Greensborough sits in northeast Markham between Highway 48 and Donald Cousens Parkway, a neighbourhood of 2000s subdivisions with parks, ponds and quick access to Mount Joy and the 407. Most homes here were built within a few years of each other, which means many of them are reaching the same maintenance milestones at the same time.
Right now, the two jobs we do most in Greensborough are sump pump service and water heater replacement. Both systems were installed when the houses were built, and both are now at an age where failure is a real possibility rather than a distant one.
Plumbing in Greensborough Homes
Newer subdivisions in this area often have sump pits that see regular groundwater, especially in spring. A pump that runs frequently wears out faster, and a stuck float or clogged intake can let water rise without warning. We inspect, clean and replace pumps, confirm the discharge is routed away from the foundation, and add battery backup and high-water alarms.
Original tank water heaters from the mid-2000s are at or past typical service life. If yours is a rental, we can help you understand your options. If you own it, we will size a replacement based on your household, whether that is a standard tank, a larger unit for a growing family, or a tankless heater that frees up space in the basement.
We also see a fair number of slow drains and running toilets in Greensborough as homes reach their twenties. Fill valves, flappers and faucet cartridges from the original build tend to wear out around the same time, and a running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water. These are quick repairs, and handling them together in one visit saves you from calling back again and again.

Greensborough Plumbing FAQs
My sump pump runs constantly in spring. Is that normal?
Frequent cycling during thaw can be normal in some parts of Greensborough, but it wears the pump faster. We can check sizing, the float and the check valve to make sure it is working efficiently.
Can you replace a rented water heater?
Yes, but rental agreements vary. Check your contract terms first; we can then install an owned unit and explain the steps for returning the rental.
Tank or tankless for a Greensborough home?
It depends on household size, gas supply and venting. We walk through the trade-offs in person and recommend what fits your usage.
