Default Plumber

Anybody looking for an excellent plumber?
Give CabeTosser a PM. Our water heater at the shop crapped out and it was Caber to the rescue. Man does fantastic work at great prices. Plus cleans up after himself which in the day and age is tough to get some contractors to do.
Thanks buddy!!

Thanks right back for the jerky and steaks, we were planning on grilling them up tonight but I pulled another late day, I just got in a while ago at 10:15pm. At least it wasn't 135 km to get home today

Thumbs up

Caber is one of the best in the industry in my opinion I started in plumbing and gas fitting 25 years ago so I do have an idea what makes a great tradesman and caber fits that profile hands down

VCMM had not been pleased with his tankless water heater even when it was working; and on Monday the heat exchanger was kaput and whizzing on his floor so he opted for a more traditional tank model, but direct power-vented as we had to go out the sidewall for the intake & exhaust. The original installer never told him how the on-demand heaters require annual descaling and are recommended to have a water softener feeding them to help prevent the scale build up. Just out of curiosity I'm going to do a teardown on the Rennai I removed and slice the exchanger open with a grinder just to get a bearing on how much mineral build up was in the thing.

And the bloody thing is only 7 years old.

Alberta has some of the most mineral heavy water I seen. I have couple of humidifiers at home I exchange every year(got to love bed bath and beyond) because of mineral build up.
