The recent heavy rainfall in Winnipeg has led to a busy spring for plumbing and roofing contractors in the city. In May alone, Winnipeg recorded about 114 mm of precipitation, which is double the typical amount for that month. Dallas Friesen, owner of Lynn’s Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, stated that they have been working around the clock to prevent or mitigate emergencies caused by the excessive rain. With air conditioning season approaching, the company is booking about a day out for plumbing calls and working on a backlog to ensure customers do not have to wait long to get their cooling systems up and running.
Transcona Roofing has also been experiencing a high volume of calls due to leaks caused by the heavy rainfall. Project manager Rhys Fraser mentioned that the weather in Winnipeg has been particularly unpredictable this year, with significant temperature fluctuations between days. This has led to issues with roof systems, such as shrinkage and expansion, resulting in frequent leak calls. The combination of increased rainfall, temperature changes, and new construction projects citywide has kept the company busy. On days when it is unsafe for staff to work on roofs, they find alternative tasks to keep employees occupied.
Both Lynn’s Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, and Transcona Roofing do not anticipate any supply chain issues this year, unlike in the past couple of years. Lynn’s Plumbing is fully stocked and prepared with all the necessary materials, ensuring that they can install equipment quickly for customers. Transcona Roofing also does not foresee any major issues but ensures that they order products well in advance to prevent any delays. Despite the challenges posed by the rainy weather, both companies are well-prepared to meet the needs of their customers and deliver high-quality service.
