Plumbing, heating and gas by At Your Service PHD
The two jobs most Calgary homeowners only face once. Both are done to City of Calgary permit and inspection standard, trenchless wherever the line allows it.
Collapsed, root-blocked or back-pitched sewer lines replaced end to end. Most older Calgary homes still run on clay or cast iron that has outlived its design life.
Leaking, corroded or undersized water service lines replaced from the property line to the house, buried below Calgary's frost depth so it survives the winter.
Pipe bursting and lining that replaces the pipe without trenching the whole yard.

Book water heater workA camera inspection answers it in an hour. These are the signs that usually bring people to the phone.
A new pipe is pulled through the path of the old one from two small access pits. Your lawn, driveway and mature trees stay where they are, and most jobs finish in a day. It needs a line that still runs where it should, so the camera inspection comes first.
The trench is dug, the line is replaced and the ground is restored. It is the answer when a line has collapsed, lost its grade or has to move. It takes longer and disturbs more, but nothing else works on a pipe that is no longer there.
In Calgary the property owner is generally responsible for the water and sewer service lines running from the property line to the building, while the City looks after the mains in the street. That means a failure on your side of the line is your bill, and worth confirming with the City before work starts.
Service line work in Calgary needs a City permit and inspection, and utility locates before anyone digs. Water lines have to sit below local frost depth so they survive a Calgary winter. I arrange the permit, the locates and the inspection as part of the job.

At Your Service PHD is a Calgary plumbing, heating and gas business working out of Forest Lawn SE. The work I am known for is the big underground stuff most homeowners only face once: sewer line replacement, water main replacement and trenchless repair, on homes and commercial properties across the city.
A sewer or water line replacement is a serious amount of money, so nothing gets quoted off a guess. The camera goes down the line first, you see what I see, and the quote follows the evidence. If a trenchless pull will do the job, that is what I recommend, because it is cheaper for you and leaves your yard alone.
The heating side has not gone anywhere. Furnaces, boilers and tankless water heaters still make up a good share of the week, and emergency call-outs are answered seven days.
Tell me what's going on and I'll get back to you. For anything urgent, call.
As a general rule in Calgary the property owner owns the water and sewer service lines from the property line to the building, and the City looks after the mains in the street. So a break on your side of the property line is normally your cost. It is worth confirming with the City for your specific address before any work begins, and I can help you do that.
It depends on the length of the run, the depth, what the pipe is made of, and whether the line can be burst trenchless or has to be dug. That is why I camera the line before quoting rather than giving a number over the phone. You get a written quote based on what the camera actually shows.
A new pipe is pulled along the path of the old one from two small access pits, splitting the old pipe outward as it goes. Your lawn, driveway and mature trees stay put and most jobs finish in a day. It needs a line that still follows its original path, so the camera inspection decides whether it is an option.
A straightforward residential water service replacement is usually a one to two day job once the permit and utility locates are in hand. Longer runs, deep lines, or work under a driveway or sidewalk add time. I give you the expected timeline with the quote.
Yes. Water and sewer service line work in Calgary requires a City permit and an inspection, and utility locates have to be done before anyone digs. I arrange the permit, the locates and the inspection as part of the job.
