In this video, Oxford Mechanical responds to an urgent repair on a 10-inch watermain. After quickly locating the significant leak, we coordinated with the City of Toronto to perform a water shutdown from the street’s shut-off valve box. Once the water was turned off, we adjusted the 10-inch repair clamp to fit perfectly in the tight space and carefully cleaned the damaged area for a secure installation.

With the area prepped, we installed the modified clamp and performed a thorough water test to ensure the repair was successful. This fix is a temporary solution, as the damaged connection requires a custom-made replacement that will take 2-3 weeks to fabricate. In the meantime, the clamp will effectively serve its purpose.

This situation underscores the importance of regular plumbing inspections to catch potential issues before they escalate. Oxford Mechanical offers bi-annual and annual inspections to keep your system running smoothly. Contact us today to schedule a free inspection and ensure your plumbing is ready for anything.
