If your home has galvanized steel, polybutylene, or corroded copper pipes, a repipe is not just a repair — it is an investment that eliminates a long string of expensive problems before they happen.
Many homes in York Region built before the 1990s still have their original galvanized steel supply pipes, which corrode from the inside out over decades. The first signs are usually rust-coloured water, low water pressure as the pipe interior narrows with buildup, and a pattern of small leaks that keep coming back in different places. At that point, individual repairs are a losing battle — the right answer is a whole-home repipe.
Homes built between the 1970s and early 1990s may also have polybutylene pipe — a gray plastic material that was widely used but is now known to fail unexpectedly due to reactions with chlorine in municipal water. If your home has polybutylene supply lines, replacement is strongly recommended before a major failure occurs.
We handle both full whole-home repipes and targeted partial repipes, using PEX or copper depending on your preferences and the specific application. We work cleanly, minimize the number of wall openings required, and repair and patch all access points after the pipe work is done. Every repipe includes a full pressure test and inspection before we restore water service.
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside — by the time you see rust in the water, the pipe interior is already heavily restricted. A repipe fixes the cause, not just the symptom.
Straightforward, no-surprise service from the first call to the final test.
We inspect the existing pipe system to identify the material, condition, and scope of work required.
We plan the most efficient routing for new pipe, minimizing wall openings while ensuring the new system meets code.
New pipes are run, connections are made, and all access points are patched — we do not leave holes in your walls.
We pressure test the entire new system before restoring water service and walk you through what was done.
