North York is mostly postwar: streets of 1950s and 1960s bungalows and side-splits, apartment and condo towers along the main roads, and — on many of those same streets — large custom homes that have replaced the original houses. The plumbing ranges from seventy-year-old cast iron to brand new.

In the original homes, the common issues are main drains and sewer laterals under mature trees, galvanized supply pipe, and basements without a backwater valve. North York is part of the City of Toronto, so the City's Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program and its permit rules apply — check the current terms before booking.

On a rebuild, the plumbing questions start at the street: whether the existing water service and sewer connection suit a much larger house. Tell us whether it is an original home, a renovation or a new build, and your request goes to one plumber who covers North York.

York Simcoe Plumbing is a free referral service: your request goes to one independent local plumber serving North York, and they quote and do the work.

Yes, for plumbing inside your unit. The condominium corporation controls shared pipes, risers and water shut-offs, and most have rules about contractors, so check with management first and mention that it is a condo on the form.
