Your water main is the primary underground pipe that supplies fresh water to your entire home from the municipal system. Located 4-6 feet deep in Toronto's frost line, it's responsible for delivering clean water to every tap, toilet, and appliance. Unlike interior plumbing that you can repair inside your home, water main problems require professional excavation and specialized repair technology. A failure means no water, potential flooding, property damage, and foundation threats. Water Pro specializes in diagnosing and repairing water main issues fast—from emergency breaks to preventive replacements. We handle everything from professional drain cleaning to complete sewer repair solutions and comprehensive water line services backed by 24 years of Toronto expertise.

Toronto's winter temperatures cycle above and below freezing repeatedly. Water in cracks expands when frozen, creating micro-fractures that grow year after year. Homes built before 1980 are especially vulnerable. Copper and galvanized steel pipes are more susceptible than modern materials.
Solutions: Replacement with PEX or full relining. Trenchless methods available.
Toronto's predominant clay soil absorbs water, swells, then shrinks as it dries. This expansion and contraction stresses buried pipes over decades, creating pinhole leaks, cracks, and offset joints. Older homes experience more severe settling damage as soil compaction continues.
Solutions: Camera inspection identifies damage extent. Repair or full replacement restores integrity.
Galvanized steel pipes from the 1960s-1980s corrode from the inside out. Lead pipes (pre-1950s homes) leach toxic lead into drinking water. Iron pipes develop pinhole leaks. Copper pipes suffer from aggressive soil conditions. Mineral deposits clog lines, reducing water pressure and volume.
Solutions: Lead pipe replacement qualifies for Toronto Water subsidies. Modern PEX pipes resist corrosion permanently.
Buildup inside corroded pipes reduces water flow significantly. Partially burst mains cause pressure loss throughout the home. Leaks divert water supply, reducing pressure. Toronto's aging infrastructure contributes to widespread low-pressure complaints in neighborhoods with older water systems.
Solutions: Camera inspection diagnoses blockages. Replacement restores full pressure and flow instantly.
Mature tree roots seek water sources underground. Cracks in water mains attract roots that penetrate and grow inside pipes, causing complete blockages. Toronto's beautiful tree canopy creates risk for nearby water and sewer lines. Roots grow 1-2 feet per year once they find a water source.
Solutions: Trenchless pipe bursting removes old pipe, prevents regrowth with new material.
Heavy trucks, excavation, and road construction near your property stress buried water lines. Settlement from nearby construction projects shifts soil, stressing pipes. Improper street restoration after repairs can damage water mains. Toronto's ongoing transit expansion creates damage risks in affected neighborhoods.
Solutions: We handle permit issues and coordinate with City. Modern trenchless methods protect existing lines.

Your water main is the single primary line from the street to your home's exterior. It supplies water to your entire house. Interior water lines are smaller pipes inside your home that distribute water from the main to each fixture. Water main problems affect your whole house and require excavation. Interior line problems affect specific areas and are usually inside repairs.
Check with neighbors. If they have normal pressure, your issue is likely your water main. Look for wet yard spots, water pooling, high water bills, or discolored water—all water main signs. Contact us for professional camera inspection to confirm. City pressure issues affect entire neighborhoods at once.
It depends on damage severity and length. Small pinhole leaks can be patched or relocated. Moderate cracks can sometimes be repaired with trenchless relining. Complete breaks or extensive corrosion usually require full replacement. Camera inspection determines which approach saves you the most money.
Toronto's frost line extends 4-6 feet below the surface (deeper than most cities). Water mains must be below this line to prevent freezing. Deeper digging means more labor and time, so costs increase with depth. Trenchless methods minimize depth-related costs by avoiding full excavation.
Modern copper and PEX pipes last 50-100+ years. Older materials fail faster: galvanized steel (30-50 years), lead pipes (25-40 years depending on soil). Toronto's clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate aging. Regular camera inspections every 10-15 years help catch problems early.
The City of Toronto maintains the main water line from the street to the water meter. If their portion fails, they typically handle repair at no cost to you. However, you're responsible from the meter to your house. Our team determines which portion is affected and coordinates with the City if needed.
Toronto Water offers subsidies for lead pipe replacement (up to 50% cost share, max $2,400). Some homes may qualify for other City rebate programs. Check with Canada Revenue Agency about potential home improvement tax credits (varies annually). Our team helps identify all available programs for your situation.
Pipe bursting requires minimal excavation (typically just access points, 2-3 feet wide). Most of your yard, driveway, and landscaping is preserved. This is the main advantage over traditional excavation which tears up 6-8 feet of width. Some surface disruption is normal, but landscape damage is minimal.
Most repairs maintain water service throughout. However, major replacements may require a few hours of shutoff. Trenchless methods minimize shutoff time. We coordinate shutoffs during your convenience and work quickly to restore service. Emergency repairs prioritize fast water restoration.
Some homeowner insurance policies cover water main breaks (usually under "water backup" or "sudden accidental breakage" coverage). Check your policy details and deductible. We provide photos and documentation for insurance claims. Contact your insurer immediately if you have a water main emergency—claim filing timing matters.
