Plumbing in Uxbridge

Uxbridge sits up on the Oak Ridges Moraine, with a historic town centre on municipal services and a wide rural township where nearly every lot runs its own well and septic bed.

Town and township

Within the town of Uxbridge, homes draw from a municipal system supplied by local wells and drain to municipal sewers. Out in the township, around the hamlets and along the concession roads, most homes have their own wells and septic beds. The moraine's sandy and gravelly soils affect both: they feed many wells and allow septic beds to drain, but also make wells vulnerable to surface contamination.

In-town homes

Uxbridge's older streets have Victorian and early twentieth-century homes with plumbing that has been updated in waves. We see cast iron drains, copper and some galvanized supply, and the familiar mix of old and new materials in renovated houses.

Rural homes

  • Submersible well pumps and pressure tanks.
  • Treatment for hardness, iron and sulphur odour.
  • UV disinfection for wells where testing shows bacteria.
  • Septic-related drain backups.
  • Frozen lines to outbuildings and stables.
Field note. Moraine wells can draw from deep or shallow aquifers. A shallow well is more likely to change in quality after heavy rain. Test after big storms.

Our role

We handle the plumbing side of rural systems: pumps, tanks, switches, treatment and the house piping. Drilling a new well or replacing a septic bed is specialist work, and we will point you to licensed contractors for that.

Travel time

Uxbridge is a drive north from Whitby. We plan rural visits carefully so we arrive with the right parts.
