Drain cleaning and sewer repair in Markham

Kitchen drains are the most common blockage we clear in Markham, usually from cooking oil and grease that set hard further down the line. Homes with a second kitchen in the basement put twice the load on the same main drain. In Unionville and Markham Village, older clay and cast iron lines add tree roots and rough pipe walls to the mix. Hydro jetting clears grease far more thoroughly than a snake does.

We start with the simplest fix and only go further if the camera shows a reason to. That can mean snaking a single fixture, hydro jetting the main line, or sewer and mainline repair when a pipe is cracked or collapsed. If the same drain keeps blocking, our guide to why your drain keeps clogging explains the usual causes.

Water heater repair and replacement in Markham

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard, and that is hard on water heaters in Markham. Scale builds up in tanks and on tankless heat exchangers alike, so both types need regular flushing. Households with basement apartments or extended family often outgrow a standard tank, and that is when a larger tank or a tankless unit is worth pricing.

Not sure whether to repair or replace? Start with the signs your water heater is failing. If you are replacing, our comparison of tankless and tank water heaters covers which one suits a Markham household.

What a plumber in Markham costs

We price by the job, not by the hour. A plumber looks at the problem, tells you what is wrong and gives you a fixed price before any work starts, so the bill for your Markham home matches the quote. If you only want a diagnosis, the visit is $70, and that amount is credited to the repair if you go ahead. There is no dispatch fee on jobs we complete on the same visit.

In Markham, adding or moving plumbing for a basement kitchen or bathroom is the job where quotes differ most, because it depends on where the existing drains run under the floor.

Plumbing is a compulsory trade in Ontario, which means anyone doing the work must be registered with Skilled Trades Ontario. Our plumbers are licensed and insured, with WSIB coverage. More answers on pricing and scheduling are in our plumbing FAQ.
