Plumber in Woodbridge

Woodbridge grew from a village on the Humber River, incorporated in 1882. Suburban growth from Toronto began in the 1950s and carried on through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, reaching Highway 27 in the late 1980s and early 1990s and passing Major Mackenzie Drive in the 2010s. The old village sits on the Humber floodplain: during Hurricane Hazel in 1954 the river swelled from 20 to 107 metres wide, and a diversion channel and floodplain rules followed. Homes from the 1950s and 1960s may still have cast iron drain pipe, and those from the 1980s and 1990s polybutylene (Poly-B) supply pipe. The water is the same Lake Ontario supply as the rest of Vaughan, at 128 mg/L of hardness.
