Plumber in Scarborough

Much of Scarborough went from farmland to suburbs in the last third of the 20th century: in the City's 2021 profile, 37% of homes were built between 1961 and 1980 and another 15% in the 1980s, with about a fifth from before 1961. Houses from the late 1970s and the 1980s are the age when polybutylene (Poly-B) supply pipe was common in Canada, and lead solder was used on copper pipe until 1990. The City's basement flooding study areas here include the Scarborough Waterfront, Clairlea–Birchmount, and parts of Agincourt and South Scarborough along Highland Creek. On September 2, 2026, 105.9 mm of rain fell on Scarborough. Toronto's Lake Ontario water averages about 119 mg/L of hardness.
