Local Edmonton 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 Edmonton homes. We work on heritage properties in Old Strathcona, Garneau and Highlands, established houses in Glenora and newer construction in Terwillegar, Windermere and the southeast. You can reach a licensed plumber in Edmonton at any hour.
Mature inner-city homes may still have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals that collect tree roots. Newer suburbs generally use PEX, ABS and tankless systems. We carry tools and parts for both and explain which repair fits the condition we find.
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.
Long periods below freezing put piping in uninsulated walls, rim joists and crawlspaces at risk. Edmonton's water, at roughly 10 to 16 grains per gallon, can also leave scale in tanks and fixtures. In older combined-sewer areas, heavy rain or rapid melt may cause backups. We repair frozen pipes and service backwater valves, sump pumps and weeping tile for these local conditions.
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 Edmonton; it does not represent a public branch address.

Perimeter Drainage Service in EdmontonChoosing a plumber
When comparing Edmonton 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 Glenora faucet or an Old Strathcona sewer line.
Winter focus
When cold weather lasts for days, water can freeze and expand inside poorly insulated pipe. Flooding often starts when the split line thaws. Exterior walls, rim joists, crawlspaces, garages and hose bibs that were not drained in fall are common trouble spots.
If a pipe freezes, shut off the main water supply and have the line thawed and inspected. We repair splits and may recommend rerouting or insulating a vulnerable run. A frost-free hose bib can also help where an outdoor connection repeatedly freezes.
Flood protection
Many older Edmonton neighbourhoods use combined sewers. Heavy rain or rapid spring melt 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. The City's backwater valve subsidy applies to eligible pre-1989 homes.
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.
