You spend more time in your home than anywhere else, so naturally, your residence will be affected by wear and tear over time. An aging pipe or plumbing fixture is a common culprit for creating challenges; therefore, routine maintenance is the best way to protect your water and sewer lines from potential failures. Besides natural occurrences like tree roots or soil shifting, there is a list of preventative maintenance that homeowners can consider with the assistance of their certified St. Albert plumbers.
Some of the popular services for residential plumbing St. Albert residents can contact us for include:
Drain Cleaning Services
Your sewer line and household waste lines are responsible for removing wastewater from your home, but over time, those lines collect mineral deposits and other debris that will eventually create stubborn blockages. When you experience slow drains, foul odours, and frequent backups, you will know something is lurking deeper down the drains. You might scrub your sink openings with vinegar and baking soda paste or clear your P-trap, but you can only go so far down that drain with a snake or auger.
Untreated drain clogs can compromise the function of your pipes and lead to significant complications, including sewer backups and other forms of damage. Household plungers and drain snakes will only provide temporary relief for your pipes. That’s why getting routine drain cleaning services from our St. Albert plumbers is crucial for your home’s plumbing maintenance. Our cleaning solutions include the advanced HydroScrub® Jetting device—a high-pressure water system that blasts away deep-sitting blockages, leaving no trace behind in your now-clear drains.
Common Causes for Clogged Drains
Are you experiencing slow draining in your tub or sink? Clogged drains aren’t just a nuisance—they could escalate into bigger problems and affect other fixtures sharing the same drain line. When clogs return, there is likely an underlying issue in your drainage system.
The most common culprits for clogged drain lines our St. Albert plumbers encounter include:
- Hair
- Soap residue
- Wet wipes
- Paper towels
- Tissues
- Dental floss
- Kitchen grease
Additionally, some severe underlying issues that cause clogged drains often involve cracked or burst pipes, as well as tree root intrusion, especially for sewer drain lines.
When you hire a St. Albert plumber for a routine drain cleaning service, they will inspect the condition of your pipes to ensure they remain in good condition for years to come. However, if they are in poor condition, it may be necessary to complete repairs or even replacement after the cleaning.
St. Albert Plumber’s Plumbing Repair Services
You may not always think about how many fixtures you rely on during your daily routine—until one of them fails. Kitchen plumbing issues are pretty common, from inoperable garburators to clogged sinks or dishwasher drains. Before anything gets worse, you should call your experienced plumber. St. Albert homeowners will get peace of mind knowing that we are equipped for dependable inspections, repairs, and parts replacements for your home plumbing repairs. We guarantee that it will be done right.
Pipe Repair
This is a vast realm that would normally require a book to cover, from leaky pipe joints to slab leaks and burst pipes. Minor issues handled by our St. Albert plumbers involve clearing clogs from your pipes, whereas major issues, such as a sewer line collapse, require trenchless repair methods.
Slab Leaks
Your home is built on a concrete slab, underneath which plumbing lines were installed during construction. Slab leaks are a type of plumbing leak that our St. Albert plumbers deal with, which occurs primarily during soil shifting or home settling when the corners of your foundation are settling into place. While that’s a natural occurrence and your house is designed to settle, it's still possible that your lines can get damaged during the process. By hiring a certified plumber, St. Albert homeowners will know whether they’ve received poor installation service from their construction company or if the situation is a natural issue.
Frozen Pipes
Uninsulated pipes located against basement walls, in your garage, or in other areas can freeze and burst. Suppose you’re experiencing low water pressure in the winter; do not force it; instead, check if you have a frozen pipe in an unheated area. Perhaps you didn’t drain your outdoor hose bib, and the remaining water froze and expanded. If you have no means to thaw the frozen pipes, contact your St. Albert plumber. St. Albert homeowners who have hair dryers or space heaters can use these methods to try to thaw their frozen pipes in the meantime.
Corrosion
Metal pipes in old homes are susceptible to corrosion. Unfortunately, those older lines will only deteriorate further, making replacement inevitable. Cast iron pipes, once highly effective and efficient, are porous and prone to clogs if not regularly maintained. Your St. Albert plumber does not recommend using corrosive chemical drain cleaners, as that would accelerate the deterioration process. If you have an issue with a clog, no matter the condition of your plumbing system, it's best to schedule service with our St. Albert plumbers.
Water Heater Repair
Were you startled by cold water in the shower one morning? There are many reasons why that might happen. If your pilot light ever goes out, it could be due to a faulty or old thermocouple that shuts off the gas supply. A hot water tank also collects a significant amount of sediment over time, which must be cleaned out and flushed. Other problems include the unit being too small to provide adequate hot water for your home or just too old to continue working efficiently. Drain valves corrode over time and clog. When they leak, your floor could suffer from water damage.
Whether you have a tank-based unit or a tankless water heater, hot water heaters require regular maintenance services to remain efficient as they age. This is a job best left to your expert plumber. St. Albert homeowners who rely on a licensed plumber for routine maintenance will always have the support they need to keep their water heaters functioning properly and manage their water bills effectively. A St. Albert plumber will also inform you when it may be time to upgrade to a newer unit to manage your hot water reserves better.
