Richmond Hill grew north along Yonge Street from its old village core. The south and central parts have postwar bungalows and backsplits, followed by large subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s, and many older lots have since been rebuilt with much larger homes. In the north, the city rises onto the Oak Ridges Moraine around Oak Ridges, which has its own page.

Older homes bring older drains: cast-iron stacks, clay or cast-iron laterals under mature trees, and basements built before backwater valves were common. Subdivision homes from the 1980s and 1990s are on their second water heater and their original sump pump, and some will have Poly-B supply pipe.

Tell us what is going on and roughly when the house was built, and your request goes to one plumber who covers Richmond Hill. If you are thinking about a backwater valve, ask the City of Richmond Hill whether a subsidy program is running before you book.

Richmond Hill Questions, Answered

We would rather not guess at a program's current status. Ask the City of Richmond Hill whether a basement flooding or backwater valve program is running for your address, and whether you need to apply before the work starts.

Gurgling usually means air is being pulled through a trap because a drain or vent is partly blocked. One gurgling fixture can be a local clog; several, especially on the lowest floor, point to the main drain or a vent. Say which fixtures do it on the form.

All of it, from the south end near Highway 7 and Thornhill up through Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox. Pick Richmond Hill or Oak Ridges on the form and give your nearest intersection.
