Common Plumbing Issues in Markham

Every community has its own plumbing challenges shaped by housing age, soil conditions, and local infrastructure. Here's what we see most often from local homeowners.

Aging Cast Iron Drain Stacks

Heritage homes in Unionville and Markham Village often have 80–120 year old cast iron drain pipes. Internal rust buildup narrows the pipe diameter, causing chronic slow drains and sewage odours. Our camera inspection reveals the pipe's condition, and trenchless relining can extend its life by 50+ years without tearing into walls.

Cross-Connections from DIY Renovations

Markham's active renovation market sometimes leads to improper plumbing connections — like garden hose bibs without backflow preventers or incorrectly vented drain lines. Cross-connections can contaminate your drinking water. We perform cross-connection inspections and install certified backflow prevention devices.

Hard Water Staining and Fixture Damage

Like much of the GTA, Markham receives hard Lake Ontario water. The chalky white deposits on fixtures and glass shower doors are calcium carbonate. Beyond aesthetics, scale buildup inside pipes and water heaters reduces efficiency and shortens equipment life. A water softener paired with annual heater flushing keeps everything running well.

Local Plumbing Tips for Markham Homeowners

Unionville's protected heritage district contains some of Markham's oldest homes, many dating to the mid-1800s. These properties often have original cast iron drain stacks that have corroded from the inside out over 100+ years. If you hear gurgling drains or notice slow drainage throughout the house, the cast iron stack may need lining or replacement. We use trenchless pipe lining technology to restore heritage home plumbing without damaging walls or floors.

Contact ProFlow for a winterization inspection.
