The housing

East and west of Yonge between Finch and Steeles, Newtonbrook has 1950s and 60s bungalows and side-splits on the side streets, townhouse complexes from the 1970s, and tall apartment and condo buildings along the main roads. Many owners have lived here a long time; many newer families rent basement units.

Calls we take

  • Side-split pipes freezing over the garage
  • Townhouse complex leaks between units
  • Water heater replacements in bungalow basements
  • Basement apartment drain backups
  • Low pressure in houses with galvanized pipe

From the counter

Side-splits and frozen pipes

Side-splits put a bedroom or bathroom over an attached garage. Supply lines sometimes run through that floor, separated from the cold garage by thin insulation. On the coldest nights, those pipes freeze. Insulating the garage ceiling or rerouting the line ends the yearly freeze.

Townhouse complexes: your condo corporation may handle some pipes. Check before booking work on anything outside your unit walls.

Basement units

Two households on one drain doubles the load. A lateral that coped for one family can start backing up with two. If the basement tenant reports slow drains first, the main line is the place to look.

Water heater spots

In Newtonbrook bungalows the tank usually stands beside the furnace near the chimney or vent. When a rented tank gets swapped for an owned one, we check that the venting still suits the new unit. Power-vent models need an outlet and a sidewall exit, which changes the layout.

Questions

My side-split pipes freeze every winter. What can be done?

Insulate the garage ceiling below the pipe, seal drafts and, if needed, reroute the line inside the heated envelope.

Do you work in townhouse complexes?

Yes. We coordinate with management when shared pipes are involved.
