A sudden leak, burst pipe, or overflowing drain can cause damage fast. Sterling Plumbing & Gas provides fast, reliable emergency plumbing in Calgary. With over 20 years of experience, we identify the problem quickly, stop the damage, and restore your plumbing safely.
While some plumbing emergencies happen without warning, many can be avoided with the right maintenance and early attention. Sterling Plumbing & Gas recommends a few simple steps to help protect your home and prevent costly surprises:
A yearly inspection helps catch small issues before they turn into major leaks or failures. We check pipes, fixtures, drains, pressure, and all critical connections.
Sediment buildup can cause leaks, loud noises, or complete failure. Regular water heater maintenance keeps your system safe and efficient.
A slow drain is often the first sign of a developing blockage. Clearing it early can prevent sewer backup or a full drainage failure.
Inspect under sinks, behind toilets, and around appliances. Even small drips can turn into major water damage if ignored.
Keeping your space warm, insulating exposed pipes, and maintaining steady indoor temperatures help prevent frozen pipes.
High pressure puts stress on pipes and fixtures. If you notice unusually strong water flow or banging in the pipes, we can check your pressure regulator.
A leaking faucet, running toilet, or small crack in a pipe can easily worsen over time. Addressing these issues early prevents emergencies later.

“Having used Sterling Plumbing & Gas once before for an emergency leak repair, I did not hesitate to call them again when we discovered our water heater tank had sprung a leak. Once again, Luke was a pleasure to deal with. It is always a good sign when a service provider has everything prepped and ready before beginning any of the work. It is also refreshing to see Luke take great pride in his work, and this is apparent in his cleanliness, personality, and honesty.”
— Marc C
Marc experienced two separate plumbing emergencies. Both times, Luke arrived prepared, diagnosed the issue quickly, and completed the repair with professionalism and care. His consistency and pride in his work gave Marc full confidence during a stressful situation.
“Luke with Sterling exceeded expectations in all aspects. Punctual, kind, clean, and most importantly, exceptional workmanship. He came to my rescue during my plumbing emergency. After some brainstorming, he came up with a solution to my not-so-normal job. With anyone else, I can honestly say the end outcome could have been substantially worse. And I am grateful to have running water again in my home.”
