It may start with a leaky faucet, a leaky shower head, or a drop in water pressure. Either way, it is time to get a professional water line repair.

  • A broken water line comes in all shapes and sizes. While visible plumbing pipes are straightforward, there are also underground water lines or pipes installed behind concrete walls. Professional plumbing tools are needed to understand the root cause of the problem, as well as locate specific leak areas.

    Plumbing Inspection

    During the inspection process, our Scarborough plumber uses the following tools:

    • Video camera inspection: A tiny camera attached to a semi-rigid cable is lowered into the affected water pipe. Live footage will be reflected on a monitor, allowing our experts to determine your water supply line’s condition. One major thing the camera helps with is locating clogs and areas with serious buildup.
    • Leak detection: Locating a water line leak can be a tricky process when dealing with buried water pipes. So we use two major tools. The acoustic listening device helps our Scarborough water line repair technician differentiate the sounds between the natural flow of water and dripping sounds. The other tool is a thermographic imaging device that determines leaks by providing heatmaps that detect surface temperature changes.

  • Depending on the type of damage, the repair process can be comprehensive, from trenchless pipe repair to excavation.

    The “no-dig” technology is a cost-effective method of restoring your supply line without requiring our professional plumbers to dig a trench. First, your supply pipe is cleaned through hydro jetting, so our experts have a clear space to work with. One popular trenchless method is pipelining, during which an inflatable felt tube soaked in epoxy is installed in the affected supply line. This method will fix leaks and restore the pipe’s original functions.

    In more severe cases where the water pipe has collapsed or its condition is irreparable, the traditional method of digging is required, and you’d be looking at a complete replacement.

    The key is to always detect problems early, turn off the water shut-off valve, and contact an experienced plumber for an immediate inspection.

    When in need of a water line repair, Scarborough property owners can count on our dedicated team for reliable plumbing repair services.

FAQs About Scarborough Water Line Repair

  • This depends on the extent and location of the damage. If it’s minor damage in the utility room or basement where the affected pipes are visible, it should take about one to three hours for a water line repair. Scarborough plumbers may also replace specific sections.

    If you have experienced water main breaks in the past, you might be aware that the municipality requires an average of 48 hours to rectify the situation. But that’s when the city’s supply line in the streets is affected.

    Otherwise, when in need of a residential water line repair, Scarborough plumbers may need between six and eight hours.
