Common Reasons for Water Line Replacement

There are several factors that contribute to the need for water line replacement. Here are some of the most common ones:

  • Underground water leak and pipe burst:

    Many homes in Toronto were built in the mid-1950s, and at that time, lead pipes were commonly used. After decades of use, these pipes can corrode and become vulnerable to varying temperature and pressure conditions underground, which can cause them to break or burst.
    Once a pipe bursts, it needs to be repaired, but there is always the possibility of another leak developing at a different point along the line. This is why replacing the water line from the city connection to the meter with a new copper pipe system is not only recommended but also a wise long-term solution.

  •  Low Water pressure:

    Many homeowners today are experiencing low water pressure, but the issue is not necessarily within the plumbing system inside the house. The main cause is often the water line from the city to the house, which can become restricted over time. As the pipe ages, debris builds up inside, gradually reducing the diameter of the pipe and limiting the water flow to the house.
    Additionally, many people are renovating their homes—adding new bathrooms, extra stories, or other upgrades—without considering whether the existing water supply line can handle the increased demand. The original water line, installed when the house was first built, may not be able to supply enough water to meet the needs of these new additions, leading to low water pressure throughout the home.

  •  Lead Pipe Replacement

    Replacing the lead pipe that supplies water to your home is the most effective way to reduce your exposure to lead in drinking water. Many homes in Toronto were built in the mid-20th century, during a time when lead pipes were commonly used for water supply, including the city’s main water lines. The City of Toronto under Capital Water Service Replacement Program is actively upgrading water lines throughout the city, and they are encouraging homeowners to replace their old lead pipes with a new copper piping system.
    Lead pipes pose significant health risks, with both short-term and long-term consequences. Replacing these pipes is a crucial step in safeguarding your health and ensuring access to clean, safe drinking water.

    Lead Pipes: The forgotten Culprit Behind Many Water Contamination Issues
  • Upgrading existing pipe size

    In the past, people installed basic pipe sizes for water supply. Now the Toronto city replacing its main water line, they recommended that property owners upgrade to new piping and larger sizes. Typically, the city supplies a 3/4″ new line and connects it to your old 1/2″ pipe, which has already reduced in size due to long-term use. This can lead to unsatisfactory water flow, right?
    Upgrading to a larger pipe size offers several benefits: higher water pressure, lead-free water that is safe for drinking, and, most importantly, an increase in property value. The best time to make this change is when the city is already replacing the water main, as it saves money. This one-time hassle solves the issue for good, preventing future stress over the same problem.

  • Tradition Method : Trenching and Digging:

    Another method is trenching, which involves digging the ground from the city connection to the water meter inside.
