PLUMBING · PIPE REPAIR
From a single pinhole leak to a full home repipe, Caspian handles emergency repairs, copper and PEX repipes, lead service line replacement, and cast-iron stack swaps in Toronto's pre-war homes. Licensed plumbers, code-compliant work, written warranty on every joint we touch.
Toronto's housing stock is older than most people realize — a lot of homes are still running on copper, galvanized, or even lead pipe from before the war. Caspian repairs what can be repaired, and replaces what needs to be replaced. Honestly, both ways.
Frozen split, joint failure, or unexpected rupture — we shut off, dry out, and rebuild the line same-day, then pressure-test before we leave.
Common in homes with aggressive water chemistry. We diagnose whether you've got one bad section or a system-wide problem heading for a repipe.
If your home was built before 1955, your water line from the city main may still be lead. We replace it end-to-end and coordinate with Toronto Water.
Pre-war homes in Cabbagetown, the Annex, and Roncesvalles still run original cast-iron drain stacks. We swap them for modern PVC or ABS — clean, sealed, and quiet.
When repair-after-repair stops making sense, a whole-home repipe in PEX-A is faster, cheaper, and lasts longer than spot-fixing aging copper.
Rust-colored water at the tap and low pressure mean the inside of your galvanized pipe has corroded shut. We convert the system to copper or PEX, room-by-room or full home.
There's no single best pipe — only the best pipe for what you're doing. We carry and install all four, and we'll tell you straight which one belongs in your project.
Long-lasting and the standard for water supply in custom builds and high-end renovations. Type L for under-slab and concealed runs, Type M for accessible supply lines. Soldered joints, professional-looking, holds up for 50+ years when the water chemistry cooperates.
Flexible, freeze-resistant, and faster to install for whole-home repipes. PEX-A (Uponor) is our go-to — fewer fittings, expansion-style connections, and a 25-year manufacturer warranty. The honest best-value choice for most full-home repipes.
Black plastic used for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems — sinks, tubs, toilets, and stacks. Lightweight, fast to install, solvent-welded joints that last the life of the building. Code-compliant across Ontario for residential DWV work.
Replacement-grade cast iron for heritage homes maintaining original stack integrity. Quieter than PVC, lasts 80+ years, and the right call for designated historic properties where the bylaw or owner requires it. We do both no-hub and bell-and-spigot.
A single leak is a repair job. A pattern of leaks is a system telling you it's done. Here are the four signs we tell our customers to take seriously.
If you've patched two or more pinhole leaks on the same system in the last year, you don't have a leak problem — you have a pipe problem. The next leak is coming, you just don't know where yet.
If your home was built in the 1950s or earlier and the service line was never replaced, you're almost certainly drinking through lead. The City of Toronto cost-shares the replacement — we handle the work and the paperwork.
Orange or brown water at any tap on first draw is galvanized pipe rusting from the inside out. Pressure drops next, then leaks. Converting to copper or PEX is the only real fix.
Original cast-iron stacks in pre-war homes have a 75–100 year lifespan. Visible rust scaling, hairline cracks, or persistent sewer smell in the basement means the stack is failing internally. Replace it before it fails into your foundation.
