About Birch Cliff

Birch Cliff sits at the south-west corner of Scarborough, along Kingston Road east of Victoria Park. The area developed earlier than most of Scarborough, so streets include 1920s and 1930s homes alongside post-war bungalows and recent infill. Many bathrooms still carry original tile and fixtures.

Common issues

Lead or galvanized water services in pre-1955 homes
Older cast iron and clay drains
Vintage bathroom fixtures with hard-to-find parts
Renovations that need code-compliant venting

Water and sewer notes

Birch Cliff is on City water and sewer. Older homes may share drainage patterns from earlier development. Ask about the City's past lead testing and replacement programs before planning work.

Renovating? Replacing an old water service while walls and floors are open saves effort later.

Things callers ask us

Can you match vintage fixtures?

Sometimes. Parts for older brands may be scarce, so replacement can be more practical.

Is my old house likely to have lead pipes?

If built before about 1955, it is worth checking.
