Our Plumbers in Concord

Concord's homes

The older residential streets in Concord, west of Dufferin and around Highway 7 and Keele, have postwar and 1960s homes on wide lots. Many have been extended or rebuilt. Newer infill and the Concord West area bring townhomes, and condo towers are rising near the rail corridor and the subway line. A call in one of those buildings is very different from a call in a bungalow with a fifty-year-old lateral.

Plumbing issues by house type

• Older bungalows: cast-iron stacks, galvanized remnants, rooted clay laterals, and floor drains that back up in storms.
• Rebuilt homes on old lots: new plumbing inside, but the old sewer lateral sometimes left in place. A camera inspection settles whether it needs replacing.
• Townhouses: shared walls and stacked bathrooms, where a leak upstairs can show up next door.
• Condos: in-suite fixtures, shut-offs and small water heaters or fan coils; building management controls the risers.

Water and sewers

Concord shares York Region water with the rest of Vaughan. The Don watershed tributaries and the lower ground near the rail lines mean some streets drain slowly in big storms. Older homes with weeping tiles connected to the sewer are the most at risk. If you have had even one backup, a backwater valve belongs on your list.

Work we do often here

Main line cleaning and camera inspections on older lots; repiping of galvanized lines in houses being renovated; water heater swaps; and in-suite repairs for condo owners near the new transit stations.
