What People Are Saying
Posted on Stephanie FanMay 14, 2022. Very efficient and reliable service. Came to rescue our flooded basement within an hour and did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!Posted on Piotr WoźniakMay 5, 2022. Very professional and knowledgeable. Fast response time. Andrew is my new " go to" plumber in Calgary.Posted on Peter WMarch 26, 2022. I found Calgary Plumber and Drains on Google as I am new to the city and needed a garburator installation and a replacement of a leaky faucet. Andrew was super responsive, professional, and incredibly generous with his knowledge, even doing a walk-through assessment of the plumbing in my newly purchased home. I could not recommend Andrew enough as he clearly takes great pride in his work and was an absolute pleasure to have in my home.Posted on reena sharmaMarch 20, 2022. I had great experience with you guys , service was prompt. Highly recommend.Posted on B KueMarch 16, 2022. Andrew was very professional. He explained thoroughly what needed to be done. He outlined the options available and the prices for each. He was prompt and efficient in making the repairs. Excellent service.Posted on Cora TomowichMarch 12, 2022. Vanessa and Andrew were AMAZING! I am a new homeowner in Calgary and I called Vanessa in a panic when we accidentally drilled into our water line. Vanessa not only talked me off a ledge, but she also set me up with a plumber right away. When Andrew arrived, he fixed the issue in 5 minutes AND THEN taught us how to perform our own simple DIY repairs. He took the time to educate us and explain everything! Calgary Plumber and Drains has made a customer for life!Posted on as BariMarch 11, 2022. I just purchased an older home with all original plumbing. None of the faucets were working, toilets needed replacement, clogged drains, destroyed shower valve and so on. I started searching for a contractor in an urge and among the other companies I decided to give CalgaryPlumberanddrains a try. Andrew and Darren showed up instantly, checked everything and provided a very reasonable estimate compared to the others. Nevertheless, it was still a bit above my budget. Andrew did his best to reduce overall costs by shopping around for me. In two days I got everything replaced. The guys were professional, and this hard job was done for me ASAP. I also would like to thank Yaroslav for checking my cast iron sewer pipeline with a camera. Very satisfied with the services and definitely would recommend this contractor and will call them again as I need to further renovate my plumbing.Posted on Laurel CMarch 7, 2022. I was fortunate to be introduced to Andrew through my neighborhood handyman who contacted Calgary Plumber and Drains on my behalf. Andrew called me within a day and was at my house the next to assess the problem. He was totally professional, taking his time to thoroughly examine the stack pipe and the damage that the leak caused. I so appreciated his full disclosure of the "worst case scenario" and what action had to be taken. Andrew and Darren (sp?) arrived at my home a few days later to tackle the issues, which were extensive given I live in a five level home. Throughout the repairs both Andrew and Darren were super personable and given the tight, confined spaces they had to work in, remained in excellent humor and gave me updates as they worked. Several feet of stack pipe had to be replaced over several levels, as well as the installation of a new hot water tank and the removal of an antiquated water softener. This was not a pretty job!! They worked diligently and respectively in my home and even put up with my pooch trying to help out!! The clean up was great - one wouldn't even know what transpired after they left. Going forward I will definitely utilize Calgary Plumber and Drains for any future plumbing needs I may have. My only regret is that I wasn't made aware of Andrew & Darren years ago!! Thanks so much to both of you!!Posted on K GMarch 2, 2022. My hot water heater broke down and started leaking at midnight during a cold snap, which isn’t ideal especially with a newborn. After calling multiple companies, Andrew was the first to answer and asked me to take pictures to access the damage and provided me with an estimate. He came in that day and installed a new hot water tank, answered all my questions and within 24 hours I had hot water working again. Overall a pleasant transaction and I would recommend and work with them again.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 72 reviews

FAQs
On average, most properly installed and high-quality hot water heater tanks last between 8 to 12 years. Once they’ve been around for this long, they start to lose their efficiency and become susceptible to damages. It’s best to upgrade your model before it breaks down.
There are many reasons why a hot water heater can stop working. Common reasons include sediment buildup, pilot light and thermostat problems, or natural wear and tear. Our team can inspect your water heater and determine the cause of the issues.
The inside of the hot water tank goes through a process called electrolysis, which occurs when corrosive particles are pulled to an anode rod to protect the tank lining. As the rods wear down and lining begins to corrode, sediment builds up and settles at the bottom of the tank, which clogs the drain valve, and over time, will break down the interior of the steel tank. Flushing the water heater once a year will remove the sediment, prevent damage to the tank and extend its lifespan.
Yes, it can be dangerous, as a continually leaking water heater might indicate increasing temperature or pressure. This can lead to your tank exploding. If your water heater is leaking, it’s best to call us right away for assistance.
