Our Plumbers in Sonoma Heights

Homes in Sonoma Heights

Large two-storey detached homes dominate, many backing onto green space along the Humber River tributaries. Basements are often walk-outs or look-outs, finished as family rooms, gyms or second suites. The original plumbing is modern but reaching the age when water heaters, sump pumps, faucets and toilet parts all start to fail around the same time.

What brings people to call

• Sump pits on ravine lots that run often after rain and in spring.
• Walk-out basements with long exterior wall runs that can freeze.
• Ensuite renovations replacing jetted tubs and original shower valves.
• Water softeners due for replacement or service.
• Kitchen upgrades with new sinks, faucets and gas ranges.

Ravine lots and groundwater

Homes backing onto valley land sit on a slope where water moves through the soil toward the ravine. Foundation drains feed the sump pit, and in wet springs a pump may cycle every few minutes. A worn pump, a check valve that slams or a frozen discharge can all fail here at the worst time. A battery backup and a yearly test are good insurance; our testing guide walks through it.

Renovation work

We do a lot of ensuite work in Sonoma Heights: removing jetted tubs, moving drains for freestanding tubs, installing new shower valves and setting new toilets. Kitchens are another focus, with sink and faucet installs and new gas lines for ranges.
