Seasonal care
Markham winters are hard on pipes and spring storms are hard on basements. The spring and fall checklists, the frozen pipe guide and the pump upkeep steps help you stay ahead of both.
When something goes wrong
Know where your main valve is, what to do when sewage comes up, and how to catch a hidden leak before it ruins floors and ceilings.
Picking equipment
Tankless against a tank, renting against owning, softening against filtering: these guides weigh each choice honestly, with nothing to sell you.
From the van: These guides are general information. Your home may differ, and some work calls for a licensed plumber and a permit.
