The houses here
Aurora's old town has Victorian and early twentieth century homes along Wellington and Yonge, while neighbourhoods such as Aurora Highlands and Bayview Wellington came later. Newer areas toward Leslie and Bayview have modern builds with sump pumps and PEX.
Common plumbing problems
- Older homes with cast iron and galvanized lines.
- Sump and groundwater issues in newer areas.
- Root intrusion in older laterals.
- Water heater replacements across all ages.
- Backwater valves for homes with finished basements.
Local notes
Aurora has its own building department and its own municipal programs, separate from Newmarket's. Permit rules are similar but not identical. We check the Town of Aurora's current requirements before booking work that needs a permit.
Aurora and Newmarket share Yonge Street traffic. Allow a little longer for arrival at rush hour.
How we help
- Camera laterals in older homes.
- Upgrade sumps and backups in newer homes.
- Replace old supply lines.
- Handle Aurora permits when needed.
