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.

Responsibility for Water Leaks in Ontario Condos:
Determining financial responsibility for water damage in a condo complex can be complex. Typically, if the damage affects common areas, the condo corporation’s insurance usually covers the costs, although some expenses may still be passed onto the owners.

Pipe In Powder Room and My Experience With CP
A few days ago the sink in the powder room started to leak. The pipe was corroded where the trap is located. I called Max and he sent Andres who replaced the pipe and left the powder room in perfect order. He was fast and efficient. I’ve used Max and his team for 10 years for major jobs replacing lead water lines in the front yard and installing a much-needed backwater valve under my house to prevent flooding during heavy rains. During a winter freeze, my pipes froze inside the wall and burst at midnight. Max’s team was here by breakfast and moved the vulnerable pipes from the exterior wall to inside the ceiling. Hardworking, decent, efficient crew.

Replaced Horizontal Sewer Line In Basement In 100 Year Old House
I was renovating the basement of my 100-year-old house to replace the very old crumbling clay horizontal sewer line out to the street. I had several unsatisfactory quotes from other plumbers. I then contacted Cheap Plumber. Max was very reasonable and very efficient and timely. They also suggested a backwash valve that will prevent the sewer from ever backing up into the house. I agreed and they provided an excellent price and did a superb job. This week, I decided to install the Moen Flo valve (sold by Home Depot Canada and Amazon.ca) that shuts off all water to the house – IF ever there is a leak anywhere in the house in the toilet or water tank etc. I immediately contacted Max – who provided an excellent price and was able to install it shortly after the valve arrived. I was very pleased as no leaks and they cleaned up afterwards. I will use Max and Cheap Plumber for any future plumbing jobs. I strongly recommend this company.

Back Water Valve Installation
Max and his team installed a back water valve in my house, replaced some of the water lines, installed new water meter for me. Everything was done quickly, professionally, perfect clean up, filled out and submitted the forms for the rebate from the city. When I noticed a tiny leak after the job completion, a technician was sent over within minutes and everything was fixed very quickly. The services were reasonably priced, and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with plumbing needs. Thank you!

Shower Repair
Price was very reasonable, job was done correctly, water temperature issue was resolved. We had multiple people come in to the house before and did not fix the issue, Cheap Plumber was able to correct the situation. We are happy with the service and would definitely call again if we ever run into any issue.

Drain Work
I had to get the water service line replaced because of the new smart water meter requirement. Got quotes on a monday. Went with Max and although I was a little concerned about the lack of reviews on Homestars, I went with my gut and my gut was right. The work was done by wednesday (in by 8:30 out by 3:30). Max and his guys were punctual, careful about maintaining site cleanliness and very respectful. His price was the best of three quotes and he is honest and straightforward in his communication. His follow up once the job was complete was great. I highly recommend Cheap Plumber for any plumbing issue you may have and I am happy with my new water pressure!

Drain Work and Sump Pump Installation
I was one of six houses flooded on my street. All of us had plumbing work done, and I heard only good reports about the work and price.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Max to my friends, expecting they would get the same positive results.

Cracked Soil Stack
Our 98 year old cast iron soil pipe needed replacing. Replacing it was tricky as we had a newly renovated kitchen and basement bathroom and the stack was embedded between the outside brick wall and the new tiles and cabinets. Max and his crew did an amazing job of replacing the stack with only minimal damage to the basement bathroom and none to the kitchen. He then had a crew come in to restore the wall, tiles, etc in the basement. The team is hardworking, trustworthy, and professional. This is the second job they have done for us and both times we were more than satisfied. Ps. They are also just really nice people. Worth every penny.

Drain Work and Sump Pump Installation
Andrew did a great job fixing our drain. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and very patient with my questions. He quickly identified the problem (tree roots in drain pipe) and worked hard on snaking the tough roots until he was satisfied everything was clear. We were so lucky to have his help. Thanks Max and Andrew!
