The neighbourhood
Highland Creek sits in the east of Scarborough near Military Trail and the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. Housing ranges from a few older village homes to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. Ravines shape the streets.
What comes up
- Older homes with mixed pipe materials
- Student rentals with heavy fixture use
- Ravine-side drainage and sump needs
- Outdoor taps freezing in exposed spots
Water and sewer notes
Highland Creek is on City of Toronto services. Rental properties with many occupants benefit from regular drain maintenance.
Our services
Homes closest to the creek valley sit on sloping ground, and their foundation drains can carry more water in spring. Downspouts that empty well away from the walls and a tested sump pump go a long way. We also see shut-off valves in older homes that have not moved in decades, which are worth replacing before an emergency.
Nearby
West Hill is west, West Rouge to the east, and Morningside to the north.
