Plumbing in Preston
Plumbing for Preston's 1950s and 60s bungalows, the older houses around King Street, and the streets down toward the Speed and the Grand.
Preston grew fast after the war, and the bungalows and storey-and-a-halfs that fill the streets off King and up toward Hespeler Road are mostly copper-plumbed, mostly sound, and mostly asking for more than they were built to give. The common Preston calls are a single bathroom drain that was never sized for the household now using it, a kitchen line lined with sixty years of grease, a water heater that has been replaced twice with the same small unit, and a softener installed without a bypass or a proper drain. The older core around King Street and the streets running down to the Speed has houses that pre-date the bungalows, with galvanized supply and cast-iron drains that are reaching the end. Preston's low ground near where the Speed meets the Grand has basements that see the floor drain push back in a heavy spring storm, and a backwater valve is the fix for that, as a permitted plumbing job. Frozen outdoor taps on the north side of a bungalow are an annual event that a frost-free sillcock and an inside stop ends for good. The plumber looks at the drain, the heater or the pipe before pricing anything, tells you plainly whether it is a repair or a replacement, and puts the number in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to come out to Ayr or the rural properties?
Travel inside Cambridge is built into the rate. For Ayr and the farm and rural properties across North Dumfries, the travel is stated in the quote up front rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number. Rural jobs on private wells often involve pressure tanks and softener plumbing, which is work we do.
Do you cover south Kitchener?
Yes, the south end along Highway 8 and the 401 — Doon, Pioneer Park, the streets around Conestoga College — is close enough to be routine. Further into Kitchener or Waterloo is outside the range this site is set up for.
