Understanding the Risks of Water Pipe Leaks in Toronto

Water pipe leaks can pose several serious risks to both your property and wallet, including:

  • Soil Erosion: Leaks can erode the soil that supports structures like your home’s foundation or pool deck, leading to instability and potential damage.
  • Sewer Backups: A severe consequence of leaks can be sewer backup, sometimes forcing homeowners to vacate their properties due to health hazards.
  • Flooding Risks: Unaddressed leaks can cause flooding, damaging the structure of your home as well as furnishings inside.
  • Financial Impact: High water and energy bills can result from unnoticed leaks, impacting your finances.
  • Health Concerns: The presence of mildew, a common byproduct of leaks, can pose health risks.
  • Environmental Impact: Water leaks contribute to the wastage of one of our most precious resources: water.

How to Test for Leaks

  • Using MyWaterToronto: This online tool helps you monitor your water usage. Simply visit MyWaterToronto and enter your utility account details to start tracking your consumption by day, week, month, or year.
  • Meter Dial Observation: Your water meter’s face may have a flow indicator (red triangle or black star) that moves with water flow. To test for leaks, shut off all water sources and watch the meter. Any movement when water isn’t being used could indicate a leak.
  • Toilet Dye Test: Toilets are often leak culprits. Test yours by adding food coloring or dye tablets to the tank and waiting 10-15 minutes without flushing. If the color appears in the bowl, there’s a leak.

      Cheap Plumber came through when we noticed a mysterious water stain on our basement ceiling. Their leak detection service was fast, accurate, and non-invasive. They quickly pinpointed the issue without tearing into walls and had it fixed the same day. Great service, fair pricing, and real peace of mind!

      Shut-off Valves Installation

      I recently hired Cheap Plumber to install new shut-off valves for my kitchen and bathroom, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Booking the appointment was easy, and the plumber arrived right on schedule. He explained what needed to be done, replaced the outdated valves efficiently, and even checked for any potential issues while he was there.

      The work was done neatly with no mess left behind, and the pricing was exactly what they quoted—no surprises. I now feel much more confident knowing I can shut off water locally in case of an emergency. Highly recommend Cheap Plumber for this kind of work—fast, honest, and professional.
