Very happy with the work that I done today to fix some issues that were causing a nuisance. Elvis did an amazing job. He was prompt, thorough, kind and explained his process in detail which I appreciate very much as a first time home owner who doesn't know a whole lot about plumbing/home repairs. Would highly recommend and I'm keeping the contact information saved in case of future needs (I hope that won't be the case) Thanks Elvis!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Mika, for such a great review. It was a pleasure for us to read it! Thanks for the recommendations as well.

I am beyond happy with the toilet replacement service done by Elvis! He was very nice, explained everything. It's an old house, so not 100% standard and required some elbow grease. He put in a great effort, not just with the replacement, but cleaning the area, and dealing with some tricky parts. The price was also very fair. I would definitely recommend or call again. Thank you, Elvis!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the good review. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max and Elvis

What is the Water Main?

The water main is the main water pipe that connects your home to the city water supply. The water main is a large pipe, usually 6 inches, typically found away from your property, in an alley or the street, that links to your home via a smaller pipe called a gooseneck. This is the source of all the water in your home and cannot legally be accessed without proper permission.

New Water Mains/Servicing the Water Main

Because the water main is not actually your property, any work that needs to be done connecting to or servicing your connection to the water main requires permits from the city. This can be a daunting task for many homeowners who aren’t sure how to navigate the sometimes confusing processes and paperwork from the city. The application process involves a number of rules and stipulations that need to be fully understood and follow closely.

With over 20 years of experience, our team of professional plumbers is able to help you plan the process of servicing the water main as well as obtaining the necessary permits and permissions to fully realize the process.

Applications for Municipal Service

We can help you understand the City of Toronto’s Applications for Municipal Services and how they’re relevant to your needs.  We’ll make sure all paperwork is done completely and properly, all permits and permissions are in place and the city is on board with any work that needs to be done before it gets done, so you don’t have to deal any red tape or roadblocks once work has already started. When you call us for your water main service in Toronto we can ensure the following;

  • All permissions are in place for work to be done legally
  • Locating your water main and determining your type of development and site layout to determine the extent of the work possible at your location
  • The proper place to connect to your water main so that you have access to water

Installation and service of a water main is a serious issue with legal ramifications if not done properly.  Because this is the sole supply of water for your home, you need to make sure every aspect is done properly and legally beforehand.

FAQs

What does installing a new water main to your home involve?
Installing a new water main means placing an underground service line that connects your home’s plumbing system to the municipal water supply. This process typically includes trenching, laying the new pipe, tying it into city infrastructure, and testing the line to confirm proper flow and pressure. This step ensures your home receives clean, reliable, and efficient water delivery directly from the city system.
Why might I need to have a new water main installed?
A new water main may be necessary if your existing line is aging, corroded, leaking, or no longer meeting your water demands. Old or undersized lines can reduce water quality, restrict pressure, or fall short of updated municipal requirements. Installing a new water main improves flow, enhances pressure, and ensures consistent water quality, helping you avoid major repairs down the road. Dr. Pipe can assess the condition of your current line and recommend the best solution.
How long does water main installation typically take in Toronto?
Most residential water main installations in Toronto are completed within one to two days, depending on soil conditions, property layout, and ease of access. Our Dr. Pipe team works efficiently to limit disruption to your home and daily routine.
Are permits required to install a new water main in Toronto?
Yes. Installing a new water main needs permits and city approval in Toronto and must follow all applicable plumbing codes and regulations. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing manages the entire permitting process and coordinates any required inspections to ensure the work is compliant and completed smoothly.
Will the installation of a new water main disturb my yard or driveway?
Some disturbance is unavoidable because trenching is needed to place the new pipe. However, our technicians make every effort to minimize excavation, protect surrounding landscaping or hardscaping, and restore the area once the installation is complete.
What is the cost of installing a new water main?
Pricing depends on factors such as depth, distance, material choice, and site conditions. While costs can vary, a new water main is a long-term investment in water quality and system reliability. Dr. Pipe provides clear, upfront estimates so you understand the full scope before work begins.
