Supply lines, valves and leaks

Repiping galvanized and old copper

Galvanized steel and worn copper supply pipe replaced with copper or PEX throughout older Toronto homes, opening walls as little as possible.

When a house has old galvanized pipe, repairs never end. Rust narrows the pipe, pressure drops, and leaks appear at threaded joints.

Planning the route

Before any wall is touched we trace every existing feed from the meter out to every fixture and sketch the house.
New runs go through basement ceilings, closets, stacked bathroom walls and service chases, so most of the work happens out of sight and only small, square openings need patching.

Type L copper is durable, handles heat well and suits exposed basement mains.
PEX is flexible, needs fewer joints and can be fished through finished walls with far less damage.
Many repipes use copper for the main trunk and PEX branches to each fixture, with a labelled shut-off at every one.

Repiping an occupied house is done in stages.
Each day we cut over one area, test it under pressure and restore water before leaving, so there is always a working bathroom when evening comes.
The old galvanized lines are cut out and removed as we go.

Galvanized pipe looks grey and threaded; a magnet sticks to it.
