Owning a property in Winnipeg while living in the USA or traveling internationally can be stressful especially when it comes to plumbing. A small leak, frozen pipe, or unnoticed issue can quickly turn into costly damage when no one is home to catch it early.
That’s why professional property plumbing maintenance is essential for absentee property owners.

At Argo Plumbing, we specialize in helping Winnipeg homeowners, landlords, and investors protect their properties even when they’re thousands of miles away.
Why Plumbing Maintenance Is Critical for Absentee Property Owners
Plumbing problems don’t wait until you’re back in town. In fact, vacant or lightly occupied homes are more vulnerable to plumbing failures, especially during Winnipeg’s extreme weather conditions.
Common risks include:
Frozen or burst pipes during winter
Slow leaks causing hidden water damage
Sump pump or backwater valve failures
Aging hot water tanks failing without warning
Sewer backups in unmonitored properties
Without routine inspections, these issues can go unnoticed for weeks or months, leading to extensive repairs and insurance claims.
Winnipeg’s Climate Makes Preventive Plumbing Even More Important
Winnipeg’s cold winters and fluctuating temperatures put extra strain on plumbing systems. Properties that sit empty or are rented short-term are especially at risk.
Professional plumbing maintenance helps:
Ensure pipes are properly insulated and protected
Confirm shut-off valves are functional
Identify early signs of corrosion or wear
Test sump pumps, floor drains, and backwater valves
Prevent emergency calls while you’re abroad
What Professional Plumbing Maintenance Includes
A professional maintenance visit provides peace of mind and documentation that your property is being cared for responsibly.
Typical services include:
Full plumbing system inspection
Leak detection and pressure testing
Hot water tank inspection and flushing
Drain and sewer line assessment
Fixture and shut-off valve testing
Seasonal winterization or de-winterization
For property owners living outside Canada, this proactive approach can mean the difference between a minor fix and a major renovation.
