At a glance
- Check the build year and look at the stack: cast iron, ABS or a patchwork of both.
- Find the main valve and the meter, and note whether the service is copper, galvanized or plastic.
- Lift the floor drain grate and the cleanout cap to see what the main has been carrying.
- Read the date code on the tank and peer into the sump before touching anything else downstairs.
Heritage cores
Main Street Unionville, Markham Village, Buttonville and Victoria Square carry Markham's longest-standing homes. Expect aged drain lines, renovations layered over renovations, and now and then a galvanized supply pipe.
1960s to 1980s subdivisions
Thornhill, German Mills, Raymerville, Bullock and Armadale are full of split-levels, backsplits and bungalows. Original copper supply, worn cast iron stacks, plus clay or first-generation ABS laterals, turn up often here.
1990s and 2000s growth
Berczy, Cachet, Angus Glen, Wismer Commons, Greensborough, Box Grove and Legacy were often built with sump pits and bigger tanks. Pumps and heaters from that era are now reaching the end of their run.
Newest communities
Cornell, Cathedraltown and Downtown Markham feature townhouses, stacked towns and condos, usually with PEX piping and tight mechanical rooms.
Nearby towns
We also work in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Gormley and north Scarborough, including Agincourt and Malvern.
