Repiping in a city full of older homes
Toronto has one of the largest stocks of pre-1960s housing in the country, and a lot of it still has its original galvanized steel or early copper supply lines. These materials were built to last decades, not forever, and after enough winters of freeze-thaw stress, corrosion and mineral buildup, homeowners start to notice: low water pressure, discoloured water, or leaks that keep appearing in different spots along the same run of pipe.
Galvanized pipe reaching the end of its life
Common in homes built before the 1960s across neighbourhoods like Leslieville and the Junction, galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing the pipe and reducing pressure long before it visibly fails.
Recurring leaks in the same area
If we've patched the same stretch of pipe more than once, that's usually a sign the whole run is due, not just the section that failed.
Renovation is the ideal time
If you're already opening up walls or floors for a kitchen or bathroom renovation, that's often the most cost-effective time to repipe those sections.
Minimizing disruption in occupied homes
We plan the work in sections where possible, so you're not without water for your whole house at once, and we protect floors and finishes throughout.
You keep fixing the same pipe, in different places
It's one of the clearest signs we see in older Toronto homes: a leak gets patched, then a few months later another leak shows up nearby on the same line. That's usually not bad luck, it's a pipe that has corroded or degraded along its whole length, and patching one spot just moves the problem to the next weak point.
A planned repipe stops the cycle
We assess the full run of affected pipe, plan the replacement to minimize how much of your home needs to be opened up, and use materials suited to your household's needs and your home's structure. Once it's done, you're not waiting for the next leak to show up somewhere new.
How we approach a repiping project
Repiping is a bigger job, so we plan it carefully with you.
- 1
Assessment
We look at your existing plumbing, note problem areas, and identify which runs need replacing.
- 2
A clear plan and quote
We map out the scope, sequence, and cost, and explain what to expect during the work.
- 3
Section-by-section work where possible
We aim to keep some water service running during the project rather than cutting it all at once.
- 4
Careful access and restoration
We open only what's needed and coordinate patching of drywall or flooring where required.
- 5
Testing and walkthrough
We pressure test the new lines and walk you through what was done before calling the job complete.

Repiping questions
How do I know if my home needs a repipe rather than a repair?
If leaks keep recurring along the same line, water pressure has dropped over time, or your water looks discoloured, these are signs the whole run may be corroding rather than just one weak spot.
Will I be without water during the repipe?
We aim to work in sections where possible so you're not without water service for the whole duration, though there will be periods where specific fixtures are offline.
Do you repipe during a kitchen or bathroom renovation?
Yes, and it's often the most sensible time to do it, since the walls or floor may already be open for other work.
What pipe material do you use for repiping?
We select materials based on your home's structure and needs, and we'll walk you through the options and reasoning as part of your quote.
Is repiping only for very old homes?
Most commonly it's older homes with galvanized or early copper pipe, but any home can develop issues that make a partial or full repipe worthwhile.
