Why Lead Pipe Replacement Is Critical

Lead was once a standard material in older plumbing systems. While durable at the time, we now know the long-term health risks linked to lead exposure — especially for children and pregnant individuals. Even minor contact can lead to serious issues over time.

That’s why local authorities and plumbing experts strongly urge homeowners to prioritize lead service line replacement. Whether your property is fully lead or partially upgraded, it’s important to have a professional evaluate your setup and recommend the safest path forward.

Our process is designed to be thorough, efficient, and minimally invasive. At POM Plumbing, we combine experienced technicians with advanced equipment to ensure your lead water pipe replacement meets all municipal and health standards.

Our Replacement Process Includes:

1. Property Inspection & Material Identification
   We use specialized tools to verify material type and locate all segments of lead piping.
2. Project Planning & Permit Handling
   Our team works with the city and your schedule to ensure full compliance and minimal disruption.
3. Excavation or Access Preparation
   Small access points are created to reach lead lines without damaging surrounding property.
4. Line Replacement & Connection
   We remove and replace all lead sections with safe, modern materials approved by building codes.
5. Post-Installation Testing
   Your system is tested for proper flow, and we ensure everything runs safely and smoothly.

Our approach is trusted by hundreds of homeowners who’ve chosen POM Plumbing over other lead pipe replacement companies thanks to our transparency, professionalism, and care.

Health and Safety: The Real Cost of Keeping Lead Pipes

When weighing the cost to replace lead pipes in home, it’s important to consider more than just the installation fee. Lead exposure has been linked to neurological and developmental issues, especially in younger family members. Prolonged exposure can also impact cardiovascular and kidney function.

Even if your lines only contain partial lead segments, they can still leach harmful substances. That’s why lead pipe removal is a crucial step in protecting your household and futureproofing your property.

City of Toronto Lead Water Service Line Replacement Program

The City of Toronto Lead Pipe Replacement Program encourages homeowners to replace private lead service lines and may assist with permits or coordination for partial upgrades. Residents can also apply for testing or inspection through the city’s Water Services Department to determine the need for lead water service line replacement. POM Plumbing ensures your replacement meets all municipal safety and quality standards — from permit handling to final water flow testing — giving Toronto homeowners peace of mind and long-term reliability.

Additional Services: Lead Drain Pipe Replacement

While most conversations focus on supply lines, old lead drain pipe replacement is also a service worth considering. Lead was often used in vertical and horizontal drainage stacks in older Toronto homes. Over time, these lines can corrode, crack, or develop leaks.

Our experienced team is trained to upgrade drainage systems just as effectively. Whether it’s vertical waste stacks or horizontal under-floor lines, we’ll ensure your home meets today’s standards for safety and performance.
