The Emergency Plumber Comox Valley Homes & Businesses Call First
Need an emergency plumber in Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, or Campbell River — someone licensed who’ll actually pick up and get there the same day? That’s Siegfried Plumbing & Gas. We handle urgent plumbing for homes and businesses right across the Comox Valley: burst and leaking pipes, water line breaks, failed hot water tanks, blocked and overflowing drains, no-heat gas problems, and gas-safety calls. Owner-operator John Siegfried is a Red Seal certified journeyman plumber and gas fitter with 25+ years in the trade, and he’s hands-on every job. Calls are answered seven days a week, 8am to 6pm, and same-day service is the standard when you call during those hours. Every job starts with a free estimate and a clear price before the work begins — so the only surprise is how fast it gets handled.
A plumbing emergency is really two problems at once: stopping the water (or making the gas safe) right now, and fixing the cause so you’re not back here next week. The moment you call, you get straightforward advice on what to do until help arrives, an honest ETA, and a licensed local plumber at your door. John finds where the trouble is really coming from — not just where it’s showing — gets the immediate problem under control, then quotes the full repair before going any further. All work is completed to BC Plumbing Code, and calls that come in after 6pm are returned first thing the next morning.
Plumbing Emergencies We Handle Same-Day
Burst Pipes, Leaks & Water Line Emergencies
Water coming in where it shouldn’t? These are the calls to make right away.
Burst or Leaking Pipe
A pipe that’s split, cracked, or leaking behind a wall, under the floor, or in the crawlspace. We track it down, stop the water, and repair or replace the run — copper, PEX, or a Poly-B upgrade.
Water Line Break / No Water
When the main water line fails or water stops coming in, we trace the line, find the break, and get your water flowing again.
Frozen Pipe
Common in garages and crawlspaces during a cold snap. We thaw it carefully to head off a rupture, then check for damage once it’s flowing again.
Hot Water & Drain Emergencies
A leaking tank or a backed-up drain doesn’t wait — and neither do we.
Leaking or Failed Hot Water Tank
When the tank itself is leaking or has quit on you, that’s usually a same-day hot water tank replacement. We carry common sizes and can swap gas, propane, or electric tanks.
Blocked or Overflowing Drain or Toilet
A sink, tub, or toilet pushing water the wrong way. We clear the blockage and check for the cause so it doesn’t come straight back.
Gas Safety & No-Heat Emergencies
Smell gas, or no heat on a cold day? Safety first — then we fix it.
Gas Smell or Suspected Gas Leak
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and call the gas utility first; once they’ve made the service safe, call us to find and repair the source. John is a licensed gas fitter.
No Heat From a Gas Furnace or Appliance
When a gas furnace or heater quits on the coldest day of the year, we troubleshoot the gas-side components and get the heat back on.
What to Do While You Wait — and What Happens When You Call
A few things that protect your home while you wait:
Shut off the water. Close the main shut-off valve — usually in the basement, crawlspace, or near the meter. For a single fixture, use the local valve under the sink or behind the toilet.
For a gas smell, leave the home first. Don’t flip switches or light anything. Call the gas utility’s emergency line from outside, then call us.
For a leaking hot water tank, close the cold water valve at the top of the tank (and the gas shut-off on the supply line if it’s a gas tank).
Move valuables clear of the water and take a few photos for your insurance.
When you call, you tell us what’s going on, and we walk you through what to do right now to contain it — plus an honest ETA, so you’re not left guessing. A licensed plumber arrives, finds the real source, and gets the immediate problem under control first. Then you get the full repair quoted before we go any further — so you always know the price before the work.
