Locally owned and operated in NW Calgary, we understand the unique challenges Edgemont properties face. Edgemont sits on higher ground in northwest Calgary, but that doesn't mean you're immune to plumbing problems.

The older homes here often have original fixtures and water lines due for updates, and the newer builds sometimes have builder-grade components failing earlier than expected.

Local Edgemont & NW Calgary Expertise

Our Calgary plumbers work and live in the NW, which means we understand Edgemont's unique challenges — from the original 1990s plumbing reaching end-of-life to the elevation changes that cause drainage issues in some areas.

Most Edgemont homes were built during Calgary's growth boom, so we see a mix of quality levels depending on the builder and year. Whether you've got Poly-B piping that needs replacing or builder-grade fixtures failing early, we've seen it all.

Alberta's extreme weather puts extra stress on plumbing systems, and Calgary's building codes have evolved significantly since the 1990s. Same crew covers neighbouring Tuscany and Varsity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my drains keep backing up in my Edgemont home?

Edgemont homes from the 1990s often have cast iron drain lines that are starting to corrode, creating rough surfaces where debris catches and builds up. Tree roots are also common culprits, especially on properties with mature landscaping. We use camera inspections to pinpoint the exact problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Do you service both the original Edgemont and newer Edgemont developments?

Yes, we service all areas of Edgemont, from the original 1990s developments to the newer infill homes built in recent years. Each area has different plumbing characteristics, and our team knows what to expect in each section of the neighborhood. We keep our trucks stocked with parts for both older and newer plumbing systems.

How quickly can you get to my Edgemont home for an emergency?

For genuine plumbing emergencies in Edgemont, our priority dispatch gets a tech on the way as quickly as conditions allow. Our emergency plumbers are familiar with the neighborhood and keep the most common repair parts in their trucks. We understand that every minute counts when you're dealing with flooding or sewer backups.

Should I replace my Poly-B plumbing if I'm selling my Edgemont home?

Poly-B replacement isn't legally required for home sales in Calgary, but it's becoming a major negotiating point with buyers and their home inspectors. Most Edgemont homes with Poly-B are now 25-30 years old, which is when these systems typically start failing. Getting quotes for replacement gives you options during negotiations and prevents surprises down the road.

Do I need a water softener in Edgemont?

Calgary has some of the hardest water in Canada, and Edgemont is no exception. A quality water softener extends the life of your hot water tank, prevents mineral buildup in faucets, and reduces soap scum. Most Edgemont homeowners with original 1990s plumbing see meaningful reductions in fixture failures after softener installation.
