Plumbing for homes in Forest Heights

Mid-century bungalows with mature yards make up most of the area, some on the slopes above the valley.

Many 1950s and 60s homes still have galvanized supply pipes and cast-iron stacks, and their sewer lines are often clay or early concrete, which tree roots get into. A camera inspection is worth it if drains keep backing up.

On lots near the river valley or a ravine, groundwater and spring melt put extra work on sump pumps and weeping tile, so a backup pump is worth considering.

If you want water or a drain in a detached garage, the line has to run below Edmonton's deep frost line, so plan it with a plumber.

In a finished basement a slow leak can hide behind drywall for months; a plumber can check the usual spots before damage spreads.

Common plumbing jobs

  • Leaks, drips and burst pipes
  • Clogged drains and sewer backups

Seasonal tip for Edmonton

Edmonton winters freeze outdoor taps and pipes in exterior walls, so shut off and drain hose bibs before the first hard frost, and test your sump pump before the spring melt.
