Before you spend anything on a lead pipe, you need to know whether you actually have one. The only way to know for certain is a physical inspection — not a mail-in water test, not a neighbourhood estimate. An inspector looking at the pipe at your meter.

We provide free service line inspections across the GTA. We identify the pipe material, assess its condition, document our findings in writing, and give you a straight answer. If replacement is warranted, we'll include a fixed-price quote. If it's not, we'll tell you that too — and you owe us nothing.

How It Works

We come to you

One of our licensed plumbers visits your property at a scheduled time. The inspection is focused on the service line entry at your water meter — inside your basement or mechanical room.

Material confirmation

Lead is identified by its dull grey colour, soft surface (a key scratches it to a bright silver), and lack of magnetic response. Copper is orange-brown. Galvanized steel is grey and magnetic. Plastic is smooth and may be grey, white, or blue.

Written report

You receive a written record of what we found, including photos. If lead is confirmed, we include a fixed-price replacement quote. If the pipe is not lead, the report says so clearly.

Water testing referral

If you want lab confirmation of your water lead level, we'll point you to accredited testing labs and explain how to collect a proper first-draw sample. A one-time water test typically costs $30–$60 through an accredited Ontario lab.

An inspection takes 30 minutes and costs you nothing. If you have lead pipes, you'll know exactly what needs to be done and what it will cost. If you don't, you'll have written documentation of a clean bill of health. Call us and we'll get you on the schedule. Toronto Lead Pipe Solutions is ready to help.

Questions & Answers

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. We come out, inspect the service line at the meter, and tell you exactly what material is there. No charge, no obligation.

Can't I just test my water instead?

Water testing tells you how much lead is in the water, not whether the pipe is lead. You can have a lead pipe with a low first-draw reading (if the water was recently flushed) and a non-lead pipe with an elevated reading (from old brass fittings inside). A physical inspection gives a definitive answer about the pipe.

What if I'm not sure where my meter is?

The water meter is almost always in the basement or crawl space, near where the water enters the house. If you can't locate it, we'll find it when we arrive — it's part of the inspection.

What happens after the inspection if I have lead?

You get a written report and a fixed-price replacement quote. You decide whether to proceed — no pressure. If you do proceed, we handle permits, scheduling, and the City of Toronto program application.
