Plumbing in Whitby homes
Downtown Whitby and Port Whitby have older homes with crawlspaces, stone foundations and older drains. Subdivisions from the 1970s to the 1990s have copper and ABS now needing updates. Brooklin and north Whitby have newer homes with PEX and sump systems. Winter winds off the lake and open fields can freeze exposed lines.
Common calls we take here
- Frozen pipes in exposed walls
- Water heater replacement
- Sump pump installation
- Kitchen and bathroom renovations
- Leak repairs
What to check in a Whitby house
In newer north Whitby homes, check the sump discharge for winter ice. In older homes, insulate pipes in crawlspaces. Make sure your water heater has a relief valve line that ends near the floor and is not capped.
A capped relief valve line is a safety device that has been switched off.

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 water heater relief valve drip?
Often thermal expansion. An expansion tank usually solves it.
