The kind of work we like
We are a hands-on trade. The work is under sinks and in crawlspaces, beside sump pits and inside mechanical rooms: pulling traps, cabling stacks, cutting out pinholed copper, sweating new fittings, swapping wax rings and rebuilding flush valves. The pages on this site describe those jobs the way we would describe them on your basement stairs.
Where we work
Our focus is Markham: Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell, Cathedraltown, Berczy Village, Angus Glen, Milliken Mills, Greensborough, German Mills, Markville, Grandview, Legacy and the Markham side of Thornhill. Every neighbourhood was built in its own era, with faults to match, and our area pages describe them.
What we will not do
- Quote a price over the phone for a job we have not seen
- Push a replacement when a repair will do
- Start work before you have agreed to it
Tested: drains flushed, pipe pressure-tested, heaters fired and watched.
From the job notes of Plumbers in Markham
How the job runs, start to finish
- 1
On the phone
Explain what the water is doing and where. We ask the age of the house and which valve or breaker to shut while we drive over.
- 2
Drop cloths down
Floors and cabinets get covered, the water or gas is isolated and the work area is lit.
- 3
Find the failed part
We open the trap, cleanout, access panel or wall where the fault is, and show you what we found.
- 4
Quote, then work
We explain what failed and what the fix costs; no cutting starts until you say yes.
- 5
Cut, fit, seal
Old parts come out, new pipe, valves or fixtures go in, and joints are soldered, pressed, crimped or glued.
- 6
Test and ticket
We run water, pressure-test or fire the heater, check for drips, clean up and leave a written ticket of what was done.
