Achievements of Superior Plumbing

Superior Plumbing handled a tricky lead pipe replacement in our older home. Dealing with lead is scary, but Rob did not rush or cut corners. He realized he needed a specific transition coupling that wasn’t standard for my older service line, but he sourced it the same morning and the new PEX lines function way better than the old originals. Very satisfied with the expert trade work.

The lead pipe replacement in our home was more complex than initially thought because of the foundation entry point. Aaron took the time to assess everything properly, explained our options honestly, and we chose the most cost-effective trenchless solution. He didn’t have the specific pulling cable for our soil type on him, but he went back to the shop and returned within the hour to get it done right. Refreshingly honest company.

This is our third time using Superior in Mississauga. Latest was the full lead pipe replacement. Mike was knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. The cost was a bit higher than a simple repair, but the quality of the new plumbing justified every dollar. He even replaced our old meter valve for free because it was starting to seize. Consistency like this is why I keep coming back.

We realized we had lead service lines right before a big family gathering. Kevin managed to fit us in on short notice and replaced the main line in time for our guests to have safe water. I was beyond relieved. He was missing a specialized shut-off tool initially, but he called a colleague to drop it off within 20 minutes so he could finish. Very reasonable rate compared to two other companies I called. They really came through.

The Importance of Lead Pipe Replacement

Lead pipes were commonly used in plumbing systems until the mid-20th century. However, as awareness of lead poisoning has grown, replacing these pipes has become a top priority for homeowners and businesses alike. If your property still has lead pipes, it’s time to consider a professional lead pipe replacement service to ensure the safety of your family and compliance with modern regulations.

Health Risks of Lead Pipes

Lead-contaminated water can lead to severe health problems, especially for young children and pregnant women. Some of the key risks include:

Neurological damage – Lead exposure can negatively affect brain development in children, leading to learning disabilities and behavioural issues.
Cardiovascular diseases – Studies have shown that prolonged lead exposure increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
Kidney damage – Lead can accumulate in the kidneys over time, leading to long-term damage.

Replacing old lead pipes eliminates these risks and improves overall water quality, ensuring clean and safe drinking water for your household.

Signs You Need Lead Pipe Replacement

Not sure if your home still has lead pipes? Here are some signs that indicate it’s time for a replacement:

Your house was built before 1980 and has never had a plumbing upgrade.
You notice a metallic taste in your water.
Frequent plumbing issues such as leaks or discoloration in water.

If you experience any of these signs, contact a lead pipe replacement specialist as soon as possible. We will conduct a professional test to detect elevated lead levels in your water.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m currently pregnant—should I rush to replace lead pipes now, or can it wait until after the baby is born?
