Neighbourhood snapshot
Milliken has older detached homes and semis from the 1970s and 1980s alongside newer townhouses and infill. Large shopping centres along Kennedy draw visitors from across the GTA. Many households are multi-generational, which means bathrooms and kitchens get heavy daily use.
Bigger households, bigger demand
A 40 gallon water heater was sized for a family of four in 1980. With six or seven people showering each morning, it runs out fast. A bigger tank, a fast-recovery model or a winter-sized tankless unit can all solve it. We help you compare them honestly.
Second kitchens
Basement kitchens are common here. They need a properly vented drain, a sink trap and supply lines that meet code. If a basement suite is being rented, there are additional City of Markham rules to follow. We handle the plumbing part and recommend you confirm the rest with the city.
From the van: Heavy kitchen use means grease build-up. A yearly drain cleaning on the kitchen line can prevent emergency calls.
Local note. Older bungalows near Steeles may have clay sewer laterals that settle and catch roots.
