How the housing stock shapes the job
Much of Markham was built between the 1970s and today. Older streets often have cast iron stacks and clay or concrete laterals that roots can reach. Newer subdivisions use ABS drains and PEX or copper supply, with the main shut-off usually beside the water meter in the basement. Knowing the era of the house tells us what we will likely find before we lift a single cleanout cap.
A typical visit, step by step
- You call and describe what you see. We ask about the age of the home and which fixtures are affected.
- On arrival we shut off or isolate the water if anything is running.
- The cause gets shown to you once a trap, cleanout or panel is off.
- You hear the repair options and what each one involves before we start.
- We make the repair, run water or pressure-test, and clean the work area.
From the van: Find your main shut-off on a calm day. Most Markham basements have it beside the meter, where the incoming copper or plastic service pokes in.
