Cliffcrest at a glance
South of Kingston Road and east of Midland, Cliffcrest stretches toward Cathedral Bluffs Park. Houses are mostly 1940s to 1960s bungalows and dormered cottages on deep lots, with some newer rebuilds. Lake winds are part of daily life here, and winters can be sharp.
Plumbing issues we see
- Pipes on north and lake-facing walls that freeze in cold snaps
- Clay laterals with root intrusion from mature trees
- Original cast iron stacks in older bungalows
- Outdoor taps that split when not drained in fall
Water and sewer notes
Cliffcrest is on City of Toronto services. Homes built before the mid-1950s should check for a lead service. Some streets slope toward the Bluffs, which affects drainage around foundations.
