Modern Saskatoon Water Heaters: Does Your Water Heater Need Repairs?


Saskatoon is known for its rather chilly temperatures during the autumn and winter months, so possessing an efficient and powerful water heater is a very real concern for any home. As these heaters can break down from time to time, let us quickly address a handful of the indicators that a tank may need to be replaced. Types of Hot Water Tanks in Saskatoon There are a few different categories of water heaters that currently exist. Generally, these can be grouped in to those which have traditional hot water tanks and the "tank-less" varieties that simply heat water as needed as opposed to storing it for longer periods of time. Tank-less varieties can be more efficient and they are often chosen within homes that lack a basement or otherwise have only limited amounts of space.

Drain Cleaning in Saskatoon: Why Entrust It Only to Professionals?


A clogged or blocked drain can present a real problem. Water can back up within pipes, an unpleasant odour could emanate throughout the home and in some cases, even unsanitary conditions may be present. Drain cleaning in Saskatoon is therefore a very real priority. This is especially the case when considering that temperatures can drop to as low as -40ºC during the winter. Pipes could freeze much easier and the risk of a burst is dramatically increased. Why should a professional plumbing service always be called in such an event? Skills and Knowledge Clearing a blocked drain is not necessarily an easy task to undertake. It can be difficult to locate the source of the issue. The blockage may have occurred outside of the home or underneath the soil. Without knowing how to address such issues, the property owner risks damaging the pipe even further.

Important Factors to Consider When Looking for a Plumber in Saskatoon


Although the median salary (as of 2013) for a family in Saskatoon was approximately $90,000 dollars, most still need to keep a close eye on their budget. Plumbing issues can often raise several concerns, for some tasks are liable to be quite an investment. However, this can be offset should one know what to look for when choosing a local service provider. What are some of the key issues that should always be addressed before committing to one professional over another? Emergency Services? No one expects a drain to clog or a pipe to burst. In fact, these incidents tend to happen when they are least expected. Any modern plumber, such as the ones from Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd., should be able to provide emergency call-out services 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Hot Water Tanks: Why Maintenance Is Best Left to the Professionals


Saskatoon is known for its cold weather conditions. Not surprisingly, hot water tanks are a common fixture in households throughout the city. This appliance, therefore, has to be in optimum condition so it can heat your home as reliably as possible. Hot water tanks are unfortunately not immune to breakdowns. With proper maintenance, however, those performance issues should be far and few in between.

Preventative Property Maintenance: Why Drain Cleaning Must Be Regular


While issues such as tile discolouration are outward concerns, we should also keep in mind that these very same substances will cause drains and pipes to narrow if they are not regularly monitored. Additionally, heavy amounts of rain can quickly cause a drain to back up. One solution to mitigate the chances of this from occurring is to employ a service that supplies regular drain cleaning and maintenance. As with many tasks around the home, a bit of preparation can go a long way towards combating drain and pipe blockage. Unfortunately, the property owner will rarely be able to perform such a task without the knowledge that trained drain cleaners, like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd, have. It is therefore clear to appreciate why the expertise of a third-party provider can come in so very handy.

To resolve plumbing issues successfully, you need to have at least the basic plumbing tools, such as an adjustable wrench, basin wrench, hand auger, locking pliers, metal file, needle-nose pliers, pipe wrench, plumber’s putty, plumbers tape and others. Moreover, it is very important for you to have plumbing skills to resolve plumbing problems on your own effectively. You don’t know exactly when you’d have plumbing problems, so if there is an emergency situation, you may not be ready for it. That’s why it would be better for you to choose a reliable plumbing company in Saskatoon in advance. Experienced plumbers have all the necessary tools and equipment and can help you anytime.

Professional Drain Cleaning: When Plungers, Snakes Don’t Work on Clogs


Professional drain cleaning is almost always an inevitable last resort for any tenant or homeowner in Saskatoon and elsewhere. Quite often it happens that the kitchen or toilet drains get too dense with grease, fat, and soap buildups that water can no longer flow through, and the solution requires more than just a plunger. Sometimes, however, the cause of blockage is outside the home. Problems may occur between the house and the exterior environment. Clogged drains may also be caused by winter temperatures dipping as low as -12ºC. A congested drain can cause some unpleasant issues, from interior flooding to foul smells. In such serious cases, it’s best to have plumbing experts, with their technical knowledge and experience, to deal with the challenges.

The Importance of Regular Plumbing Maintenance Services in Saskatoon


Here’s a brief look at why regular maintenance can prevent potentially costly plumbing issues for homes in Saskatoon. What are some of the basic services provided? On-The-Fly Services One of the issues with household plumbing is that accidents can happen when they are least expected. When we consider that Saskatoon boasts nearly 225,000 residents and the winters here can be extremely harsh, it is not entirely uncommon to encounter frozen pipes and other potential disasters such as clogged drains. It is therefore critical for emergency services to be offered 24 hours a day. If not, costly damage can occur within a short period of time. Most reputable plumbing agencies will offer this level of responsiveness.

Drain Cleaners Reveal the Most Common Things that can Clog your Drain


Time and again, homeowners have been warned to mind what they’re putting down the drain or flushing down their toilets, and time and again some of them simply forget to do so, resulting in said drains and toilets getting clogged. That in mind, what exactly should you not let into them? Professional drain cleaners reveal the biggest banes of a clean and working drain and offer expert tips on some ways you can get rid of them. The Big Four There are a lot of things that can go down your drain aside from water, but there are four things that make clogged drains possible, namely: hair, soap scum, coffee grounds and cooking grease. The latter in particular (which can come from cooking oil, butter or margarine, food scraps or even dairy products) tends to stick to the insides of your pipes, and can cause build up over time and block your home’s pipes.

A Saskatoon Plumber Can Ensure That Your Water is Drinkable and Safe


Saskatoon homeowners are often concerned about the water that is piped into their homes. Drinking water should be clean of contaminants to ensure the safety of the residents while hard water should be converted to soft to prolong the life of the pipes and ensure the comfort of the people. Thankfully, plumbing companies like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd. can install important systems that ensure the water you drink or use is at its best. Here are a few examples: Water Softener In Canada, hard water is a great concern since a lot of the sources of water pass through a lot of mineral deposits. Hard water is called that because it contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. Having that pass through your pipes can wear them down prematurely, plus scale forms at faucets, showerheads and pipes; this can eventually clog your pipes or damage them.

Many Saskatoon homeowners had the misfortune of having to deal with a clogged drain or two.

Prevention If you want to avoid the entire mess of clogged drains, you’ll need to be attentive as to how your drains behave.

Saskatoon Water Heaters: Is It Time to Replace your Water Heater?

If you’re among the people experiencing problems with their Saskatoon water heaters, here are some telltale signs that you might need to say goodbye to your old one.

Saskatoon Plumbing Services Can Help Prevent Water Heater Backdrafts


One of the more dangerous issues that can develop is for your water heater to start back drafting. Surprisingly enough, it also happens to be one of the common problems encountered by homeowners and is often undetected a lot. “Back drafting” refers to the phenomenon of the exhaust gases from your water heater being released into your home instead of outside. Considering that the main gas emitted by your water heater is carbon monoxide, your family can end up in danger. In addition, the backdraft raises the humidity of your home, making the occupants more uncomfortable and rooms more difficult to heat or cool. Another consequence of backdraft is that the gases can condense on the top of your water heater; these fumes happen to be very corrosive, thus resulting in damage to your heater.

Handling Tricky Hot Water Tanks in Saskatoon with a Plumber’s Help


Water heaters make hot baths and potable hot water possible, making them a godsend in countries with extremely icy weather, such as Canada. Without these invaluable devices, baths would be uncomfortably cold (freezing, even) and hot beverages would be much harder to create. Like other major appliances, however, water heaters need to be carefully maintained or they will be prone to breakdowns and malfunctions. Daily use can cause a lot of problems for water heaters: sediment buildup, rusting, and leaks are but some of the issues that plague these home systems. Damages can also accumulate on heaters over time, so issues such as leaks and rusting could also appear. Homeowners should stay on top of their water heaters’ conditions if they want to continue using the appliances. Even the simplest of maintenance tasks, such as cleaning hot water tanks in Saskatoon, can potentially prolong the useful life of a heater.

Making Drain Cleaning in Saskatoon Easier with a Professional’s Help


Of the various plumbing issues a household would run into, clogging remains a perennial problem, no matter the number of fixes or upgrades made to a plumbing system. Clogging is caused by the buildup of soap scum, hair, and other debris that find their way into drains, so it is not the fault of the plumbing hardware, but of the user. Homeowners can try to be careful with their drains to prevent clogs, but over long periods of time, clogs eventually form regardless of the precautions taken. It is easy to spot a developing clog; if a sink, tub, or shower noticeably takes longer to drain than usual, it might have some buildup somewhere down the pipe. Homeowners need to act upon clogged drains fast, because letting a drain run while clogged could lead to a nasty overflow, or worse, a burst pipe. There are two ways to approach a clogged drain: either use a liquid plumbing solution, or actually call an expert in drain cleaning in Saskatoon, such as Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd

Hot Water Tanks in Saskatoon: A Reliable Option for Hot Water at Home


Canada’s relatively cooler climate requires its residents to equip their houses with effective water heating systems to provide running warm water in the showers and faucets. A typical Canadian home consumes an average of 75 liters of hot water each day, mostly used when temperatures drop to an extreme -25 degrees Celsius. Among water heating systems, storage hot water tanks are still among the most preferred as they are durable and can hold a good amount of hot water for a household’s daily use. Other than hot water tanks in Saskatoon, however, Canadians may also prefer the on-demand tankless design or a combined structure. With their extensive need for warm water, Canadians regulate their hot water costs by improving the efficiency of their current systems or installing a drain water heat recovery (DWHR) device to lower the volume of heated water.

Saskatoon Drain Cleaning: Proper Toilet Management to Avoid Clogs


The toilet is one plumbing fixture in the house that is frequently used. It is flushed several times in a single day and at times, it can get to a point where it could get clogged and overflow. Nothing is more alarming than an overflowing toilet because it can ruin the floor and the toilet itself, not to mention it could leave a bad odour in the bathroom. More often than not, toilet blockages are due to certain items getting stuck in the pipes, making drain cleaning in Saskatoon difficult. A rule of thumb when using the toilet is to flush only once per use. More times than that and more water will be added to the tank, which can’t go anywhere and could lead to the overflow. If the water isn’t going down, attempts to flush the toilet can lead to more problems. The solution to this is to first turn off the water supply to the toilet before flushing it until needed. Putting newspapers or towels around the base of the toilet can absorb water from the overflow.

Hire a Plumber in Saskatoon to Help Identify and Fix Plumbing Leaks


Plumbing leaks can happen any time. Sometimes the plumbing system is overlooked and left unchecked, and the homeowner isn’t aware that there is corrosion, rust, or other damages on the various plumbing fixtures and pipes around the house. It doesn’t take much time to inspect the plumbing system, but busy homeowners can hire a plumber in Saskatoon to do the job for them. It’s important to keep in mind that plumbing leaks are responsible for a large portion of water wastage and property damage in the country. Failing to identify or fix a leak can lead to serious consequences to the structural integrity of the house, making wood and drywall rot, and encouraging moulds to develop. The worst part is that it can harm the home’s foundation. This is why it is vital to pay attention to the condition of the home’s plumbing system.

Consult Saskatoon Plumbing Services If You Need Sump Pumps at Home


If you’re unfamiliar with a sump pump, consider yourself lucky: basically, sump pumps are only needed if your basement is prone to flooding or wetness. This means that you would not much use for one if your basement is relatively dry all throughout the year. Additionally, sump pumps are not always the ideal solution to a water problem at home. Certain things, such as an outdoor curtain drain, or proper gutter installation, could be more effective. Sump pumps are the last resort if the flooding problem in your property is extensive. A Saskatoon plumbing expert like one from Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, Ltd. can help you determine if you need a sump pump.

A Reliable Saskatoon Plumber Can Address the Effects of Hard Water


Minerals on water, particularly magnesium and calcium, might be beneficial for your health, but the same cannot be said for your plumbing; in fact, water containing these two minerals, more known as hard water, leads to some of the most common plumbing woes at home. The effects of hard water are not only difficult to clean off your plumbing fixtures, but can also cause clogs in your pipes. In these cases, a simple do-it-yourself drain cleaning wouldn’t help, which is why seeking a reliable Saskatoon plumber is recommended. How to Identify Hard Water Water becomes “hard” when it contains a high concentration of multivalent cations from common sources such as calcium and magnesium. Water collects these two minerals as it flows through the ground; at times, even boiling cannot remove the water’s hardness, a condition known as permanent hardness. Usually, hardness is measured in grains of mineral per gallon (GPG), and hard water comes with a reading of 3.5 GPG or above.

Prep your Saskatoon Water Heaters: Saskatchewan Chill to Last Further


In February of last year, Saskatchewan experienced near record low temperatures. While this is not expected to be repeated this year, residents of both Regina and Saskatoon can still expect extremely cold weather, with forecasters saying temperatures can drop to as low as -28 degrees in February. The freezing climate means families should fire up their furnaces and trusty hot water tanks in Saskatoon in order to live through the chill. Various perils exist in winter time, but one stands out of the rest: hypothermia. It happens when the body’s core temperature drops below 96 degrees Fahrenheit.

Saskatoon Drain Cleaning Pros Warn Against Flushing “Flushable” Wipes

London isn’t the only city being invaded by these monstrosities—even cities throughout the U.S. and Canada are dealing with “fatbergs” on a regular basis. These “flushable” wipes aren’t only the scourge of city sewer management teams, but also of Saskatoon drain cleaning pros from firms like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, Ltd. Unlike toilet paper which quickly breaks down in water, wet wipes tend to stay intact and accumulate inside sewer systems; causing blockages on sewer lines and hazards to the environment.

Saskatoon Plumbers Ensure Hot Water Systems are Good Through Winter

Icicles are often the result, or precursors, of ice dams on the eaves of roofs. Roofers have ways of dealing with them, one of which is to spray them slowly with hot water. The hot water softens the ice enough for careful ice-picking to finish the job. This method often works with other techniques, such as raking snow off the roof and using melt socks. An outdoor hot water delivery system can conveniently provide the needed water hot water supply, using a garden hose. Outdoor hot water delivery systems, which can be installed by Saskatoon plumbing services like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, also have other uses in warmer months, such as washing the car or the dog, among others.

Saskatoon Plumbing Companies Give You Tasty Sparkling Water at Home

For this, the quality of drinking water must be nothing short of acceptable under existing quality guidelines. To put it simply, it is advisable that every household must have filtration systems like reverse osmosis (RO) in place. Using a filter with the diameter smaller than a hair strand, RO systems installed by professional Saskatoon plumbers are effective in removing most water-borne pathogens. Saskatoon plumbing companies like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning offer topnotch water treatment systems from local and global brands. Everpure, for instance, offers up to three-stage RO systems that have a larger sphere of protection, notably filtering out particles that give water a bad smell.

Get Saskatoon Hot Water Tanks or Go Tankless? Make the Right Decision

Traditional water heaters require the installation of hot water tanks in Saskatoon homes. This is best installed by experts like Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd. The tank may also take up a lot of space in a room. The average home requires a 30 to 50 gallon tank of water; this usually often ends up in your garage or basement. If you don’t have the space, maybe a tankless heater is a better option. The other thing to remember is that traditional water heaters can be slow to heat or to replace when the water in the tank has been used up. Once the tank has been emptied, it is refilled and the heating process begins again. The problem is that warming up 30 to 50 gallons of water will take time, leaving you without hot water in the meanwhile. Take note, however, that established plumbers have had many years of experience installing and maintaining traditional heaters; you can expect lower costs for setting things up and keeping the tank working.

You can purchase mesh screens and place them on your drains so they can catch larger dregs before they get through the drain. Mesh screens are inexpensive and simple, yet are effective in preventing future drain clogs. Also, get yourself a plunger as a solution for minor clogs. If you run into severe clogs, however, you can call on professional Saskatoon drain cleaners or licensed plumbers, such as the experts from Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd, to help you out. Established sales and service plumbing companies often have someone available on call to address any emergency drain problems they may be called upon to fix.

Versatility is Key When Installing Saskatoon Plumbing on Small Homes

Today, modern society is reliving the nomadic culture that defined many early civilizations, only under more convenient conditions. For instance, mini dwellings host their own electrical wiring and plumbing, much like an ordinary house. However, its size means a Saskatoon plumber can install working plumbing with fewer materials, and make repairs or find leaks and other faults more easily. Nevertheless, there are several challenges in plumbing a tiny home. Among the most prominent is the choice of toilet, normal flush versus compost. Normal flush systems are your conventional toilets hooked up to a septic system, while compost toilets simply bury the waste. A normal flush requires permits and inspections, but a compost toilet will reek of fecal matter for miles.
