Plumbing & Water Heating in Garneau

Hard water affects Garneau water heaters in ways that shorten their lifespan significantly: scale buildup on heating elements, sediment accumulation on tank bottoms, and faster anode rod consumption. An annual maintenance visit that flushes sediment and checks the anode rod extends tank life by years.

Older Garneau homes sometimes have original plumbing configurations that predate current best practices — expansion tanks, pressure relief valves, or supply connections that don't meet current code. We identify and address these during hot water system replacements rather than leaving liability in the wall.
