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.


Trusted Local Plumbing Support While You’re Away

When you’re not physically present, trust matters. Working with a licensed, insured, and experienced Winnipeg plumbing company ensures:

  • Fast response if issues are discovered

  • Clear communication and photo/video updates

  • Transparent pricing with no surprises

  • Reliable emergency service if needed

Argo Plumbing regularly supports homeowners, landlords, and property managers who live or visit the USA or overseas, serving as their local eyes and ears when it comes to plumbing.
