Need a plumber downtown Edmonton? What to do first

Plumber downtown Edmonton: the area at a glance

The City's profile puts Downtown between 105 Avenue on the north, 110 Street on the west and the North Saskatchewan River Valley escarpment on the south. It has been redeveloped in one form or another since the 1970s, and new housing has been a big part of that since the late 1990s. The City lists Downtown among its mature neighbourhoods, a label it uses for areas generally completed before 1970.

Downtown Edmonton flooding or a water leak in ceiling

If you live in a multi-unit building, EPCOR says to contact your building manager to shut off the water. If water is coming through your ceiling from a unit above, that is the first call.

Stay out of water near outlets or cords. Then see water leaks for the rest of the steps.

Plumber in Edmonton for older downtown buildings

EPCOR says lead was used for water service lines in homes built before 1960. If the pipe at your water meter is grey, EPCOR says it is galvanized iron or lead. EPCOR keeps no records of the homeowner's part of the service line.
