Our Plumbers in Vellore Village

The housing

Mostly two-storey detached homes and townhouses on smaller lots, built by several large builders over about fifteen years. Construction is modern: plastic drains, PEX or copper supply, sump pits in most basements, and gas water heaters. Many homes have three or more bathrooms and a finished lower level, sometimes with a second suite.

Common calls in Vellore Village

• Bathroom drains clogged with hair in busy family bathrooms; see bathroom drain cleaning.
• Toilets that run, rock or clog, especially lower-flow early models.
• Kitchen faucets and disposals wearing out.
• Basement suite plumbing added after the fact, sometimes without proper venting.
• Water heater capacity struggling with large households.

Second suites

A lot of Vellore basements now have a second unit. Plumbing for a legal suite includes separate shut-offs, enough hot water for both units, and drains that are vented and sloped properly. If a past owner built a basement kitchen or bathroom without permits, problems often show up as slow drains and sewer smells. We can assess what is there and explain what bringing it up to standard would take.

Water, sewers and seasons

Vellore was built with separated storm and sanitary sewers, and many streets back onto stormwater ponds. Sump pits are common and run in spring and after summer storms. Water is York Region supply and moderately hard. Winter freeze-ups are rarer in new homes but still happen above garages and in hose bibs left on; our outdoor tap note covers that.
