Calgary Emergency Plumbers

If you haven't already shut your main valve, you should start there. While you're waiting for a professional to arrive, you can also address smaller leaks. If you have plumber's tape in your toolbox, temporarily stopping leaks may be possible. If not, we recommend using rags, towels, and buckets to prevent further expensive water damage.

All outdoor fixtures and pipes are vulnerable to freezing during Calgary winters. Pipes that run through unheated garages are also particularly problematic. Lastly, keep an eye on any lines that run near the outer walls of your home. Frozen pipes are more common when temperatures are cold, so try to keep your thermostat setting above 10 °C. All lines exposed to cold temperatures should have insulation. A Calgary emergency plumber can thaw out the solid ice via a heat gun and apply thermal wraps to ensure your pipes don't clog up again.

Yes, most plumbers provide 24-hour plumbing service. Calgary plumbing systems don't wait for business hours to begin before they fail, and therefore, always need fast response time. Leaks don't stop at 5 p.m. and neither do we.

Professional plumbers know that accidents might happen anytime, so they're always willing and ready to provide pipe repairs, fixture replacement or anything else you might need.

Providing any specific repair cost estimate is difficult for something we can't see ourselves. Costs depend largely on the type of repairs needed, any necessary replacement parts and time of labour.

Our team doesn't charge additional fees for Calgary emergency plumbing services and all our prices are presented before repairs begin. You shouldn't have to pay additional fees for emergencies or worry about additional charges. With our pricing model, you never have to worry about additional emergency prices. That said, feel free to check with us about any past emergency services we have provided and what their results added up to. However, that will merely be an estimate, because every individual plumbing emergency is different.

Mostly, if you remain extra vigilant about routine maintenance at the very minimum you only require an annual plumbing inspection and diagnosis from a Calgary emergency plumber. If you get help from one of our skilled plumbers, they will find out what caused your problem in the first place. They will recommend preventative solutions to stop that issue from coming back, such as routine maintenance, backflow prevention or minor repairs. Some situations have simple solutions. For example, frozen pipes are easily preventable with proper insulation. Other faults in Calgary require more complicated solutions. For instance, a sewer leak might indicate you need specialized repairs like a trenchless sewer repair.

In general, scheduling a regular maintenance appointment is the best way to avoid every potential plumbing emergency in Calgary. Routine drain cleaning services, plumbing inspections and preventative maintenance from a Calgary emergency plumber are strategies that can help find issues in your drainage systems, supply lines and plumbing fixtures — and fix them before they become emergencies. The rule of thumb is to take any warning sign seriously, whether clogged drains, recurring backed-up toilets or sewer gas smells. These generally indicate an underlying problem further down the drain. If you don’t remember the last time you had your pipes cleaned or inspected, now is the time.

That said, there is more that you could do in your household to avoid drain and sewer line issues:

Do Not Flush:

• Paper towels, tissues
• Wet wipes
• Q-tips
• Dental floss
• Cigarette buds
• Feminine hygiene products

Do Not Pour Down Sink:

• Oil or grease
• Food waste
