Licensed plumbing, heating, and mechanical services for River Heights homeowners and businesses.
River Heights is one of Winnipeg's most sought-after neighbourhoods, celebrated for its stately elm-canopied streets, beautiful character homes, and vibrant commercial strips along Corydon Avenue and Academy Road. Built primarily between the 1910s and 1940s, River Heights homes are architectural treasures that demand plumbing professionals who understand the intricacies of older residential systems. Bridgewater Plumbing & Mechanical brings decades of combined experience to every River Heights service call, ensuring your home's plumbing performs as beautifully as its curb appeal suggests.
The character homes that define River Heights often feature multi-storey construction with plumbing systems that have been modified, extended, and patched over many decades. It is common for us to find a mix of original galvanized steel, mid-century copper additions, and modern PEX repairs all within the same house. This patchwork approach can create pressure imbalances, galvanic corrosion at dissimilar metal connections, and hidden leaks within wall cavities. Our technicians excel at tracing these complex systems, identifying weak points, and recommending targeted upgrades that improve performance without requiring a complete tear-out.
Basement plumbing in River Heights homes deserves special attention. Many of these older basements have stone or poured-concrete foundations with aging clay weeping tile and floor drains that connect to combined drainage systems. When heavy rain overwhelms these antiquated systems, basement flooding can result. We install modern backwater valves and sump pump systems that comply with the City of Winnipeg's rebate programs, helping you protect your home while potentially recovering some of the installation cost through municipal incentives.
River Heights is also home to many older boiler-based heating systems, including hot water radiators and in-floor radiant heat. Our mechanical team services and repairs these hydronic heating systems, which are relatively rare in newer Winnipeg neighbourhoods but remain prized by River Heights homeowners for their quiet, even warmth during our brutal prairie winters.
River Heights homeowners are discerning when it comes to maintaining their beloved character homes, and they choose Bridgewater Plumbing & Mechanical because we share that respect for quality. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we assess each home individually, considering its age, construction type, and existing systems before recommending solutions. Our transparent communication, fair pricing, and meticulous workmanship have earned us a loyal following among River Heights families who want a plumber they can trust for years to come.
