Plumbing Repairs
Accurate diagnosis before any repair begins
Overview
Most plumbing problems have more than one possible cause. Before we recommend a repair, we take the time to understand what's actually happening — where the problem started, what's contributing to it, and what the most practical fix looks like for your situation.
Common warning signs
- Visible water staining on walls, ceilings, or floors
- Unexplained increase in your water bill
- Sounds of running or dripping water when everything is off
- Reduced water flow at one or more fixtures
- Damp or soft areas in walls or flooring
- Mould or musty odour without an obvious source
Possible causes
An on-site assessment is needed to confirm the cause in your specific situation. This list represents common possibilities, not a diagnosis.
- Worn or degraded pipe joints or fittings
- Corrosion in older copper, galvanized, or polybutylene pipe
- Movement or settling that has stressed pipe connections
- Fixture wear — valves, washers, cartridges
- High water pressure causing joint stress over time
- Frozen and thawed pipe sections (common in Winnipeg winters)
What we inspect
- Supply and drain connections at affected fixtures
- Shut-off valves and their condition
- Pipe material and visible pipe condition
- Water pressure at the affected area
- Evidence of previous repairs
- Access requirements for any concealed sections

Factors that may affect cost
We provide written estimates before any work begins. The following factors may affect the scope and cost.
- Whether the affected pipe or fitting is accessible or concealed
- Pipe material — some materials require specific fittings or methods
- Scope of the damage — pinhole leak vs. section replacement
- Water damage or related remediation needs (outside scope of plumbing)
- Any additional shut-off or access valve work needed
