Determining the Type of Water Softener Your Plumber Should Install


Have you ever been told that your home has "hard water"? If so, you're not alone, as a large number of homes throughout Canada use hard water. Hard water is water that has excess of dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium carbonate, among others. While hard water does not harm your health, it will eventually wreak havoc on your home's piping and plumbing fixtures due to mineral buildup. At the same time, plumbing fixtures and appliances run less efficiently when they use hard water.

Thermostats and Smartphone Apps Can Save Energy

It’s little wonder in areas such as Edmonton, Alberta that highly qualified plumbers are in such high demand. Temperatures in the height of summer struggle up to 15/18 C on a good day, and plummet to minus double figures in the winter. Ensuring your heating system is not only working, but working efficiently takes up much of your plumber’s daily activity.

Finding a Good and Reliable Plumber in Stony Plain

Starting Out 

If you've just moved to Stony Plain and need a reliable plumber, or if you already live here and you're searching for a new one, how do you know where to start? Many people rely on word-of-mouth, but what if you're new to the area? It's important to find a good plumber before something bad happens, not after. Most plumbing websites are slick and professional but the best thing to do is call, not email. You'll be able to make a much better judgment through the personal act of speaking to someone directly.

Plumbing Can Add Value to Your Home

Most homeowners will have thought about some form of renovation or upgrade to their home, as a means of increasing the value. One of the items, however, that is often overlooked when assessing how to increase house values, is plumbing.

Knowing When You Need To Call In The Experts


One of the worst emergencies to have in your home is a plumbing one. If you're living in Edmonton, then you are very lucky as there are some excellent plumbing firms in the area. Obviously preventive maintenance is better than emergency repair, but sometimes things happen and there is nothing that you can do.

The insurance industry has come up with some suggestions in a bid to help homeowners understand and recognise the start of what could be a 'red flag' situation. Here are some things to look out for that could escalate into something big.

If you suddenly see that you are spending more money on your water bill, and there is no explanation. Call a professional plumber and find out what the reason is. If you are paying for water, and not using it, then it has to be going somewhere, and there could be a leak.

Any strange gurgling noises in your water system could mean that pipes have become loose and about to burst. A plumber has special tools to find out where this is happening in your home, and can solve it quickly and efficiently.

If water comes out of the taps and is not clear, this signifies that something abnormal is occurring in the system. It could be the beginning of corrosion and if left unchecked you will end up with major repair work.

If any of the above occurs, then don't delay; get it checked and maintain your peace of mind. A plumber will make sure that an incident doesn't turn into a tragedy.
