Common Edmonton Plumbing Emergencies
Edmonton's extreme weather creates unique plumbing challenges. We're experts at handling our city's specific emergency situations.
Winter Emergencies (-40°C)
Frozen Pipe Bursts
Edmonton's brutal winter temperatures, which can plummet to -40°C during cold snaps, cause pipes to freeze and burst—especially in older homes built before 1980 with inadequate insulation. North-facing exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and poorly insulated attics are particularly vulnerable. Our plumbers respond fast to thaw frozen pipes safely using professional equipment and repair burst sections before flooding causes thousands in water damage.
Water Heater Failures in Winter
No hot water in Edmonton winter isn't just an inconvenience—it's dangerous. When temperatures drop below -20°C, losing hot water can lead to frozen pipes within hours. Water heaters in unheated garages or basement corners are especially at risk during polar vortex events. We provide same-day water heater repair and replacement to restore your hot water immediately, preventing secondary damage to your plumbing system.
Outdoor Hose Bib Freezing and Bursts
Outdoor hose bibs not properly winterized by October 15th can freeze solid and cause devastating interior flooding. When frozen water expands inside the valve, it often bursts pipes inside your walls—damage you won't discover until spring thaw. Our after-hours plumbers repair burst hose bibs and the resulting interior damage quickly, and we can winterize your outdoor taps to prevent future freezing.
Spring/Summer Emergencies
Spring Thaw Basement Flooding
Edmonton's rapid spring snowmelt, combined with heavy April rainfall, overwhelms drainage systems and causes widespread basement flooding—especially in River Valley neighborhoods and older areas with outdated weeping tiles. Sump pumps working overtime often fail during peak spring flooding season. Our residential plumbers provide urgent sump pump replacement, foundation drain clearing, and water removal to protect your home from flood damage during Edmonton's unpredictable spring weather.
Sewer Line Root Intrusion
Edmonton's mature urban forest of elm, ash, and poplar trees aggressively seeks moisture during dry summers, with roots penetrating even small cracks in aging sewer lines. Older neighborhoods like Garneau, Bonnie Doon, and Strathcona face frequent sewer backups from root intrusion in clay pipes installed before 1970. Our licensed plumbers use professional hydro jetting and video camera inspection to clear root-blocked sewer lines and prevent sewage backups in your home.
Heavy Storm Drain Overwhelm
Edmonton's intense summer thunderstorms can dump 50mm+ of rain in under an hour, overwhelming city storm sewers and causing sewage to back up into basements through floor drains. Low-lying areas in Mill Woods, Terwillegar, and Castle Downs are particularly vulnerable during heavy rainfall events. Our weekend plumber service responds fast to storm-related backups, clearing main lines and installing backwater valves to prevent future flooding during severe weather.

Response times vary by your location and current call volume, but we prioritize true emergencies like flooding and gas leaks. Our plumbers are stationed throughout Edmonton to minimize travel time. When you call, our dispatcher will provide your estimated arrival time immediately based on your specific situation and the nearest available plumber.
Yes, after-hours emergency services have additional charges to cover immediate availability and skilled plumbers on-call 24/7. However, we provide upfront pricing before any work begins so there are no surprises. Many customers find the extra cost worthwhile to prevent thousands in water damage—a burst pipe causing flooding overnight can cost $5,000+ to repair if left until morning.

We're compliant with all provincial regulations and Edmonton building codes for emergency plumbing repairs.
Most burst pipe repairs are completed within 1-2 hours of our arrival. We respond as quickly as possible across Edmonton, immediately stop the water flow, assess the damage, and make permanent repairs on the spot. Our service vehicles carry pipe sections and fittings for Edmonton's most common plumbing systems, allowing us to complete most burst pipe repairs during the initial visit without return trips.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater repair and replacement throughout Edmonton. No hot water in winter qualifies as an emergency.

For units beyond repair, we stock emergency water heaters and can complete same-day replacement installations to restore your hot water immediately.
We provide upfront pricing for all emergency work before beginning repairs. There's a diagnostic service call fee for emergency dispatch ($149-249 depending on time/day). If you proceed with our recommended repairs, this fee is applied toward the total repair cost. We never perform work without your approval of the final price.
We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), debit cards, and e-transfer for emergency services. For larger emergency repairs, we offer financing options and work directly with insurance companies for covered claims. Payment is due upon completion of emergency work unless prior arrangements are made.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service every day of the year including Christmas, New Year's, Easter, and all statutory holidays. Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Holiday service rates may apply.
It depends on the severity. For major water leaks, burst pipes, gas leaks, or sewage backups, waiting can cause thousands in additional damage. Even a small leak can cause hidden water damage, mold growth, and structural issues if left overnight. When in doubt, call us—we can help you assess whether your situation requires immediate attention or can wait until regular business hours.
Your main water shut-off valve is typically located in your basement near the water meter or where the main line enters your home. It's usually a wheel-style valve you turn clockwise to shut off. In Edmonton homes, it's often in the mechanical room or near the front foundation wall. Every household member should know this location before an emergency occurs. If you can't find yours, we can show you during any service call.
Yes, all emergency repairs come with our comprehensive warranty: 1-year guarantee on all labor, manufacturer warranties on parts and fixtures, and 30-day guarantee on drain clearing services. If any emergency repair fails within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are guaranteed.
