Townhouse complexes

Leaks between units, shared stacks and condo rules require coordination. We work with management to plan shut-offs and access, and keep work within your unit where possible.

• Know your corporation’s rules for plumbing responsibility.

Bungalows

Post-war bungalows have the familiar clay laterals and cast iron stacks. Roots and corrosion are the main issues. Clearing, camera inspection and section repairs are typical.

• Basement flooding protection is worth considering.

Fixture upgrades

Older toilets, faucets and shower valves are replaced with modern, water-saving models. We match parts to the space and plumbing.

• Shut-off valves are replaced at the same time.

Water heaters and pressure

Many homes in the area have older water heaters and some have low pressure from galvanized or narrow service pipes. We check pressure and flow, replace corroded pipe and size water heaters for the household.

• Rental tanks are common; check your contract.

Leak detection

Slow leaks in townhouses can affect neighbours. Meter checks, moisture meters and careful opening find the source with minimal damage.

• Leak sensors near appliances are inexpensive insurance.

Sherway-area bungalows

The bungalows west of Sherway have the same root-prone clay laterals as nearby Alderwood.

• Autumn backups and slow floor drains are the usual signs.
• Root cutting and camera inspection guide repairs.
