A plumber who looks at the whole picture
Markham is a city of layers. Main Street Unionville and Markham Village still hold houses built in the 1800s, while the 1970s and 1980s brought split-levels to Thornhill, Raymerville and Bullock. The 1990s and 2000s filled Berczy, Cachet, Wismer and Greensborough, and Cornell and Cathedraltown added laneway towns and condos after that. Each layer has its own plumbing: cast iron and galvanized steel in the oldest homes, copper in the middle decades, and PEX manifolds in most new builds.
That matters when something goes wrong. A slow drain in a 1975 backsplit is rarely the same problem as a slow drain in a 2015 townhouse. We ask when your home was built and what has been changed, because the answer usually points straight at the cause.
What we fix most often
- Drains and sewers: clogged sinks and tubs, backed-up mains, root intrusion and camera inspections.
- Hot water: repairs and replacements for gas tank, electric and tankless heaters, rented units included.
- Basements: pits that overflow, pumps that quit in a storm, standby batteries and sewer check valves.
- Pipes and fixtures: split and frozen lines, hidden leaks, stuck valves, toilets, taps and hose bibs.
What happens when you ring
A real person picks up and we ask a few short questions: what is happening, where in the house, and whether water is still flowing. If it is, we talk you through closing the main valve before anything else. Then we agree on a time and give you an honest idea of what the visit is likely to involve.
On site we find the cause first, explain it in plain words, and lay out the options and what they cost before we start. If a repair can wait, we say so. If a part needs ordering, we tell you roughly how long it should take. When the work is done, we run it while you look on and tidy up after ourselves.
From the van: Still flowing? Turn the main valve clockwise until it stops (look downstairs by the meter), then phone (289) 216-9245. Cutting the supply early keeps the damage small while we travel.

Seasons shape Markham plumbing
Deep-freeze nights in January split pipes in garages, crawl spaces and outside walls. Spring thaw and summer thunderstorms test pumps and check valves, especially in neighbourhoods near the Rouge River and its tributaries. Hard water from the regional supply slowly coats the inside of tanks and fixtures all year. We plan our advice around these rhythms, and our homeowner answers walk you through what to look at each season.
What is in the van
A drum auger for basin and tub lines, a sectional machine with root blades for the four-inch main, and a push camera with a locating sonde so we can mark a broken joint on the lawn before anyone digs. Torch, solder and press jaws for copper; expansion and crimp tools for PEX; ABS cement and no-hub couplings for drain repairs on cast iron stacks. Spare flappers, fill valves, cartridges, quarter-turn stops, thermocouples and float switches ride along, because most repairs come down to one of those.
When the job is bigger than the van, like a lateral that has collapsed under the driveway or a slab cut for a backwater valve, we say so on the first visit, show you the footage or the failed part, and book it properly instead of patching it twice.
