Plumbing in Cliffcrest

On the Cliffcrest streets near the Bluffs, we cable a lot of root-filled laterals and swap a lot of tired gas tanks in 1950s basements.

Cliffcrest at a glance

South of Kingston Road and east of Midland, Cliffcrest stretches toward Cathedral Bluffs Park. Houses are mostly 1940s to 1960s bungalows and dormered cottages on deep lots, with some newer rebuilds. Lake winds are part of daily life here, and winters can be sharp.

Plumbing issues we see

  • Pipes on north and lake-facing walls that freeze in cold snaps
  • Clay laterals with root intrusion from mature trees
  • Original cast iron stacks in older bungalows
  • Outdoor taps that split when not drained in fall

Water and sewer notes

Cliffcrest is on City of Toronto services. Homes built before the mid-1950s should check for a lead service. Some streets slope toward the Bluffs, which affects drainage around foundations.

Lakeside winters: Wrap pipes on outside walls and empty the hose bibs before November bites.

Common jobs

Close by

Cliffside lies west, Scarborough Village to the east, and Kennedy Park to the north-west.

Things callers ask us

Are Bluffs-side homes harder to work on?

Not usually. Slopes and long lots can affect sewer lateral depth, which we account for.

Should I insulate my basement pipes?

Pipes along exterior walls benefit most.
