My toilet clogged and I could not unclogged with anything. Gavin came and fixed it in less than an hour for best rate than anyone I have called in Airdrie or in Calgary. He will even give you call ahead before he will show up.

Happy Pipes Plumbing is based right here in Airdrie. Gavin Coan handles plumbing, heating, gas lines and drain cleaning across the city, with the price up front before any work starts.
No call centre and no sales team. The person who answers is the person who shows up.
Call Gavin403-988-4411Yes. Airdrie is home base and the main service area for Happy Pipes Plumbing. Gavin Coan lives here and works in homes right across the city, from Old Town and Jensen to King's Heights, Bayside and Cobblestone Creek.
Airdrie started in 1889 as a whistle stop on the Calgary and Edmonton Railway, beside Nose Creek, and took its name from Airdrie in Scotland. It became a city in 1985 and has kept growing, so its homes range from older houses in Old Town to new builds in the newest neighbourhoods.
Airdrie buys its water from the City of Calgary. It is treated in Calgary, arrives through three transmission lines into three reservoirs, and reaches homes through about 264 km of water mains. It is the same Bow and Elbow river water Calgary drinks, so it leaves the same scale on kettles, fixtures and hot water tanks.
Call 403-988-4411Airdrie does not treat its own water. Here is how it gets from the rivers to your kitchen.
The City of Calgary describes this water as hard, because of the calcium and magnesium in the rivers. It is not harmful, but it builds up as scale in fixtures and hot water tanks.

My toilet clogged and I could not unclogged with anything. Gavin came and fixed it in less than an hour for best rate than anyone I have called in Airdrie or in Calgary. He will even give you call ahead before he will show up.
Gavin was great to work with. Very easy to get an appointment to look at our leaking water heater. After a quick but thorough assessment, he determined the heater needed replacement and was able to get a new one installed same day. A few days later, Gavin called to let me know that he had looked into the ruined heater, found that it was under warranty still, and that the warranty money would be discounted from the price.
Had a hot water heater issue. I did some asking around and everyone was telling me I needed a new heater. Over the phone Gavin said the hot water heater did not need to be replaced. Right on time he was in and out within 30 mins. Cost me even less then he quoted.
Gavin is hardworking, honest, efficient and with out a doubt the best person to pick if you require heating or plumbing services. I could not speak more highly of his work, ensuring my heating was fixed in a cold snap at a reasonable price.
He is someone who comes across as professional, knowledgeable and always sees the job to completion with very reasonable pricing. He helped us through a lot of issues we were having with our hot water tank and took a systematic approach instead of making assumptions.
We had a number of jobs for him to complete (kitchen faucet install, shut off valve installation in all bathrooms, bathtub leak repair, etc.). He also was on time for the consultation and scheduled work (didn't keep us waiting at all). We found his prices VERY reasonable, and would absolutely use his services again.
Punctual, great job done, was honest about the work, informed me as to why I had the problem so that it wouldn't happen again, and then charged me a whole lot less then I dreamed of.
I had Gavin come in and fix, permanently, a "homemade husband repair" and he didn't even laugh at the workmanship! That's a professional! Seriously, Gavin did an excellent job to make sure I got the results I needed.
We have been using Gavin's services for over 7 years. Best plumber ever! Fast, efficient, great customer service!
2nd to none!! Experienced, dependable, reliable, diligent, qualified, thorough and efficient service from this company. Highly recommend them for any plumbing service you may need. Gavin was amazing.
Airdrie is home base and the main service area. Calgary is just to the south. Gavin also travels to the other communities on this map.
Not sure if you're covered? Call 403-988-4411 and ask.
The City of Airdrie buys its water from the City of Calgary. It is treated in Calgary, supplied from the Elbow and Bow rivers, and travels through supply mains to Airdrie's reservoirs. The city's water arrives through three transmission lines, is stored in three reservoirs, and reaches homes through about 264 km of mains.
Yes. Airdrie's water is the same Bow and Elbow river water that Calgary treats, and the City of Calgary describes that water as hard because of its calcium and magnesium. Hard water is not harmful, but it leaves scale on fixtures and in hot water tanks, and Gavin installs softeners and filtration systems.
Airdrie first. Happy Pipes is based in Airdrie and Airdrie is the main service area, but Gavin also has a lot of regular customers in Calgary, and travels to Crossfield, Irricana, Langdon, Okotoks and Bragg Creek. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call 403-988-4411 and ask.
It depends on the job, because the same problem can take thirty minutes or six hours. Gavin looks at it first, then gives you the price up front with options, including parts and labour. There are no overtime charges, seniors get 10% off, and nothing starts until you say yes.
Send a few details and Gavin will get back to you with a time and an up-front price. There is no call-out fee when he does the work.
Gavin replies Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
