Why Newmarket Properties Trust Us
Newmarket sits at the northern edge of the GTA's suburban sprawl, positioned along the Holland River watershed where the flat terrain of the Holland Marsh begins to rise toward the Oak Ridges Moraine. This geographic setting creates distinctive drainage challenges. The Holland River and its tributaries wind through the western and northern portions of the town, and the associated flood plain means that properties in low-lying areas must rely on robust catch basin systems to manage stormwater effectively. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority oversees development near these waterways and enforces strict stormwater quality standards.
Newmarket's commercial activity is concentrated along two main corridors: Yonge Street running north-south and Davis Drive running east-west. The intersection of these two arterials — anchored by Upper Canada Mall and surrounded by retail plazas, restaurants, banks, and professional offices — represents one of York Region's busiest commercial nodes. Catch basins in this area handle runoff from extensive parking lots and are subject to heavy sediment loads from road traffic, seasonal salt application, and the general wear of a busy commercial district.
Newmarket Drainage Infrastructure
The town's residential areas reflect its evolution from a small Ontario market town to a modern suburban community. The historic downtown core along Main Street South and Timothy Street has some of Newmarket's oldest infrastructure, including drainage systems that date back several decades. These older systems are more vulnerable to blockages and require attentive maintenance. The newer subdivisions spreading east and south — Stonehaven, Summerhill Estates, and the Bristol-London neighbourhood — have engineered stormwater management systems with modern catch basins, but these still require professional cleaning to remove the silt, sand, and organic debris that inevitably accumulate.
Newmarket's northern location means the town experiences longer and more severe winters than communities further south in the GTA. Extended freeze-thaw cycles between November and April deposit large volumes of road salt, sand, and gravel into catch basins. By the time spring rainfall begins in earnest, many basins are already partially filled with winter residue. We recommend early spring cleaning for all Newmarket properties to restore full basin capacity before the wet season. Our crews service Newmarket on regular routes and are familiar with the town's commercial and residential areas, making us a dependable partner for ongoing drainage maintenance.
