Pipe Leaks in Aurora Homes — What Midtown Plumbing Sees Every Week

The type of leak found in an Aurora home depends almost entirely on when it was built. Each era has different pipe materials — and different failure patterns.

Pre-1940s Old Aurora Village

Heritage homes in Old Aurora along Wellington Street and Yonge Street date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. These properties may have original galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain lines that are now well beyond their service life. Galvanized steel at this age has typically lost most of its interior bore to rust scaling — producing low water pressure, discoloured water, and unpredictable joint failures.

1960s–70s Aurora Heights

The Aurora Heights neighbourhood was developed through the 1960s and 1970s. Homes here have galvanized supply lines that are now 50–60 years old. This is the age range where galvanized pipe develops interior corrosion severe enough to cause sudden joint failures. A professional supply assessment identifies the sections most at risk before a failure occurs.

1990s–2000s Bayview East & Newer

Later Aurora subdivisions along Bayview Avenue and east of Leslie Street use copper or PEX supply. Copper lines from the early 1990s are now 30–35 years old — approaching the age when pitting corrosion from York Region's water supply begins producing pinhole leaks inside walls and below floors.

A Real Aurora Leak Call

When the Bill Rises But Nothing Looks Wet

A homeowner on Murray Drive in Aurora Heights noticed the water bill increasing steadily over three months with no fixtures dripping or running. Pressure isolation testing isolated the leak to the north wing of the supply system. Thermal imaging found a pinhole in the ¾″ copper supply inside the main-floor interior wall — the home was built in 1967 with galvanized originally, supply replaced in copper during a renovation in 1989. Repaired in one visit.

This is a common pattern in Aurora Heights homes — older properties that had galvanized supply replaced with copper now have copper lines that are themselves aging past the point where pitting corrosion begins. A water bill that climbs month after month with no visible cause warrants professional investigation before the damage behind the surface becomes extensive.

Common Questions

Leak Detection in Aurora — FAQ

Does Midtown Plumbing charge a travel fee for leak detection in Aurora?
No travel fee for Aurora. The same flat rate applies Monday through Sunday — no overtime charges for evenings or weekends. Call 647-778-9411.
Why are galvanized supply lines in Aurora Heights homes a leak risk?
Galvanized steel supply lines installed in the 1960s and 1970s are now 50–60 years old. Interior rust scaling has typically closed off much of the bore at this age. Joint failure can be sudden and significant — a professional assessment before failure is far less disruptive than an emergency repair.
What are the signs of a hidden leak in an Aurora home?
A water bill that rises month over month, a damp or musty smell in a finished basement, warm patches on a concrete slab floor, or a water meter that keeps moving after all taps are off.
Can Midtown Plumbing detect a leak without demolishing walls in Aurora?
In most cases, yes. Pressure isolation testing narrows the leak to a specific pipe section. Thermal imaging then confirms the exact location inside the wall or ceiling. The repair area is determined before any surface is opened.
Is same-day service available for leak detection in Aurora on weekends?
Yes. Midtown Plumbing operates Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM, at the same flat rate with no overtime surcharge. Most Aurora calls receive same-day service. Call 647-778-9411.
