With every new home renovation or home addition, it may be best to optimize your plumbing system by enhancing both the water flow and water pressure throughout the house. One way to do this is by increasing the size of your property’s water supply line. Here at City Rooter, our specialized water line upgrade services include changing old lead or galvanized pipes to copper pipes that ultimately ensure a safe and efficient water supply.

Our Water Line Upgrade Services

In Toronto, water distribution typically comes from underground via the city side, and then enters your home, where from there it disperses to the fixtures accordingly. One of the main reasons why you might not be getting as much water pressure as you could be is because a smaller diameter water line can cause too much friction. Many properties have ½” diameter water lines, whereas generally, the more optimal size is ¾”. Our water service upgrade in Toronto focuses on increasing your main water line’s diameter size for better circulation. 

In addition to increasing your water pressure, another advantage of a water line upgrade is to replace lead pipes. An outdated water line using this harmful metal can potentially cause serious health concerns if the lead deteriorates and seeps into your potable water.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Water Service

You may want or need to upgrade your water service plumbing for several reasons such as low water pressure in the pipes, construction of a new building or home addition, replacing pipes that are no longer reliable, lead pipe replacement, or damaged pipes. Some benefits that home and business owners love after upgrading their water service have included:

  • Improved Water Pressure – Especially if you are renovating your home, adding another bathroom, or otherwise increasing water demand, you may need to upgrade your water service pipe to prevent low water pressure on your property. 
  • Convenience – You can use multiple water fixtures simultaneously without compromising water flow.
  • Better Water Quality – Older homes with galvanized or lead pipes pose a dangerous threat for your health and need to be upgraded to copper or an alternative modern material. You can trust City Rooter to bring healthy water back to your home.

Water Service Line Upgrade Process

Our plumbing specialists have created a streamlined process to make upgrading your water line as easy and efficient as possible. We begin with an initial assessment to determine the size of your upgrade. Next, because we are working with the city’s underground main water service line, we will need to obtain permits.

City Rooter has new trenchless solutions for minimal landscape disruption. This innovative method requires making only a small hole on your property line and enables us to install a full water supply line with connections to your water meter or the hot water tank. Upgrading via our trenchless technology offers several environmental benefits and is the most efficient method to upgrade your water line.

I highly recommend Alexie and his partner for all your plumbing needs. We recently moved to a new home and had an issue in our main bathroom, I called Alexie and he was able to come to my place for inspection within few hours only. Luckily the fix was easy and the price was fair and reasonable. City Rooters are definitely my go to for future plumbing needs.

Hands down the best contractor I’ve ever hired to work at our home. Super nice owner and crew, incredible workmanship, clean, and fair price. There’s no reason to look elsewhere, City Rooter is #1 in my books. Thank you so much for the couple weeks of sewer and waterproofing work you did @ our home. It’s such a great feeling knowing you picked the right contractor for the job.

We would highly recommend City Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services. We were flooded like so many in our area. After the recommendations of several of our neighbours, we had them installed a back water valve on our main drain. They were knowledgeable and professional. We feel confident the job was done well and will make a difference in the future.

Timely and trustworthy company. I would definitely recommend hiring Alexei and his team for your next plumbing project whether big or small. They completed main house water and sewer upgrades, Guest house water and sewer lines and all rough in work. All work was done within timelines agreed and site was left clean. I would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option.

I hired City Rooter Plumbing to upgrade the private side of my main water line from lead to copper in downtown Toronto. It's a tight site, but that was not a challenge or obstacle for them. They did not make a fuss about working downtown and potential parking issues (which is something I hear often from other trades). Alexei and his brother were informative and generous with their time and knowledge while meeting with me to provide the initial estimate (they offered me guidance on the underground drains, which was outside the scope). They seem to care about their work and take pride in it. A crew of three showed up and completed the job on time. Alexei was very communicative. The entire crew did not mind if I watched (it was neat to watch the torpedo in action for the trenchless water line replacement).

Great plumbing company. Alexei and his partner are both great to work with.I have used them twice, once for a back up in my laundry room (unfortunately they could not help as it was a city related issue) but they came and did everything they could to help and were very fair and honest in price.The second time was for two bad valves on my water heater. They arrived same day, quickly fixed the issue and once again were very professional and fair.I would definitely recommend Alexei for any plumbing related work.It's great to see that there are still honest and knowledgeable contractors out there!

A great experience based on a large residential renovation/ bathroom remodel. The team was reliable, hard working and all around good guys who seemed very trustworthy.They even returned to the house afterwards to help address an issue that arose after the fact (not due to their error).
