Home management, drainage care and small-scale refreshes for Cedarvale's ravine-side homes.
Homes near the Cedarvale Ravine come with mature trees, slopes and water that always looks for the lowest point of the house. Your Zebrano Home Manager plans for it: eavestrough cleaning, sump and backwater valve checks, tree care with certified arborists, and a yearly plan that keeps the house ahead of the weather. Repairs and small-scale refreshes run through the same call, on one invoice.
After days of heavy rain, water shows at the base of a basement wall in a 1920s brick house backing onto the ravine. The original clay drain is overwhelmed, and the grading sends water toward the foundation. The owner calls the Home Manager, who sends a licensed plumber to scope the drain and a trade to check the grading and downspouts. The cause is fixed rather than painted over, and a backwater valve and battery-backup sump pump are proposed, since a house of that age was built without them. The work goes into the Annual Home Care Plan, and any larger drain upgrade is planned in the Five-Year Capital Plan.
Cedarvale sits beside the Cedarvale Ravine, west of Forest Hill, with 1920s and 1930s Tudor and Georgian Revival houses and newer custom homes, many on lots that back onto the ravine.
