Chris Call moved his operations to Priddis in 2023 and looks forward to, in addition to plumbing, gas services, and emergency repairs, filling a very underserved niche – pipefitting on a smaller, case-by-case scale for the local community.
Call explains, “As a red seal plumber and pipefitter, I noticed that businesses can never really find someone for small jobs. The pipefitters tend to go for bigger jobs. I have customers that couldn’t find someone, and when they did the service was out of their budget. So, I positioned The Pipe Mechanic to offer pipefitting, among other services, locally and affordably.”
The Pipe Mechanic aims to be the go-to expert service for Priddis, Calgary, and the surrounding areas. Urban and rural residents can rely on Call whether the need is a minor leak, a challenging blockage, or an urgent plumbing crisis. He always strives to understand client concerns, provide clear answers, and communicate clearly, as trust, transparency, and honesty are foundational company values. Preventative measures are equally prioritized, aiming not only to address current issues but to avert future complications. Through comprehensive maintenance services, including regular checks, upgrades, and renovations, The Pipe Mechanic helps residents and commercial property owners, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of plumbing systems.
Call is not just an entrepreneur; he loves what he does – and this translates into the company’s success.
“I like problem solving,” he admits. “I like being able to show up and help make people’s day better. By being friendly, trustworthy, transparent, and communicative, I ensure the job – or the emergency – is quickly addressed and measures are put in place to help mitigate future issues.”
When facing plumbing issues, the temptation to tackle the problem yourself can be strong, especially with the wealth of DIY guides available. However, Call can list several compelling reasons why calling a professional plumber is often the better choice:
- Expert Diagnosis and Solution: Professional plumbers possess the expertise to accurately diagnose underlying problems that might not be immediately apparent to the untrained eye. This ensures that the issue is resolved correctly from the outset, preventing further costly complications.
- Experience and Tools: Plumbers come equipped not only with the necessary tools but also with a wealth of experience in handling a wide range of plumbing issues. This combination allows them to effectively tackle problems, big or small, ensuring a lasting solution rather than a temporary fix.
- Cost-Effectiveness: While DIY repairs might seem like a cost-saving measure, they can often lead to more expensive problems down the line if not done correctly. Hiring a professional plumber can save money in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes and ensuring the job is done right the first time.
- Safety Considerations: Plumbing work can involve risks, from water damage to potential injuries from tools or handling pipes. Professional plumbers are trained to manage these risks safely, protecting both themselves and your home during the repair process.
- Compliance with Regulations: Plumbing repairs and installations must comply with local building codes and regulations. Professional plumbers are knowledgeable about these requirements and ensure that all work meets the necessary standards, avoiding legal or regulatory issues.
- Time Efficiency: Dealing with plumbing problems can be time-consuming, especially without the right skills and tools. By hiring a professional, you can have the issue resolved quickly and efficiently, allowing you to focus on other important tasks or simply enjoy peace of mind.
Although The Pipe Mechanic is new in Priddis, Call is already focused on giving back to his new hometown, Calgary, and area. As opportunities come up to support non-profits and local causes, The Pipe Mechanic is happy to help.
“I’m happy to be here in Priddis with the ability to service Calgary and area,” concludes Call. “I look forward to growing the business and establishing an outstanding reputation in the community.”
