Plumbing that won’t drain your wallet Rob Dunn came from a plumbing family. “My father was a plumber/pipe-fitter in Toronto for many years. He worked hard for his customers and taught me the value of hard work ethics. I’ve always liked plumbing,” he explains. “The work presents exciting and unique challenges. From getting to meet all the players and coaches when I helped with a large renovation at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1990, to helping Londoners with their plumbing needs, I never get bored. Also, it’s amazing what you find in a clogged drain. Not long ago, I cleared a kitchen drain and pulled out a set of six butter knives!” Rob obtained his plumbing license more than 30 years ago. “I’ve been servicing the Wortley community for more than five years now,” says Rob who is a member of the Old South Community Organization and Old South Business Association and a regular supporter of local shops. “My business services residential, commercial and multi-family units.”

Rob Dunn (right) with his plumbing helper, Grace Willison. Rob is a huge advocate for getting women involved in the trades. common causes of dripping faucets are worn washers or worn cartridges, which are an easy fix,” he says. “No job is too small, so give us a call!” “I remind people what NOT to put down their drains. F.O.G. – Fat, Oil, Grease – is a common no-no. There are also a number of paper products that shouldn’t be flushed, even if the packaging says you can. The mature trees in Old South mean that homeowners should schedule a regular drain-snaking. Drain snaking, or drain augering, is used to clear clogs and obstructions like tree roots.” In addition to repairs and routine maintenance, Rob is aligned with a few contractors for when a customer inquires about a renovation. “I focus on the plumbing aspects of the work and I also work with the customer to help them choose the right faucets, tubs, etc. for the space they have.” Rob enjoys the strong sense of community in Old South. “The people are friendly and welcoming and there are always local events and activities. I also appreciate the number of small businesses such as the quaint shops and cafes, and pubs with outdoor patios.” Learn more at dundee-services.ca and by following Dundee Services on Facebook.

The most common service calls are for leaks and clogs. “A pinhole leak or broken pipe can start unexpectedly and is often hard to locate. It can also cause a lot of damage if it isn’t repaired quickly,” says Rob, who generously shares tips and advice on his website and Facebook page. His number one tip for conserving energy is to fix leaks as soon as possible. “A slow leak of ten drips per minute will waste almost 5.5 litres of water. In a month, this adds up to 163.5 litres!
