Ryan Johnstone, the owner and operator of Homemetrics Inspection Services, brings decades of his extensive construction background to every inspection. As a journeyman carpenter, who has served as construction manager for a non-profit home builder, site superintendent, subcontractor and business owner). He has overseen many projects from foundation to finish. This hands-on experience gives him an understanding of building science and construction practices to give his clients a reliable, unbiased inspection.

"Having a background in construction, I am often asked by friends and family to do jobs or assess aspects of their homes. When a friend asked me to help them look for a new home, I was happy to help. In doing so, I found this very satisfying and felt like it was a natural fit to transition my skills and experience to becoming a home inspector” – Ryan Johnstone.

Trusted Saskatoon Plumber Perfection Plumbing Tip On Preventing Frozen Pipes

26. Nov 2024 Trusted Saskatoon Saskatoon Plumbing, Trusted Tips

Perfection Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Ltd. is a premier quality drain cleaning and plumbing service provider in Saskatoon, SK. They are the company of choice to handle all of your plumbing concerns, including drain cleaning service, water heater installation, plumbing repair, and more. Perfection Plumbing is a Trusted Saskatoon Plumber on the Saskatoon Directory. Their latest tip about how to prevent your home's pipes from freezing in the Saskatoon winter!

How to Prevent Your Plumbing Pipes from Freezing

Frozen pipes can turn a cozy winter day into a frustrating (and costly) headache. Thankfully, with a few proactive steps, you can keep your plumbing in top shape and avoid the icy trouble. Here's how to stay ahead of the freeze:

1. Insulate Your Pipes

Wrap your pipes in foam insulation to keep the warmth in and the cold out. It's an easy DIY project—just grab some pipe insulation from your local hardware store and slide it on.

2. Seal Drafts Around Pipes

Check for air leaks around your pipes, especially near exterior walls. Use caulking, weatherstripping, or expanding foam to seal those drafts and stop cold air from creeping in.

3. Maintain a Consistent Thermostat Temperature

Keep your thermostat set to a steady temperature—even when you're away. This prevents sudden drops in temperature that could cause pipes to freeze.

4. Disconnect Outdoor Hoses

Remove and drain garden hoses connected to outdoor faucets. Leftover water can freeze and lead to burst pipes. Consider shutting off and draining exterior faucets entirely for the season.

5. Open Cabinet Doors

If you have pipes under a sink, open the cabinet doors to let warm air circulate around them. This simple step can make a big difference during cold snaps.

6. Use Heat Tape

For pipes in unheated areas like basements or crawl spaces, heat tape is your friend. Wrap it around vulnerable pipes to provide direct warmth and prevent freezing.

7. Let Water Drip

Allow a small trickle of water to flow from your faucets in extreme cold. Moving water is less likely to freeze, and it can relieve pressure in the pipes, reducing the risk of a burst.

Protect Your Home from Costly Damage

Following these tips, you can keep your plumbing and home protected during the coldest months. If you need expert help with plumbing or drain issues, don't hesitate to contact us. Stay warm and worry-free!

Bragging About Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation: Trusted Saskatoon Hot Tub Sales & Repair

1. Nov 2024 Trusted Saskatoon Saskatoon Hot Tubs, Saskatoon Outdoor Living & Recreation, Trusted Brag Blogs

The Trusted Saskatoon Team is excited to welcome Lauren and Julie of Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation as your Trusted Saskatoon Hot Tub Store, specializing in sales, service, maintenance, and repair! As our go-to Saskatoon, Warman, Martensville and area experts for hot tubs and hot tub repair services, Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation is here to help you select the perfect hot tub for your lifestyle. We're thrilled to have this dedicated team joining us. Their commitment to quality, integrity, and client satisfaction makes them the perfect addition to our Trusted Saskatoon community! They offer a complete range of services, from hot tub maintenance and repairs to assistance with chemicals and filters. Dive into our latest article and get to know the remarkable team behind the brand.

Meet Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation: Saskatoon & Areas Premier Hot Tub Haven!

From the moment I stepped into Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation, located just a short drive on the outskirts of Warman, Saskatchewan. I felt a genuine warmth and welcome. The space is beautiful and stocked with an impressive wall of hot tub chemicals, filters and supplies. There is an atmosphere of undeniable calm and relaxation.

I had the pleasure of meeting owners Lauren and Julie Penner, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo and proud parents of two delightful children. Lauren’s journey into the hot tub industry began in 2002 when he transitioned from training as an auto mechanic to working as a hot tub service technician. After years in the field, an opportunity to acquire a local hot tub repair business inspired them to establish Unaffiliated Hot Tub Home Care. Their focus on honest repairs over purchasing a new hot tub quickly earned them a loyal clientele who appreciated their integrity.

Now, with a showroom in their new location, the business has evolved into Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation. This new name truly reflects their mission to create peaceful backyard sanctuaries for their clients.

As Lauren says,

“Our goal has always been to find the best solution to meet our customers’ needs.”

So, their recent decision to offer Softtub, a premium Canadian plug-and-play hot tub brand, and to be the exclusive dealers of Bellagio Luxury Spas gives customers options that best suit their budget, needs, and lifestyle, further exemplifying this commitment. They not only provide hot tub repair, but the addition of these brands allows customers to purchase hot tubs and all the supplies.

Sanctuary and a Place of Restoration

The name Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation embodies the heart of their brand. Lauren and Julie believe that a hot tub should be more than a luxury—it’s a place of rejuvenation and peace where one can recharge from life’s demands.

“Relax. Refresh. Reconnect.” is their motto.

Sanctuary represents that peaceful place, while Re-Creation speaks to their dedication to restoring and rebuilding the person and providing “peace of mind” through their products and services.

We met Lauren & Julie when they initially contacted our sister company, Trusted Marketing Services. They were looking for marketing assistance, and we worked with them to create their new brand, which they unveiled at the 2024 Warman Open For Business Expo. They were amazing to work with, and once we got to know more about them and their business goals, we knew they would be a GREAT fit for the Trusted Saskatoon community!

What do their Customers Say?

“Lauren has been incredible to work with! We bought our Bellagio Hot Tub from him, and his service, knowledge, and helpfulness were great. I totally recommend Sanctuary Spas to anyone needing a hot tub!” - Del Ehlert

“ I got my hot tub through Home Depot and of course, there is nobody that can help with service or maintenance when you buy from them. I searched for and found Lauren, and they are great to work with! I was so impressed with how kind receptionist Kathleen was when I called in. She was so friendly and helpful and I felt very quickly like we had known each other for years. They went above and beyond trying to find replacement jets for me. They are honest, responsive, affordable and were good about communicating with me. I recommend them for sure!” - Terry Graham, Saskatoon

We personally surveyed a number of their past customers.
