Your water pipes are built to last, and they typically keep doing their job without much intervention for many decades. But as durable and long-lived as they are, they're not completely invulnerable to damage caused by tree root intrusion, heavy construction or landscaping, mineral buildup from hard water and slow deterioration over time. The most common result of those damaging factors is cracks or pinhole leaks that can cause big problems if they're left unattended for a long time and can even compromise the quality and safety of your water supply. Since you need to ingest the water directly or through the cooking process, it's really important to address damage as soon as possible with experienced main water line replacement.

Evaluating the Problem
Our experienced plumbers will start by inspecting your water line carefully so we can determine what is wrong and where exactly the problem is located on your water main. This is often done with a non-invasive technique called video camera inspection, in which we pass a small video camera through the line and then review the footage to get a look at what's going on inside the pipe that is requiring main water line replacement in Toronto. We may also complete some other testing methods, such as turning off the water shutoff valves to see how your water meter reacts so we can isolate the probable location of the leak.
Trenchless Main Water Line Replacement in Toronto
When it's time for a main water line replacement, Toronto property owners sometimes worry that their property is going to be ripped up when a huge trench is excavated to reach the buried water lines. There are some cases where it's necessary to dig a trench for a Toronto main water line replacement, but in most situations, we're able to offer trenchless water line services. Our no-dig installation method for putting in new water lines is much faster and less destructive than traditional dig-and-replace methods. The Pipe Pull technique involves digging two small holes at either end of the line being replaced. We then use hydraulic pressure to break the damaged line apart and thread a new pipe into the gap left behind by the old one. This is a safe method of main water line replacement in Toronto, and the results are very effective and long-lasting, so there's no compromise in the quality of the replacement. It also eliminates the need to dig a trench, which means it's faster than traditional methods, and there's no damage to the landscaping and hardscaping on your property.
