Kingston Drain Cleaning and Repair

A slow drain or a clogged drain can be easily fixed with a good drain cleaning. Neighborhoods like Portsmouth and Alwington have homes that have stood the test of time. The older plumbing systems in these homes, however, can be more prone to clogs and blockages. This could be for many reasons, but whatever the reason, John The Plumber can help.

Whether you need a drain repair, drain replacement or a simple drain cleaning, John The Plumber is available.

We know that drain clogs can be more than an inconvenience, in some situations, they’re plumbing emergencies. Whether you can wait for an appointment scheduled at your convenience or you need to book an emergency service call, John The Plumber’s the friendly neighborhood plumber that you can count on!

Kingston Leak Detection and Repair

Leaks can happen in the walls. They can happen in the ceilings. They can happen in the basement. They can happen in the drains.

Most of the time, the locations of leaks are pretty obvious. But sometimes, a pipe under a cabinet or behind the drywall can spring a leak, only to soak into a different location. If this sounds familiar, call John The Plumber today.

John The Plumber is an expert at minimizing damage during repairs. I’m not going to promise anything, as we can’t control where your pipes are located. But I can promise you that if anyone can do it without brutalizing your home, it’s us.

Call us today and fix that annoying leak before the problem gets worse.

Kingston Winters and Frozen Pipes

Every year, Kingston experiences brutally cold temperatures at least a few times. We all know that, we’re in Canada. It’s kind of our thing.

Unfortunately, while we Canadians are tough sons of guns who can deal with the cold, our plumbing systems can’t. Allowing areas in your home with pipes to chill can have serious consequences. All it takes is one cold night where you forgot to close a window to freeze your waterlines and cause catastrophic damage.

Frozen pipes are serious! While some people get lucky, many fall victim to burst pipes and interior water damage.

John The Plumber can help. We can help winterize your plumbing system and prevent your waterlines and outdoor faucets from freezing and breaking.

Sump Pump Installation and Replacement in Kingston

On average, it rains over 123 days a year in Kingston. Take away the frigid winter months, and that’s a lot of rainy days squeezed into a few months.

All that rain combined with heavy snowmelt in spring means that many Kingston homes rely on their sump pump to keep their basement from flooding.

Luckily, sump pumps are pretty reliable devices. With proper maintenance, a sump pump should last around ten years. But what happens when your sump pump stops working?

Call John The Plumber! If it’s not an emergency, we’re happy to schedule you for an appointment at your convenience. If your basement is on the verge of becoming an indoor swimming pool, however, we’ll be there in a flash. Sump Pumps are protective devices, and malfunctions during unfortunate times are emergencies. Unfortunately, most people don’t often know that their sump pump isn’t working until they need it.

For all your sump pump maintenance, inspections, repairs, and replacements, call John The Plumber. We’re sump pump pros, and we’ll be there when you need us.

Water Treatment and Purification

John The Plumber wants to help provide Kingston residents with the water quality they deserve. If you’re finding strange residue in your glassware or rust colors around your bathtub drain, you likely have hard water. Hard water is water with more minerals and calcium in it than we want! It can lead to faster wear and tear on your plumbing system, fixtures, and appliances.

Installing a water softener can fix that! Our customers have reported better feeling water and better skin and hair since we’ve installed water softeners on their system.

If your concern is related to pathogens in the water like chloride or bacteria, we can help with that too! Installing a reverse osmosis system, for example, will clean your water supply and remove the chemicals that many people worry about.

Whether you want to soften your water or enjoy cleaner drinking water, call John The Plumber. Our Kingston Plumbers are all about water treatment because they use them. Call John The Plumber for a water quality professional today!

Plumbing Rough-Ins in Kingston Basements

A plumbing rough-in is the setup needed to build a new bathroom. Adding a rough-in into your basement can increase your home’s value and incentivize potential buyers with bigger families to consider purchasing it. Before finishing your basement, consider calling John The Plumber and installing a rough-in.

Installing a basement rough-in before finishing the walls and floor means installing a half or full-bathroom later will be far more manageable. One bathroom simply isn’t enough for today’s families, and 1.5 bathrooms are becoming less appealing over time.

Build the foundation for a bathroom now to ease a bathroom installation in the future!

What is the Kingston Backflow Prevention Program?

The Kingston Backflow Prevention Program assures that equipment is installed to prevent sullied water from flowing back into the city’s water supply. Guaranteeing public safety and long-term safety of shared water resources. Numerous individuals are unaware that backflow conditions can endanger system water quality, posing a health risk to consumers drinking water from the system.

What does backflow mean?

In most cases, drinking water flows from the City’s distribution system into a property’s private water system. Backflow transpires when there’s a reversal of water flow, conventionally due to changes in water pressure. This ‘backflow’ can cause pollutants to enter the drinking water system.

Plumbing Inspections for Kingston Homebuyers

Are you thinking about selling your home? You should consider having John The Plumber perform a plumbing inspection.

Fixing problems before they surprise potential homebuyers during home inspections will help avoid many issues during the sale of your home. It also allows you to prevent tight negotiation and haggle points. Not to mention, proving to your customer that you were a vigilant seller who confirmed the home’s integrity before the sale may incentivize home buyers to choose you.

If you’re on the other end of the transaction, we can help you too in the opposite way. Inspecting drains, water heaters, supply lines, fixtures, valves, and detecting leaks may offer you an opportunity to save money on the home. Many plumbing problems can be fixed easily, but many sellers just want to get the transaction over with. Learning of unexpected problems may loosen the seller and lead to a generous negotiation.
