Water and sewer notes

Rouge is on City of Toronto services. Newer homes often have a backwater valve installed at construction.

Check your valve: If your newer home has a backwater valve, open the access cover yearly and clear any debris.

Popular jobs

Builder-installed fixtures and valves in these homes were often chosen for price. After fifteen or twenty years, plastic shut-off valves, supply hoses and toilet fill valves start to fail. Swapping them out for better-quality parts is a quick, inexpensive way to avoid a leak, especially in homes with finished basements below the bathrooms.
