Typical plumbing in Jefferson
Most homes have copper or early PEX supply, ABS or PVC drains, a sump pit plus a gas-fired heater, often rented. At twenty-plus years old, builder-grade faucets, shut-offs and toilet parts start to fail together, and original water heaters are well past their typical service life.

What a Jefferson service call looks like
We often start at the water heater, reading the date code and lifting the burner cover to look at the flame and the rust on the base. Next is the main shut-off, usually a ball valve in the basement; we close it to confirm it holds. Then we move room by room: flappers and fill valves in toilets, cartridges in single-lever faucets, and the slow bathroom sink with its hair-wrapped pop-up rod. Many issues are dealt with in one visit.

Quick checklist before we arrive
- Pencil the install date on the water heater and the sump pump
- Pull the pop-up stopper and clear the hair every couple of months
- Pour a pail into the sump pit before the thaw and watch it cycle
- Close the inside valve for the hose bib before the first frost
Local note: York Region tap water is fairly hard, so scale builds up early in tank heaters, faucet cartridges and shower valves in Jefferson.
