Working in North York
Lead water pipes
The City says a house built before the mid-1950s may have a lead water service pipe. The part from the property line into the house is the owner’s; if you commit to replacing it, the City’s Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program replaces its side on a priority basis. A grey pipe at the meter that scratches easily may be lead.

Toronto’s Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy pays 80% of the invoice up to $1,600 per backwater valve (two at most), $2,250 for a sump pump, $300 for a battery backup, $400 to sever and cap the foundation drain and $500 for a plumbing assessment — up to $6,650 per house. Downspouts must be disconnected, the contractor needs a City business licence, and you apply within two years.

Toronto Building needs a permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground, for basement work that changes the structure, adds plumbing or creates a unit, for new or modified heating and plumbing, and for a backwater valve. Replacing a furnace or boiler in a house, or repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, needs none. North York’s Toronto Building district office is at the North York Civic Centre, 5100 Yonge St., by appointment.

Toronto’s water comes from Lake Ontario and averaged 119 mg/L of hardness in the City’s 2025 analysis; the City says softening systems are usually not needed. Kettles and shower glass still scale over time.

Requirements
What you’ll need
Customers let Doyo pros into their homes. These checks are why they do.
- 18 or older, legally able to work in Canada
- Government photo ID and a matching selfie
- A clear police record check
- A smartphone with the Doyo Pro app
- Your own tools, and transport to jobs
- Certificate of Qualification — Plumber (306A)
Licensed trade
Yes. Plumbing is a compulsory trade in Ontario, so Doyo checks your Certificate of Qualification (306A) before you are offered plumbing work, and again when it is due to renew.
Some trades also ask for proof of liability insurance; the application tells you if yours does. Doyo reviews your documents — usually within a couple of business days.
Payouts
How payouts work
For jobs the customer pays by card through Doyo, your earnings reach your Doyo balance when the job is completed, and payouts are sent weekly by e-transfer. Tips are yours in full. On quote jobs, the deposit and balance are held until the customer confirms the work, and a warranty holdback is released after the warranty period.
