Leak Repair
There is nothing worse in a home or business than water damage. There are many causes of water leaks, including frozen water lines, a bad toilet seal, or a cracked drain line are but a few examples. If you are having water issues in your home or business, you can call JW Brian Plumbing and Heating for fast, proffesional service and we will have you dry in no time.
Faucet Repair and Replacement
Are you going crazy listening to your dripping shower while you try to sleep? Or is your kitchen spray nozzle only coming out half of the holes or at an angle? Perhaps its time to have JW Brian Plumbing and Heating come out and repair or replace those pesky old faucets. The option to repair or replace depends on a variety of factors, including what type of faucet, age, brand, availability of parts, and of course a client’s preference. As a rule, kitchen and basin faucets are simply replaced due to the fact that they are relatively inexpensive and accessible to swap out without damage to the sinks they are attached to. A shower, however, is usually repaired, if possible, due to the fact that in order to change the valve, there will be damage to either the tub wall, or if accessible, the back of the shower faucet wall. That is unless of course, the job is to replace the bath faucet.
Toilet Repair
Is your toilet leaking, won’t flush, or won’t shut off? Time to bring in the experts, JW Brian Plumbing and Heating. We can help you with what can be one the most finicky yet important fixtures in your home; with the many brands, styles, and ways a toilet operates, it is essential to have an experienced plumber. Toilets are often repairable, however sometimes it is best to replace it. We will provide an assessment and advise on your best options.
Sump Pump Repair
Sump pumps are one of the most important plumbing systems in your home or business and yet are one of the most overlooked. Installed in the lowest area of your house, typically in your basement, a sump pump collects and then pumps water from under the ground, forcing it away from your house to avoid water issues in your basement.
Who needs a sump pump?
While a sump pump is always a good idea, often little or no thought is given to them until there is a flood in your basement. For houses built in an area with where there have been previous floods or basements that tend to feel damp, a sump pump is especially a good idea to avoid unwanted issues.
How do I choose a sump pump?
JW Brian Plumbing and Heating recommends using only high quality sump pumps along with a backup sump pump and alarm system. There are several types of backup sump pumps available, including battery powered and water powered units, ideal for power outages.
Alarms can be as simple as a water sensor near the sump pit activating an alarm in the house to ones that are tied into your home security system alerting you to imminent flooding via your smart phone.
It is important to remember that sump pumps should be tested yearly to ensure it is functioning properly. Should you experience a malfunctioning sump pump, please contact us.
Frost-Free Hose Bib Repair
Hose Bibs go by several names; outdoor tap, hose valve, hydrant, that “hose-valve-thingymagig”, whatever you want to call it, a hose bib will on occasion require maintenance or replacement.
Living in Edmonton means very cold winters with temperatures often as low as -40°C. All modern homes are now installed with what we call frost free hose bibs. These low temperatures mean outside hose bibs may be damaged if not properly installed or prepared for winter, even if they are frost free hose bibs.
Always remember to disconnect your hose and any attachements from your hose bib in the fall to prevent freeze up and the splitting of the water supply line.
If your having trouble with your hose bib, please call JW Brian Plumbing and Heating at (780) 249-1496 for more information and to arrange an in-home consultation.
Hot Water Tank Repair
Hot water tanks are an essential piece of plumbing equipment, and when they malfunction, it can wreak havoc and cause damage in your home. When you are having hot water tank issues, bring in the experts, JW Brian Plumbing and Heating. We have decades of experience servicing and if necessary, replacing the many types and models of hot water tanks. The decision to repair or replace a hot water tank is generally determined by a variety of factors, including the age of the tank, the nature of the repair, availability of parts and naturally the cost. Let’s look at some of these factors in a little more detail.
Age
As a general rule, a person does not want to invest in a expensive repair on a tank that is older than 10 years, as the tank is nearing the end of it’s life span. However, a relatively inexpensive fix, such as a leaking drain valve would make sense to repair.
Nature of the repair
Should a hot water tank start leaking from the actual shell of the tank, it is shot beyond repair. Call JW Brian Plumbing and Heating for a fast, reasonably priced replacement.
Availability of parts
There are times when parts are unavailable due to supply chain issues, or simply the products are no longer manufactured. Obviously, if parts are no longer manufactured, the decision would be to replace. Supply chain issues create their own frustrations and dilemma for the client.
Tankless Hot Water Repair
Tankless hot water heaters, or sometimes called ‘on demand water heaters’ are a great modern-day substitute for the traditional hot water tank that many of us grew up with. Instead of keeping a large vessel of water hot all the time, they simply heat the water when required, therefore being more efficient in regards to gas consumption. Another big advantage to a tankless hot water heater is that you never have to worry about running out of hot water. Tankless hot water heaters do however require more maintenance than a traditional hot water tank, such as filter cleaning, descaling, and are subject to vent freezing and clogging in the winter. If you’re having trouble with your tankless hot water heater, or looking to have the recommended annual maintenance done, feel free to contact JW Brian Plumbing and Heating for fast, reasonably priced service.
