Quick answer
For plumbing repairs, leaks, fixtures and renovation plumbing in Kelowna, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. You get a fair, upfront price before work starts, and we are open 24/7 for leaks you can't shut off.
We do the residential plumbing between the water main and the drains: finding and fixing leaks, repairing copper, PEX and Poly-B pipe, replacing worn fixtures and valves, and the rough-in and finishing work for bathroom, kitchen and suite renovations. Customers' Google reviews describe jobs like a new water tank and a replaced pressure-reducing valve on the main in one visit, shower and tub rough-ins for renovations, emergency water leaks and a leaky outdoor faucet.
How a call runs: tell us what you're seeing, and send a photo if you can. We look at it, find the cause, and explain your options and give you a fair, upfront price before any work starts. If a part failed because of something nearby, like corrosion or high water pressure, we tell you, so the same leak doesn't turn up a few feet down the line.
What affects the price: how easy the problem is to reach (an open basement ceiling or finished drywall), the pipe material, whether old shut-offs need replacing before we can work, whether you supply the fixtures, and for renovations, how far drains and supply lines are moving.
Services covered
Plumbing leak detection and pipe repair
Hidden leaks traced from the signs: ceiling stains, damp drywall, a water meter that turns with every tap off. Plumbing pipe repair on leaking copper, PEX or Poly-B, from one failed fitting to a longer section, and we tell you if nearby pipe is at risk.
Fixtures and valves
Faucets, toilets, sinks, shower valves, dishwasher hookups, seized shut-offs and pressure-reducing valves, supplied and installed, or just installed if you've already bought the fixture.
Toilets, faucets & fixturesWater line replacement and repiping
Leaking, corroded or undersized supply lines inside the home replaced in PEX or copper and pressure-tested before walls or ceilings close. Whole-home repipes for Poly-B and Kitec.
Poly-B replacementRenovation plumbing
Bathroom and kitchen renovations from rough-in to finish: moving drains and supply lines, tub and shower valve rough-ins, then setting the toilet, vanity, tub, sink and faucets and testing everything.
New construction plumbing
Drain, vent and water supply rough-in laid out for inspection, then fixtures set and tested at finish. Gas lines can be run as part of the same build.
Plumbing service and maintenance
Aging shut-offs, worn fixtures, slow drips and other small problems found and fixed early, before they turn into water damage.
Outdoor plumbing system repair
Outdoor taps, hose bibs and exterior water lines on the house repaired, including lines that split over winter, and checked that they hold pressure.
Signs of a plumbing problem worth a call
- Water stains on a ceiling or wall, or damp drywall
- The water meter moves when every tap is off
- A jump in the water bill you can’t explain
- Banging pipes or a dripping relief valve on the water heater
- Damp cabinet floors or bulging supply lines under sinks
- Low pressure at one tap or across the house
Quick checks before you call
Safe things to look at yourself. They help us find the problem faster, and sometimes they save a call.
Read the water meter
Turn off every tap and anything that uses water, then watch the meter or its small leak indicator for 15 minutes or so. If it moves, water is going somewhere it shouldn’t.
Find your main shut-off
Know where it is before you need it, usually where the water line enters the house. If it's an old gate valve that won't turn, don't force it; that's a valve worth replacing.
Look under the sinks
Check for a damp cabinet floor, drips at the shut-offs, and braided supply lines that are rusty or bulging. Those lines fail without much warning.
Test the toilet
Put a few drops of food colouring in the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. Colour in the bowl means the flapper is leaking.
Check the relief valve
A water heater relief valve that drips can mean the house pressure is too high or the system needs an expansion tank.
Take photos
A photo of the leak, the pipe and any stains helps us quote and bring the right parts.

Questions, answered
How do you price plumbing work?
You get a fair, upfront price before any work starts, so you know the cost before we begin. If we find something else once we're in, we tell you and price it before doing it.
Are you licensed?
For gas, yes: we're a gas contractor licensed with Technical Safety BC (LGA0212697), and gas work is done under permit. Plumbing work is done to the BC Plumbing Code, under a plumbing permit where the municipality requires one.
Can you find a leak without opening the wall?
We narrow it down first, from stains, damp spots, the water meter and which fixtures are on that line, so the opening is as small as possible. Most hidden leaks still need some access to repair, and we tell you where before we cut.
Should I repair a leaking pipe or replace more of it?
One failed fitting on otherwise sound pipe is a repair. If the pipe is Poly-B or Kitec, or the copper is corroding in more than one spot, more leaks are likely, and we will tell you so you can decide.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. A dripping tap, a running toilet, a seized shut-off or a worn supply line is worth fixing before it causes water damage, and small jobs are worth booking together in one visit.
Do you do renovation plumbing?
Yes. We rough in drains, vents and supply lines for bathroom, kitchen and suite renovations, then come back to set the finished fixtures and test everything. Call before the walls close so the rough-in can be inspected.
What does a plumbing maintenance visit cover?
A check of your main shut-off, the shut-offs under sinks and toilets, water pressure, the water heater relief valve, and any visible supply lines for the early warning signs of a leak, like corrosion or a bulging line, before they fail.
