Plumbing Maintenance
An annual maintenance schedule is cost-effective and a great way to avoid problems with your plumbing, hot water and heating systems.
With regular visits, we will keep everything up to date and in working order. We will also identify and fix drain blockage, leaks, and worn out parts of fixtures (such as supply lines feeding sinks and toilets). High Water Pressure
Many areas in the lower mainland have gravity fed water and in some cases, the pressure needs to be held back. Regulation gauges must be in place for these circumstances to hold back excessive pressure. These devices wear out over time and must be replaced. A simple check on your household water pressure reveals a problem and remedy. This is another case where a simple misunderstanding can be the cause of a major problem.
Plumbing manufacturers we use: American Standard, Duravit, Apollo Valves, Hansgrohe, Delta Faucet, Brizo.
Commercial Plumbing
Our team has experience working with numerous strata companies in downtown Vancouver. By sticking to a regular maintenance schedule that includes important steps such as changing air filters and adjusting fan belts on roof top units, testing pressure release valves, back flow testing, and checking operating pressures on booster pumps and heat exchangers, building managers and tenants can avoid costly repairs and the stress that comes from lengthy heating and water shutdowns.
On a smaller scale, home and condo owners can benefit from annual inspections of their kitchen and
bathroom plumbing
and fixtures, including drainage testing and looking for tell-tale signs of wear on their fixtures and supply lines, as well as their hot water tanks.
Water Pressure Issues
Your municipality delivers potable water to your building through the water mains, and the maintenance of those mains is the city’s responsibility. However, some buildings experience low water pressure (at taps, boiler inputs and so on) and to remedy that we can install a booster pump. Others have problems with high water pressure, so a water pressure reducing valve is an important component.
There are many types of booster pumps on the market, but not all of them can be used at your location. Municipal regulations specify the type of booster that can be used. Its fittings and output pressure must exactly suit the system used by the municipality.
