Plumbers for Morrison

Plumbing in Morrison

The Morrison area of southeast Oakville, around Morrison Road and Cornwall Road, is known for wooded lots, ravines and a mix of original houses and new custom rebuilds.

The houses and the pipes in them

Older houses may have their original laterals beneath very large trees, so roots are common. Rebuilds bring modern piping, but long service runs on deep lots need careful planning.

Larger homes often have several bathrooms and demanding hot-water setups.

From the route notebook

Many original Morrison houses date from the fifties and sixties, built on large lots among the trees. Where those houses remain, the plumbing often includes cast-iron drains, clay laterals and copper supply that has been partly replaced. Roots are the most common reason for drain calls here, given the size and age of the trees.

New custom homes replacing the originals bring very different demands: multiple bathrooms, large soaking tubs, irrigation and sometimes pools. Those demands affect how heaters are sized, how the water service is run from the street, and where backflow devices are required.
