Plumbing in Glen Abbey
Glen Abbey spreads across a big swath north of the QEW, laid out through the eighties and nineties around its famous golf club. Curving crescents and courts branch off Upper Middle, Dorval and Third Line, filled with two-storey family houses and blocks of towns.
The houses and the pipes in them
Supply here is mostly copper with ABS or PVC drains and a crock in the basement. After three or four decades, what fails first is the hardware: toilets, faucet cartridges, shower valves, heaters and pumps. Pinholes in the original copper are starting to show up too, often as a green speck on a horizontal run.
Trip-lever tub wastes, pedestal basins in the powder room and kitchen islands with a dishwasher tucked in are typical here, and each has its own habits of failing.

Local field notes
Glen Abbey is threaded with ravines and trails along the creeks. Homes backing onto a ravine should keep an eye on the basement during spring melt and keep the sump in good order.
From the route notebook
Owners here frequently ask us to renew every flapper and fill valve in the house in one visit. It is a sensible request when all the toilets went in together, and it spares three separate calls over the next year.
