Leak Helper — Triage & Action Plan
Answer a few quick questions. You’ll get what to do now, the likely fix, whether a camera/PRV matters, and a realistic visit snapshot. Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Binbrook, Grimsby, Burlington and Caledonia.
Optional quick meter check (no tools)
Turn off all taps/appliances. Look at the small indicator on your water meter—if it moves, water is flowing somewhere (pressurized leak). If it stays still but water shows only while bathing or draining, it’s likely a drain/caulking issue.
Insurance photo checklist (optional)
- Close-up of the source area
- Wide shot showing the whole room/wall
- Any damaged finishes/floors
- Shut-off valve position (if accessible)

FAQs: Leak Triage & Water Pressure
The Hamilton Leak Triage & Water Pressure Checker is an online tool from Greg’s Plumbing & Heating that asks a few quick questions about leaks, water stains, damp smells and pressure changes in your taps or showers. Based on your answers, it gives you a simple risk level, safety tips and whether you should call a plumber now, book an inspection soon or keep monitoring.
You should treat it as an emergency if water is actively pouring, spraying or flowing through the ceiling, if you see a bulging or sagging drywall section, if a pipe has burst in winter, or if water is near electrical outlets or your panel. The tool will flag these situations as urgent, but you do not need to wait for the tool to finish. Shut off your main water valve if you can access it safely and call our 24/7 Hamilton emergency plumbers at 905 928 6831 right away.
