Leak detection and repair

What does leak detection and repair cover?

Finding the source of a leak and fixing it properly, whether it is a supply line, a valve, a fitting or a fixture. Gavin also restores low water pressure, replaces and installs valves, thaws frozen pipes and replaces heat tape.

A leak is rarely where the water shows up. Gavin works back from the water to the source, then gives you the price up front, with options, before the repair starts.

One customer had a list of jobs done in a single visit: a kitchen faucet, new shut off valves in every bathroom and a bathtub leak repair, all at prices they called very reasonable.

★★★★★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.

★★★★★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.
Debbie MartinGoogle review
★★★★★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.

★★★★★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.

★★★★★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.

Questions

Leak detection and repair questions

How do you find a hidden leak?

Gavin starts where the water shows up and works back to where it is coming from, checking the supply lines, valves, fixtures and drains in between. Once he knows the source, he gives you the price up front, with options, before any repair starts.

Can you fix low water pressure?

Yes. Pressure restoration is one of the services on Gavin's list. Low pressure can come from a partly closed or failing valve, a problem with the supply line, or mineral build-up in the fixture itself, and he will tell you which one it is before he fixes it.

What should I do if a pipe freezes?

Call 403-988-4411. Frozen pipe thawing and heat tape replacement are both on Gavin's list. Never use an open flame to thaw a pipe. If a pipe has already split, turn off the main water shut off to limit the damage until it can be repaired.

Do you replace shut off valves?

Yes. Valve replacement and installation is part of Gavin's leak and repair work. One customer had new shut off valves installed in all of their bathrooms, along with a kitchen faucet install and a bathtub leak repair, all in the same visit.
