Leaside Plumbing and Heating

What Leaside Plumbing and Heating does

Leaside Plumbing and Heating is a privately held, family-owned trade services company founded in 1985 and headquartered at 205 Wicksteed Ave, Unit #20, Toronto, Ontario. The company delivers plumbing, drain, heating, natural gas, and waterproofing services to residential homeowners and a secondary small-business segment across the Greater Toronto Area, operating under Metro License #PH20220 and TSSA certification for gas work. A small core team—owner Tom Spanton, partner Jonathan Miljure, apprentice Matthew Spanton, and additional field technicians—handles both scheduled work and a 24/7/365 emergency response layer covering burst pipes, frozen pipes, no-heat events, gas leaks, and basement flooding.

The company's service portfolio spans five interconnected categories: plumbing repair and appliance installation, drain cleaning and trenchless repair, hydronic heating and boiler maintenance, TSSA-certified natural gas fitting and red-tag clearance, and basement waterproofing with infrared inspection. Technical capability rests on standard industry equipment rather than proprietary systems: drain video cameras, hydro jetting at up to 3000 PSI, pipe-thawing machines, no-dig trenchless repair, and gas-leak detection gear. The business sells and installs third-party products (MOEN Smart Water, plus fixtures and boilers from brands including Moen, Kohler, Viessmann, Weil-McLain, and Navien) but does not develop its own hardware or software.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services, quote-based model: site visits or phone assessment precede a written estimate, with billing on a pay-as-you-go basis and a one-year workmanship and materials warranty. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via two regional phone lines, a website lead form, and email; lead generation is driven by Google My Business (500+ reviews at 4.9 stars), Yelp, HomeStars, Facebook, Twitter, and an educational blog. There is no enterprise sales motion, no subscription or recurring-contract revenue, and no disclosed financial metrics.
