Markham plumbing services, from the floor drain up

How it works
From the phone call to the last tested joint
- 01
Call
Say what you see: a dripping trap, sewage smell, a tank gone cold. A plumber asks which room, since when, and whether the main valve still turns.
- 02
Stop the water
We talk you through closing the fixture stop or the main so the damage stops growing while we drive over.
- 03
Open it up
On site we pull the trap, the cleanout cap or the access panel and find the fault before we quote anything.
- 04
Repair and test
Cable, cut, solder, crimp or replace. Then we run every fixture on that line and check each joint dry.
- 05
Clean out
Old parts bagged, sludge mopped, drop sheets folded. You get a plain account of what we changed.

Local housing
Markham houses, read through their pipes
Markham is several towns stitched together, and the plumbing changes as you cross from one era of building to the next. What we pull out of the walls and the floor drains tracks closely with when a street was built.

Valve tip: Older Markham basements usually keep the main shut-off low on the foundation, right where the service pipe pokes through beside the meter; newer townhomes may tuck it behind a panel in the furnace room.
