1920s–1930s

Most common call
Roots in the main line
Big trees, older sewer lines
Most of Forest Hill’s houses were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and the street trees are among the oldest in the city. That combination is hard on sewer lines. Many homes of that age still drain to the street through clay or cast-iron pipe, and roots work their way into the joints.
The first sign is often a basement floor drain that gurgles or backs up when the laundry empties. Catching it early is far easier than cleaning up a backup in a finished basement.

Yanky Gass is an extremely courteous and professional plumber who also scores points for his punctuality - arriving when he said he would. He was very easy to deal with and provided clear answers to all my questions along the way. He does a complete clean-up and guarantees his work. It is very reassuring to be able to depend on such an excellent worker for all my plumbing needs in the future.

Plumbing in Forest Hill: common questions
Why do older Forest Hill homes get tree roots in the sewer line?
Many were built with clay or cast-iron sewer lines made of jointed sections. Mature street and yard trees send roots toward the moisture at those joints, and once inside, the roots catch grease and paper until the line blocks.
How quickly can you get to Forest Hill?
Mayan Plumbing is based in North York, a short drive north. Same-day visits are available, and emergency calls are answered 24/7.
Should I have the sewer line checked before renovating?
If the house is older and you’re finishing or redoing the basement, a camera inspection first shows the condition of the line while it is still easy to reach.
