Fixture Repair & Renovation Plumbing in Victoria, BC

Taps and toilets

Drips usually come from a worn cartridge or washer. A running toilet is usually the flapper or fill valve. A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base needs a new seal before water damages the subfloor.

Showers and tubs

A shower that turns scalding when someone flushes needs a pressure-balancing valve. Leaks behind tile often come from the valve or the drain and need attention before mould sets in.

Secondary suites

Many Greater Victoria homes have or are adding a basement or garden suite. That can mean a second kitchen, bathroom, laundry and sometimes a separate hot water tank. Suites need permits, and drain sizes and venting have to meet code.

Kitchens and bathrooms

Moving a sink, toilet or shower means new drain and vent lines as well as supply. In homes over a crawl space this is often straightforward; on a slab it means cutting concrete. Plan the layout with the plumber early.

Older homes

Renovating a house built many decades ago often uncovers old cast-iron drains, galvanized pipe or unusual past repairs. Budget for some surprises, and ask the plumber to look at the condition of the pipes before walls are closed.

Plan the job

Ask about permits and inspections for anything beyond a like-for-like swap. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.

Water-saving fixtures

Low-flow toilets, aerators and efficient shower heads cut water use with little change in how they feel. Ask the plumber which models suit older drain lines, which sometimes need more water to carry waste well.
