Woodbridge began as a village on the Humber River, and the streets near the old core still have older houses. Most of Woodbridge, though, is subdivisions from the 1970s through the 1990s — solid brick homes, many with large finished basements, many now on their second owner and their second round of plumbing.

In homes of that age the jobs are predictable: water heaters reaching the end, shut-off valves that will not close, original supply lines and fixtures, and main drains under mature trees that start to back up. Houses built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s may also have polybutylene (Poly-B) supply pipe, which many owners choose to replace.

Finished basements are the other theme. A backwater valve and a dependable sump pump protect a basement that would cost a great deal to redo after a flood. Tell us what is going on and roughly when the house was built, and your request goes to one plumber who covers Woodbridge.

Common Jobs in Woodbridge

Backwater valve installation in Woodbridge

Main drain backups under mature trees

Older Woodbridge streets have big trees and older sewer laterals. If the floor drain backs up when the washer empties, a camera inspection shows whether it is roots or something else.

Water heater and shut-off valve replacement

Many Woodbridge homes are on their second or third water heater. Old valves that no longer shut off fully are often replaced at the same visit — worth asking about.

Woodbridge Questions, Answered

Polybutylene supply pipe is usually grey (sometimes blue or black) plastic, often stamped 'PB2110', and was used in many Canadian homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Look where the water lines are exposed, such as near the water heater or the main shut-off. If you find it, a plumber can price replacing it.

Often the trap under the floor drain has dried out and is letting sewer gas through. Pouring a bucket of water into the drain refills the trap. If the smell comes back quickly, or the drain gurgles or backs up, have the drain checked.

Yes. Woodbridge is a community within the City of Vaughan, so plumbing permits and any municipal programs go through the City of Vaughan.
