We dispatch a licensed plumber to your home right away. We arrive with the tools and expertise to stop further damage, protect your property, and restore your plumbing system as quickly as possible.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement
When your water heater stops working, you notice immediately. No hot showers, no hot water for dishes, no comfort on a cold Kamloops morning. Hot water heaters fail for several reasons: sediment buildup from mineral-heavy water, a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or age and wear. When we diagnose a water heater, we identify the age of the appliance, troubleshoot the heating elements with a multimeter, examine the anode rod, and listen for popping or rumbling sounds indicating sediment has hardened at the bottom of the tank. In Kamloops, high mineral levels in the water accelerate sediment buildup. This insulates the heating element and forces the unit to work harder to produce hot water. If your hot water heater is over 8 years old, the anode rod is likely spent, and the tank is corroding from the inside. Water heater replacement is often the smarter investment. We walk you through the numbers so you can decide what makes sense for your home and water heater needs. At our plumbing company, Kamloops plumbers can install traditional tank water heaters, high-efficiency tankless water heaters, and hybrid models.
Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal
A slow-draining sink or shower is more than an inconvenience. The problem signals a type of buildup restricting your pipes. Hair, grease, soap scum, food particles, and mineral deposits accumulate over time, and if left for long enough, clogs will form. If ignored, clogs will worsen, and DIY chemical drain cleaners are not the solution. Chemical drain cleaners often make the problem worse by corroding pipes and pushing clogs deeper into your plumbing system. Professional drain cleaning is not just about clearing the blockage. We need to know the context of the blockage. If one fixture is affected, we often start with a cable auger to clear the immediate blockage and inspect what comes out. Hair, grease, and soap scum suggest a fixture trap or branch line issue. If we pull back tree roots, see recurring clogs, or find snaking only provides temporary relief, we recommend a camera inspection to see the full picture. HydroScrub® Jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe and remove years of buildup. Jetting is effective for grease-lined kitchen drains, scale buildup in older pipes, and root-invaded sewer lines. We choose the drain service method based on what's happening in your pipes, not what's fastest for us. You get a solution built to work, not a temporary fix.
Frozen Pipe Thawing and Prevention
When temperatures drop below freezing, water inside your pipes freezes and expands. This creates pressure splitting pipes and causes leaks once the ice thaws. Kamloops sits in the Thompson Valley, where the winter temperatures stay below -20°C for days during cold snaps. Freeze-thaw cycles are frequent from November through March. Frozen pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and rim joist areas are most vulnerable. Cold air infiltration and lack of insulation expose them to outdoor temperatures. When water freezes inside a pipe, the water expands by roughly 9 percent. This creates pressure that splits copper, PEX, or galvanized steel. The real damage often happens when the ice thaws and water starts flowing through the split section, flooding walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces. If you turn on a faucet and nothing comes out, or you notice frost on exposed pipes, you have a frozen pipe and will need to call our plumber in Kamloops immediately. Our licensed plumbers will safely thaw frozen pipes using controlled heat application, assess for damage, and recommend insulation or heat tape solutions to prevent recurrence. Call us for frozen pipe repair services.
Sewer Line Repair and Video Inspection
When multiple drains in your home back up at once, you notice foul odors near your foundation, or you see unexplained wet spots in your yard, you have a sewer line problem. Tree roots, aging clay or cast iron pipes, ground shifts, and blockages compromise your main sewer line. The consequences are serious. Many homes in established Kamloops neighbourhoods like North Kamloops and Brocklehurst were built between the 1950s and 1970s. A significant number still have original cast-iron sewer lines or clay tile sections. Cast iron corrodes from the inside out over 50 to 70 years. This creates rough interior surfaces, catching debris and allowing root intrusion. If we find isolated damage in one section, trenchless pipe lining often repairs the problem without excavating your yard. If the sewer line has multiple failure points or widespread corrosion, a full replacement is the more reliable long-term solution. We show you the camera footage so you see exactly what we're recommending and why. Our video camera inspection service lets us see inside your sewer line without digging up your yard. We identify the exact location and cause of the problem, then recommend the most effective repair method. You get a permanent solution protecting your home and your property value.
Leak Detection and Leak Repair
Not all leaks are obvious. A leaky faucet is easy to spot. A slow leak inside a wall, under a slab, or in your water line goes unnoticed for months. This wastes thousands of gallons of water and causes hidden damage to your home's structure. If your water bill has increased without explanation, you hear water running when all fixtures are off, or you notice damp spots, discolouration, or mold growth, you have a hidden leak. Our licensed plumbers use advanced leak detection equipment to locate the source without tearing apart your walls or floors. Once we find the leak, we perform the leak repair properly and help you understand what caused the failure so you can prevent future issues. Even a small leak adds up. Fixing the problem saves you money and protects your home.
Kitchen Sink Repair and Sump Pump Services
Kitchen sink repair addresses common issues such as clogged drains, leaking faucets, and worn garbage disposals. Grease and food particles build up in kitchen drains faster than in other fixtures. Professional drain cleaning removes the buildup and restores proper flow. Sump pump services keep your basement dry during heavy rain and spring snowmelt. We test sump pumps, replace failed units, and install battery backup systems so your pump keeps working during power outages. A working sump pump prevents basement flooding and protects your foundation from water damage.
Gas Fitter Services and Water Line Repairs
Gas fitter services require specialized training and licensing, which is why a plumber is always required for this type of job. When it comes to gas line services, we handle gas line installations, repairs, and inspections. Water line repairs address leaks, breaks, and pressure issues in the main supply line bringing water into your home. A broken water line floods your property and interrupts your water supply. But we will locate the problem, shut off the water, and perform the repair or replacement needed to restore service safely.
Septic Tank Services and Water Treatment Solutions
Our septic tank services include inspections, installations, and repairs for homes not connected to municipal sewer systems. A failing septic system causes sewage backups, foul odors, and environmental contamination. Regular maintenance extends the life of your septic system and prevents expensive emergency repairs. For our water treatment solutions, we can address hard water, iron staining, and other water quality issues affecting your home. We install water softeners, filtration systems, and treatment equipment, improving water quality at every fixture. With these adjustments, you will get cleaner dishes, softer laundry, and better-tasting drinking water.
