From the route notebook

The houses in Lakeshore Woods are young enough that their pipes are rarely the problem, but the equipment installed with them is now reaching middle age. Heaters from the original build, sump pumps that have cycled through two decades of spring melts, and fill valves that have never been touched are the bulk of our work there.

Proximity to the lake brings stronger winter winds across the open ground near Burloak, and outdoor taps on the windward side of a house take the brunt of it. We see more freeze-split hose bibs here than in sheltered neighbourhoods, almost always on a tap where the hose was left attached through the first hard frost.

Sitting at Oakville’s far western edge, Lakeshore Woods neighbours Burlington’s south end. We cover both sides of Burloak Drive with the same crew and phone line, and parts for the common builder fixtures here ride on the van.
