Setting the scene
Morrison lies in southeast Oakville, south of the QEW and east of downtown, around Morrison Creek and the streets near Maple Grove Drive. It is known for large lots under mature trees. Original homes from the 1950s and 1960s sit beside large custom houses built where older ones were taken down.

Two kinds of house, two kinds of call
In the original homes, we see aging copper and galvanized supply, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals running long distances under deep front yards. In the new builds, the work is usually about complex systems: multiple bathrooms, large water heaters or boilers, recirculation loops and sophisticated fixtures.
- Root intrusion in long clay laterals under big trees.
- Low pressure in houses with old service lines.
- Recirculation pumps and mixing valves in new homes.
- Irrigation backflow devices on large lawns.
The sewer lateral question
A long lateral under mature maples and oaks is a classic setting for roots. If your main drain backs up after heavy use, a camera inspection is the first step, followed by clearing or repair.
Building new in Morrison? Plan for a properly sized water service from the street. An old small-diameter line can starve a large modern home.
Lawns and irrigation
Many larger properties have in-ground sprinklers. These should have a working backflow preventer. See backflow testing.
Calling us

Straight answers to common calls
Why does my old Morrison home have low pressure?
An aging or undersized service line is a common reason. We can check flow at the primary shut-off.
Do sprinkler systems need backflow devices?
They generally should. Check the Region's current cross-connection requirements.
