We assess each Markham property individually, considering pipe material, age, and condition before recommending the most cost-effective solution.
Markham presents one of the most varied sewer infrastructure profiles in the Greater Toronto Area. Markham Village, incorporated in 1794, is among the oldest settled communities in Ontario — and its historic core contains some of the oldest residential plumbing in the province, including clay tile and early cast iron laterals that have been in the ground for over a century. The Rouge River valley running through eastern Markham creates an active root intrusion zone affecting properties along its banks and adjacent ravines. York Region water hardness at approximately 180–200 mg/L contributes to mineral scale buildup in older cast iron waste pipe components.
However, the vast majority of Markham is a 1980s through 2000s suburb: Unionville, Berczy Village, Cornell, Cathedraltown, and the technology corridor along Highway 7 all feature ABS and PVC sewer infrastructure throughout. The growing density of condominiums and townhomes along the Highway 7 corridor means shared sewer infrastructure assessments are increasingly common. For Markham Village and older Unionville properties, a camera inspection is strongly recommended — particularly if the home was built before 1970 and has never been assessed.
Mechora Group provides sewer repair services throughout Markham's diverse communities — from heritage villages to master-planned suburbs.
Ontario's oldest settled communities. Some of the province's oldest residential plumbing — clay tile and early cast iron laterals dating from the 1800s.

High-density condo and townhome development. Shared sewer infrastructure inspections and stacked-unit drain assessments available.
Trenchless CIPP lining typically ranges from $3,000–$8,000 for a residential lateral. Traditional open-cut replacement runs $5,000–$15,000+ depending on length and depth. We provide free on-site assessments.
Warning signs include: multiple slow drains, sewage backups in the basement, foul odours, sinkholes or lush patches in the yard, rodent intrusion, and cracked or shifted foundation. In Markham Village and Unionville, root intrusion from the Rouge River valley and century-old pipe materials are leading causes of sewer lateral failure.
CIPP (cured-in-place pipe lining) inserts a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe and cures it in place, creating a new pipe within the old one. No trenching required in most cases. This method is particularly valuable for Markham Village and Unionville heritage properties where preserving historic streetscapes is important.
Trenchless repair usually takes 1–2 days. Traditional excavation takes 2–5 days depending on length and depth. York Region and City of Markham permits for road or sidewalk cuts add lead time that we manage on your behalf.
Trenchless methods require minimal access points (typically 2 small access holes). Traditional excavation requires trenching but we backfill and restore as closely as possible.
