How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic winter prep work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Barrie
Standard bookings inside Barrie: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
