A running toilet might seem minor, but it can quietly waste
6,000–24,000 litres a month; often adding $50–$100+ to your water bill without you even realizing it. Most of the time, it comes down to a worn seal or faulty internal components… simple fixes that get overlooked until the cost adds up.

With water rates where they are (and rising), it’s not just about convenience—it’s about preventing unnecessary loss. If something sounds off, runs longer than it should, or just doesn’t feel right, it’s worth addressing early. Reach out to Prairie Pro for a quick assessment and get it handled before it shows up on your next bill or turns into a bigger problem 💚

Overflowing gutters aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a signal. When water can’t drain properly, it doesn’t just disappear—it spills over, pools near your foundation, and starts finding places it shouldn’t go.

The good news is, a lot of gutter issues start small and are easy to check: clearing debris, making sure downspouts are flowing, and watching how water moves during rain or melt can go a long way.

But if it keeps happening—or something doesn’t seem quite right—it’s worth taking a closer look. Sometimes the real solution isn’t the one you can see—and that’s where experience makes the difference. At a certain point, it’s not just about the fix, it’s about your time.

🐾 Pets? 👶 Kids? It’s also a good reminder to keep an eye on the areas they spend time in. Standing water can collect debris, harbor bacteria, and attract pests, so proper drainage helps keep your home and the spaces your family enjoys functional and safe.

🔧 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬:
• Watch how your gutters and downspouts perform during rain;
• Make sure water is moving away from your foundation;
• Take note of any areas where water tends to sit;
• Check for low spots in the yard (especially along pet paths); and,
• Look at how quickly things dry once the rain stops.

A little awareness goes a long way. If you ever want a second set of eyes on drainage, gutters, or grading—we’re always here to help you get things flowing the way they should 💚

Blue skies, warmer days 🌼 Spring is closer than you think.

That early melt is exactly when clogged gutters can start causing problems — overflow, ice buildup, and water pooling around your foundation. Getting ahead of it now can help prevent bigger (and more expensive) issues later.

Did you know a single clogged gutter can dump hundreds of gallons of water beside your foundation during a spring melt?

With Alberta’s constant freeze–thaw cycles, that water can refreeze overnight and force moisture behind fascia, under shingles, and into siding — often without obvious leaks. Over time, this hidden moisture can contribute to wood rot, staining, erosion, and costly exterior repairs.

With our weather fluctuating so much, keeping your gutter system clear and draining properly is more important than many homeowners realize. Whether it’s spring gutter cleaning or installing gutter guards for long-term protection, Prairie Pro brings over 20 years of exterior experience and we’re always happy to help.

𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽💡 If you notice a sewage smell in your basement, here are a few things homeowners can 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫. Basements sit at the lowest point of your plumbing system, which makes them more prone to odours if traps dry out or seals fail.

𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁:
✔ Pour 1–2 litres of water into unused floor drains or sinks
✔ Run water in basement fixtures you don’t use often
✔ Flush toilets and check for odours near the base
✔ Make sure sump or drain lids are sealed properly

If the smell comes back after a few days, is constant, or worsens over time, it’s likely time for a professional inspection to locate the source and prevent it from returning. Comfort, air quality, and peace of mind start with a properly sealed system.

𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲? Reach out — a licensed plumber can help identify the issue and prevent it from returning.

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐫 “𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐠𝐠” 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? You’re not alone — and it doesn’t always mean a major issue. In many homes, this smell comes from sewer gas escaping, especially in basements where drains and fixtures aren’t used often.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Dry floor drains or unused sinks
• Failed or missing trap primers
• Loose toilet wax seals
• Unsealed sump or sewage pits

The good news? Many of these issues are simple to identify and often easy to fix once you know where to look. If a smell lingers or keeps coming back, it’s a sign something isn’t sealed properly — and catching it early can help prevent bigger problems down the line.

Using less heat isn't the only way to lower your gas bill.

Older gas furnaces often run longer, lose more heat, and use more gas to keep your home comfortable. Newer high-efficiency systems are designed to deliver heat more effectively, with shorter cycles and less wasted energy.
That difference can show up on your monthly gas bill — especially during Alberta winters.

Whether you’re comparing options, planning ahead, or just want to understand how your system is performing, a professional inspection can help you make informed decisions before problems start.

And if your furnace stops — or something just doesn’t feel right — we’re here when you need us.

✅ 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 - These sounds are common when your furnace cycles on and off or runs longer during colder weather.

‣  𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 – The blower motor running and circulating warm air.

During cold snaps, furnaces run longer and harder. Small issues that might go unnoticed in milder weather can escalate quickly when your system is under continuous load — sometimes leading to breakdowns at the worst possible time.
