The Calgary specialty

Got Poly-B? Calgary insurers are quietly walking away from homes that still have it.

Poly-B Replacement

Full removal of failing Poly-B and a whole-home repipe in modern PEX. One crew handles the pipe, the drywall and the paint, so you are not hiring three trades to finish one job.

Why Northern Flame

A plumbing company you do not have to chase.

No call centre. No rotating subcontractors. No invoice that arrives bigger than the quote.

You deal with Jay and the team.

The person who quotes your job is on the crew that does it. You are not passed between departments.

Journeyman work, every time.

Red Seal certified and built to current Calgary code. Nothing gets left to an unsupervised apprentice.

The quote is the price.

You know what it costs before we start. No surprise line items, no upsell you did not ask for.

One trade covers it.

Plumbing, heating, gas and drains under one licence, so you are not managing four contractors.

What we do

Plumbing and heating, under one roof.

From a ground-up custom home to the grey pipe hiding behind your drywall, one Red Seal trade handles it.

About Northern Flame

A small crew doing work worth putting our name on.

Northern Flame is a Calgary plumbing and heating company founded and run by Jay Lowe, a Red Seal journeyman plumber and certified gasfitter. Jay started it on a fairly simple idea: most people just want a plumber who answers the phone, turns up when he said he would, and does the job properly. That should be ordinary. It is not.

It has grown into a small crew of licensed journeymen working across Calgary, on everything from a leaking tap to a whole-house repipe to a custom build. Jay is still on the tools and still the person you talk to, because the standard only holds if someone is accountable for it.
