Stouffville water: about 318 mg/L hardness, roughly 18.6 grains per gallon (very hard). Most of the town's homes were built after 2001, so original water heaters and sump pumps are coming due together. Our shop is about 13 km south on Markham Road. Same prices as Markham.

York Region supplies Stouffville from five wells, supplemented with Lake Ontario water through Toronto, and measured its hardness at about 318 mg/L, roughly 18.6 grains per gallon (York Region). That is more than double Markham's water. You see it as white crust on taps and shower glass; inside the house it settles in the bottom of the water heater, coats dishwasher elements, and clogs aerators and cartridges. A water softener sized to that number is the single most useful upgrade in a Stouffville house.
A young town, with everything coming due at once
Urban Stouffville grew fast after 2005, once new sewage capacity and a Lake Ontario water pipe arrived, from about 24,900 people in 2011 to about 36,800 in 2021 (Wikipedia). Nearly 59% of homes in Whitchurch-Stouffville were built after 2000, a quarter of them between 2006 and 2010 alone. Those houses are now reaching the age when builder-installed water heaters and sump pumps fail, and on a street built in one go they tend to fail in the same few years. If your tank is from the original build, read water heater replacement before it decides for you.
Main Street and the older town
The older core around Main Street goes back to Abraham Stouffer's mill in the early 1800s, and the oldest houses there have the plumbing histories you would expect: layers of renovation, mixed pipe materials, and basements that were never meant to be finished. We take our time on those and price the work after we have looked.
Rural properties
Some properties outside the urban area run on private wells and septic systems, and the Town's water by-law bans any connection between town water and a private well or pressure pump. If you have both on the property, keep them separate. We handle the plumbing inside the house and will point you to the right specialist for the well and the septic tank.

Common questions
How long does it take you to get to Stouffville?
Our shop is about 13 km south of Main Street on Markham Road. For emergencies we give you an honest arrival time on the phone, usually longer than our CONFIRM: e.g. 60 minutes (only publish a number the crew can hit at 3 a.m. in February) Markham commitment.
Do you charge extra to come to Stouffville?
No. Stouffville gets the same published prices as Markham. CONFIRM: e.g. 'No travel charge.' or the actual surcharge
Do you work on wells and septic systems?
We do the plumbing inside the house on well and septic properties: pressure tanks, softeners, filters, water heaters and drains. Well drilling, pumps down the well and septic tanks themselves are specialist trades, and we will tell you who to call. CONFIRM: e.g. 'We service pressure tanks and filters in-house.' or empty string
Do I need a softener in Stouffville?
At about 18.6 grains per gallon, it is the best money you can spend on your plumbing. It protects your water heater and dishwasher and ends the white crust on every fixture.
