Multi-Family Plumbing in Manitoba

Multi-Unit Residential Expertise

Multi-family buildings present unique plumbing challenges that require specialized knowledge. Patterson Mechanical provides comprehensive plumbing services for apartment buildings, condominium complexes, and townhouse developments throughout Stonewall, Winnipeg, and the surrounding Manitoba region.

Whether you're a developer building new multi-family units, a property manager maintaining an existing building, or a condo board addressing plumbing issues, our team has the experience to deliver reliable solutions.

Water Meter Banks & Sub-Metering

Individual water metering is increasingly important for multi-family property owners. Whether required by code for new construction or being retrofitted to encourage conservation, water meter banks allow you to track usage for each unit separately. Our installations feature:

• Individual unit meters: Brass water meters for accurate, long-lasting measurement of each unit's consumption
• Unit shut-off valves: Ball valves at each meter allow maintenance on individual units without affecting others
• Organized layout: Clean, labeled installations that make reading and maintenance straightforward
• Remote-read capability: Wire connections for automated meter reading systems when required
• Code compliance: Installations that meet Manitoba plumbing code requirements

Sub-metering benefits property owners by enabling usage-based billing, encouraging water conservation among tenants, and helping identify leaks or unusual consumption patterns in specific units.

New Construction Services

For developers building new multi-family projects, we provide complete plumbing packages designed for efficiency and code compliance:

• Complete plumbing rough-in and finish for all unit types
• Efficient system design that minimizes costs while meeting code
• Centralized water meter banks with individual unit metering
• Coordination with other mechanical trades for smooth construction
• Proper sizing for adequate water pressure across all units and floors
• Common area plumbing (laundry rooms, utility rooms, exterior hose bibs)

Retrofit & Upgrade Services

Older buildings often need plumbing upgrades to maintain reliability and meet current standards:

• Adding sub-metering to buildings with shared water service
• Replacing aging plumbing risers and distribution systems
• Unit renovations and fixture upgrades
• Common area plumbing maintenance and improvements
• Water heater replacements and upgrades
• Water conservation improvements to reduce operating costs

Property Management Support

We work with property managers to provide responsive service for tenant plumbing issues. Our team understands the importance of minimizing disruption to tenants while addressing problems quickly and effectively. With individual shut-off valves at each unit's water meter, repairs can often be made without affecting water service to other tenants.
