Lead Pipe Replacement in Toronto
Protect Your Water. Upgrade to Safe, Modern Plumbing.
Many older homes in Toronto still rely on lead water service lines — a hidden health risk that can affect your entire family. At UPR, we provide fast, professional lead pipe replacement using modern, safe materials that meet or exceed today’s building codes.
If your home was built before the 1950s or you’ve received a notice from the City of Toronto, it’s time to make the switch — and we’ll help you through every step.
Why Replace Lead Pipes?
Lead water pipes can leach harmful particles into your drinking water over time, especially when disturbed or exposed to certain water chemistry. According to Health Canada, no amount of lead in drinking water is considered safe, especially for children or pregnant women.
Common signs you may have lead service lines:
Your home was built before 1955
Soft, dark grey pipes entering your home
No ground wire attached to your water pipe
You’ve received a notice or sample result from the city
