The houses

Around York Mills Road and Bayview, and down toward Hoggs Hollow, homes range from 1930s and 40s Colonial and Tudor styles to postwar ranch houses and new builds. Lots are deep. Many houses sit well back from the road, so both the drain out and the water pipe in are long runs.

Typical work

  • Root clearing and camera inspection on long clay laterals
  • Replacing old cast iron stacks during kitchen and bath renovations
  • Large-capacity or dual water heaters for big households
  • Sump pumps on lots that slope toward the ravine
  • Outdoor taps and irrigation backflow devices

From the counter

Layers of renovation

A York Mills house may have had three kitchens in its life. Each renovation left some old pipe behind: a galvanized run here, a capped drain there, a bathroom vented into the wrong place. When something leaks, part of the job is figuring out which era the pipe came from. We trace lines carefully before cutting.

Ravine lots: Toronto has rules for work near ravines and protected trees. For digging near large trees, check what the City requires first.

Groundwater

Homes on the lower part of the slope can see seepage in spring. A working sump pump and downspouts discharging well away from the house matter more here than on flat streets.

Getting access

Long driveways and gated properties are common. Tell us where to park the van and where the basement door is. If the cleanout sits in a finished room, clear a path and lay down a sheet. Our crew wears shoe covers, but cables bring water back with them.

Questions

Can you find a sewer line on a long lot?

Yes. A camera with a locator lets us mark the line and depth along its length.

Do you service irrigation backflow devices?

We install and repair them. Testing requirements depend on the property type; check current City rules.
