Plumbing in Pickering homes
Bay Ridges and the lakeshore have older homes, some on sandy soil with high water tables. In 1970s and 1980s subdivisions like Amberlea and Liverpool, expect copper water lines draining into ABS or cast iron. Seaton’s new homes are modern but still settling. Rural properties north of town may have wells.
Common calls we take here

What to check in a Pickering house
Near Frenchman’s Bay, check the sump pit during heavy rain. In 1980s homes, test shut-offs and look at copper near the water heater for corrosion. In new homes, watch for loose fittings as framing dries and settles in the first couple of years.
New framing shrinks as it dries, and fittings that were snug can loosen with it.

Local note. Before anyone digs near the property line, Ontario One Call locates buried utilities. The city or region owns the sewer and water connection past your property line, so ask them first if the trouble is out at the street.
Common questions
Why does my new house have creaking pipes?
Pipes expand and move against framing as hot water runs. Extra clips or isolators usually quiet them.
