Posted on Daniel ManTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I realized both of my sump pumps failed as my battery backup pump kicked in. My neighbor referred Alpine Heating who arrived quickly, diagnosed the issues and got them repaired before the heavy rain came in. What stood out most was his honesty - he explained exactly what was wrong, showed me the failed parts, and only replaced what was necessary without trying to upsell anything extra. He's professional and courteous. The work was done neatly, he cleaned up afterward, and the price was fair and transparent. I finally feel secure knowing who to call if any plumbing issues happen in the future.Posted on Alan MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't speak highly enough about the excellent work that Alpine plumbing has done for us. We've used them on three occasions, two of which were quite recent, the latest being a hot water tank install today when a big box store installer had failed us. Available on short notice, with a timely arrival and first rate workmanship. Left the site very tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend them!Posted on Bruce CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional , very knowledgeable, and the work was done for much less cost than I expected. Our boiler stopped working ,no heat or hot water. Our long time heating contractor Olson was a disaster. A gear clamp and a piece of neoprene for a temporary fix and starting the boiler $400$ +. Alpine saved us . They arrived immediately , installed a new pump and sensors. Hours of work and labour bill for the same labour cost as the gear clamp installation . You have a problem … call these guys.Posted on Sup BookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The plumber was extremely helpful and professional.

Alpine Plumbing and Heating provided prompt service to help get our furnace back up and running. This all happened during an arctic outflow weather system that was pushing temperatures below minus 10. Sukhwinder came out and had our furnace up and running within a few hours of calling. Thank you Sukhwinder for your prompt and professional service. Absolutely recommend!!
Without routine maintenance, minor issues like slow drains, small leaks, or noisy pipes can quietly develop into major problems. Over time, this can lead to:
Proactive maintenance helps you catch problems early, when repairs are simpler and less expensive. It also gives you a clear picture of the overall health of your system, so you can plan upgrades—like Repiping or Poly-B Replacement—on your schedule instead of in an emergency.
Our plumbing maintenance visits are tailored to your property, but commonly include:
Each visit ends with a clear summary of findings and recommendations, so you know what is “good to go,” what to monitor, and what should be addressed soon.
Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to avoid emergency calls, protect your finishes, and stretch the life of your plumbing system.
For most homes, an annual plumbing maintenance visit is a good baseline—often combined with other yearly checks like heating service. Older homes, rental properties, and buildings with a history of leaks or drain issues may benefit from more frequent visits. Strata and commercial properties often schedule maintenance on a semi-annual or quarterly basis through Strata Maintenance or Commercial Plumbing to stay ahead of higher usage and risk.
Plumbing maintenance is proactive—it focuses on inspections, cleaning, and minor adjustments to prevent problems. Plumbing repairs are reactive—they happen after something has already failed, leaked, or backed up. A strong maintenance program reduces how often you need emergency (→ Plumbing Repairs) or (→ Emergency Plumbing) and helps you plan larger upgrades like (→ Repiping) before the system starts failing repeatedly.
While no system can be made risk-free, regular maintenance significantly reduces the chance of sudden failures by catching worn components, early leaks, and drainage issues before they escalate. We often identify failing shut-offs, corroded fittings, or partially blocked drains during maintenance visits—giving you the option to fix them under controlled conditions instead of during a flood or backup. When needed, we can escalate to Leak Detection & Repair for more advanced investigations.
Yes. Even newer homes benefit from periodic checks—especially for items like water heaters, shut-off valves, supply hoses, and early signs of builder- or material-related issues. Catching problems early in a newer system can prevent premature wear and protect your warranty or resale value. Maintenance also provides a baseline record that can be helpful if you later pursue upgrades like Bathroom and Kitchen Remodel, Plumbing Installations, or Water Heater Installation.
