What is Water Line Replacement in Toronto?

Homeowners are responsible for the private side of the line (from the property line to the home), while the City maintains the public portion. Our water line replacement involves removing old or damaged underground pipes that supply water from the City of Toronto’s municipal system to your home. This service is especially critical in areas with lead or galvanized steel pipes—still common in homes built before the 1950s.

According to the City of Toronto, over 31,000 homes are still connected to the water system via lead service pipes, many of which exceed 70 years in age.

What is Water Line Installation in Toronto?

Water line installation refers to setting up a new water service connection—often needed for new builds, property severances, or major renovations. It involves trenching or trenchless boring, tapping into the city’s main, installing Type K copper or HDPE/PEX pipe, and undergoing inspection

City requirement: Toronto mandates a minimum ¾” copper line for single-dwelling homes to meet flow and fire protection standards. For larger homes or multi-units, a 1” service line or larger may be required.

Signs You Need Water Line Replacement

Water line failure can escalate quickly. Here are the most common red flags for Toronto homeowners:

Low flow throughout the house is often caused by mineral buildup or corrosion in aging pipes.

A leaking water main can waste up to 90,000 litres per month—costing you hundreds annually.

Indicative of iron or lead contamination, especially in homes with legacy galvanized or lead lines.

A water line break can create underground seepage and even damage nearby foundations or tree roots.

Most homes from this era still have lead or galvanized steel water service lines, which are non-compliant with today’s health standards.

If you’ve searched “water line replacement near me”, these symptoms are likely affecting your home. AquaRescue is here to deliver results!

Toronto Water Line Replacement Services

We offer complete waterline replacement services across Toronto and the GTA. No matter the type of soil condition, environmental constraints, or grading, we have the right tools and equipment to implement different methods for proper water line repair or replacement. Whether your line is cracked, bellied, corroded or made of lead, we have the answer!

We use trenchless pipe bursting to replace old lines without tearing up your yard. This method is fast, clean, and ideal for homes with finished landscaping or paved surfaces.

Our team uses directional drilling when we need to install new water lines under driveways, walkways, or structures. It allows us to navigate underground with pinpoint accuracy—no large trenches needed.

For certain straight runs of existing pipe, we can use slip lining to insert a new pipe inside the old one. This can be a cost-effective, low-impact option when full excavation isn’t practical.

When necessary, we excavate the full length of the water line to remove and replace it. This is typically the best approach when the pipe is collapsed or severely corroded.

If you’re dealing with a burst pipe or no water service, we’re available 24/7 to stop the burst and repair your water line fast!

We replace your home’s private lead water line using Type K copper or PEX. Over 31,000 Toronto homes still have lead. Get it checked, water tested. Homeowners must replace before the City acts.

I recently worked with Igor and Vitaly at AquaRescue Plumbing to replace my main plumbing pipe, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, friendly, and communicative. They took the time to walk me through each step of the process, ensuring I fully understood what was being done.

The quality of their work was outstanding, and it was clear they take pride in doing things right. I highly recommend AquaRescue Plumbing to anyone in need of reliable and expert plumbing services. I’ll definitely be working with Igor and Vitaly again in the future!

Igor and his team have become our BFs this summer. Due to the unfortunate rainy summer we had this summer, our house was flooded. Igor and his team installed a sump pump and completed exterior waterproofing on our home. Igor is knowledgeable, detail oriented and is able to explain all plumbing world vocab into terms I could understand. He and his team worked hard to meet deliverables in a timely natter while maintaining care and attention to detail. I highly recommend their services
