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.

Questions from callers
Can cast iron be partly replaced?
Yes, in sections with approved couplings, if the rest is sound.
Who fixes plumbing in my townhouse?
In-unit plumbing is usually yours; common elements belong to the corporation.
Is a gate valve main a problem?
Old gate valves often fail to seal. A ball valve is more reliable.
