What residential work covers

Most calls from Markham households fall into a handful of trades. The list below is the short version; each item links through to a full page with steps and warning signs.

  • Drain cleaning for basins, tubs, kitchen lines and the main stack.
  • Leak detection behind drywall, under slabs and above finished ceilings.
  • Water heater repair: thermocouples, elements, whole-tank swaps and wall-hung tankless units.
  • Sump pumps plus their battery partners and the backwater flap that guards a finished lower level.
  • Toilets, faucets, showers, disposals and laundry hookups.

Houses we see most often

Markham's housing runs from nineteenth-century frame houses along Main Street Unionville and Markham Village to 2010s stacked towns in Cornell. The plumbing changes with the decade:

  • Pre-1950 village houses: cast iron stacks, galvanized supply, lead joints at the hub.
  • 1970s and 1980s subdivisions: copper supply, ABS drains, original water heaters long since swapped.
  • 1990s to today: PEX manifolds, plastic shut-offs, sump pits in many lower levels.
Mention the decade your place went up. That detail decides which couplings, adapters and cutters ride along on the truck.

How a home visit runs

  1. You call and describe the drip, clog or cold tap.
  2. A plumber arrives, lays down sheets and finds the source.
  3. Before any cutting, the plumber walks you through what failed and the repair planned.
  4. The repair is made, tested under pressure or flow, and the area is cleaned.

When it is more than a home

Running a shop, a restaurant or a rental building? Those jobs bring interceptors, backflow devices and tenant schedules into the picture. See commercial plumbing for that side of the work.

Straight from the phone log

Basement suites too?

Certainly. Lower-level suite kitchens and bathrooms run on the same drains and supply as the main house, and we plan the work so both households keep water for as long as possible.

Can you handle an older house with cast iron?

Yes. We carry no-hub couplings and transition fittings for joining new plastic to old cast iron stacks.

Ready to get it fixed?

One call, a clear explanation, and work finished tidily before we leave.
