Whole-Home Repiping in Mississauga

Repiping is a planned project rather than a repair. Done well, it ends a long series of leaks and restores pressure throughout the house.

  • Repeated pinhole leaks in copper lines
  • Galvanized steel with rusty water and falling pressure
  • Polybutylene supply lines, often grey, from the 1980s
  • Renovations that open walls anyway

When repiping is the right call

  • Repeated pinhole leaks in copper lines
  • Galvanized steel with rusty water and falling pressure
  • Polybutylene supply lines, often grey, from the 1980s
  • Renovations that open walls anyway
  • Insurers asking about the piping material

How we do the work

  1. Survey the system and map each fixture's supply route.
  2. Choose the material. Copper and PEX each have merits; we explain both.
  3. Protect the home. Floors and furnishings are covered; dust is contained.
  4. Run new lines through basement ceilings, closets and minimal wall openings.
  5. Connect fixtures in stages keeping each interruption short.
  6. Pressure test before any wall is closed.
On noise. New piping is properly strapped and supported, which often cures knocking that the old system suffered. See noisy pipes and water hammer.

Mississauga homes and this job

Postwar homes in Applewood, Cooksville and Port Credit may still contain galvanized pipe in places. Houses from the 1980s in parts of Erin Mills and Meadowvale may have polybutylene, which is addressed in more detail on our polybutylene replacement page. Bungalows and backsplits are often straightforward, since the basement ceiling gives easy access.

What affects the cost

  • The number of fixtures and floors
  • Material choice
  • Access through finished ceilings
  • Drywall repair, which we arrange or leave ready for your contractor

New faucets and supply stops are worth installing at the same time; see faucet installation.

Answers our Mississauga crew gives most

How long does a repipe take?

Many houses take a few days, depending on size and access.

Will I have water during the work?

Each evening the water is normally back on.

PEX or copper?

Both are approved. PEX is flexible with fewer joints; copper is durable and familiar. We explain the trade-offs.
