Main Water Shut-Off Replacement in SW Calgary (Braeside)

Job Details

In this southwest Calgary home, the main water shut-off needed to be replaced at the meter. Because this work requires the water supply to be shut down properly, we coordinated directly with the City of Calgary to make sure everything was handled safely, cleanly, and in the right order.

The Call

The homeowner needed a reliable, working main shut-off valve. Since the work was at the meter connection, it required a controlled water shut-down before any cuts could be made.

What We Did

  • Coordinated the shut-off timing with the City of Calgary
  • Confirmed water was shut off before beginning work and communicated directly with the City worker onsite
  • Replaced the existing main water valve and compression connection
  • Extended piping as needed for a secure fit at the meter connection
  • Reconnected the meter, brought the system back online, and tested for leaks and proper operation

The Result

  • Main shut-off valve was replaced and operating correctly
  • Meter connection was secured and tested after installation
  • Water service was restored smoothly once the City turned supply back on

They replaced a water main shutoff that would not close completely with a new ball valve. It only took one phone call and one text message with some images of the work to setup the job. Harper’s arranged the water shutoff with the city which made it really easy for me.

They were on time and the work looks great. I’m very happy and will be doing all of my future plumbing with them.
