01Busy houses wear faster
A house with five tenants uses far more hot water and sends more hair and paper down its drains than a house with two people. Water heaters wear out sooner, shower drains clog more often, and toilet parts fail more. Landlords here often call us for the same few jobs on rotation.
Hair catchers, braided washer hoses and a correctly sized water heater cut down on calls.

02Basement units
Basement apartments need proper drains, venting and, often, an ejector pump. If a previous owner added a bathroom without a permit, we can assess it and bring it up to standard.
03The treatment plant
The Highland Creek wastewater treatment plant serves much of eastern Toronto. Your drains end up there, which is one more reason to keep wipes and grease out.
