Our Trusted Toronto Main Water Line Replacement Services

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. Toronto homeowners can rely on our qualified plumbers for dependable 24-hour emergency water main service.

We'll start by consulting with you and examining your system carefully so we can determine the cause and location of the issue.

The safety of your household and property is our top priority, so we never cut corners, and we'll make sure our work meets or exceeds the highest industry standards to deliver properly done, long-lasting results.

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.

If you are aware of the indications that trouble is coming down the pipe, you can call your plumber at Mr. Rooter Plumbing to get the issue resolved before it has a serious negative effect on your household. Some of the key warning signs to watch out for are:

How Can I Confirm I Have a Leak in My Main Water Line?

When you have a leak on your water line that is located after your water meter, all the water that is passing the meter is being recorded on your utility bill, but of course, you're not getting the benefit of all the water you're paying for and that can really over-inflate your water bill by a significant amount. Whether it's before or after the water meter, it's a major problem that needs to be corrected, but it can be difficult to tell for sure if there's a leak in a buried line. There are, however, a few simple troubleshooting steps you can carry out to see if you have a probable leak and even determine approximately where it's located.

The first step is to make sure all the faucets in your house are off, toilets and water-using appliances are not running, and no water is being used at all, then go take a look at your water meter. If the indicator on an analog meter has moved or is actively moving, or a digital meter is flashing a number other than zero, you do have a leak that should be investigated by a plumber and will likely need to be addressed with a main water line replacement in Toronto.

Next, you can do a little more troubleshooting to determine the location of the leak, approximately. Turn the water shutoff valve for your entire house to the off position to stop the supply of water from the municipal water supply and take another look at your water meter. If it has stopped indicating that there's a leak, that means the leak is somewhere on the line after the point of the water shutoff valve. But if a leak is still being indicated, the issue is somewhere on the line between your shutoff valve and your water meter. The last step is to call our trustworthy plumbers for assessment, diagnosis and Toronto main water line replacement.

How Long Do Pipes Last Before Needing Main Water Line Replacement in Toronto?

The answer can depend somewhat on the material you've got installed. Brass pipes and galvanized steel pipes will typically last between 80 and 100 years, while copper pipes can go 70 to 80 years before a main water line replacement in Toronto is necessary. Keep in mind that external factors such as tree root intrusion and seismic activity could cause damage that requires replacement much sooner.
