Plumber in Leslieville

What we see in Leslieville homes

• Shallow, cramped basements with drains running just under the floor
• Drains or water lines shared between semi-detached and row houses
• Original clay sewer pipes and cast iron under the floor
• Water services that may still be lead or galvanized

Plumbing for underpinning and basement lowering

Lowering a basement means lowering the drains too. We work alongside your contractor to:

• Camera the existing drain and plan the new depth and slope
• Replace the under-floor drains and reconnect to the sewer pipe
• Install a backwater valve and sump pit at the new floor level
• Rough in a new bathroom and laundry
• Bring in a new water service while the front wall is exposed

Semis and shared lines

On some older semis and row houses, plumbing is shared with the neighbours or runs through a party wall. Before we cut or reroute anything, we confirm where each line goes, so a repair on your side doesn’t leave next door without water.

Storm season

Older east-end streets have seen their share of basement flooding. If your basement is finished, or about to be, a backwater valve is one of the most worthwhile additions you can make.

Laneway and garden suites

Toronto now allows laneway suites and garden suites on many residential lots, and Leslieville’s laneways have plenty of them. A new suite needs its own water supply and a drain connection, usually run from the main house underground. We plan the route, size the water line so neither home loses pressure, and make sure the new sewer connection has the slope and cleanouts it needs.
