Our Plumbers in Crestwood-Springfarm

Houses in Crestwood-Springfarm

Side-splits and back-splits, plus two-storey detached houses on established streets near Bathurst Street and Centre Street, with townhouse complexes nearby. Most have copper supply, cast-iron stacks or a mix of cast iron and ABS, and basements that were finished long ago with whatever plumbing the owner of the day chose.

What we find in these homes

• Cast-iron stacks with cracks or rusted-out spots, sometimes visible as stains in basement walls.
• Old basement bathrooms draining through sewage ejectors or poorly vented lines.
• Townhouse plumbing shared between units, which needs care around neighbours.
• Older gate valves on the main line that will not fully close fully.
• Sewer backups during heavy storms in homes with older connections.

Cast iron that needs replacing

Cast iron lasts a long time but not forever. In houses of this age, we see cracking along the top of horizontal runs and rust-through where water has sat. A stack can be replaced in sections with ABS and approved couplings. We support the remaining cast iron properly before cutting, since a heavy stack can drop if its weight is not taken.

Townhouses and condominium corporations

If your townhouse is part of a condominium corporation, some plumbing may be common element and the corporation's responsibility. Check your declaration before starting. We fix what is in-unit and can describe a common-element problem for management.
