Local Calgary plumber
Right Choice Plumbing was founded in 2023. The company is newer, while our licensed crew brings decades of combined plumbing and drainage experience to Calgary homes. We work on century houses and infills in Inglewood, Bridgeland and Hillhurst, Beltline condos and newer construction in Auburn Bay, Mahogany and Cranston. You can reach a licensed plumber in Calgary at any hour.
Water from the Bow and Elbow rivers contains enough calcium and magnesium to leave scale in tanks, pipes and fixtures. That buildup can shorten tank life, restrict older galvanized or copper lines, clog aerators and seize cartridges. We can repair the fixture, descale the affected equipment or size a water softener when one is appropriate.
The phone is answered 24/7 for frozen or burst pipes, sewer backups and loss of hot water. Our vans carry common parts so many repairs can be finished in one visit. Planned work is usually available the same or next day, with a flat-rate quote provided before work begins.
Chinook temperature swings are hard on supply lines, hose bibs and piping in uninsulated walls or crawlspaces. Spring melt and summer storms can also overload older combined sewers. We thaw and repair frozen pipes and install or service backwater valves, sump pumps and perimeter drainage.
Right Choice Plumbing is a service-area business with crews serving Greater Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Calls stay with the crew for that metro area. We travel to customers by appointment and do not operate a public walk-in storefront. This page covers appointments in Calgary; it does not represent a public branch address.

Perimeter Drainage Service in CalgaryChoosing a plumber
When comparing Calgary plumbing companies, ask whether a Red Seal certified plumber will attend the job. Confirm insurance, response time, written pricing and whether common parts are stocked on the service vehicle.
Our plumbers use drop cloths and boot covers, clean the work area and document the finished repair. You receive an emailed invoice whether the job is a Beltline faucet or an Inglewood sewer line.
Hard water focus
Calgary's mineral-rich water leaves scale inside hot water tanks, pipes and fixtures. Buildup on burners or elements makes a tank work harder. It can also narrow pipes, reduce pressure, block aerators and seize cartridges.
Depending on the condition, we may descale and rebuild a fixture, flush and service the tank or fit a correctly sized water softener where the supply enters the home. We assess the system before recommending a softener.
Flood protection
Some older inner-city areas use combined sewers. Heavy spring melt or a summer storm can overload those lines and push water toward basements. A backwater valve closes against sewer backflow, while a sump pump moves groundwater away from the foundation.
We install and service backwater valves, sump pumps, weeping tile and perimeter drains. If a basement has flooded before, we can inspect the line with a camera, recommend work based on its condition and quote the job before digging.
