Will Wong
Had a clog in the pipe under my kitchen sink. Elvis was very nice and informative in explaining the situation on what the issue was and how to further prevent it in the future. The service to fix the problem was quick and not a big mess. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive review. Let us know if we can help you. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.
G Smart
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

Kobra
Can’t say enough good things about this company. Professional, courteous, and really good at what they do. Most importantly, they do professional work for a reasonable rate, unlike most plumbers in town. Add these guys to your Rolodex and forget the rest.
Response from the owner:Kobra, thank you for sharing your positive review! It's very important for us to read such great words. It was a pleasure to help you. Always yours, Dr. Pipe.
DJ Short
Elvis was great, was very respectful, knew what he was doing, very thorough, even retested twice. He put away things back under the sink that he didn’t move, great plumber and would use again, because of Elvis.
Response from the owner:Thank you, DJ Short, for your kind review! We are here to help you with any plumbing-related issues! Best regards, Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.
William Ryu
Elvis did excellent work on what I thought was a sewer drain problem but turned out to be something else. After the first visit, Elvis explained to me in detail his thought process, including drawing diagrams for me on his phone, and gave his recommendations. He then came out for a second visit to install a new toilet and check the drain line, which improved my initial toilet plumbing issue. The work was done carefully, cleanly, and Elvis satisfied my curiosity by answering all my questions while he was doing his work. In the end I feel I can trust these guys to just do work that is required, while keeping my informed, so I understand the what, why, and how. High recommendations from me.
Response from the owner:William Ryu, thank you for your business! Dr. Pipe is really appreciate your review. We were happy to help you. Have a good day!

Ian T-W
We live in an 85-year-old building with some original fixtures. Since we moved into the building 15 years ago, I had been putting off some plumbing issues which should have been addressed at least 15 years before we moved in. I was hoping that things could wait until I retired and then we could do a complete reno. Such was not to be, and my significant other was very displeased to put it mildly.

I reached out to several plumbers suggested by our property manager. None of them seemed very interested in the work. I suppose they were all too aware of the challenges which older buildings can present. I then reached out to several more plumbers after doing some online searching.

Dr. Pipe got back to me with an estimate within an hour of my uploading to their contact page a description of the work needed along with photos. They said they could have a plumber out to me the following morning.

I was very impressed by Elvis, the plumber who showed up shortly after 9:00 the next morning. Whenever there was an issue, he would clearly explain what the issue was and the ways in which it could be addressed without attempting to sway me one way or the other. He was very conscientious and had an incredible work ethic. Although it was going to be a two-day job, rather than stopping at 5:00 on the first day, Elvis worked until 8:00 in the evening to ensure that we had a functioning toilet and water in our kitchen.

Would definitely recommend Dr. Pipe to anyone in need of a plumber. Not only did they fix our plumbing issues, they also saved my marriage.
Response from the owner:Ian T-W, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We completely understand the challenges that older buildings can present, and we’re thrilled that Elvis was able to help make the process smooth and stress-free for you. Going above and beyond to ensure your home remained functional—and keeping everyone happy—is exactly the level of service we strive for at Dr. Pipe.

We’re so glad we could help resolve your plumbing issues (and maybe even save a marriage along the way!). Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to 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.

  • Over 20 years of experience to help you plan your work effectively

FAQs

1. What does running a new water main to your house involve?
Running a new water main involves installing an underground service line that connects your home’s plumbing system directly to the city’s water supply. This process includes trenching, laying down the pipe, connecting to municipal infrastructure, and testing the system to ensure optimal water flow and pressure. It’s a crucial step to ensure your plumbing system functions reliably, with clean and efficient water delivery from the city supply to your home.
2. Why might I need a new water main installed?
You may need a new water main if your current line is old, corroded, or leaking, leading to reduced water quality and potential damage to your property. A new installation is also necessary if the existing line is undersized for your current usage or fails to meet updated municipal standards. Installing a new water main improves water flow, enhances pressure, and ensures consistent, high-quality water delivery, ultimately preventing the risk of more costly repairs in the future.
3. How long does water main installation take in Toronto?
The timeline varies based on property size, soil conditions, and accessibility, but most residential water main installations can be completed within a day or two. Our experienced team plans the work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property and daily routine.
4. Do I need permits to install a new water main in Toronto?
Yes, installing a new water main requires the necessary permits and approvals from the City of Toronto. The installation must comply with local plumbing codes and standards, ensuring safety and functionality. Dr. Pipe handles all permitting requirements and coordinates inspections to make sure your installation is fully compliant with city regulations and completed without issues.
5. Will installing a new water main disrupt my yard or driveway?
Some disruption is typical because trenching is required to lay the pipe. However, our team uses professional techniques to keep excavation to a minimum, restore the area after work is complete, and reduce the impact to your landscaping or hardscaping.
6. How much does a new water main installation cost?
Cost depends on factors like pipe length, depth, materials, and site conditions. Although prices vary, installing a new water main is an investment in long-term reliability and water quality. Dr. Pipe provides transparent estimates so you know what to expect before work begins.
