Emergency Plumbing Questions
Do you offer emergency plumbing service?

Because emergency availability can depend on scheduling and technician availability, the safest website wording is: Emergency calls are prioritized daily. Call directly for the fastest response. Only say 24/7 emergency service if the client confirms they truly answer and dispatch 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency usually includes any issue that can cause water damage, safety concerns, or loss of essential plumbing service.
Common emergencies include:
- Burst pipes
- Active water leaks
- Flooding
- Sewer backups
- Overflowing toilets
- No hot water
- Failed sump pumps
- Major drain backups
- Leaking water heaters
- Urgent strata plumbing issues
If water is actively leaking or causing damage, call as soon as possible.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
If it is safe to do so:
- Turn off the nearest fixture shut-off valve.
- If water is spreading, turn off the main water supply.
- Move valuables away from the affected area.
- Avoid using affected sinks, toilets, tubs, or drains.
- Take photos of the issue if it is safe.
- Call or text Burke Mountain Plumbing & Heating with your location and a short description of the problem.

Can you repair leaking pipes?
Yes. We repair leaking pipes in homes, townhomes, strata buildings, and businesses.
A leaking pipe should be checked quickly because even a small leak can lead to water damage, mould concerns, damaged drywall, flooring issues, or higher utility costs.
We can inspect the issue, identify the source of the leak, and recommend the best repair option.
Do you repair toilets and faucets?
Yes. We repair and replace toilets, faucets, shower fixtures, tub faucets, and related plumbing components.
Common issues include:
- Running toilets
- Clogged toilets
- Loose or leaking faucets
- Low water pressure
- Dripping taps
- Faulty shut-off valves
- Worn cartridges
- Leaking supply lines
Do you offer drain cleaning?

Common drain issues include:
- Slow kitchen sinks
- Clogged bathroom sinks
- Shower and bathtub backups
- Floor drain issues
- Main drain backups

If a clog keeps coming back, we may recommend further inspection to identify the underlying cause.
Do you offer repiping or pipe replacement?
Yes. We can help with pipe replacement and repiping when plumbing lines are old, leaking, corroded, damaged, or no longer performing properly.
This can be especially relevant for older homes, renovation projects, strata buildings, and properties with recurring leaks or water pressure issues.
04.
Water Heater Questions
Do you repair water heaters?
Yes. We repair many common water heater issues, including no hot water, inconsistent hot water, leaking tanks, strange noises, pilot or ignition issues, and performance problems.
If the water heater is older or badly damaged, we may recommend replacement instead of repair.
Do you install new hot water tanks?
Yes. We install and replace hot water tanks for homes, townhomes, strata properties, and businesses.
A replacement may be recommended if your tank is leaking, unreliable, too small for your household, past its expected service life, or no longer cost-effective to repair.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes. We provide tankless water heater installation and service.
Tankless systems can be a good option for homeowners who want improved efficiency, space savings, and on-demand hot water. The right system depends on household size, gas supply, venting requirements, budget, and hot water demand.
How do I know if my water heater should be repaired or replaced?
A repair may make sense if the unit is newer and the issue is minor.
Replacement may be better if:
- The tank is leaking
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- Hot water runs out too quickly
- The unit is old or inefficient
- The repair cost is too high compared with replacement
- You want to upgrade to a high-efficiency or tankless system
A technician can inspect the system and explain your options.
05.
Heating Questions
Do you repair heating systems?
Yes. Burke Mountain Plumbing & Heating provides heating service and repair for local homes and businesses.
Heating services may include furnace service, boiler repair, radiant heating, hydronic heating, and fireplace-related service depending on the system and issue.
Do you service boilers and radiant heating systems?
Yes. We service boiler, radiant, and hydronic heating systems.
These systems are common in many homes and properties throughout the Tri-Cities. If you notice uneven heating, strange noises, pressure issues, leaks, or poor performance, it is best to have the system inspected.
Do you repair fireplaces?
Yes. Fireplace service is listed as part of Burke Mountain Plumbing & Heating’s heating services.
For fireplace issues, contact the team and describe the type of fireplace, symptoms, and any error codes or ignition problems.
06.
Gas Fitting Questions
Do you provide gas fitting services?
Yes. Burke Mountain Plumbing & Heating provides gas fitting services for local homes and businesses.
Gas services may include gas line work, gas appliance connections, BBQ box installation, gas appliance installation, gas alterations, and gas leak-related service where appropriate.
Because gas work is regulated, it should always be handled by a qualified gas fitter.
Can you install gas lines for appliances?
Yes. We can help with gas line installation or hook-up for gas appliances, depending on the appliance, property setup, permitting requirements, and gas supply capacity.
Examples may include:
- Gas ranges
- Gas dryers
- BBQ connections
- Outdoor gas appliances
- Fireplaces
- Other approved gas appliances
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas, leave the area immediately and avoid turning electrical switches, appliances, or ignition sources on or off.
Call your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Do not try to diagnose or repair a gas leak yourself.
After the immediate safety concern is handled, a qualified gas fitter can inspect and repair the issue as needed.
