Bathurst Manor housing and pipes
Much of Bathurst Manor was built in the 1950s with brick bungalows and side-splits on modest lots. Many homes have been extended, and some replaced with larger houses. The neighbourhood borders the West Don parklands and Earl Bales Park area.
Plumbing typically includes clay laterals, cast-iron stacks and copper or galvanized supply. Most houses on these crescents have seen two or three renovations, so piping may be a mix of materials and ages.

Flooding and sewers
Parts of Bathurst Manor slope toward the West Don valley. Older sewers and weeping tiles tied to the sanitary sewer can cause basement backups in heavy storms.
Side-splits put the lowest drain in an unexpected spot, sometimes a laundry room half a level down. That is where a backwater valve earns its keep.

Questions we get about this
Only our bottom level drains slowly. Why?
Split-level houses send that half-storey's waste through the shortest run to the lateral, so a half-blocked lateral announces itself down there before anywhere upstairs.
