Local plumber edmonton
When you need a plumber Edmonton locals actually recommend, you want a crew that knows the city - the heritage homes in Old Strathcona, Garneau and Highlands, the established character stock in Glenora, and the newer builds out in Terwillegar, Windermere and the southeast. Right Choice Plumbing is that crew, and you can reach a real person at licensed plumber in Edmonton any hour of the day.
Edmonton's housing runs the full range, and so does its plumbing. The mature inner-city neighbourhoods still carry galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains and clay sewer laterals that catch tree roots, while the newer suburbs run PEX, ABS and tankless systems. The plumber Edmonton homeowners want is comfortable with both, and we carry the tools, parts and training to handle either without trying to talk you into work you do not need.
We answer the phone 24/7. For emergency plumber Edmonton calls - a pipe frozen and split during a deep cold snap, a sewer backup, no hot water at -30 - we dispatch right away and carry the common parts on the van so most jobs finish in one trip. For planned plumbing Edmonton work we book same-day or next-day, arrive in the window, and hand you a flat-rate quote before any wrench turns.
Two local realities shape the Edmonton plumbing year. First, the deep winter: when the temperature sits well below freezing for days, any line in an uninsulated wall, rim joist or crawlspace is at risk, and a frozen pipe that bursts can flood a basement in minutes. Second, water: Edmonton's supply runs moderately hard at roughly 10 to 16 grains per gallon, which scales tanks and fixtures over time, and the older combined-sewer areas can back up during heavy rain or melt - which is why backwater valves, sump pumps and weeping-tile work are such common Edmonton requests.

Perimeter Drainage Service in EdmontonChoosing a plumber
Among the Edmonton plumbing companies you can call, the real differences are specifics: a Red Seal certified plumber on the job, proof of insurance, pricing in writing before the work starts, an honest response time, and a van that actually carries the parts to finish in one visit. Right Choice Plumbing meets every one of those on every plumbing Edmonton call.
We are the Edmonton plumber locals reach for because we treat each call like the first one - clean trucks, drop cloths down, boots covered, the work area swept, photos of the finished job and an emailed invoice. That is the plumbing company Edmonton standard we hold ourselves to, whether it is a faucet swap in Glenora or a sewer line in Old Strathcona.
Winter focus
Edmonton winters are the single biggest driver of emergency plumbing here. When the cold settles in for days, water in any poorly insulated line freezes, expands and can split the pipe, and the flooding usually starts the moment it thaws. The lines most at risk are in exterior walls, rim joists, crawlspaces, garages and at hose bibs that were not drained in the fall.
If you have a pipe that has frozen, shut the main water off and call us - a frozen line should be thawed and inspected, not forced. Our plumbing repair Edmonton crew thaws lines safely, repairs the splits, and where it keeps happening we re-route or insulate the vulnerable runs and fit frost-free hose bibs so the same pipe does not freeze again next January.
Flood protection
Many older Edmonton neighbourhoods are served by combined sewers, and heavy rain or fast spring melt can surcharge those lines and push water back toward basements. A correctly installed backwater valve on the sewer lateral closes against that backflow, and a working sump pump moves groundwater away from the foundation before it reaches your floor. The City's backwater valve subsidy has helped a lot of pre-1989 homeowners get this protection in place.
We install and service backwater valves, sump pumps, weeping tile and perimeter drains as routine drainage plumber Edmonton work. If your basement has flooded before, or you want to be ready before the next storm, we will camera-scope the line, recommend only what the house actually needs, and quote it flat-rate before we dig.
