Water shut-off valve installation is a serious matter. Some pipes go well with some shut-off valves — but some don’t. A good plumber knows it’s essential to pair the right valve with the right pipes. Failing to do so will result in a poorly fitting connection that leads to severe water damage due to leakages that the valve cannot hold back. Cheap Plumber offers water valve replacement in Toronto when you need it.
Many older dwellings in Toronto still have original pipes that are typically constructed out of lead or copper and feature antiquated main shut-off valves. Over time, these valves can break down and develop leaks and operational difficulties due to age or corrosion. Replacing these valves isn’t a DIY job. You need a licensed company like Cheap Plumber for water valve installation.
You can count on a steady supply of water to your residence when the public lines are working correctly. Most plumbing systems feature a shut-off valve on the mainline, which is essential since water runs at high pressure and is unpredictable. The main shut-off valve is positioned under the water hose connection. It prevents water from flowing from the meter to your home.
It would be optimal if you locked your shut-off valve to turn off the water supply to your residence’s plumbing system. You’ll find it helpful in situations like the following:
You know you need a shut-off valve replacement when you notice drops of water dripping from your drains even after completely closing the main shut-off valve.
According to expert plumbers, you should replace the water shut-off valves when they develop problems. Repairing the fixture once it is damaged is very difficult, and there is no guarantee that it will function efficiently afterward.
A traditional water shut-off valve joins the supplier pipe and distributor pipe so that it’s easier to safeguard against spillage or leakage. You can install shut-off valves in many places within your home like the shower, laundry room, toilet, bathtub, or kitchen sink. When choosing shut-off valve replacement in Toronto, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes with obtaining protection against costly water damage.
It’s time to consider a shut-off valve replacement when you notice water flow issues like water dripping even after you completely close the shut-off valve.
According to the experts, homeowners should replace their water shut-off valves when these devices start exhibiting issues. Repairing the fixture after it’s already damaged is a hit-or-miss fix since there’s no guarantee the fixed device will last long term.
You can expect to pay between $10 and $30 for a shut-off valve, but installation expenses can vary substantially depending on valve type and complexity. Installation usually costs between $135 and $350 depending on your region and the valve type. When getting multiple valves, expect to pay between $600 and $850 for installations.

Before we replace the valve, the water supply must be shut off by the city. You can arrange this by calling 311. If the city’s curb shut-off valve is not working properly, it must be repaired first. The valve and pipe must both be replaced if your home has lead pipes.

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.
We have had a great experience with Cheap Plumber. They are reasonably priced, offer good advice, and do a quick and professional job. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing services for their kitchen.
Very satisfied with the quality of work. Very nice gentleman. Punctual. Took the time to explain everything to me. Would highly recommend them to anyone. I will call them again if I need work done.
We got a fast quote on email and a quick appointment slot for our small job. The two guys who came to do the job were efficient and pleasant. Exactly what we had hoped, a small job done well and quickly.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
