West Rouge homes
Most homes were built from the 1970s to the 1990s, on curving streets close to Rouge National Urban Park and the Rouge Hill GO station. Detached houses with full basements are typical.
Issues we see
- Original water heaters and fixtures due for replacement
- Sump pumps working hard on low lots
- ABS drain joints and fittings aging
- Finished basements needing backflow protection
Water and sewer notes
West Rouge is on City of Toronto services. Lots that slope toward the valley may carry more groundwater.
Original equipment: If your sump pump is the one the house came with, test it now and plan its replacement.
Typical work
West Rouge homes are spread over generous lots, and some laterals run a long way to the street. That makes a camera inspection a useful step before any lateral work. The area is also close to the Rouge Hill GO station, and we serve homes on both sides of Lawrence Avenue East near the river.
