Many heritage properties also experience problems with outdated galvanized pipes that need replacement with modern materials.

Our water heater services include installation, repair, and maintenance of both traditional tank and tankless systems. Given Unionville's cold winters, having a reliable hot water system is essential, and our plumbers can help you choose the most efficient option for your home's size and usage patterns. Our Unionville plumbers also specialize in bathroom and kitchen plumbing installations, working with homeowners who are renovating their spaces to create the perfect layout while ensuring all work meets local building standards.

Keep your home heated to at least 15°C even when you're away. Allow faucets to drip slightly during extremely cold weather, and ensure that pipes in unheated areas, such as basements and crawl spaces, are properly insulated. If you're planning to be away during winter, consider having your water shut off and pipes drained.

Major plumbing installations and renovations typically require permits from the City of Markham when performed by a plumber. Unionville experts on our team can help you determine when permits are required and work with you to ensure that all work complies with local building code requirements.

For most Unionville homes, annual drain cleaning is sufficient for maintaining the property. However, homes with mature trees nearby may benefit from more frequent cleaning, especially for main sewer lines that can be affected by root intrusion.

First, shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. For burst pipes, turn off the main water valve. Then call our emergency line immediately. While waiting for our Unionville plumber, move valuables away from the affected area and try to contain any water with towels or buckets.

Yes, modern tankless water heaters work well in Ontario's climate when properly installed and maintained. They're particularly beneficial for Unionville homes because they provide endless hot water and are more energy-efficient than traditional tank systems, though they do require adequate electrical capacity.

Signs that indicate potential repiping needs include frequent leaks, discolored water, low water pressure throughout the home, and pipes that are over 50 years old. Many older homes in Unionville's historic areas may have galvanized pipes that should be replaced with modern materials for better performance and water quality.

New subdivisions in Unionville sometimes experience low water pressure due to undersized service lines or issues with the municipal water distribution system. The problem can also stem from pressure-reducing valves that were installed incorrectly during the construction process. Our plumbers can assess your home's water pressure and work with you to identify whether the issue requires adjustments to your plumbing system or coordination with municipal services.

Many Unionville homes benefit from sump pumps, especially those in lower-lying areas or homes with finished basements. The area's clay soil and seasonal weather patterns can lead to groundwater issues. A properly installed sump pump system can prevent basement flooding and protect your foundation from water damage.

While Unionville receives treated municipal water that meets safety standards, many homeowners opt to install filtration systems to enhance the taste and remove chlorine. Hard water is also common in the York Region, so water-softening systems can help protect your plumbing fixtures and appliances from mineral buildup.
