Plumber in Midtown Toronto

Homes in Midtown

Around Davisville, Chaplin Estates, Lawrence Park and the side streets off Yonge and Eglinton, many detached and semi-detached houses were built between the wars. They were built well, but in places the plumbing is now close to a hundred years old:

• Clay sewer pipes with roots from the mature trees above
• Cast iron stacks and under-floor drains
• Original galvanized supply piping, sometimes partly replaced with copper
• Older water services that may include lead

Basement renovations

Finishing or lowering a basement is the moment to fix what’s under the floor. Before the drywall goes up, we can:

• Camera the main drain and replace damaged sections
• Install a backwater valve and a sump pump
• Rough in a new bathroom, laundry room or wet bar
• Replace the water service and main shut-off

Doing this before finishes go in costs far less than opening a finished floor later.

Midtown condos

The towers around Yonge and Eglinton bring a different kind of call: suite leaks, clogged kitchen lines and water heater or fan coil connections. We coordinate with property managers and book elevators so the job runs smoothly.

Adding an ensuite to an older house

Many Midtown owners add a second-floor ensuite to a house that was built with one bathroom. The questions are always the same: can the existing stack take the new fixtures, where will the vent go, and will there be enough water pressure upstairs? We answer those before the contractor frames the walls, which avoids moving a toilet or tub after the fact.
