Plumbing in Kerr Village
Kerr Village lies just across Sixteen Mile Creek from downtown, strung along the shops of Kerr Street between Lakeshore Road and the QEW. Its side streets mix modest post-war bungalows, storey-and-a-half cottages, a handful of older homes and a steady arrival of new towns and rebuilds.
The houses and the pipes in them
The post-war stock here was mostly plumbed with copper or galvanized on the supply side and cast iron or clay on the drain side. Most houses have been updated in patches, leaving the mixed bag of materials typical of Oakville’s older south end. Kitchens on outside walls and long, shallow-pitched basement runs are common, and those runs collect grease much faster than short, steep ones.
Infill homes and stacked towns bring modern PEX and PVC, but also more fixtures on narrower lots, tied into laterals that can be tight or shared. Any rebuild here is a good moment to talk about backwater protection.

Local field notes
Blocks nearest the creek valley sit lower than their neighbours, and a few homes there have taken water in heavy storms. A look at the sump and a conversation about a backwater valve can be worthwhile on those streets.
