Snow has arrived and so has your furnaces time to shine. Check those furnace filters and replace them regularly. Your furnace likely runs 1-3 times an hour during the extra cold days, which can add up to over 350 times a week. Furnace inspections are a good idea to catch issues before they leave your home without heat, which seems to usually happen at the most inconvenient time. Schedule your furnace inspection today!

I pulled that furnace filter in picture 2 out of furnace just this past week. Poor airflow can cause premature failure of furnace components, as the furnace gets extra hot due to poor movement of air, and added strain on the blower motor. People often forget many Alberta plumbers are also journeyman gas fitters and fully qualified to service and repair your furnace.

As Plumbrella continues to grow, so does the arsenal of drain clearing equipment.

Preventative main line drain auguring from your house out to the city can remove buildup from lines, cut away tree roots, and pull back all those “flushable” wipes that may be lying in wait to cause a sewage backup in your home.

Roots often enter older cast drain lines at connections between pipe and can be as fine as human hair when searching for water. Cutting these roots away before disaster strikes could save thousands in repair from a back up.

I’ve pulled back literal pail fulls of wipes in the past while clearing a blockage. They come already wet, so getting them “wetter” doesn’t make them break down like toilet paper. If you’re renting keep flushing them, but please give your landlord my number. 😉

Stay classy folks, and keep the p**p flowing down hill.

Enjoy washing your bacon grease down the kitchen sink every day? Tried to dispose of a giant tub of expired peanut butter by washing it down the sink with a bit of hot water? Thought the garburator was the right place for 2 lbs of left over sticky rice? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Sounds crazy but these are real calls I’ve been to!
