Main Street and older homes
Newmarket's historic Main Street, with its brick storefronts and nearby residential blocks, has some of the oldest plumbing in York Region. Houses in the streets around it may have cast iron drains, galvanized or early copper supply, and basements that were dug out long after the house was built. Many have been renovated more than once. When we work here, we take the same slow approach we use in old Aurora: understand what is there, then decide what to change.
Subdivisions east and west
Beyond the core, Newmarket grew quickly from the 1970s onward, with large subdivisions to the east and west of Yonge. These homes are a mix of two-storey detached houses, semis and townhouses. Their plumbing is broadly similar to what we see across Aurora: copper or PEX supply, plastic drains, sump pits in many basements and a gas-fired water heater, often rented.
Homes from the 1980s and early 1990s are worth checking for polybutylene supply pipe, which was used for a time before falling out of favour. Newer homes, meanwhile, are hitting their first major replacements: water heaters, sump pumps and toilet internals.
Common calls
Most of the requests we get from Newmarket fall into a few groups:
- Basement water after a storm or a failed sump pump.
- High water pressure banging pipes or wearing out fixtures.
- Slow or backed-up main drains.
- Water heater replacement and repair.
Pressure is a quiet issue in some neighbourhoods. When incoming pressure is too high, faucets drip, toilet fill valves wear out and supply hoses fail early. A pressure-reducing valve brings it down to a sensible level. If high pressure or a failed pump has already put water on the floor, our basement flood cleanup page covers the plumbing side of recovery.
Getting there from Aurora
Newmarket is a short drive north from our usual Aurora routes, and we treat it as part of our home ground rather than a distant service call. If you live near the Aurora border, along Davis Drive or anywhere in between, we can usually get to you as readily as we would a call in town. We will always tell you plainly when we expect to arrive.
When you call, have a few details ready: roughly when the house was built, whether the basement is finished, and where your main shutoff sits. Those three answers help us load the right parts for the first visit.
Older Newmarket homes in low-lying areas can benefit from a backwater valve. Our backwater valve guide explains how they work. Heading west instead, our King City page covers King Township.
Aurora customers often ask
Do you serve all of Newmarket?
Yes. Newmarket borders Aurora to the north, and we treat it as part of our regular route.
What water pressure is too high for a house?
Most household fixtures are designed for pressure under about 80 psi. Readings above that can wear out valves and hoses early, and a pressure-reducing valve is the usual fix.
My Newmarket home was built in 1988. Is Poly-B something to lose sleep over?
It is worth checking. Polybutylene was used in some homes from that era. Look for grey flexible pipe stamped PB near the water heater or main shutoff.
