The Hornby area
Hornby sits around Trafalgar Road near Steeles Avenue, within reach of Highways 401 and 407 but with a rural setting of fields, older homes and newer estate properties. Some homes here are on municipal services; many rely on wells and septic systems. Industrial and commercial land is growing nearby, but the residential pockets remain quiet.
What Hornby homeowners call about
- Faucets and fixtures worn by hard well or municipal water.
- Well pumps and pressure tanks on rural lots.
- Older farmhouse plumbing that has been altered many times.
- Frozen lines on exposed walls and in outbuildings.
- Water heater replacement, both gas and electric.
A dripping or stiff faucet is often the first thing hard water wears out. Our faucet repair and replacement page covers when to repair and when to replace.
Old houses, many hands
Many rural homes around Hornby have been added to over generations: a kitchen extension, a bathroom carved out of a bedroom, a basement that started as a root cellar. Each addition brought its own plumbing, and the joins between eras are where leaks and slow drains tend to live. We take time to trace how water actually moves through the house before changing anything. If you are planning a hot water upgrade, our pamphlet on tank versus tankless sets out the options.
Getting service
Phone with your address and whether you are on a well or town water. For rural properties, tell us the nearest crossroads to save time finding you. We cover Hornby along with Milton’s eastern neighbourhoods such as Willmott.
Questions we get asked
Do you travel to Hornby for small jobs?
Yes. Ring and describe it, and we will tell you when we can be there.
Can you help with an old farmhouse’s plumbing?
Yes. We trace what is there first, then suggest repairs that suit the house.
Is well water harder than town water?
It can be, depending on the aquifer. A water test tells you for certain.
