About Middlefield
Middlefield includes neighbourhoods built from the 1980s onward. Detached homes and townhouses sit close to schools, parks and shopping along Highway 7. Many homes have been expanded with basement apartments or second-floor additions.
Additions and suites
When homes are expanded, plumbing is often extended from existing lines. Additions built without enough venting or with long horizontal drains can drain slowly. We look at the whole system and suggest ways to improve flow, such as adding a vent or cleaning a long horizontal run.
Storm protection
Basement flooding has affected parts of east Markham during heavy rain. Protective steps include a backwater valve, a working sump pump and downspouts discharging onto lawns. The City of Markham has offered help with some costs; check current details.
From the van: If you rent out a basement unit, show your tenants how to shut off water to their bathroom and kitchen.
Local note. Homes from the 1980s often have original water heaters and pipe insulation that has broken down.
Our coverage
We serve Middlefield from Highway 7 to 14th Avenue and from Markham Road east to Middlefield Road and beyond.
Townhouse rows near Middlefield Road often share a drain line under the units. A blockage in one home can show up as a backup in the neighbour first, which is why it pays to talk to the folks next door before assuming the problem is yours alone.
