Qualified Plumbers in Sherwood Park, AB

We recommend an annual check-up and clean for your Sherwood Park home. We want you to rest assured and reduce unpleasant surprises in your home; therefore, scheduling a yearly clean will help your pipes and fixtures run safely and efficiently.

Sherwood Park homeowners can protect their homes from plumbing issues by trusting out two major maintenance services. We have already covered the importance of drain cleaning; next is routine repairs.

We tend to take our plumbing system for granted because it’s serving its purpose every day, and we don’t ask ourselves if maintenance is needed until it breaks. Frequent use of plumbing fixtures connected to our drains will lead to wear and tear.

Our technicians provide several Sherwood Park plumbing repairs, from maintenance to fixtures to emergency plumbing services. Our quick solutions will recover your home’s equilibrium in no time.

• Toilet: It’s the most direct sewer connection in your home. When faulty, it could point to problems in the main line. If it’s a leak, you could be losing gallons of water per day.
• Pipe Repair: The most severe case is pipe leak because it could cause structural damage to your property if not fixed immediately. Leaks often occur at the pipe joints, which you can temporarily secure with tape or compound until a professional plumber takes a look. The permanent solution is either pipe replacement or replacing related fittings. Your team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton is happy to help.
• Faucet: A dripping faucet can cost you gallons of water over the course of a year. You can check if your internal washer might be torn, and someone with basic DIY skills could lend you a hand. Otherwise, we recommend installing water efficient fixtures that will provide a more long-term solution.
• Plumbing Replacements: Often, repairs don’t give you long-term solutions, and you would benefit more by replacing plumbing parts (pipes, fittings and other exchangeable devices).

We always encourage Sherwood Park homeowners to opt for cost-effective methods with long-term solutions to prevent unexpected issues for years to come.

Are you having problems with your hot water tank? Most Canadians use hot water every day and rely on dependable, efficient heaters. Over time and with repeated use, these fixtures eventually succumb to the natural effects of ageing. We can extend the life of your fixture with routine maintenance, and if you need water heater repairs, we're here to help with solutions for common problems and rare issues.

In Sherwood Park, homes aren't always obvious about telling their occupants that there's an issue, but there are several common problems you should watch for, as well as other factors that indicate service or replacement might be needed.

Common telltale signs include:

• Lack of hot water: Often a thermostat issue or sediment buildup due to lack of regular maintenance. We can help you flush your water.
• Rusty or discoloured hot water: A replacement is inevitable if your tank’s inside is rusting.
• Loud, abnormal noises: There could be sediment buildup at the base of your tank, which is common if you don’t drain and flush your water every year.
• Leaks: If it’s leaking from the bottom, it could be a damaged drain valve. A less serious scenario is a leaking nozzle that needs to be tightened better.
• Heating slowly or inconsistently: This has several reasons: Your hot water may have to travel a long distance from the heater to the showerhead or faucet. Or your hot water pressure might be weak. Ensure the hot water valve is turned on properly and that there’s no sediment buildup in the tank.
• Old gas heaters: If it’s more than eight years old, it might start showing signs of wear and tear (similar to examples above) and not won’t work as efficiently.
• Electric heaters: If it’s between eight and ten years old, their efficiency will decline and lead to higher energy bills.

During Sherwood Park's long, cold winters, pipes have an increased risk of damage because of the effects of freezing. Because frozen water expands, it seriously affects the structural integrity of pipes and impedes their ability to transport waste and water. It's easy to get wrapped up in the other circumstances that come with winter and forget about pipes, but when poorly insulated lines freeze, our attention is immediately drawn to the failing fixtures or water line leaks.

Plumbing is susceptible to the effects of falling temperatures when it's poorly protected. Channels in Sherwood Park should always have proper insulation, but you can also do additional things to protect your pipes.

These are the most common areas of vulnerability:

• Water lines and drains along outside walls
• Outdoor hose bibs
• Pipes in unheated interiors, such as the basement or garage
• Outdoor pipes with poor insulation

Even pipes that are close to exterior walls can experience freezing if the exterior walls are poorly insulated, such as in extensions and overhangs. Also, pipes in ceiling spaces where a draft is getting in can freeze quickly during our annual cold snap.

The best way to avoid these problems is to keep the temperature of your thermostat set high enough to keep your whole home above 15 degrees Celsius. If you have experienced this problem before or know that you're at risk, we recommend some additional strategies. When the cold snap comes, make sure to:

• Allow a slight trickle of water to run through your faucets constantly to maintain flow
• Open cabinets under sinks to let warm air in from the rest of your home
• Seal the openings of doors, attics, and basements
• Insulate storage units and lines that are particularly exposed
• Remove and store hoses indoors during the winter

If you're experiencing a disruption or issue during a cold period, you might be the victim of a thoroughly chilled line. Applying heat is the best solution, but we recommend contacting a professional for quality plumbing services to avoid further damage.
