Working in Older Homes
Winnipeg's River Heights, Wolseley, and other established neighbourhoods have beautiful homes—many with original plumbing from the 1920s or earlier. Renovating in these homes requires special care:
- Working with (or replacing) galvanized water lines
- Connecting to cast iron drain stacks
- Solving low water pressure issues
- Bringing older systems up to current code standards
We approach older homes with respect for their character while ensuring your renovation results in a safe, functional plumbing system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move my sink to a different wall during a kitchen reno?
Usually yes, though it depends on access to drain lines and how far you're moving. We assess each situation and provide options. Moving a sink significantly may require opening walls or floors, but it's often worth it for the layout you want.
Do I need a permit for renovation plumbing?
In Manitoba, plumbing work generally requires a permit and inspection. Simple fixture replacements in the same location may not, but any new plumbing or relocated fixtures typically do. We handle permitting as part of our service.
How do you add a bathroom to a basement below the sewer line?
We install a sewage ejector pump system that collects waste and pumps it up to the main sewer line. This is a reliable, code-compliant solution that allows full bathrooms in below-grade spaces.
