Whole-House Repiping for Homes Across the GTA
When a house’s supply piping is galvanized steel or thin copper failing in several places, chasing leaks one at a time stops making sense.
- Leak pinned down before a wall is opened
- Copper, PEX or press fittings sized to your house
- Pressure gauge held after every repair
Diagnosis first, tested after
- Licensed & insured: ask us
- Camera before cutting
- Water-tested repairs
- Booked by phone
Signs it is time to call
Pressure that drops whenever two fixtures run, brown water after the house sits, repeated pinhole leaks on copper, or galvanized threads weeping at every joint signal a system near the end. Repiping is also natural during a gut renovation, when walls are already open.
- Low pressure everywhere
- Rust-coloured water
- Several leaks in a few years
- Galvanized steel visible in the basement
On the job, step by step
We map the existing runs and plan a new layout from the main to each fixture, typically a PEX home-run manifold, or copper mains feeding PEX drops. Access is through the basement ceiling and the minimum number of wall openings, cut cleanly for patching. The old pipe is usually abandoned in place where it is not in the way. Each fixture gets its own shut-off. The system is pressure tested before walls close.
GTA houses and what they change
Plaster and lath walls in older homes make openings harder; we plan routes through closets and chases. Bungalows with open basements are straightforward. Two-storey semis need careful routes to second-floor bathrooms. A permit is generally required for replacing water distribution piping.
Before you pick up the phone
Ask what material is proposed, how many wall openings are expected and who patches them, and whether permits are included. Call (365) 387-8531.

Common questions
Can PEX be used in Ontario?
It can. The Building Code permits approved PEX for distribution piping, provided it is installed per code and the maker’s instructions.
