Emergency Water Line Repair Toronto

Burst pipe? No water pressure? We respond fast, 7 days a week, to get your water back on and stop damage before it spreads.

A burst water line, a sudden loss of pressure, or water flooding through a basement wall can't wait until the next available appointment. When your water supply fails, you need someone on-site fast — someone who understands emergency permit protocols, can diagnose the failure quickly, and has the equipment and materials to make a repair the same day.

We respond to emergency water line calls seven days a week across the GTA. We prioritize emergency calls, work to get water restored as quickly as possible, and handle emergency permit coordination with the city when the work requires it.

Signs You Need This Service

  • Complete loss of water pressure or no water at all
  • Visible water bubbling up through the front yard or street
  • Water entering the basement without an obvious interior source
  • A loud hissing sound from underground near the water service entry
  • The water meter is spinning even when all interior fixtures are off
  • A sudden spike in your water consumption according to Toronto Water's portal

What's Included

  • Seven-days-a-week emergency response across Toronto and the GTA
  • Same-day dispatch and on-site diagnosis
  • Emergency permit coordination with the city when required
  • Burst line repair or full section replacement depending on severity
  • Temporary water supply or bypass arrangement if permanent repair requires multiple days
  • Pressure testing after repair to confirm watertight restoration
  • Full documentation of the repair for your records

How It Works

01

Call immediately

Call the number at the top of this page. Tell us the situation — we'll ask a few quick questions to determine the likely cause and dispatch a crew.

02

Locate the failure

Our crew finds the break point. Burst pipes often show water surfacing above the failure point. Pinhole leaks may require listening equipment. We identify the exact location before digging.

03

Assess repair vs. replace

A localized burst on an otherwise sound line may be repairable with a section replacement. A line that has multiple failures, severe corrosion, or is made of lead or old galvanized steel is a candidate for full replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment on the spot.

04

Emergency permit if required

Some emergency repairs can proceed under a post-emergency permit — the work is done first and the permit filed immediately after. For others, an emergency permit is issued same-day. We know which applies and handle the paperwork.

05

Water restored

The repair or replacement is made, pressure-tested, and your water service is restored. We don't leave a job site with the water off.

If your water is off, your basement is wet, or you can hear a pipe running in the walls, call us right now. We'll get someone to you as fast as possible. Toronto Lead Pipe Solutions is ready to help.

Questions & Answers

How quickly do you respond to emergency calls?
We aim for same-day response on all emergency calls across Toronto and the GTA. Response time depends on current crew availability and your location. Call the number at the top of this page.
Do emergency repairs cost more?
We don't charge an emergency surcharge. You'll get the same flat-rate pricing you'd get for a scheduled job. Materials and scope determine the price, not the time of day you call.
Should I shut off my water before calling?
If you can locate your main shutoff valve (usually near the water meter in your basement), turning it off will stop the flow and prevent further damage. If you can't find it or it won't close, we'll handle it when we arrive.
What if the break is on the city side of my property line?
Breaks on the city's side of the property line are Toronto Water's responsibility to repair. We can help you report it and, in some cases, assist with the excavation coordination. Call 311 for city-side breaks and call us simultaneously — we'll help you navigate it.
