Familiar with older & newer builds
From original-plumbing subdivisions to backwater-valve-equipped new construction.
Plumbing in Kanata's Mix of Older and Newer Homes
Kanata is a west-end Ottawa community that grew rapidly from the 1980s onward around its tech-sector employment base, which means the housing stock spans older subdivisions on original plumbing through newer builds already fitted with backwater valves under the City's 2004/2012 code requirements. As part of the City of Ottawa, Kanata properties fall under the same Residential Protective Plumbing Program rebate and permit rules as the rest of the city – a detail worth knowing before assuming a service isn't available locally.
