The neighbourhood
Detached two-storey homes and some semis along winding streets, with parks and ravines nearby. Many homes have been renovated inside, often kitchens first, then bathrooms. Original plumbing is copper supply and ABS drains with cast iron in some stacks, and finished basements with family rooms and occasionally a second kitchen.
Common Beverley Glen work
- Kitchen sink, faucet and dishwasher installs as kitchens are redone.
- Bathroom renovations, including shower valve replacements and new toilets.
- Water heater swaps, often ending old rental agreements.
- Main line clearing where older trees reach the lateral.
- Copper pinhole repairs and short repipes.

Kosher kitchens and double sinks
Many kitchens in Beverley Glen and the surrounding Thornhill area are designed with two sinks, sometimes two dishwashers, to keep meat and dairy separate. Each sink needs its own trap, venting and supply, and two dishwashers double the hot water and drain load. When we plan these, we size the drain and vent so neither sink gurgles when the other empties.
Middle-aged plumbing
Thirty to forty years in, copper has been through a lot of hard water. Pinholes appear first near the water heater and at elbows. Original supply valves seize. Floor drain traps in basements dry out and let sewer gas in. None of this is dramatic, but it adds up. A full walk-through every few years catches it early.

Questions from callers
Can you plumb two sinks and two dishwashers?
Yes, with proper drain sizing and separate venting.
Should I replace old copper proactively?
Only if leaks are appearing. Otherwise maintain and inspect.
What causes a sewer odour in the basement?
Often a dry floor drain trap. Add water and see if it clears.
