Plumbing in Tam O'Shanter

Tam O'Shanter's 1950s and 1960s houses come with clay laterals, galvanized feeds and cast iron soil stacks that tree roots have been working on for decades.

Tam O'Shanter homes

The neighbourhood lies around Sheppard Avenue East and Kennedy Road, between the 401 and Huntingwood. The public golf course sits at its centre, and the side streets hold bungalows, side-splits and two-storey houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with some newer replacements.

Older owners who have been here for decades live next to young families who have just moved in, and both groups end up dealing with the same aging pipes.

Frequent calls

  • Galvanized water lines restricting flow
  • Root intrusion in laterals under mature trees
  • Water heaters on borrowed time
  • Toilets and faucets with worn parts

Water and sewer notes

On City of Toronto services. Many homes have the meter and main shut-off at the front of the basement.

For older owners: Lever-style faucets and a comfort-height toilet make daily life easier. We can fit both.
