Leaking water in Markham — what is different locally
In Markham's heritage cores -- the older Unionville and Markham Village conservation-district kitchens -- water under or behind the fridge is frequently a hard-water issue, not a door seal: scale and sediment block the defrost drain or fur up the ice-maker line fitting until it weeps. The tight galley layouts in these pre-1970 homes make a slow leak hard to spot until it reaches original hardwood, so we pull the unit, clear the drain and inspect the supply connection as the first diagnostic step.
