Reasons Why Many Saskatoon Plumbers Recommend Tankless Water Heaters


In the past, all water heaters required a separate tank to store and subsequently heat water. Modern technology now provides Saskatoon residents with the possibility to do away with such tanks. Why might a plumber prefer this option and what benefits can a tankless unit provide?

Energy Efficiency

It can be argued that the most important advantage of a tankless water heater revolves around its efficiency. Water can be heated up faster and less energy is wasted during the process. This is not possible with more traditional models. In fact, many studies have found that these heaters can save a family as much as $100 dollars per year. In other words, the unit will pay for itself over time and any up-front costs will be offset.

Your Kitchen Sink Strainer: Drain Cleaning’s Day-to-Day Essential


Calling the plumbers shouldn’t be your main tactic for maintaining efficient drains. As a responsible homeowner, you can do day-to-day drain cleaning yourself, while leaving emergencies and extraordinary issues to Saskatoon drain cleaning pros.

Oftentimes, this simply means knowing how to properly use, install, and replace a very simple tool: the sink strainer.

Know your type

The sink strainer is the basket-like, catch-all apparatus plugged into a sink’s hole. It helps keep food particles, other waste, and even utensils and jewelry from going down the drain, preventing clogging, back-ups, and other problems. The proper use of strainers starts with recognizing which type you have – if you do have one installed (and you should!).

Should I Hire a Pro? Three Plumbing Problems You Should Never Ignore


A leaking faucet may not seem like much, but it can actually cost you thousands of dollars in your utility bills over the course of a year! This is why any plumbing issues should be resolved by a professional plumber as soon as possible.

Although there are certain plumbing issues that can wait until a more convenient day opens up in your schedule, there are certain issues that you should never ignore:

Reoccurring Toilet Clogs

In some cases, a toilet clog is more of a nuisance than a plumbing emergency. When clogs occur often, however, the problem may be your toilet rather than your pipes. This is especially true if your current toilet is an old low flush model. When toilets clog occur too often, you may be at risk of an unwanted sewage backup.

Drain Cleaning Equipment: Some of the Basics and What You Need to Know


Although most of us strive to keep our drains free from dirt and debris, it is virtually inevitable that they will need to be cleaned from time to time. Some of the most common reasons that a drain could become clogged include the presence of food particles, foreign objects, hair, soap scum and even hardened deposits of grease. In the most serious cases, do-it-yourself products will hardly be sufficient. These are the scenarios when professional Saskatoon drain cleaners can be required. What type of equipment do they use and why has it proven to be so very effective?

Rods

The principle behind the average rod is actually very simple. It is a semi-rigid device made of metal (normally) that can be inserted into a drain and follow any curves of the underlying pipes. Most of these will have either a ball or a plug on their end. These are meant to mechanically clear any clogs that chemicals cannot treat.

Hard water is a term used to describe water that is characterized by the presence of dissolved mineral deposits. Some common chemicals include magnesium, aluminium, copper and calcium. Not only can these cause drinking water to taste unpleasant, but hard water can damage pipes over time. How can hard water be treated and what are some of the signs that it may be present?

One of the easiest ways to tell whether or not hard water is present can be to closely examine dishes, glasses and utensils. Over time, these can all become discoloured and it is not uncommon for drinking glasses to exhibit a “foggy” appearance. Another method is to observe the condition of taps and surrounding tiles. These can likewise become stained. Some areas to examine can also be sink basins and tubs.

Running Toilet: One of the Most Common Plumbing Problems in Saskatoon


Unfortunately, as many people find out, one minute their toilet will be normally working, and then the next it makes a strange sound. Most homeowners know that something is wrong, yet many just hope it goes back to normal after a few more flushes. The odd sound is usually caused by the water continually filling the toilet tank up, even when the toilet has not been used at all. Plumbing professionals in Saskatoon or anywhere else might refer to this problem as the “running toilet”.

Ignoring the Problem Does Not Make it Go Away

The majority of homeowners let this “running toilet” situation carry on for months, and sometimes even years without calling a licensed Saskatoon plumber in to repair it. Unfortunately, in many cases, people tend not to take this issue as the major problem that it is, thinking that it doesn’t really have any significant effects.

Minimize Storm Damage Risk to Your Property with Saskatoon Plumbing



No matter where you live in the world, the risk of flood damage is becoming an increasing problem. Residential areas, which for years have remained flood-free, are suddenly finding themselves underwater, and previously untouched properties are becoming subject to water damage.

Saskatoon is no different; the arrival of heavier than usual rain storms or greater amounts of snow melt means greater surface runoff and a rising water table. Where there is flooding, of course, it means that there is the threat of the spread of diseases, on top of lost or damaged property. Ignoring the problem until damp patches start to appear on walls, or basements begin collecting water, or worse, can turn out to be far more costly than taking preventive measures.

Saskatoon Drain Cleaners: Always Clean Underground Gutter Drains and Downspouts


Numerous homeowners are aware of the importance of having drain cleaning regularly done. Hiring a plumbing and drain cleaning service is the most ideal option when your home needs to have drains unclogged and maintained. However, there is still a part of the home that may not get as much attention as it should: the outdoor drains. Clogged downspouts and underground gutter drains are fairly common issues in homes.

Depending on where the downspouts are located, you may encounter several problems when there is clogging. Cause of Poor Drainage Blockages in downspouts are usually from debris. During summer and fall, branches, leaves and other debris will find their way into the gutters. When it rains, all these things are washed down the spouts, which can result in blockages.

Explaining Hard Water Challenges for Your Saskatoon Home Plumbing


Hard water is a problem that a lot of homeowners have had to deal with at some point. It is vital to comprehend what hard water is and the dangers it poses to the plumbing in your home. Rainwater is naturally soft, but as it falls, it picks up minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and manganese. The abundance of these minerals in the water is what makes it “hard”. The number of minerals in the water determines its hardness. Hard water is not hazardous health wise, but it can be a nuisance to use in the home. So, why would a homeowner consider calling a Saskatoon plumbing expert to fix hard water problems in the home? Piping Problems First of all, hard water can be very unpleasant to use. Soap lathers poorly when using hard water. It makes bathing, dish cleaning, and laundry challenging.

Why Hiring a Saskatoon Plumber Makes More Economic Sense than DIY


When minor plumbing repairs are needed, such as fixing dripping pipe joints or clearing a sink U-bend, hard-pressed homeowners may wonder whether to tackle the job themselves. In contrast, rather than attempt DIY, others prefer to let a professional Saskatoon plumber take care of the work. Burst pipes spraying water inside a home is clearly an urgent situation and requires an emergency plumbing service. If a pipe or joint has a less serious but noticeable leak, it also makes good sense to call in an expert before the part fails, causing damage and requiring repairs that are more extensive and costly. Can an experienced DIY handyman repair small plumbing problems? If a repair is relatively simple and straightforward, a do it yourself devotee may well be able to effect a basic repair, given the right spares and tools.

Water Heaters: When Should You Get a Replacement for Your Thermostat?


Does your thermostat keep tripping the reset? The reset button is a safety switch for the thermostat that disconnects electric supply to the heater if the water exceeds a certain temperature. The sensing button of the reset is always in contact with the metal tank. For that reason, it quickly senses water temperatures through conduction. If you get tripping problems with your hot water tanks in Saskatoon, then that is an indication of a thermostat defect. There are different causes of such tripping. Defective Thermostat If your thermostat is failing to shut off and allows continuous heating of the water, tripping will occur. Note that this only happens if the water heats beyond the set temperatures. Electric Water heaters in Saskatoon have two thermostats that are under access panels. Either could cause its element to heat the water beyond 180 degrees F when the reset opens.

Saskatoon Drain Cleaners on Why Drain Care and Maintenance is Important




The purpose of drains is to flush away all of the waste away from the home. Considering the fact that most of this waste consists of dirty water, food particles, hair, soap, grease, tissue and human waste, it is little wonder why blockages can often build up in sewer lines. In order to prevent such blockages, there are many precautions that can be carried out.

The main way to prevent blockages is to ensure that only water from toilets, sinks and baths is flushed away, along with any human waste and tissue paper. Anything else should be thrown in the bin. To avoid waste such as hair and food scraps getting washed away, it is advisable to place filters over your drains. Oil, fat and grease are sometimes poured down the drain and as they are in liquid form when disposed of, most people fail to realize that when they cool down, they congeal and easily clog up sewer lines. The best way to dispose of them is to wait for them to cool down then throw them in the bin.

Telltale Signs that You Need to Hire a Saskatoon Plumbing Professional




If there is slow water draining, blockages, or bad smells emanating from your drains, it is advisable to call in a trusted Saskatoon plumber. Drains clog over time, and the reasons behind the blockage are many. They run slower as silt, dirt, greases, detergents and foreign objects build up on the inner walls of the pipes. The blockage could also result from structural defects such as corrosion, subsidence, or roots. No matter the cause, the consequences can be destructive. A collapsed sewer pipe and bad smells are some of the after effects.

Given that you do not have the expertise to determine the cause of your drain blockage and the right tools for unclogging, it is necessary to entrust drain cleaning to Saskatoon plumbing services. Competent contractors carry all the necessary tools to the site of assignment. For instance, a blockage caused by grease or fat can be broken down quickly by high pressure jetting.

Why Hiring a Saskatoon Plumber is Better Than DIY Drain Cleaning




Drains move waste from your Saskatoon home to the main sewer lines, where it is disposed of safely and efficiently. If your drains are blocked with waste and debris, this can lead to serious problems and expensive repair bills. In order to remove a blockage before it becomes a major concern, it is advisable to hire a professional plumbing company to take care of the problem for you. Some people decide to take on the role of amateur plumbers and attempt to solve the problem themselves, but there are many reasons why this course of action should be avoided.

Harsh chemicals can be hazardous

Handling hazardous chemicals is a prime example of why you should never take on a plumbing job yourself. Many stores stock chemicals that claim to be able to unblock your drains, but they are not only hazardous to health but can also lead to the deterioration of your pipes.

Drain Cleaning Can Help Saskatoon Homeowners Avoid Plumbing Issues


Although a clogged drain may sometimes appear to be only a minor problem, there can be grave consequences should it fail to be cleared properly. It should also be noted that while there are instances when a minor issue can be tackled by the owner, the only way to make certain that a drain is free from debris is to call a qualified professional. A Look “Behind the Scenes” When referring to plumbing solutions in areas such as Saskatoon, many articles will highlight the dangers of frozen pipes and the potential damages that can plague a property. There is no doubt that such instances are problems during the winter months. However, a drain which fails to allow water to exit can enhance the chances that a pipe will freeze; more water is naturally trapped inside. We should also recall that a clogged drain can be a rather “silent” killer, as it often goes unnoticed until it is completely blocked.
