It is important for customers to understand that there are two different types of warranties:

The manufacturer’s warranty covers plumbing parts, such as in the case of defects or unexpected deterioration. This kind of warranty varies both in terms of items covered and length of coverage. For this reason, Mister Plumber highly recommends home owners to review the manufacturer’s warranty before purchasing any plumbing products.

The contractor’s warranty is a bit different in scope.

Instead of parts, the contractor’s warranty covers plumbing services. This kind of warranty varies depending on the plumbing infrastructure. As with ours, contractor warranties have longer periods of coverage for more primary plumbing services, such as installations of underground drain and sewer infrastructure.

Do you have lead in your tap water?

If you’re concerned about the possibility of lead contamination in your tap water, keep an eye out for these potential sources of lead:

  • Lead water service pipe connecting your home to the municipal water supply
  • Homes built before 1955
  • Household plumbing fixtures with high lead content
  • Lead-based plumbing solder

Remember, the longer water stays in contact with any of these sources, the higher the amount of lead that may seep into your tap water.

Pro tip: You can test your tap water for lead and receive instructions at a laboratory or call the Ministry of the Environment at 1-800-565-4923.

How to identify a lead water service pipe in your home on your own

If you’re concerned about whether or not you have a lead water service pipe in your home, there are a few things you can look out for. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to identify a lead water service pipe in your home:

  1. Locate your water meter: Your water meter is usually located on the outside of your house, and it can help you identify where the meter’s located in the basement. If it’s on the side of the house, the meter is usually located on that particular side.
  2. Identify the water service line: Once you’ve located the water service line, you’ll want to do a visual inspection of the service type. There are five different types of water services that can come into your home: copper, PVC plastic, lead, half-inch alloyed lead, and galvanized pipe.
  3. Conduct a scratch test: If you’re not sure if the service line is made of copper, you can conduct a scratch test. Use a dull surface like a coin or loonie to scratch the surface of the pipe. Copper will scratch easily and become shiny, while lead will remain dull in color and not scratch easily.
  4. Be careful when conducting the scratch test: Be sure to scratch the surface of the pipe in the right location, which is the part of the water service between the main valve and the wall. Don’t do the scratch test on the part of the water service that’s coming from the wall.
  5. Don’t handle old pipes roughly: Some of these water services are very old and fragile, so be careful when handling them.
  6. Ask for help if you’re unsure: If you’re still unsure about the type of service line you have, call a professional plumber or the City of Hamilton for an inspection.

If you need more clarity, you can watch this video demonstration.

FAQs

How much lead is allowed in drinking water in Ontario?

The Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) for lead in regulated drinking water systems is 0.010 milligrams per litre (10 micrograms per litre). This level is based on average concentrations of lead in water consumed over a long time and long-term effects of lead.

It’s worth noting that short-term consumption of concentrations above the MAC does not necessarily cause risk to health. However, certain groups of people such as children six years of age and under, pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy are more susceptible to the harmful effects of lead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to put in a waterline?

The cost of installing a waterline can vary depending on several factors, such as the length of the line, the type of pipe used, and the complexity of the installation. To get an accurate cost estimate, it’s best to contact us at Mister Plumber for a detailed assessment of your specific project requirements.

Should I replace my water lines?

Deciding whether to replace your water lines depends on several factors, including the age and condition of the existing lines, the presence of leaks or frequent repairs, and the material of the pipes. If you’re experiencing recurring issues with your water lines, it’s advisable to consult with our experts at Mister Plumber. We can assess the condition of your water lines and provide professional guidance on whether replacement is necessary.

What size water line should I run to my house?

Determining the appropriate size of the water line for your house depends on factors such as the number of fixtures, the distance from the water source, and the expected water demand. For most residential properties, common sizes for water lines are 3/4″ and 1″. However, it’s recommended to consult with our professionals at Mister Plumber, as the specific requirements may vary based on your property’s unique needs.

How long does it take to install a waterline?

The duration to install a waterline can vary depending on several factors, such as the length of the line, the complexity of the installation, and any necessary permits or inspections. Simple installations may take a few hours, while more extensive projects could take several days. Our team at Mister Plumber will provide you with a timeline estimate based on your specific project requirements.

What is the best pipe for a waterline?

The choice of the best pipe for a waterline depends on several factors, including the water quality, local regulations, and budget. Common materials used for waterlines include copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Each material has its own advantages and considerations. At Mister Plumber, we can help determine the most suitable pipe material for your specific needs and provide professional installation services.

How deep to dig a waterline?

The depth at which a waterline should be buried depends on local building codes, frost line requirements, and the type of pipe being used. In general, waterlines are typically buried at a minimum depth of 18 to 24 inches to protect them from freezing temperatures and potential damage. However, specific depth requirements may vary based on your location. It’s essential to consult with our experts at Mister Plumber to ensure compliance with local regulations and to determine the appropriate depth for your waterline installation.
