Plumbers in Old Strathcona, Edmonton

Old Strathcona is the historic heart of the south side, centred on Whyte Avenue's shops, theatres and the farmers' market.
Plumbing for homes in Old Strathcona
Homes include heritage houses from the early 1900s, walk-ups and newer condos near the avenue.
Homes this old can still have galvanized steel supply lines and cast-iron drains that corrode from the inside and cut water pressure. If you're renovating, ask a plumber to check what's behind the walls first.
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.
Basement suites need hot water and drains for two households, so water heater size and drain capacity matter.
Common plumbing jobs

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.
