Renovations

Sheehan Plumbing is a one stop service for residential and commercial renovations.

Backflow Testing

Sheehan Plumbing install back flow prevention devices in residential and commercial locations.

For commercial locations some devices such as fire sprinkler systems require annual testing by code to prevent water contamination from back flow. Restaurants often have appliances such as dishwashers and soda pop machines that require back flow testing each year.

In residential locations some heating systems which are connected to the water supply system in the home need back flow protection.

Call Sheehan Plumbing to test your back flow protection devices and for your annual servicing and maintenance needs.

Drain Cleaning

Sheehan Plumbing and Heating offers a full service for all draining cleaning and pipe repair or replacement issues. If you have a problem with a blocked drain or leaking sewer pipe, we have the expertise, technology and the equipment to fix your problem quickly for you.

Sheehan Plumbing uses specialized cameras to inspect pipes for structural damage, root growth and misaligned pipes in the drainage system. This means that we can quickly locate the problem area saving time and money by digging down to fix or replace the pipe rather than digging up a large area. Camera inspections will identify the cause of the problem in pipes and blocked drains enabling us to determine the best method to solve the issue. Often root growth into the pipe can cause problems. Our equipment can remove the root growth from inside the pipe so no digging is neccessary.

Regular maintenance is important, especially for commercial properties. Sheehan Plumbing’s high pressure jet cleaning equipment will keep your drains and pipes free from the debris that could cause a blockage problem.

Water Filtration

We install and service all brands of water filtration systems for residential and commercial locations

Water filtration can be used when there is a problem with water such as odour, taste or colouration. If you are considering installing water filtration there are three main types of water treatment to look at.

Standard Media Filter

A standard media filtration unit drains the water through different medium to remove particles and organic contaminants. Media is the plural for media There are three main types of filters:

Particle filters either made of fibre of ceramics which remove particles from the water through a membrane.
Activated Carbon filters which remove organic contaminants and chemicals which often cause taste. odour and colour problems.
Resin Filters which remove contaminants such as lead and other heavy metals, as well as minerals that cause deposits in kettles and coffee makers.

These types of filter can either be installed at the point of entry and filter all the water used in the building, or in a point of use location such as under a sink.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filters

Reverse Osmosis water filters force the water through a semi-permeable membrane that has very small holes or “pores”. Clean water passes through and impurities that are too big to pass through the membrane are left behind and flushed away. The water is filtered by being pressured as it passes through different types of filters. These types of filters can be installed at point of entry or point of use as with the standard media filter system. This is the ultimate media filter as it removes all impurities from water.

Ultra-Violet Water Treatment

Ultra Violet or UV treatment is not a filter, but a process of disinfecting the water by eradicating bacteria and living organisms in the water with a special light source which emits UV waves. This treatment is becoming more popular as it does not require the use of chemicals.

A UV treatment system does need to be used in conjunction with a filter as it doesn’t filter out the particles from the water.
