Around the lake
The streets around the lake, between Bovaird and Sandalwood east of Torbram, hold detached two-storey homes, semis and townhouses. Many original owners have sold to young families who are now renovating.
- Poly-B lines in a share of homes from this era
- Original copper in others, now forty-plus years old
- First-generation ABS drains that are usually still sound
- Gas water heaters on their third or fourth replacement
Calls we get near the lake
Leaks at Poly-B fittings, stiff old shut-offs, toilets from the 1980s that use far too much water, and kitchen drains clogged by decades of grease.
Groundwater near the water
Houses close to the lake and its drainage paths can see damp basements in a wet spring. Clean eavestroughs and run each downspout two metres or more out from the foundation.
Families who bought here in the eighties are now selling, and buyers should ask for any records of pipe or heater replacement.

Questions we get
Can I check for Poly-B myself?
Yes. Check the lines on top of your heater: a grey plastic pipe printed PB2110 means Poly-B.
