Tab one: Help
The Markham plumbing index
Every job we do has its own page here, filed under tabs: drains and sewers, water heaters, leaks and supply pipe, sump pits, and fixtures. Each page says what we cut, open, replace and test.
- A plumber answers when you call
- Clear price before any pipe is cut
- Basements left as clean as we found them
- Work tested in front of you
- Licensed plumbers (details on request)
- Price agreed before work
- Call-only, no forms
- Tested before we leave

How to use the index
If water is on the floor, start with emergency plumbing or burst pipe repair. For drains, look under drain cleaning and sewer work. Water heater pages cover gas, electric and tankless units, whether rented or owned.

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.
