Plumber in Newmarket

Newmarket has homes from every era. About one in ten was built before 1961, many around the historic downtown, a heritage conservation district since 2013. About 40% went up between 1981 and 2000, and 30% after 2000. Houses from the late 1970s to the late 1990s are the age when polybutylene (Poly-B) supply pipe was common in Canada, and houses from before about 1950 may still have galvanized steel pipe. The water is Lake Ontario water blended with groundwater, at 141 mg/L of hardness, which York Region rates as hard: scale builds up in water heaters, valves and aerators. In the storm of June 23, 2017, the town received 14 claims for basement flooding.
