Wishing everyone a very happy thanksgiving.

It’s officially that time of the year again so make sure you prepare your home for the cooler air with these daily fall plumbing tips: Unhook & Drain All Outdoor Hoses. Remove outside garden hoses. Disconnect, drain the water and place it in an area that does not reach freezing temperatures. Water that’s left inside the hose can freeze and expand causing the hose and internal pipes to break!

Its back to school for the kids which may mean more morning showers and hot water shortages in your household. Most water heaters last five to 12 years; if you are not doing annual maintenance & checks you might be due for a new one sooner. We install gas and electric water heaters, as well as tankless water heaters for those looking for an endless supply of hot water, reduced energy costs, longevity in the system, saved space and reduce water waste. You may want to consider going tankless.

Bathroom Reno's!

Regularly inspect your home’s hot water heater for leaks. If you have a traditional tank, annually drain it to remove sediments that tend to build up on the tank’s floor. These sediments hinder the tank’s efficiency and cause overheating, which creates undue wear and tear on the heating element, valves and other working parts.

Grease isn't your drains' best friend !

When a hard object like a toothbrush, comb or a toy plugs a toilet or drain, a plunger may not be the solutionit might push the obstruction in deeper. Instead, suck out the water and the obstruction with a wet/dry shop vacuum.

All gas lines or any installation of a gas appliance in Edmonton requires a gas permit to be taken out, even if it means installing a tee on your gas meter. A gas permit can only be taken out by a Journeyman/women Gasfitter. Although there are certain exceptions for a straight replacement of a furnace, water heater or gas fireplace that may not require a permit, NOT having a gas permit and inspection done could void your homeowners’ insurance.

With spring and summer, come the rain and potential flooding. This is where your sump pumps come into play. A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is typically installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Sump pumps on the whole are quite reliable but as with any other important piece of equipment, regular maintenance is always a good idea.

Yes, we are serious about plumbing and plumbing problems, but we also recognize the funny, ironic, and random stuff when it comes to plumbing... Let's start with some terms.

Second day of spring which means BBQ season is around the corner Call to get your BBQ gasline installed!

We often see plumbing issues that are due to improper installation (sometimes by the homeowner). When doing a reno, getting it done for cheaper might seem inticing but getting the job done RIGHT will save you $$ and headaches. Once those pipes go up behind the wall, and you put up the wall board, and you put up some $15-, $20-per-square-foot tiles over it, and you find out there's a leak a few weeks later, it's all coming down to get to and repair that leak and all that money is thrown away.

Fun Fact Friday! The first water heaters were developed in the 1870s. Circulation pipes were installed between water-heating units and hot water storage tanks to make pressurized hot water available in volume.
