Plumber in Chase
A highway town on Little Shuswap Lake, southwest of Salmon Arm toward Kamloops. Call us and we'll come out.
Chase sits where Little Shuswap Lake narrows into the South Thompson River, and the Trans-Canada runs through on the way to Kamloops. The work is the same as in Salmon Arm: a leak, a drain that will not clear, a hot water tank, or a line that froze. The drive from Salmon Arm is longer than a trip to Tappen or Sorrento. Travel can change the price, and we say so before we come.
The village and the highway
Houses in the village sit close to the river and the highway. A leak in an older bathroom, a water heater in a tight mechanical room, and a main shut-off that has not been turned in years are ordinary calls. Tell us the street and whether anyone is home. If the Trans-Canada is slow in snow, say so when you phone. We would rather set a time that works than guess the drive from a map.
In BC, gas appliance work needs a licensed gas fitter and a permit. Technical Safety BC oversees gas licences. If you smell gas, leave the building, then call 911 and FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911. After the gas is safe, call us about the appliance. Thehot water tank page explains repair versus replacement.
Little Shuswap Lake
Places along Little Shuswap Lake include year-round houses and cabins that sit quiet after summer. A cabin left empty needs the water shut off and the lines drained before a cold snap. In spring, open the supply slowly and walk the place before you leave the valve wide open. A split pipe can look dry until the ice inside it thaws. If you already have a wet floor, shut the water and use the emergency plumber steps.
Say whether the building is in the village, on the lake, or up a side road. Those are different drives, and the price should match the one we are actually making. A gate code and a dog in the yard belong in that first call. If the only person with a key is still on the highway, the visit should wait.
What to have ready
Town, address, what failed, and whether water is still running. A well or a septic system matters. We clear blocked pipes in the house. Pumping a septic tank is a septic pumper's job. We confirm the price before we start. Typical ranges, labelled as estimates, are on thecost page. Lake communities closer to Salmon Arm are on theShuswap page. If the problem is a slow sink rather than a burst line, the drain cleaning page and theleak repair page say what to shut off first.
