Pipe Repair & Repiping in Toronto & GTA — Fixing the Problem, Not Just the Symptom

Low water pressure. Orange-tinted water. Soggy ceilings that appeared from nowhere. These aren't quirks of an old house — they're signs your pipes are failing. We repair, reroute, and repipe residential plumbing in Toronto, from single burst sections to full-home repipes in PEX and copper.

Pipe Repair & Replacement Services We Offer

Emergency Burst Pipe Repair

A burst pipe can dump hundreds of litres of water into your home within an hour. We dispatch 24/7 to shut off the source, assess the damage, and replace the failed section same-day. We use correct-diameter fittings and proper solder or crimp techniques — no quick-clamp patches that fail again in three months.

Full-Home Copper & PEX Repiping

If your home has galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes (common in Toronto homes built before 1990), the interior is likely corroding or has already been compromised. We repipe the full supply system using durable copper for main shut-offs and freeze-resistant flexible PEX for branches — a permanent solution, not a band-aid.

Hidden Drywall Leak Repair

Pinhole leaks are the worst kind — they hide behind drywall for months, slowly saturating wood studs and creating ideal conditions for mould growth before the ceiling finally shows a stain. We use acoustic listening and thermal imaging to find the exact leak location with minimal wall opening, then repair it cleanly.

Frozen Pipe Thawing & Prevention

When water freezes inside a copper or PEX supply line, it expands and splits the pipe seam. We thaw frozen pipes safely using electronic resistance heaters — never open-flame torches, which carry fire risk and can damage surrounding materials. We then repair split sections and advise on insulation to prevent recurrence.

Supply Line & Shut-Off Valve Replacement

Braided supply lines under sinks and toilets have a typical lifespan of 5–10 years. When they fail, they can flood a room in minutes. We replace worn lines and corroded shut-off valves before failure — and during any repair visit, we check these as part of our standard inspection.

Galvanized & Polybutylene Pipe Replacement

Many older Toronto homes still have galvanized steel pipes that rust shut from the inside, or grey polybutylene lines that crack without warning. We replace them section by section or throughout the house with copper or PEX, and pressure-test every joint before we leave.

Kitec Plumbing Replacement

Kitec is a plastic-and-aluminium water pipe that was sold from about 1995 to 2007, so it turns up in many GTA houses and condos built or renovated in those years. It is usually orange for hot water and blue for cold, and it is joined with brass fittings. Those fittings can corrode from the inside and start to leak, which is why many home insurers ask whether a house has Kitec. Look at the pipes near your water heater, your main shut-off and under your sinks: orange and blue pipe with brass fittings is the usual sign. If you are not sure, we can check it on any visit.

We replace Kitec with copper or PEX, either the whole house in one job or in planned stages, and route the new lines to keep wall and ceiling openings to a minimum.

When Is It Time to Repipe Your Home?

• Pinhole leaks keep appearing in copper lines, in different places
• Galvanized steel pipe with low water pressure or brown water when you first turn on a tap
• Kitec or grey polybutylene pipe anywhere in the house
• You are renovating and the walls are open anyway, which makes repiping much less disruptive

We do full-home repiping with copper or PEX in houses and condos, and we tell you before we start which walls and ceilings need to be opened.
