West Hill streets
West Hill covers the area around Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East between Morningside and the Highland Creek valley. Housing ranges from modest 1950s bungalows to recent rebuilds, with apartments along the main roads.
Plumbing issues
- Older galvanized and copper supply lines
- Basements near ravines that rely on sump pumps
- Infill homes with long new laterals tied into old mains
- Snowmelt and spring rain testing foundation drainage
Water and sewer notes
West Hill is on City of Toronto services. Spring is a good time to test sump pumps.
Driveway snow: Keep piled snow away from basement windows and downspouts so meltwater drains away from the house.
Services we provide
Older West Hill bungalows often have their laundry in an unfinished corner of the basement, beside the floor drain. Washer hoses there should be replaced with braided lines every several years, and the floor drain kept clear, since that corner is where most basement leaks first show up.
