Plumber in Regina

Regina housing stock splits sharply. Cathedral, the Crescents, North Central and Al Ritchie carry a lot of pre-1950 construction — clay sewer laterals, galvanised supply lines nearing the end of their life, and cast iron stacks. Root intrusion and pinhole leaks are the routine calls.

The newer south and east — Harbour Landing, Greens on Gardiner, Eastbrook — is PEX and ABS, so the failures are different: manufacturer defects, poorly supported runs, and sump pumps undersized for lots with a high water table.

City-wide, the constant is cold. A −35 stretch reliably produces a wave of frozen and burst pipes, concentrated in unheated crawlspaces, garages and exterior walls on the north face of the house.
