Water service line and galvanized pipe replacement
Pressure that's dropped for years, rusty water on start-up, an upstairs tap reduced to a trickle: classic signs of a galvanized pipe corroded shut from the inside.
Areas we serve
NDG is mostly brick duplexes and triplexes built between 1905 and 1935, with basements that were often finished long ago. A lead or galvanized water service and an original cast-iron stack are the norm rather than the exception, especially north of Sherbrooke Street.
The area around Somerled and Fielding has somewhat larger single-family homes from the 1920s–40s, with basements less often finished but stacks just as old. We work on both profiles: diagnosis, water service replacement and stack repair.
Pressure that's dropped for years, rusty water on start-up, an upstairs tap reduced to a trickle: classic signs of a galvanized pipe corroded shut from the inside.
A sewer smell in the basement, a damp stain tracking the stack, a slight sag at the base: century-old cast iron cracks from the inside before it shows on the outside.
Every thaw, the floor drain backs up before the weeping drain can keep up: a sign of a missing check valve or a foundation drain at the end of its life.
A new water heater plumbed onto rusted galvanized pipe will never deliver its full flow: we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
