Frequently Ask Questions
Many newer communities require them, but for older homes, they are the best defense against city sewer lines backing up into your basement during heavy rain or snowmelt.
They offer endless hot water and save space, which is great for large families. However, they require specific venting and maintenance to handle our cold intake water temperatures.
If your shower temperature fluctuates wildly or you have plenty of hot water at some taps but not others, the mixing valve likely needs repair or replacement.
This usually means the internal washer or the vacuum breaker has failed—often caused by leaving a hose attached during a frost. It should be repaired or replaced with a frost-free model.
Most often, it’s a worn-out flapper or a faulty fill valve. These are quick repairs that prevent significant water waste and high utility bills.
For older homes with mature trees (common in parts of NW Calgary), an annual or biennial auger/cleaning prevents roots from causing a sewer backup.
Yes, these areas often have high mineral content. This leads to scale buildup in water heaters and faucets. A water filtration or softening system is highly recommended.
Absolutely. In areas like Cochrane and NW Calgary, heavy snowmelt or summer storms can lead to power outages. A battery backup ensures your basement stays dry even if the power fails.
This is often due to mineral buildup in old pipes or a failing pressure-reducing valve (PRV). If it’s only one faucet, it’s likely a clogged aerator or cartridge.
Keep your home at a minimum of 20°C, even when away. Insulate pipes in unheated areas like the garage or crawlspace, and keep your cabinet doors open to allow warm air to reach the plumbing.
