The 15 plumbers serving Markham, ranked.

We track 25 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Markham and have read 129 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 16 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Markham's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 13 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 8 of the 25 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Appleton Campbell alone carries 6,886 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and burst pipes.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown MarkhamHow we rank
How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 75 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Why we're cautious

  • One review documents plumber using profanity ('Pain in the Ass') when customer insisted on agreed specifications, then lying about having materials available (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Material substitution without authorization: plumber used salvaged PEX tubing instead of requested all-copper piping, claiming shortage, then produced copper after pushback (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Significant pricing concern: one detailed 1-star review reports labor charged at ~$866/hour for 1.5 hours of work on water heater replacement with incomplete scope (octopus lines not addressed despite being in original quote), with materials markup unclear (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • 4 of 5 reviews praise technician professionalism, politeness, and respect for property (cited in 4 of 5 reviews)
  • 4 of 5 reviews highlight knowledgeable technicians who provide helpful advice and honest assessments (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Easy scheduling and responsive dispatcher noted in 2 reviews (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Markham we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 75 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
