Plumbing
Bonded, Worksafe BC coverage and insured, I have over 18 years experience working in the plumbing and gas fitting trades. I received my Red Seal certificate in plumbing in 2009 after a 4 year apprenticeship and since then have been installing and servicing plumbing and gas fixtures. Roughly 10 years working in new residential and commercial construction. 7 years of service and repair plumbing, renovations and re-pipe. Followed up with a year and a half working on custom swimming pools. Water pipe, drainage, radiant flooring, pump replacement, fixtures such as tubs, showers, toilets, and sinks. Servicing and repairs or replacing parts. Appliances installs or hookups such as dishwashers and gas stoves. If you want to renovate, add an additional bathroom or re-pipe your whole house I am happy to give you a free estimate. Sorry I am not currently offering drain cleaning, furnace installations or repairs.
Poly B Removal
Many houses built in the late 80s and throughout the 90s have Poly B waterlines. They are a dark grey color usually with copper colored fittings and rings. Over time the lines become brittle and crack or split. Some insurance companies are now refusing to provide home insurance for home owners in town homes or detached houses until these pipes are removed and replaced. I will replace all the lines with new PEX/Vipert piping and any other supply lines or Poly B related parts or valves. In many cases this can be done in 1 or 2 days. Poly B re-pipe jobs are looked at on a per house basis, meaning some houses may be too large for me to take on. Single story with a basement or 4′ high crawlspace to access the piping is ideal. Or a 2 story home with access to 2nd floor plumbing underneath via a drop ceiling. Give me a call and I can come by for a free estimate.
Hot Water Tank Installation
I install John Wood Pro Line commercial grade hot water tanks. They are available in various sizes such as 40, 50 or 60 gallon and either running on electric or natural gas. Install generally takes about 2 hours. There are other sizes available for tight spaces or smaller applications. Currently my installed prices including taxes, for standard size 40 gallon tanks for a residential home is approximately $1600 for an electric tank and $2100 for a natural gas tank.
Gas Fitting
Residential and light commercial gas fitting. New gas line installs, connecting gas appliances, connecting gas meters, BBQ boxes and patio fire tables, heaters and BBQ’s or BBQ conversions if the customer supplies the conversion kit. I do not offer fireplace servicing. When installing a new gas appliance a permit must be pulled with the local city or Technical Safety BC and I will take care of that for you.
Appliance Repair
I do get calls for appliance repair, however this is not something I do. You must call an appliance repair technician for repairs or servicing of appliances such as dishwashers or washing machines. I can do new installs only. I am happy to remove a dishwasher for you and install a new one.
