5-Star Service
Posted on SonjaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martin impressed from the start by answering his phone; no voice mails, nor contact by email only. He came on site to see if he could do the job and determine what was required. He did great job of sourcing, supplying and replacing older faucet cartridges, tub spout and drain. He encountered challenges due to the age, yet took it on. He supplied and replaced garbage disposal. Good communication, on time and clean. Will have him back in the fall to do some other work.Posted on Erin MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with my plumbing services with Martin.

Tank vs. Tankless — Honest Advice
Every property is different. We compare total cost of ownership, space, venting, electrical/gas supply, and household usage to help you decide. For many Whistler homes and rentals, a properly sized tankless system offers endless hot water and space savings; for others, an insulated high-recovery tank is the practical choice.
Maintenance That Prevents Breakdowns
Annual flush & descaling (tank & tankless)
Anode rod inspection/replacement for tank longevity
Combustion analysis and venting checks on gas units
Filter cleaning and flow verification (tankless)
Leak & relief valve testing and drip pan/drain review
Ask about seasonal service before peak rental periods or winter. For potential rebates and efficiency programs, check FortisBC.
