Main Waterline Upgrade in Toronto
Stronger Pressure. Cleaner Water. Modern Materials.
Still stuck with an old ½” lead or galvanized waterline? You’re not alone — many Toronto homes were built with undersized or outdated water service lines. At UPR, we specialize in main waterline upgrades, increasing pipe size and replacing old lines with safe, high-capacity materials.
If you’re experiencing low pressure, discolored water, or planning a renovation or secondary suite, it might be time to upgrade.
Signs You Need a Waterline Upgrade
Weak or inconsistent water pressure
Rusty or brown water from taps
Plumbing banging or surging (water hammer)
Homes built before 1960 with lead or galvanized piping
Insufficient flow for new bathrooms, kitchens, or additions
City-issued notice requiring a lead waterline upgrade
Upgrade to a ¾” or 1″ Line
Many Toronto homes still rely on ½” lines, which restrict pressure and flow. We upgrade to:
¾” copper or HDPE for standard homes
1” waterlines for larger homes or multi-unit properties
This not only improves pressure — it also prepares your home for future upgrades like basement units, second bathrooms, or in-law suites.
