Our plumbing division operates alongside our established HVAC services, allowing us to provide integrated solutions for all your home’s essential systems. Since Elena Kyle and her husband Shane founded JDK Heating & Cooling LTD in August 2018, we’ve built our reputation on delivering exceptional service across the heating, cooling, and plumbing industries.

Common Plumbing Challenges in Edmonton Homes
Edmonton’s unique climate presents specific challenges for residential plumbing systems that require specialized knowledge and experience to address effectively. The extreme temperature fluctuations between our harsh winters and warm summers can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to potential leaks, burst pipes, and connection failures. During winter months, frozen pipes remain one of the most frequent emergency calls we receive, particularly in older homes where insulation may not meet current standards or in areas where pipes run through unheated spaces like crawlspaces or exterior walls.
Beyond weather-related issues, we regularly encounter problems stemming from Edmonton’s water characteristics. The city’s moderately hard water, containing dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium, can accelerate the buildup of scale in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. This mineral accumulation reduces water flow, decreases appliance efficiency, and can eventually lead to complete blockages if left unaddressed. Our experienced technicians understand these regional factors and incorporate preventive measures into every service call, helping homeowners avoid costly repairs down the road.
Comprehensive Plumbing Repair Services
Our plumbing repair capabilities extend across all major residential and commercial systems, addressing both visible problems and underlying issues that might not be immediately apparent. When we arrive at your property for a plumbing repair, our technicians conduct thorough diagnostics using advanced equipment including video inspection cameras, electronic leak detection tools, and pressure testing devices to identify the root cause of any problem accurately.
Drain and sewer line issues represent a significant portion of our repair work, ranging from simple clogs to complex main line replacements. We employ various techniques depending on the severity and location of the problem, including hydro jetting for stubborn blockages, trenchless repair methods for underground pipes, and traditional excavation when necessary. Our approach prioritizes minimally invasive solutions whenever possible, reducing disruption to your property while ensuring long-lasting repairs that address not just symptoms but fundamental problems within your plumbing system.
Emergency Response and Preventive Maintenance
Plumbing emergencies require immediate attention to prevent extensive water damage and costly restoration work. Our emergency response protocol ensures rapid deployment of qualified technicians equipped with fully stocked service vehicles capable of handling most repairs on the spot. We maintain comprehensive inventories of replacement parts for common plumbing fixtures and components, reducing the need for multiple service visits and getting your systems back online quickly.
Preventive maintenance programs offer homeowners peace of mind while extending the lifespan of plumbing systems and reducing the likelihood of emergency situations. Our maintenance services include:
- Annual water heater inspections: checking anode rods, testing temperature and pressure relief valves, and flushing sediment buildup
- Drain cleaning services: removing buildup before it causes backups or slow drainage
- Pipe inspections: identifying potential weak points or developing leaks before they become major problems
- Fixture maintenance: adjusting water pressure, replacing worn washers and seals, and ensuring optimal operation
- Winterization services: preparing outdoor faucets and irrigation systems for freezing temperatures
Modern Plumbing Technologies and Solutions
The plumbing industry continues evolving with new technologies that improve efficiency, reduce water consumption, and provide better diagnostic capabilities. We stay current with these advancements, incorporating smart home plumbing technologies like leak detection systems that send alerts to your smartphone when unusual water flow patterns indicate potential problems. These systems can automatically shut off water supply to prevent flooding, providing valuable protection when you’re away from home.
Water conservation technologies have become increasingly important in modern plumbing installations. Low-flow fixtures, dual-flush toilets, and high-efficiency water heaters significantly reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance. We help homeowners understand the long-term savings potential of these upgrades, both in reduced utility bills and potential rebates available through local conservation programs. Additionally, tankless water heaters offer endless hot water while occupying minimal space and operating more efficiently than traditional tank-style units, making them increasingly popular in Edmonton homes where basement space comes at a premium.
Service Coverage Across Greater Edmonton
Our service area extends throughout Edmonton and neighboring communities including Saint Albert, Sherwood Park, Bremner, Beaumont, and Ardrossan, ensuring consistent quality plumbing services across the region. Each community presents unique challenges, from older infrastructure in established neighborhoods to modern construction standards in newer developments. Our technicians possess extensive knowledge of local building codes and regulations, ensuring all work meets or exceeds required standards while adapting our approaches to suit the specific needs of each area we serve.
Understanding that plumbing needs vary significantly between residential and commercial properties, we’ve developed specialized expertise in both sectors. Commercial plumbing systems often involve more complex configurations, higher usage demands, and stricter regulatory requirements. Our commercial services include backflow prevention testing and certification, grease trap maintenance, and large-scale water heater installations, supporting businesses in maintaining safe, efficient plumbing operations that comply with health and safety regulations while minimizing operational disruptions.
