A Parksville plumber on a regular route
Parksville sits half an hour up the Island Highway from our Nanaimo shop, and Waywest plumbers work in Parksville and the surrounding Oceanside communities through the week. We have worked on commercial and institutional plumbing here too, including large-diameter piping at the Parksville arena.
What Parksville properties need
Seasonal and part-time homes. Many Oceanside homes sit empty for weeks at a time. A small leak nobody notices becomes a large one. We check shut-off valves, water heaters and supply lines before you leave, and leak detection finds anything hidden.
Wells in Errington and Coombs. Rural properties behind Parksville often run on private wells, with hardness, iron or bacteria to deal with. See water treatment.
Hot water tanks. Parksville's many 2000s-era homes have tanks at or past replacement age. See hot water tanks and tankless heaters.
Poly-B in older subdivisions. Homes from the late '70s to mid-'90s are candidates for Poly-B replacement.
Resorts, strata and restaurants. Commercial hot water, backflow testing and plumbing maintenance for waterfront businesses and complexes — see PropertyCare.
