A blocked or clogged drain line is one of the most common plumbing problems, and pretty much everyone has to deal with them at some point in their lives—but you shouldn't be forced to struggle with clogged drains on a regular basis. Most drainage clogs aren't very serious and can be handled with a plunger and some good old-fashioned elbow grease; however, some situations require the expertise of an experienced plumber. Calgary plumbing systems plagued by frequent, unexplained clogs may have a more serious issue, such as a damaged wastewater disposal line that requires repair or replacement.

Whether your clogged drains are simply basic blockages or a symptom of a deeper issue that requires the services of a plumber, homeowners are often interested in finding ways to prevent clogs before they occur. The most effective ways to avoid clogged drains are to focus on preventative maintenance and take care not to let anything go down the drain that doesn't belong there. For the most part, that means wastewater, toilet paper and human waste only. You may be able to get away with some food scraps if you have an in-sink garburator, but everything else should be kept out of your drains.

It also makes a lot of sense to consider investing in preventative drain cleaning services from your local plumber. Homeowners rarely encounter clogged drains when they receive regular drain cleaning, as our hydro jetting service removes clog-causing buildup before it becomes severe enough to block the flow of wastewater. Maintenance appointments also give your Calgary plumbers the opportunity to identify potential problems and correct them before they can disrupt your daily routines.

There’s no testing necessary to answer this question—it’s safe to say that every building in Calgary has hard water, meaning there are high concentrations of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium in it. However, much like the weather patterns, the entire city doesn’t experience the exact same thing. The water is actually a bit softer in north Calgary at about 166 PPM (mg/L), while the water in south Calgary clocks in at a harder 216 PPM, or parts per million. To put that into perspective, 121 to 180 mg/L is considered hard, while anything over 180 mg/L is very hard.

There are certainly places in Alberta with harder water—Grande Cache has a water hardness of 325 mg/L—but the water is hard enough in both north and south Calgary to cause issues for our plumbing systems that require regular service from a qualified plumber. Calgary's hard water is safe to drink and bathe in, but it's hard on your plumbing system because mineral deposits build up in the pipes over time, slowly choking off the water flow. In some severe cases, we've seen pipes with little more than a pinhole left for the water to pass through. That's why Calgary and other places with hard water may need hydro jetting more often than places with soft water. You can also discuss with your Calgary plumbers the possibility of installing a water softener.

If you notice a sudden spike in charges on your water bill, even though your regular routines haven't changed significantly, it makes sense to suspect a leak that requires the attention of a plumber. Calgary homeowners should note that the most common water-wasters by far are toilets that are constantly running and dripping faucets. If you have one of these issues in your home, it's likely causing the increase in your bill.

However, if your toilets and faucets aren't the culprits and you suspect a hidden plumbing leak in your water line, you can still conduct some troubleshooting to narrow down the possibilities. First, ensure that all faucets are turned off, toilets have not been flushed recently, and water-using appliances are not in use.

Check the position of the indicator on your water meter, then recheck it after approximately 10 minutes. If the indicator has moved or is moving on an analog meter or a digital meter is flashing a number other than zero, you likely do have a leak. Now, turn off the main water supply shutoff valve to cut water to the entire house and check the meter again. If it has stopped indicating a leak, the leak is located somewhere after the water shutoff valve. If it continues to indicate a leak, the leak is likely located on the line between the meter and the shutoff valve.

Either way, it's essential to contact us immediately for assistance from an experienced plumber. Calgary homes can suffer significant damage in a short amount of time from a hidden leak, so it needs to be addressed ASAP.

Although there are instances when you might be aware of the precise source of a plumbing problem and seek assistance from a plumber, residents are often uncertain about the reasons behind issues such as sewer backups, persistent clogged drains, or unexpected spikes in water bills. This is understandable, as we typically associate plumbing with the visible fixtures we interact with frequently. However, the truth is that the majority of our plumbing systems remain concealed behind walls, floors, or underground.

When you contact our team for help from a plumber, you can be confident that we will thoroughly inspect and diagnose the problem at hand. This comprehensive assessment will reveal the exact nature and location of the issue, enabling us to determine the most effective plan to resolve it. Rest assured that our experienced plumbers will expertly address the problem, ensuring that your system functions flawlessly once again with the help of a qualified plumber. Calgary plumbing inspection methods include a range of advanced techniques, including state-of-the-art video camera inspections, leak detection methods, and thorough visual inspections of all visible components of your plumbing system. With our expertise and cutting-edge tools, we leave no stone unturned in ensuring the optimal performance of your plumbing.

In a cold climate like the one in Calgary, hot water is a necessity for numerous purposes in our daily lives. If you find that your shower turns freezing cold when you're only halfway done, or your water never really seems hot enough, no matter how long you let the faucet run, those are clear signs that you need to contact a plumber. You don't need to just cope with hot water heaters that barely function when you can simply call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Calgary for water heater repair, water heater installation, and routine maintenance services.

When they get the news that they need water heater replacement service from an experienced plumber, property owners are usually not too happy about the hassle and expense that can come along with a replacement. However, there are actually some significant benefits to water heater replacement when it's handled by an expert plumber in Calgary. Residents often tell us that they have noticed a significant decrease in their energy bills after installing a tankless water heater system, and the convenience of having ample hot water whenever needed goes a long way toward making their household more comfortable.

Calgary has a unique plumbing situation that only arises when the snow falls: frozen pipes. Frozen pipes are extremely detrimental as they can lead to leaks and expensive water damage if not addressed promptly. Pipes freeze when the temperature drops significantly, causing the water inside the pipes to turn to ice, which expands and creates a brutal pressure that can lead to bursts and cracks. While our plumbers excel in frozen pipe repair, they want to ensure that you can avoid this type of plumbing repair.

Calgary homeowners, there are a few preventative measures you can take to avoid frozen pipes. First, insulate all exposed pipes. Use foam insulation sleeves or fiberglass insulation to wrap pipes in unheated areas, such as attics, basements, and garages. Furthermore, if you have water supply lines in your garage, keep the garage door closed as much as possible to prevent leaks. If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to contact our plumbers. Calgary experts on our team are always available to provide guidance, especially on something as crucial as this.

We also encourage you to keep the indoor temperatures above 15°C. This will help prevent the risk of any pipes freezing when temperatures drop below -30°C. And finally, the last tip from our licensed plumbers to prevent and avoid freezing pipes: you should shut off outdoor faucets before winter. Drain the hoses and disconnect them to ensure that no water is trapped inside, which can expand and cause damage. By taking these precautions, you can enjoy a worry-free winter.

Sometimes, our plumbing professionals encounter unusual issues. But like all jobs, some issues are more common for our plumbers. Calgary experiences harsh and cold winters, and the Chinook winds can lead to unexpected plumbing challenges, such as burst lines and frozen pipes. Frozen pipe repairs are extremely common for our team. However, with our reliable solutions and wide range of plumbing services, you can rest assured that your plumbing problems (common or uncommon) will be effectively handled.

As a property owner in Calgary, you will likely be calling our team for the following:

• Frozen pipes in winter. The pipes expand and contract, leading to bursts.
• Hard water buildup, which accumulates in pipes and appliances, creates clogs and damage over time.
• Leaky faucets and toilets
• Clogged drains and toilets from an accumulation of hair, grease, and soap scum.
• Water heater problems—especially in winter when they are in high usage.
• Low water pressure is a result of hard water and corrosion.
