Plumbing in Markham: what to know
Basement flooding rebate
Markham’s Private Plumbing Protection Rebate pays up to $1,750 for an indoor backwater valve, $2,000 for an outdoor one, and up to $5,000 to disconnect the weeping tile and add a sump pump — in flood-prone areas, with approval from Environmental Services before the work. It runs to April 2027.

Markham needs a building permit for finished basements, second units and any plumbing inside a building (a separate plumbing permit). A rear-yard deck needs none if it is under 10 m², not attached to the house and no more than 600 mm (2 ft) above the ground; anything else does. Fences need no permit unless they enclose a pool.

Markham’s water comes from Lake Ontario and the City puts its hardness at 123 mg/L, or 8.6 grains per gallon — hard water, which scales kettles, fixtures and water heaters over time.
