Pipe replacement and repiping

Older pipes often fail from the inside. If you keep repairing leaks, or the water runs rusty or weak, it may be time to replace some or all of the lines. We tell you what your pipes are and what really needs to go.

It may be time when

  • You have had repeat leaks in different places
  • The water comes out rusty or discoloured
  • Pressure is weak or uneven around the house
  • Exposed pipes show visible corrosion
  • You are renovating and the walls are already open

Which pipes cause trouble

  • Galvanized steel: common in homes built before the 1970s, it corrodes from the inside and restricts flow
  • Polybutylene: an older plastic line that is often replaced because of its risk of failure
  • Kitec: see Kitec pipe replacement
  • Lead water service: see lead water line replacement

Older copper can also wear out. The material alone does not decide it, so we look at the condition of the pipe and the problems you are having.

All of it, or just part?

Not every home needs a full repipe. Sometimes one failing section or the line to one bathroom is the real problem. We inspect what we can see, tell you what we found, and explain the options so you can choose.

Do it when the walls are open

A kitchen, bathroom or basement renovation is the easiest time to replace old lines behind the walls. See bathroom renovation plumbing and kitchen plumbing.
