Plumbing for Vanier's Dense, Older Housing Stock
Vanier is a compact, urban neighbourhood close to downtown Ottawa, with older, closely built housing and a mix of single-family homes and low-rise multi-unit buildings. That density and age profile mean original cast-iron drain lines and older supply piping are more common here than in Ottawa's newer suburbs, and tight lot lines can make sewer lateral access more involved.
