Wikipedia's Barrie article lists Cundles among the city's intraurban communities and names Cundles Road as a major arterial. We do not know the age or layout of homes here, so we do not assume. We look, explain and price before we start.
Hot water tanks
If your tank is old, leaking or running out fast, replacement is usually the better spend than another repair. A small fix makes sense on a younger tank. We tell you which case you have.
Cost depends on tank size, venting, what the old setup needs and access to the space. See hot water tank repair and replacement.
Hard water on fixtures
The City of Barrie says groundwater areas run about 13 to 20 grains per gallon in hardness. Surface-water areas run 3 to 8. We do not know which one your street gets.
Check the City's published information for your address. Scale on aerators and showerheads is the visible sign. A softener is the long-term answer, with a trade-off in space and upkeep.
Toilets, taps and showers
A running toilet or a dripping tap is a short visit. Repair is cheaper when the body is sound. Replace when the finish is pitted or parts are hard to find.
For a bathroom update, measure the toilet rough-in and note your shower valve brand if you can. Details are on toilet, faucet, shower and tub repair.
Finding your door
Cundles Road is one reference point. Georgian Mall is nearby, on Bayfield Street about 1.5 km north of Highway 400, though we do not say it sits inside Cundles. Give us your full address and we will find you.
Questions we get asked
How do I tell a tank repair from a tank replacement?
Age and leaks decide most cases. A leak from the tank body means replacement. A failed part on a younger tank can be repaired. Rust-coloured water, rumbling and running out quickly are also clues. We look first and price both routes.
What makes a tank swap cost more in one house than another?
Four things mostly: tank size, venting or fuel type, how easy it is to reach the space, and whether old fittings must be redone. A basement closet is simple. A tight attic is not. You get the figure before we begin.
Should I clear the area around my tank before you arrive?
Yes. Move boxes so we can reach the tank and its pipes. Note the date on the label if you can read it. Take a photo of any drip or rust. Tell us when the hot water last ran normally.
My shower runs hot and cold. Is that the valve?
Often, but not always. A worn cartridge or valve causes swings. So can a tank problem or pressure changes when someone flushes. We test the shower, then say which part is at fault and what each option costs.
What should I measure before buying a new toilet?
Measure from the wall to the centre of the floor drain bolts. That is the rough-in. Note the shape of the bowl and the space beside it. Bring the numbers to us before you buy, and we will check they fit.
Is Georgian Mall in Cundles?
We do not say so. Wikipedia places the mall on the east side of Bayfield Street, about 1.5 km north of Highway 400. It is a useful nearby reference. For directions we still need your street address.
Can scale really damage a faucet?
It can clog aerators, stiffen cartridges and leave deposits on spouts and showerheads. How fast depends on your water and how much you use. We can show you the buildup when we replace a part.
