What's happening?
How it works
- Call {{TRACKING_NUMBER}} or send the form on this page. Tell us the town, what failed, and whether water is still running.
- A plumber who covers your area takes the job.
- They confirm the price and the timing with you before they start.
If the problem can wait until morning, say so. A dripping tap or a toilet that keeps running is annoying, and it is usually a daytime job. A burst line, a sewage backup, or no water at all should go through theemergency plumber page for Salmon Arm.
Before the plumber arrives
- Find the main shut-off. In many Salmon Arm houses it is where the water line enters: a mechanical room, a crawlspace, or near the meter. Turn it clockwise until it stops. On a well, the shut-off may be at the pressure tank, and switching off the pump breaker stops new water from being pushed in.
- If a hot water tank is involved, turn the gas control to off, or switch off the electric breaker, before the tank can run dry. More on that is on thehot water tank page.
- Keep electricity and water apart. Do not stand in water and flip a breaker or pick up a plug. If you are unsure, leave the power alone and tell the plumber what you see.
- If you smell gas, leave the building. Then call 911 and FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911. Do not hunt for a switch on the way out.

Gleneden sits on the north side of Salmon Arm, closer in than a lake cabin. Travel is usually a smaller part of the price. Tell us if the house is on a well or on city water, and whether the problem is a tank, a drain, or a leak.
