Master Plumber: Plumbing Specialization

Though the field of plumbing is very broad and plumbers can cover a multitude of plumbing system issues, our plumbing masters specialize in five areas. These five areas include residential construction, residential service, commercial construction, commercial service, and industrial. See the difference that hiring Alberta's version of a “master plumber” can make, no matter which of these services you're in need of.

Let's explore what each specialization entails:

Residential Construction

This is the service you'll want to employ when you're embarking upon a home build. After the basic structure and framing of your home have been completed, it's time to install a high-quality plumbing system from a plumbing master or "master plumber." Plumbing will go through various stages. We'll install the rough plumbing lines in the beginning stages and then after the build is complete, we'll go in and put on the finishing touches.

Residential Service

Residential construction is the process of installing a plumbing system for a new build, while residential services involve work for plumbing systems already in place. We can cover a wide range of issues for residential service. A comprehensive assortment of these services includes drain repair, leaking pipe repairs, drain cleaning, and trenchless sewer line repair. Whatever repairs or maintenance you need for your residential property, our "master plumbers" have it handled.

Commercial Construction

Commercial construction is similar to residential construction. During the process of build for a commercial building, our plumbing masters will install the initial plumbing system after the framing stage, going in at various points throughout the process to finish the job. You can employ our commercial plumbing services for all kinds of commercial builds, such as restaurants, cafés, hotels, warehouses, swimming pools, and more! Commercial buildings tend to use a lot more water than residential properties, so we know how important it is to ensure the highest quality plumbing systems are in place. That's where you can depend on Alberta's “master plumber.”

Commercial Service

Due to the high usage of commercial properties’ plumbing systems, they're bound to suffer from time to time. When this happens, our plumbing masters are more than adept at handling any repairs, maintenance, or replacements. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Calgary can handle all your commercial plumbing services, from leaky pipes to drainage issues, there's no shortage of jobs our version of a “master plumber” can compete for your business!

Industrial Plumbing

Industrial plumbing services are like upscaled commercial services. This version of a “master plumber” can work on a network of pipes with many components to ensure the optimal function of industrial warehouses, properties, and systems. Whether you need an industrial plumbing installation or repair and replacement services, you can depend on qualified plumbing masters to help.

The Process of Becoming a Journeyman Plumber in Alberta—Our Version of a “Master Plumber”

Many aspects go into making Alberta's version of a “master plumber.” As mentioned above, a plumbing master undergoes four years of training in 12-month increments. This includes at least 1,560 hours of training in the field, as well as eight weeks of knowledge-based or classroom instruction. It's important for plumbers to find plumbing companies that are willing to train apprentices to get the necessary practice and instruction to obtain a plumber licence and work their way towards becoming Alberta's version of a “master plumber.”

For those plumbers coming from other provinces, certifications not earned in Alberta are still valid, as long as the certification has been earned in Canada. All plumbers, however, must have an Alberta Apprentice and Industry Training certificate to work in the field.

After obtaining a plumber’s licence and becoming a plumbing master, the next stage is acquiring a Red Seal certification. This is a nationally recognized certificate that indicates that you are an expert in your field of practice and study. It is an endorsement that shows, both on a federal and provincial level, that you are an expert in the plumbing industry, more widely known as a “master plumber.”
