Typical Peel Village homes
Most houses are brick bungalows, split levels and two-storey homes from the late 1950s and 1960s. Many families have lived here for decades, and many homes are now being bought and renovated by new owners.
- Original cast iron drains below the basement floor
- Clay sewer laterals running under big front lawns
- Older copper supply lines with some pinhole leaks
- Floor drains that dry out in rarely used basements
What owners call about
Tree roots are the number one Peel Village issue. Big maples and oaks send roots into old clay joints. We also see aging water heaters, failing main shut-off valves and basement renovations that bring the original drains into question.
Before you renovate
If you are opening the basement floor anyway, it is the right time to replace cast iron and add a backwater valve. A camera look before work starts tells you what you are dealing with.

Questions we get
Should I replace my clay lateral?
If a camera shows multiple broken joints or repeated root intrusion, replacement is usually more economical over time.
