Are you rebuilding, adding a suite or simply keeping an original North York bungalow in good shape? Either way, the water line and sewer connection under your lawn matter more than most people expect.

We offer water service upgrades, sewer repair and replacement and basement flood protection across North York, from Willowdale and Don Mills to Downsview and York Mills.

Water service upgrades for rebuilds and suites

A new two-storey home or a secondary suite uses far more water than the bungalow it replaced. If the original service stays, pressure can drop when two showers run at once. We size and install a larger service, often trenchless, and coordinate with the City.

Sewer inspections and replacement

Before a rebuild, a camera inspection shows whether the sewer lateral can be reused. For existing homes, it explains repeated backups. We show you the footage and recommend the right repair.

Flood protection with City rebates

North York homes qualify for the Toronto subsidy, which pays 80% of eligible costs for backwater valves, sump pumps and related work. We handle the permit and inspection and prepare your paperwork.

What North York homeowners call us for

Housing in North York

Many North York streets were built with postwar bungalows, and a growing number are being replaced by larger two-storey homes. New homes, additions and secondary suites often need a larger water service and a new sewer connection, while original homes may still have aging laterals and weeping tiles tied into the sewer.

FAQ

North York plumbing questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, give us a call.

Do I need a bigger water line for a new home or addition?

Often, yes. More bathrooms, a larger kitchen or a secondary suite can outgrow an original service. We size the new line for how the home will be used.

Should I inspect the sewer line before a rebuild?

It is a smart step. A camera inspection before construction shows whether the lateral can be reused or should be replaced while the site is open.

Is North York covered by the Toronto flooding subsidy?

Yes. North York is part of the City of Toronto, so the City's Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program applies.
