The Ionview area
Ionview sits just north-west of Kennedy Station, with houses on short side streets and several apartment towers along Eglinton and Kennedy. Most homes were built in the 1950s: brick bungalows and semis with detached garages and full basements.
Streets here see heavy winter snow and parked cars buried for days in a storm, and that cold reaches pipes in garages and along exterior walls too.
What Ionview homes need
- Frozen lines in garages and exterior walls
- Original galvanized supply pipe
- Shared-wall semis where leaks can travel
- Old floor drains with dried-out traps
Water and sewer notes
Ionview is on City services. Semis may share a lateral or have laterals close together, so camera work helps identify which one has a problem.
Cold snap habit: During the bitterest nights, leave sink cupboards on outer walls open to let room heat reach the plumbing.
