Dear Owners and Residents:
Please note that the Corporation will undertake a project to clean the kitchen & laundry stacks in our building.
This project will require access to all suites on 2nd, 8th, and 11th floors. During this time, a member of the building staff and/or a security guard will accompany our contractors.

If at anytime during the project, you kitchen sink or laundry line starts backing up, please call the Superintendent (during the business hours) or the concierge desk (after business hours)
Clear the area around the laundry (2nd floor only)
What is Stack Cleaning?
Stack cleaning is a mechanical process by which the grease and sediments build up is removed to allow free flowing of grey (waste) water. Stack Cleaning is part of good building maintenance and should be planned every two (2) years or as needed.
The process includes the use of a snake or chain knocker that is inserted in the lane. This will physically break down and remove the build up in the lines. Once the mechanical cleaning is completed the plumbers will use a high pressure washer to remove any remaining debris and wash the lines to main drain to the city collection lines. Following the cleaning of each stack, a camera system is used to ensure the drain is 100% free of grease build up and any debris from the existing cleanouts.
We appreciate your understanding and support in this matter, and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
