Markham is really a set of communities: the historic Main Street of Markham Village, Unionville, the Markham side of Thornhill, Milliken, large subdivisions from the 1970s to the 1990s, and newer areas such as Cornell and Berczy Village. Each has a different plumbing profile, from century homes to houses only a few years old.

Across the older subdivisions the jobs are about age: water heaters, original sump pumps, worn fixtures and, in some homes, Poly-B supply pipe. In the oldest areas it is drains and sewer laterals under mature trees. In the newest communities it is finishing basement rough-ins and adding softeners, filters and backups — and, in the first two years, checking the builder's Tarion warranty first.

Markham is on municipal water and sewers. Ask the City of Markham whether a basement flooding or backwater valve program is running for your address before booking that work. Tell us your community and what is going on, and your request goes to one plumber who covers Markham.

York Simcoe Plumbing is a free referral service: your request goes to one independent local plumber serving Markham, and they quote and do the work.

Markham Questions, Answered

Ask the City of Markham whether a backwater valve or basement flooding program is running for your address, and whether you need to apply before the work starts. Programs and their rules change, and we would rather send you to the source than guess.

All of them — Markham Village, Unionville, Victoria Square, Cornell, Berczy, Milliken, the Markham side of Thornhill and everything between. Unionville and Victoria Square have their own pages; for anywhere else, pick Markham on the form.

Look at the age of the water heater and whether it is rented, the type of supply pipe (copper, PEX, Poly-B or galvanized), whether there is a backwater valve, the sump pump if there is one, and any history of floor-drain backups. In older neighbourhoods with big trees, a camera inspection of the main drain is worth considering.
