Two fields. A plumber calls you back, day or night.
Thanks, we have it. A plumber calls you back, day or night. If it gets worse in the meantime, call (437) 525-2696.
That did not send. Please call (437) 525-2696 instead; we answer around the clock.
Water coming through the ceiling right now?
Call (437) 525-2696. The person who answers can tell you which valve to close before anyone gets in a van, and that advice is free whether or not you hire us. If it is an emergency, a plumber leaves our shop at Markham Rd and Kirkham Dr for your address and you get the emergency rate on the phone, before we arrive, not on the invoice.
If you are not sure it is an emergency, ask. A dripping trap can wait until morning at the daytime rate. A tank leaking from the bottom, a sewage backup or a pipe spraying behind a wall cannot.

placeholder imageMarkham houses fail by the decade they were built
Markham is a young city: 47% of its homes were built after 2000, 34% between 1981 and 2000, and fewer than one in five before 1981 (2021 Census). Knowing which group your house is in tells us half of what is likely to go wrong before we open the door.
Before 1978: Markham Village, Unionville, Thornhill and Milliken's first streets. These areas sit on drainage built to older standards, which is why the City's Flood Control Program puts them first and why Markham Village and Unionville took on water in the July 2017 storms (City of Markham). The plumbing problems here are sewer backups through the floor drain, tired cast iron stacks, and roots in older sewer laterals. A backwater valve and a camera look at the lateral are the first dollars worth spending.
1980s and 1990s: Milliken Mills, Armadale, Raymerville, Middlefield, Mount Joy. Copper supply lines that are mid-life, original shut-off valves that seize when you finally need them, and sump pumps on their second or third replacement. Most calls here are drains and hot water tanks.
1995 to 2007: much of Cedarwood, Box Grove, Cornell, Berczy and Angus Glen. This is the window when Kitec plumbing went into GTA homes before its 2005 recall (Bob Aaron). If you see orange and blue plastic pipes with brass fittings, have them looked at before a fitting lets go. Our leak detection page explains what to check.
After 2005: Greensborough, Wismer, Cathedraltown and Stouffville's new streets. Modern drainage, but the original water heaters and sump pumps are now reaching the end of their lives, often the same year, because the whole street was built at once.
Basement flooding: Markham pays up to $5,000 of the fix
The City of Markham's Private Plumbing Protection Rebate pays back up to $1,750 for an indoor backwater valve, $2,000 for an outdoor one, $5,000 for disconnecting weeping tile with a new sump pump, and $2,500 for relining or repairing your sewer lateral. You need City approval before the work, a building permit, and your downspouts disconnected. The permit deadline is April 30, 2027. We do the CCTV inspection the City asks for and handle the paperwork with you. How the Markham rebate works, step by step.

Where we work
One shop on Markham Road, one phone number, every part of Markham. The details, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, are on our service area page.
If water is leaking right now
- Close the main shut-off. In most Markham houses it is in the basement beside the water meter, usually on the front wall.
- If the leak is at the hot water tank, close the cold supply valve on top of the tank. For a gas tank, turn the gas control to Off; for electric, switch off its breaker.
- Turn off power to any wet area at the panel, but only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
- If a floor drain is pushing up sewage, stop running water anywhere in the house, including the washer and dishwasher.
- Take photos before you move anything. Your insurer will ask.
- Then call (437) 525-2696. We take it from there.
