Around Rouge Fairways
This area has detached homes and townhouses on streets that back onto green space. Many homes are mid-sized two-storeys with finished basements. The nearby Rouge Park offers trails and conservation areas.
Groundwater and basements
Being near valley land means water tables can be high in spring. A sump pump with backup power is wise for any finished basement. We also recommend checking the grading around your home so surface water moves away from the foundation.
Leaks in finished spaces
When a finished basement develops a damp spot, the cause could be a supply leak, a drain leak, groundwater or condensation. We use moisture meters and careful testing to find the cause before opening walls.
From the van: Cheap water alarms placed by the heater and beside the sump pit will ping your phone long before a small drip turns into a soaked carpet.
Local note. Homes near the Rouge Valley can see high groundwater, which keeps sump pumps busy.
Service area
We cover Rouge Fairways and nearby east Markham neighbourhoods, from Highway 7 north toward 16th Avenue near the valley.
The houses here are now around twenty-five years old, which is when original tanks, flappers and fill valves tend to wear out together. Replacing them as a set saves repeat visits.
Owners who back onto parkland should also keep downspouts and sump discharge from eroding the slope behind the lot.
