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 (-40Β°C)
Frozen Pipe Bursts
Extreme cold causes pipes to freeze and burst, especially in older Edmonton homes with poor insulation.
Boiler/Furnace Failures
No heat emergencies during polar vortex events require immediate response to prevent pipe freezing.
Hose Bib Freezing
Outdoor taps not properly winterized can freeze and cause interior flooding.
Spring/Summer Emergencies
Spring Thaw Flooding
Rapid snowmelt overwhelms drainage systems, causing basement flooding throughout River Valley neighborhoods.
Sewer Line Root Intrusion
Edmonton's mature trees (elm, ash, poplar) aggressively seek water in sewer lines during dry summers.
Storm Drain Backups
Heavy summer storms can overwhelm city storm sewers, causing backups in homes.
