The Malvern streetscape
Malvern covers the north-east part of Scarborough around Neilson Road and Sheppard Avenue East, with Malvern Town Centre at its heart and the Rouge Valley close by. Housing is a mix of 1970s and 1980s townhouses, semi-detached homes and detached houses, many in condominium complexes with shared services.
Typical calls in Malvern
- Shared walls and stacked units where a leak can travel to a neighbour
- Original water heaters and shut-off valves reaching the end of their life
- Low-lying lots near ravines that rely on sump pumps
- ABS drain joints that loosen with age
- Toilet and shower valve wear in houses with several bathrooms
Local water and sewer facts
Malvern is on City of Toronto water and sewer. In townhouse complexes, some pipes are owned by the condominium corporation and some by the homeowner. Check your declaration before starting larger work.
Townhouse tip: Know where your own shut-off is. In some rows, the main valve sits in a shared utility space.
