Plumbing
Bonded 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 repipe. 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 repipe your whole house I am happy to give you a free estimate. Sorry I am not currently offering drain cleaning, sump repair or 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 colour usually with copper coloured 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 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 repipe 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 crawlspace to access the piping is ideal. Or a 2 story home with access to 2nd floor plumbing underneath via a drop ceiling.
Hot Water Tanks
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 or. Install generally takes about 2 hours. There are other sizes available for tight spaces or smaller applications. For current prices to have installed please give me a call.
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 no longer offer fireplace servicing. When installing a new gas appliance a permit must be pulled with Technical Safety BC and I will take care of that for you.
Irrigation Blow Out
Before the winter freeze anyone with irrigation lines, typically PVC, for their gardens needs to have them blown out with air so they do not freeze and rupture. Usually this can be done in about an hour depending on the number of zones. Typical setup would be between 1 and 10 valves.
