Markham's Building Decades Each Left a Mark
Markham's housing stock spans 1980s and 90s subdivisions right through to the fast-growing stock of newer townhomes and high-rises near Highway 7. Each building decade left its own plumbing quirks behind, and we know what to look for in each.
PB pipe still shows up in 1980s Markham homes
Polybutylene supply piping was common in some 1980s-era builds and is known for premature failure. We check for it specifically on homes from that era.
Renovation-era tankless installs get checked
A wave of tankless water heater installs during the last decade's renovation boom weren't always done to spec, and we verify rather than assume.
Newer Highway 7 corridor towers need coordination
High-rise units near Highway 7 often need building management coordination, which we factor into scheduling.
Written scope on every job
You get a documented, plain-language breakdown regardless of the building's age.
The Markham Issue Worth Knowing About
Polybutylene pipe installed in some 1980s Markham homes is known to fail without much warning, often at the fittings rather than along the pipe run itself. If your home dates from that era and still has original supply lines, it's worth knowing whether PB is behind your walls before it becomes an emergency.
