Eglinton East homes
The area follows Eglinton Avenue East through central Scarborough, with houses on the side streets and apartments along the avenue. Most homes date from the 1950s and 1960s, with brick exteriors, full basements and detached garages. Some streets back onto hydro corridors and small parks.
Long-time owners and newer families sit side by side here, and many houses have had kitchens and bathrooms updated while the pipes behind them stayed original.
Frequent calls
- New fixtures connected to sixty-year-old drains

- Original gas water heaters in shared chimney flues
Water and sewer notes
Eglinton East is on City of Toronto services. When a water heater or furnace is replaced, venting changes may be needed for the remaining appliance.
Orphaned flue: When a new high-efficiency furnace vents out the side wall, the water heater may be left alone in an oversized chimney. That needs checking.
