Getting to know Dorset Park
Bounded roughly by Kennedy Road, Brimley, Ellesmere and Lawrence, Dorset Park mixes brick bungalows from the 1950s and 1960s with apartment buildings and an employment area to the east. Many houses have been extended or have basement units, and lots tend to be generous.
Plumbing issues common here
- Galvanized supply pipe slowing flow upstairs
- Cast iron drain stacks with rough, scaled interiors
- Stiff old main valves
- Basement kitchens added on original drain lines
Water and sewer notes
Dorset Park is on City water and sewer. Older homes may still have a galvanized service. A camera check of the lateral is worthwhile before finishing a basement.
Main valve: If yours is an old round-handle gate valve, test it once a year. Replace it before an emergency.
