Buttonville today
The Buttonville Municipal Airport closed in the 2020s, and the land is being redeveloped. The historic hamlet still has older homes along Woodbine. Surrounding streets include large detached homes from the 1980s and 1990s on spacious lots.
Older farmhouses
Heritage homes in the hamlet often have plumbing added in stages over a century. You may find copper, galvanized, PEX and even lead in one house. We look at the whole system before making changes, since joining old and new materials needs care.
Changing area
As the former airport lands redevelop, new construction will change the area. Homeowners nearby may see changes in water pressure during main connections or work on city services. If pressure changes suddenly, check with the City of Markham for planned work before assuming a problem in your home.
From the van: Older homes may have a buried shut-off valve outside. Know where yours is before you need it.
Local note. Older homes near the old airport lands can have long water service runs from the street.
Coverage
We serve Buttonville from Highway 7 north to 16th Avenue and from Highway 404 east to Kennedy Road.
Large properties here sometimes have long supply lines from the street, which can make pressure noticeably lower at the far end of the house. A pressure test at the meter and at a distant tap tells us whether the line or the fixtures are to blame.
