LICENSED PLUMBERS & GAS FITTERS · KAMLOOPS, BC
Plumber in Kamloops
Advanced Plumbing has kept Kamloops homes and businesses dry, warm and running for more than three decades. Priority same-day dispatch across Aberdeen, Sahali, Brocklehurst, Westsyde, Valleyview and Sun Peaks — with flat-rate quotes you sign before we start.
The plumber Kamloops calls back
Most plumbing calls aren't about pipes — they're about trust. Will the quote match the invoice? Will the tech wear booties on the carpet? Will the leak stay fixed? After three decades in Kamloops, we've built our shop around the answer being "yes, every time."
Priority same-day dispatch
Booked before 11 a.m. on a weekday? You're on the schedule that day. Most Aberdeen, Sahali and Brocklehurst arrivals fall inside a 35–60 minute window from confirmation. We don't sell overnight or 24/7 service — and we'd rather tell you that up front than miss a callback at 2 a.m.
Flat-rate written quotes
Anything over $250 is quoted flat-rate in writing before we open a wrench. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice — parts, labour, GST and disposal included. If we hit something unexpected, we stop and re-quote. No surprises.
Two trades, one truck
We're licensed plumbers and gas fitters, which means we can replace a leaky tank, hook up the new gas line, and pressure-test the appliance in one visit. For repipes, water heaters and boiler swaps it cuts your downtime — and your bill — in half.
Plumbing services we cover
Whether it's the drip you've been ignoring since February or a slab leak you didn't know about, the menu below covers nine in ten Kamloops calls. Don't see your problem listed? Phone us — chances are we've fixed it before.
Leak detection & repair
Hidden leaks waste water, spike your bill and rot framing. Our techs use acoustic and thermal tools to pinpoint pinhole leaks behind drywall, under slabs and in crawlspaces — then patch or repipe with PEX or copper depending on what is behind the wall.
Water heaters & tankless
Cold shower at 6 a.m.? We stock standard 40- and 50-gallon tanks for same-day swap on most weekdays, plus Navien and Rinnai tankless installs with the gas re-rate. Ask about Fortis BC rebates — many customers cover 20–30% of the upgrade.
Drain cleaning & camera inspection
Tree roots, grease, baby wipes — we cable, hydro-jet or send a camera down the line so you see what we see before paying for a dig. Recurring backups in Brocklehurst and Westsyde are usually root intrusion at the city tie-in; we will mark the spot for you.
Sump pumps & flood prevention
Spring melt off Mt Paul and the Tranquille bench has a habit of finding the lowest basement on the block. We install primary and battery-backup sump pumps, sealed sumps, and BC-code backflow preventers — then test annually if you are on a service plan.
Fixtures, faucets & toilets
Renovating? Bring us the box and we will install — taps, rain heads, soaker tubs, comfort-height toilets. We carry Moen, Delta and Kohler cartridges in the truck, so the running toilet keeping you up gets fixed today, not next week.
Gas fitting & appliance hookup
BBQ line off the deck, range conversion to gas, fireplace logs, garage heater — we are TSBC-licensed gas fitters, which means the permit, the install and the leak test happen in one visit. We finish with a sticker on the meter and the paperwork in your inbox.

Neighbourhoods we serve in Kamloops
We work all over the Tournament Capital — and a few places the GPS won't admit are part of it. Below are the areas where we've done the most plumbing work in the last three decades.
Aberdeen
Newer subdivision homes off Pacific Way, mostly PEX with poly-B holdovers in the older streets. Common calls: kitchen island leaks, hose-bib bursts on north-facing exterior walls, and water-softener installs for the harder Aberdeen reservoir water.
Sahali
Lower Sahali's older galvanized lines and Upper Sahali's newer copper both have their tells. We do a lot of repipes on Hillside, drain rebuilds near TRU rentals, and tankless water-heater swaps in the higher-end builds along Springhill and Hugh Allan.
Brocklehurst
Mature trees mean mature root problems — most Brocklehurst basements have had the line cabled at least once. We will camera the run before quoting a dig, and we coordinate the city-side repair if the break sits past the property line.
Westsyde
Spring runoff off the bench keeps our sump-pump techs busy from March to May. We service homes from the Westsyde Pool area up to Heffley and stock both primary and battery-backup pumps in the van year-round.
Valleyview
Older bungalows along Lombard, plus the newer townhouse complexes off Highland Road. We see a lot of pressure-regulator failures here (city pressure runs hot in Valleyview) and the resulting toilet-fill-valve casualties.
Sun Peaks
About 45 minutes up Tod Mountain Road. We schedule Sun Peaks calls in half-day blocks Tuesday and Thursday so you are not paying full drive-time for a 30-minute repair. Winter freeze-ups and rec-property opens/closes are our bread and butter up there.
What happens when you call
No call-centre script, no dispatcher who doesn't know a P-trap from a trap primer. Here's exactly what booking a Kamloops plumber with us looks like.
You phone us
A plumber — not an answering service — picks up. Describe the problem and the address; we will tell you whether it sounds urgent, what the dispatch window looks like for your neighbourhood, and the diagnostic fee before we hang up.
We arrive in marked vehicles
Same-day for most weekday morning calls. Tech shows up in a wrapped truck, in uniform, with booties and drop cloths. We text 20 minutes out so nobody is stuck waiting.
Diagnose, quote, fix
We isolate the problem, write a flat-rate quote, and only start work after you have signed it. 80% of repairs finish in the same visit because the truck stocks the parts most Kamloops homes actually need.
Clean up & warranty
Your space leaves cleaner than we found it. Most repairs come with a one-year labour warranty; new fixtures and water heaters carry the manufacturer coverage on top. Receipt hits your inbox before we drive away.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a plumber cost in Kamloops?+
A typical service call runs $120–$180 for the first hour including diagnostic, with most repairs (a leaking trap, a running toilet, a stuck shut-off) finished inside that window. Larger jobs are quoted flat-rate before we start. We always confirm the price with you before any work begins — no surprises on the invoice.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Kamloops?+
We do not dispatch overnight, and we would rather tell you that up front than miss a callback at 2 a.m. We do offer priority same-day response during business hours (Mon–Fri, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.). For overnight floods, shut your main water valve, leave us a voicemail, and you will be the first call back the next morning.
What neighbourhoods of Kamloops do you serve?+
All of Kamloops including Aberdeen, Sahali, Brocklehurst, Westsyde, Valleyview, Juniper Ridge, Batchelor Heights, North Shore, downtown and the Tournament Capital area — plus Sun Peaks, Pritchard, and Heffley Creek for routine and heating work.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. We carry TSBC contractor licence #LGA0092814, plumber certification under BC's Plumber Trade, $5M liability insurance, and full WorkSafeBC coverage. Documentation is available on request before any work begins.
How quickly can a plumber get to my house?+
Most Kamloops calls placed before 11 a.m. on a weekday are dispatched the same day. Aberdeen, Sahali and Brocklehurst average a 35–60 minute arrival window. Sun Peaks adds about 45 minutes drive time. Booking at the start of the day is the fastest way to get a tech to you.
Do you give written quotes before starting?+
Yes. After diagnosis we provide a written, flat-rate quote on the spot for any repair over $250. You sign before we start. The quote includes parts, labour, GST and disposal. There is no charge for the diagnostic if you proceed with the repair the same day.
