Water, drains and basements
Alton Village is on municipal water and sewer. Many homes have sump pumps from construction. Newer subdivisions often use separate storm and sanitary systems, but check that downspouts and sumps discharge properly.
Find your main shut-off
In most houses here the water enters at the street-side foundation wall, with the meter and main valve together. Tag that valve before you need it.
Inside a typical Alton Village home
Most houses here were built with PEX supply lines run from a manifold near the water heater, which makes shutting off a single fixture easy if you know which valve is which. We label manifolds when we visit. Basements usually have a sump pit, stubbed-out drains awaiting a future washroom and sometimes a second rough-in for a bar sink. Drains are ABS, and the main cleanout is often near the front wall behind the furnace.
Common calls include:
- Builder-grade faucets and toilet fill valves wearing out after fifteen years or so.
- Rental water heaters reaching the end of their terms.
- Dishwasher and fridge water line leaks under kitchens.
- Finishing a basement bathroom using the existing rough-in.
Rear-lane townhouses often have their water meter and shut-off in a utility closet off the garage. Find yours before you need it. Our shut-off guide helps.

Questions we hear
Can I finish my basement bathroom?
If there is a rough-in, often yes. We check the rough-in and vents first.
Does my tankless need service?
Most manufacturers recommend periodic descaling, especially with hard water.
