Emergency Plumbing in Kamloops

24/7 Help That Actually Helps

A plumbing emergency doesn’t announce itself. It shows up as water where it shouldn’t be, a toilet that won’t stop rising, a water heater that quits on the coldest morning of the year. When minutes matter, you need a local team that answers, arrives, and fixes the problem the right way—not just fast, but thoroughly.
That’s exactly what Plumbers Kamloops delivers: licensed, insured, Red Seal–certified technicians on call 24/7 across Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola region.

What Counts as an Emergency?

If it can damage your home, disrupt your business, or put health at risk, it’s an emergency. Call us right away for:

• Burst or frozen pipes and active leaks

• Sewer backups, overflowing toilets, or multiple fixtures gurgling

• No hot water or leaking water heaters

• Failed sump pumps or flooding during storms

• Main drain blockages and basement floor drain overflows

• Gas odours or suspected gas line issues (after calling the utility)

Not sure how urgent it is? Call—we’ll triage on the spot and guide you through what to do while we’re en route.

Why Kamloops Calls Us First

Local and fast. We’re based here, not dispatched from a call centre. Familiarity with Kamloops neighbourhoods, soil, and infrastructure helps us route quickly and solve problems faster.

24/7 availability. Nights, weekends, holidays—we pick up. A live person answers and dispatches the nearest qualified tech.

Clear prices, calm process. Even under pressure, you deserve clarity. We give options and firm totals before work begins. No hidden fees, no upsells.

Code-true, built to last. Emergency doesn’t mean “temporary.” We use proper materials, follow BC Building Code, test our work, and document everything for insurance or strata.

Respect for your space. Drop cloths down, boots covered, work area clean when we leave. You’ll remember the relief, not the mess.

Our 5-Step Emergency Response

1. Answer & Stabilize
   We pick up 24/7, confirm your location, and walk you through immediate safety steps (e.g., shutting off main water or gas, isolating fixtures, protecting valuables).

2. Arrive Prepared
   A stocked service vehicle and a certified technician head your way with common parts for Kamloops homes—valves, PRVs, supply lines, traps, cartridges, heater components.

3. Diagnose with Certainty
   We verify the source (not just the symptom) using moisture meters, pressure tests, and, when needed, camera inspection for drains and mains.

4. Fix It Right
   Repairs are executed to manufacturer spec and code: proper joints and fittings, correct slope/venting, heat trap orientation, dielectric unions where required—details that prevent repeat failures.

5. Verify & Document
   We test under operating conditions, clean the site, and provide photos, part numbers, and a service report suitable for insurers, property managers, or strata.

Common Emergencies We See (and How We Solve Them)

Burst pipes / winter freezes
Rapid isolation, section repair or replacement (PEX/copper), insulation and thaw protocols, pressure normalization, and guidance to prevent a repeat.

Sewer backups & main line clogs
Camera locate, mechanical clearing or hydro jetting, root removal when present, and options for long-term relief (spot repair, lining, or scheduled maintenance).

Water heater failures
Safety checks first, then repair (elements, valves, igniters) or same-day replacement sized to your hot-water demand—tank or tankless—with pan, drain, and expansion compliance.

Toilet overflows & fixture leaks
Immediate shut-off, wax/seal or supply replacement, fill/flush rebuilds, and inspection for hidden moisture to protect subfloors and finishes.

Sump pump failures & storm flooding
Pump replacement or float/line repair, check-valve verification, and backup/monitoring options to harden your system before the next storm.

What You Can Do Before We Arrive

• Shut off main water. Usually where the line enters the home; clockwise to close.

• Turn off power to electric heaters (or set gas heaters to “Pilot”).

• Avoid using drains/fixtures until we assess the system.

• Move electronics and valuables away from wet areas; place towels where safe.

• If you smell gas, evacuate and call the utility immediately, then call us.

Our dispatcher can talk you through these steps in real time.

Prevent the Next Emergency

Many “surprises” are predictable. We offer preventive checks and simple upgrades that dramatically reduce risk:

• Annual pressure testing and PRV inspection

• Anode and flush service for water heaters

• Seasonal freeze protection and pipe insulation

• Camera inspections of ageing or root-prone sewers

• Sump pump testing, backup systems, and alarms

• Kitchen practice guidance (no grease) and drain screens

We’ll prioritize the highest-impact items for your home and budget.

For Property Managers & Businesses

Downtime costs real money. Our commercial emergency program includes:

• Priority 24/7 dispatch and multi-site coverage

• Work within off-hours to minimize disruption

• Compliance with health/safety and backflow requirements

• Post-visit documentation for insurers and landlords

• Optional SLA maintenance to prevent repeat incidents

From restaurants and clinics to warehouses and strata towers, we coordinate cleanly and communicate clearly.
