Plumber in Markham

Markham borders Toronto along Steeles Avenue, and our family-owned team from North York serves the whole city, from Thornhill east of Yonge Street to Unionville, Cornell and Milliken Mills. We work in detached homes, townhouses and commercial spaces, handling everything from leaking faucets to sewer line repairs, and we clean up after every job.

The city changed quickly after it became a town in 1971, growing from farmland into a city of large subdivisions while keeping heritage districts with much older buildings. That mix means plumbing needs can vary from one street to the next. Wherever you live, you get a free quote, an upfront price you approve before work starts and 24/7 emergency service when you need it.

Plumbing Across Three Generations of Homes

The city has four heritage conservation districts: Thornhill, Markham Village, Buttonville and Unionville. Older buildings in these areas may still have aging cast iron drains or galvanized supply lines, which can corrode, leak or restrict water flow.

Many subdivisions were built from the 1970s through the 1990s. Across Canada, some homes built between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s were plumbed with polybutylene (Poly-B) pipe, which was removed from the National Plumbing Code's list of acceptable materials in 2005. If you are unsure what your pipes are made of, we can take a look and quote on replacement.

In newer communities such as Cornell, which began building out in the 1990s, homes are younger, but water heaters, fixtures and sump pumps still wear out with time. Whatever the age of your home, these signs are worth a call:

• Low water pressure at several fixtures
• Discoloured or rusty-looking water
• Repeated leaks at fittings or joints
• Slow drains throughout the house
