Plumbing for homes in Ottewell
Most houses are 1950s and 60s bungalows on generous lots, many with original detached garages.
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.
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
- Leaks, drips and burst pipes

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.
