Why Markham Properties Trust Us
Markham has grown into one of Canada's most dynamic municipalities, home to a major technology sector, a vibrant multicultural community, and an increasingly dense urban landscape. The city's commercial infrastructure is extensive — from the sprawling tech campuses and office parks along Highway 7 and Commerce Valley Drive to the retail plazas and restaurants lining Kennedy Road, Woodbine Avenue, and Markham Road. Each of these properties has catch basins that handle stormwater runoff from rooftops, parking lots, and service areas, and each requires regular cleaning to prevent flooding and environmental contamination.
Markham's natural landscape is shaped by the Rouge River to the west and numerous tributaries of the Don River system to the south. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority maintains oversight of development near these watercourses, and properties within regulated areas must demonstrate effective stormwater management. Catch basins are the first line of defence in this system — they capture sediment, debris, and pollutants before they can enter the storm sewer network and ultimately reach rivers and Lake Ontario.
Markham Drainage Infrastructure
The city's older areas, including Unionville and Markham Village, feature heritage streetscapes with mature trees that produce heavy leaf fall each autumn. These charming neighbourhoods have narrower streets and older drainage infrastructure that is more susceptible to blockages. In contrast, newer communities like Cornell, Wismer, and Box Grove have modern stormwater management systems with larger-capacity basins and integrated oil-grit separators, but these still require professional maintenance to perform to their design standards.
Markham's industrial sector, concentrated along Steeles Avenue East, Denison Street, and the Highway 404 corridor, includes automotive parts manufacturers, food processing facilities, electronics assembly plants, and logistics centres. These properties produce runoff containing oils, coolants, food waste, and fine particulate matter that accumulates in catch basins and must be removed by vacuum truck. We work with facility managers across Markham's industrial zones to keep their drainage systems compliant with environmental regulations and functioning effectively. Our familiarity with Markham's infrastructure — from the heritage drains of Unionville Main Street to the engineered systems of the IBM campus — allows us to provide efficient, knowledgeable service on every call.

FAQ
Common Questions — Markham
How often should catch basins be cleaned in Markham?
Annual cleaning is recommended for most Markham properties. Technology campuses and industrial facilities with higher contaminant loads should consider semi-annual service. Properties in Unionville and Markham Village with heavy tree cover benefit from a late-fall cleaning after leaves have dropped.
Does Markham require property owners to maintain catch basins?
Yes. The City of Markham requires private property owners to maintain all stormwater infrastructure on their land, including catch basins and oil-grit separators. Properties with approved site plans have specific stormwater management obligations that must be upheld.
Do you service oil-grit separators in Markham?
Yes, we clean and maintain oil-grit separators at Markham commercial and industrial properties. These units are common in newer developments and require periodic cleaning to meet environmental compliance standards. We can set up a scheduled maintenance plan so you never miss a service interval.
Do you offer emergency catch basin service in Markham?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency catch basin and storm drain service across Markham. Whether it is a flooded parking lot at a Highway 7 office park or a backed-up drain at an industrial facility, we dispatch vacuum truck crews as quickly as possible.
