changes, leave it and call.
Tanks in cottages and lake homes take a beating from being switched on and off with the seasons, and they wear out faster than a year-round house's unit. We tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the better call.
Likely a clog, or a line that's been sitting idle.
Right now Stop running water into it and skip the store-bought drain chemicals, they can burn whoever opens the pipe next.
Seasonal cottages that sit quiet part of the year often develop slow drains once they're back in regular use. We clear the line properly, not just the surface, so it holds through the season.
A running or overflowing toilet is usually a quick fix.
Right now Turn the shut-off valve at the base of the toilet clockwise to stop the water.
Most of the time it's the fill valve, flapper or a partial blockage. We repair it, or swap the toilet if that's the smarter call, and tell you the price first.
Water in the basement usually comes back to the sump pump.
Right now If it's actively flooding, keep clear of any powered outlets down there and call.
Homes close to the water table around the lake, especially near the canal network and the shoreline, lean on a working pump more than most. We service or replace the pump before the next spring runoff.
Not sure which one it is? That's fine.
Right now Tell us what you're seeing or hearing and we'll talk it through.
Inland toward Atherley and Udney a lot of properties run on private wells and septic rather than municipal service, so tell us what's going on and we'll point you the right way, well, septic, or straightforward plumbing.

Quick Answers
Do you serve Ramara?
Yes, we cover all of Ramara, from the canal-front homes in Lagoon City to Brechin, Atherley, Udney, Longford Mills and the concession roads further inland.
How quickly can you reach Brechin or Lagoon City?
We're out of Orillia often, so most Ramara calls get a plumber on site within an hour or two, any time of day or night.
Do nights or weekends cost more?
No, whatever we quote for a Ramara call is the number on the invoice, whether you phoned on a weekday afternoon or a holiday weekend at midnight.
Our home in Lagoon City backs onto a canal and the plumbing layout is unusual. Can you still work on it?
Yes, regularly, because canal-front homes in Lagoon City often carry extra fixtures, longer runs and lines routed around the water side of the house, and we work out how a property is plumbed before tracing a leak.
Before We Get There
- Find the main shut-off. On canal-front properties in Lagoon City it isn't always where you'd expect, sometimes near a boathouse or a rear addition rather than the front of the house.
- Shut it off. Turn the valve fully until it stops.
- Open a low tap, like a basement laundry tub or a ground-floor sink, to drain the line and take the pressure off.
- Don't pour drain chemicals into a blocked line. It just sits there and burns whoever opens it up next, including us.

03 · Homes & Business
Residential
Most of our Ramara calls come from the shoreline communities, canal-front homes in Lagoon City, cottages along the east shore near Brechin, and year-round houses on the inland concession roads around Atherley and Udney. Whatever the property, and whatever era its plumbing dates from, from a single fixture repair to a full pipe replacement, the price is confirmed before we touch anything.
Commercial
We also work with marinas, seasonal rental operators and small businesses around the Lagoon City canal network, plus property managers looking after cottage rentals that need service scheduled around guest turnovers. Drain calls, sump pump work and spring startups or fall shutdowns, timed so nobody's booking gets disrupted. The businesses around Casino Rama add a level of commercial work most townships this size don't see, and we take it on the same way we take a single cottage call: quote the price first, stand behind the work.

04 · Field Notes
What We Actually See in Ramara Homes
Ramara stretches along a good part of Lake Simcoe's shoreline, and Lagoon City is the clearest example of how different the plumbing can look out here.
Lagoon City's canal network
Homes built around the canal network in Lagoon City sometimes carry supply and drain runs that were added or extended over the years to fit a boathouse, a dock-side bathroom, or an addition facing the water, layouts you won't find in a typical subdivision. Most of the canal-front streets went in during Lagoon City's original development starting in the late 1960s, so a good share of that plumbing is now well past its fiftieth year. We take the time to understand how a specific property is actually plumbed before we start tracing a leak or planning a repair.
Brechin, the east shore, and the spring freeze surprise
Toward Brechin and the east shore, a lot of the calls we get in early spring trace back to a cottage that sat cold through the coldest stretch of winter. A supply line splits quietly behind a wall or under a floor, and it's only once the water gets turned back on that anyone finds out. Getting the shutdown done properly each fall goes a long way toward avoiding that particular headache.
Atherley, Udney and the well-and-septic concession roads
Inland toward Atherley and Udney, the housing thins out and a lot of properties sit on private wells and septic systems rather than municipal service. A pressure or drainage complaint out that way is just as likely to trace back to the well or the septic bed as anything inside the house, and we'll tell you plainly which one it is before recommending a fix. Older farmhouses on those same roads sometimes still carry the original supply lines from decades back, mixed in with whatever upgrades were made along the way, so we check the whole run rather than assuming the newest section is the only one that matters.
Living by the lake, on and off with the seasons
Lake Simcoe itself shapes how these communities live, ice hut season on the bay through the winter, boats and docks through the summer, and a population that swells noticeably once the warm weather hits. Plumbing that sits idle for months at a stretch and then gets switched hard into daily use again is a pattern we plan around, not something we're caught off guard by. A tank rated for a normal fifteen-year life often gets closer to eight to ten years of real service out here once you factor in that seasonal on-off cycle.
Casino Rama and the commercial side
Casino Rama sits inside the township and brings a steady stream of staff, guests and event traffic that most rural townships this size don't see. The commercial plumbing around it, kitchens, guest facilities, staff areas, runs at a volume closer to a small city than a lakeside community, and it needs service that can move fast when something goes down during business hours.
Highway 12 and the mixed housing stock
Highway 12 runs along the shoreline and ties Ramara's communities together on the way up to Orillia, and it's the route we're on constantly moving between calls in Brechin, Lagoon City and the roads further along the lake. The housing stock on the water is as mixed as anywhere we work: older cottages that were never meant for winter use sit beside newer builds with proper insulation, in-floor heating and a full basement, sometimes on the same street. Before we quote a repair, we want to know which one we're dealing with, because the fix that works for a converted four-season home isn't always the right call for a cottage that still shuts down for the winter.
We work out of Orillia regularly, so getting out to Ramara's shoreline roads isn't an extra trip for us, it's part of our normal coverage.

Ramara Plumbing Questions
The questions we hear most from Ramara homeowners, answered straight.
Do we find out the price before the work starts?
Always. We look the job over first, tell you what it costs, and only proceed once you've said go ahead.
Our cottage on the east shore of Lake Simcoe froze up last winter. What should we do differently this year?
Get us out before you close it up for the season. East shore cottages left without heat through a hard freeze commonly come back with a split supply line, and it's usually cheaper and less stressful to have it shut down properly in the fall than to deal with pipe repair and a flooded floor come spring.
Is Ramara mostly cottages, or are there year-round homes too?
Both, and more of the shoreline has converted to year-round living over the years than people expect. A cottage-era layout that was never built for winter use is often the reason a line freezes the first hard cold snap after someone moves in full time, and we adjust the fix to suit year-round living.
Do you also cover Orillia and Severn?
Yes, all the time. Ramara sits right between both, and we're through the area regularly. Call +1 (647) 554-5777 and we'll confirm coverage for your road.
