What Is Plumbing Repair & Installation?
Plumbing repair and installation includes fixing, replacing, or installing plumbing fixtures and parts that control water flow in your home or business. This can include toilets, faucets, taps, sinks, showers, valves, water lines, drain connections, and related fixtures.
In Edmonton homes, plumbing repairs are common because of:
- Daily fixture use
- Aging plumbing parts
- Hard water and mineral buildup
- Cold winter conditions
- Worn washers, cartridges, valves, and seals
- Older homes with aging fixtures
- Leaks under sinks or behind walls
- Poor previous installation work
Homes in areas like Mill Woods, Bonnie Doon, Glenora, Riverbend, Terwillegar, Windermere, and West Edmonton may experience different repair needs depending on age, fixture type, and plumbing condition.
Common Signs You Need Plumbing Repair or Installation
You may need a local plumber if you notice:
- Dripping faucet or leaking tap
- Running toilet
- Weak toilet flush
- Toilet leaking around the base
- Loose or damaged faucet handles
- Water under the sink
- Low water pressure from a fixture
- Shower valve not working properly
- Water temperature issues in the shower
- Sink drain connection leaking
- Rusted or worn fixtures
- Old fixtures that need replacement
- Cracked toilet or sink
- Tap that will not shut off fully
- Water stains near plumbing fixtures
If the same issue keeps returning, replacement may be more reliable than another temporary repair.

Plumbing Repair & Installation Services We Provide
Toilet Repair
Toilet problems can waste water and cause daily inconvenience. A running toilet, weak flush, leaking tank, or toilet that keeps clogging should be checked before the issue gets worse.
Toilet Replacement
Sometimes repairing an old toilet is not the best option. Replacement may be better if the toilet is cracked, outdated, leaking repeatedly, or wasting water.
Leaky Faucet Repair
A dripping faucet may look small, but it can waste water and raise utility bills over time. Leaks often come from worn washers, cartridges, O-rings, seals, or loose internal parts.
Tap Repair
Taps can leak, drip, squeak, loosen, or stop turning properly. These issues may be caused by worn cartridges, seals, valves, or mineral buildup.
Tap Replacement
If a tap is old, corroded, or repeatedly leaking, replacement may be the smarter option. A properly installed tap can improve reliability and appearance.
Sink Installation
A sink must be installed correctly to avoid leaks, poor drainage, loose connections, or water damage under cabinets.
Shower Repair
A shower problem can affect comfort and water use. Common issues include leaking showerheads, faulty valves, poor temperature control, low water pressure, or dripping tub spouts.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A fixture may look simple to install, but a poor connection can cause hidden leaks, poor water flow, loose fittings, or drainage problems later.
Professional installation helps ensure:
- Supply lines are connected correctly
- Drain connections are secure
- Seals are properly installed
- Fixtures are level and stable
- Water flow is tested
- Leaks are checked before completion
- Shut-off valves work properly
- The installation is safe for daily use
DIY installation mistakes can be expensive if water leaks into cabinets, walls, flooring, or ceilings.

Repair or Replace: Which Option Is Better?
Not every plumbing issue needs replacement. Many fixture problems can be repaired if the part is still in good condition. However, some old or damaged fixtures may cost more to keep repairing than to replace.
Repair may be best when:
- The fixture is fairly new
- The issue is small
- Parts are available
- The fixture is not badly corroded
- The problem has not happened repeatedly
Replacement may be better when:
- The fixture keeps leaking
- Parts are worn out or unavailable
- The fixture is cracked or corroded
- Repair would only be temporary
- You want a more reliable upgrade
- Water waste is becoming a concern
Repair is usually best for small, isolated fixture problems. Replacement may be better when the toilet, faucet, tap, sink, or shower part is old, damaged, corroded, or repeatedly failing. A plumber can inspect the fixture and recommend the most practical option.
When Should You Call a Plumber Quickly?
Some fixture problems can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others need faster attention.
Call a plumber quickly if:
- Water is leaking under a sink
- A toilet is overflowing
- A tap will not shut off
- A pipe connection is leaking
- Water is damaging cabinets or flooring
- A shower valve is stuck
- A fixture is loose and leaking
- Water is leaking near electrical areas
- A toilet is cracked
- A leak keeps returning after DIY repair
For urgent water leaks, you may need emergency plumbing support.

Trusted by Edmonton families
Posted on Google shahzad razaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike went above and beyond when my sump pump stopped working during the heavy rains we've been getting in Edmonton. He walked me through how to safely test it over the phone late at night, gave me a practical tip to keep the water away from the walls until morning, and even tracked down a replacement pump during a city-wide shortage. First thing in the morning he was at my door and had it sorted. This is the kind of tradesperson you want on speed dial, honest, calm under pressure, and genuinely helpful even before the job starts. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Keba MillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike at Family Wise Plumbing in short was great. I had an urgent need and he showed up promptly and resolved the issue. He even took the time to walk me through some know how in terms of plumbing. I will be keeping his info for future needs and would recommend to anyone who asks. Price was also great. Thank you Mike.Posted on Google pall98Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was great, super nice guy, came on short notice and was very knowledgeable and honest. Definitely happy we gave him a call and would 100% recommend to anyone.Posted on Google Judy HuckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family Wise Plumbing and Drain Cleaning repaired a leak on the outside water tap and a leak in the cold water line in the basement. Mike was friendly, professional and gave us the best price possible. The repair was done promptly and efficently. Mike even helped set up and install a water timer I had purchased. The cost was very reasonable compared to quotes from other companies. We would definitely recommend Mike for your future plumbing and drain issues.Posted on Google ed jTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you ever need help with your plumbing needs, Michael is your answer. Reliable, knowledgeable and service is reasonably priced. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Raj BrarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family Wise Plumbing was courteous and quick to respond to my call. Came out and assessed the issue and fixed the clog. I highly recommend Family Wise Plumbing to anyone looking for plumbing repairs.Posted on Google Stuart HelfrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Mike from Family Wise Plumbing, and would highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs. My sewer mainline was backed up, and after I had no success trying to auger it myself I called Mike for help. He was super friendly while asking questions regarding my issue and very accommodating with scheduling an appointment. Mike showed up on time and got right to work; but not before taking a quick look at the work area, helping me clear out some items obstructing access, assisting with cleaning up some water that had flooded the washroom, and even giving my girlfriend a hand sweeping snow off her vehicle. Mike went to town augering the sewer line, all while explaining to me the possible causes for a back-up and potential ways to remediate any issues. He answered all the questions I had and even offered advice for solving any possible plumbing snags with things he spotted in the basement that weren't even related to the task at hand. Mike was always updating me when/why he would switch auger heads, and when he felt he had dislodged the potential blockage. He was very respectful of me, my home, and my pets while he worked; taking care to prevent any damage and clean up as he worked. Mike got my sewer line flowing again, and after making sure it was functioning properly he charged me exactly what was quoted. No silly fees or attempts to upsell me at all. If you require a friendly, diligent, and honest plumber look no further and give Family Wise a call. I am extremely happy with the service provided, and I am confident you will be too. Thank you so much for everything Mike! (If anybody asks please tell them I at least loosened the blockage for you with my failed attempt.)Posted on Google Drey PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Mike on kijiji and I couldn't be more happy. He has to be one of the most genuine and friendly guys i have ever met. My cats loved him and probably held up the job getting in the way. When it came to the job he was extremely knowledgeable and skillful in everything he did. Our house was build in the late 60s and some of the plumbing is not the best but he fixed all the issues the came up. I now have a plumber that I will call for anything and everything. He is not like the huge plumbing outfits and you will not regret using him for any job.Posted on Google Melissa SteinkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Early January I had a leak in my water line from my humidifier and this happened at 11:30 at night when I noticed . Not fun. I don’t have a regular plumbing place either. I haven’t found one reliable or reasonable or where they don’t try to sell me a membership I don’t want. I tried calling a few companies at midnight but had to leave messages or was told they weren’t sure when someone would come so I decided to watch it all night with a bucket under and call first thing in morning to someone for help at 7 am when places opened. One place said they could come the next day. It couldn’t wait that long. I found out later I was talking to an AI voice and not a human at another place. When you have a water leak and have no idea about plumbing that could cause major damage and insurance might have to get involved you need someone urgent not the next day ! Finally I saw Family Wise online and I called but had to leave a message. This was after calling 3 others. To my surprise the owner Mike called back right away and said he could come at 11:30. He found where the leak was and fixed it and his charge was very reasonable compared to others . He even looked at my one toilet and fixed my faucets in another bathroom . He went over and above for the price he charged with no upfront cost just to come out like others do. He was very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Repair & Installation in Edmonton
How do I know if I need sewer service?
Plumbing repair cost depends on the type of fixture, parts needed, access, and repair complexity. A small faucet or toilet repair usually costs less than pipe repair or fixture replacement. Family Wise Plumbing can inspect the issue and explain pricing before starting work.
What causes sewer backups in Edmonton homes?
Repair may be enough if the faucet is newer and the issue is caused by a worn washer, cartridge, seal, or O-ring. Replacement may be better if the faucet is old, corroded, hard to repair, or keeps leaking after previous repairs.
How much does sewer service cost in Edmonton?
What is sewer camera inspection?
Yes. A plumber can install a kitchen, bathroom, vanity, or utility sink and connect the faucet, drain, supply lines, and shut-off valves. Proper installation helps prevent leaks, poor drainage, loose fittings, and water damage under cabinets.
Is sewer cleaning the same as drain cleaning?
A dripping tap is often caused by worn washers, cartridges, O-rings, seals, or valve parts. Mineral buildup can also affect how the tap closes. If the drip continues after tightening the handle, it should be checked and repaired properly.
Can tree roots block a sewer line?
A shower may leak because of a worn showerhead, faulty valve, damaged cartridge, loose connection, or tub spout issue. Some shower leaks are visible, while others may occur behind the wall. A plumber can inspect the fixture and recommend the right repair.
What should I do if my basement drain backs up?
Yes. Family Wise Plumbing helps with kitchen and bathroom fixtures including faucets, taps, sinks, toilets, showers, valves, supply lines, and drain connections. We can repair common fixture problems or recommend replacement when it is the better option.
When is sewer line repair needed?
Do you provide emergency sewer help?
Turn off the fixture shut-off valve if it is safe and accessible. Place a towel or bucket to control water, avoid using the fixture, and call a plumber. If water is spreading quickly or damaging your home, request urgent plumbing help.
