My Plumber Kelowna Burst Pipe Repair
A burst pipe is one of those things that you should never delay in fixing. When you notice or suspect a burst or cracked pipe at your homes, immediately call us at My Plumber Kelowna. We send our technicians all across Greater Kelowna to inspect and repair all types of leakage issues. They will reach your homes or offices as soon as possible, and take the best measures to ensure safety or your property.
What can a burst pipe do?
Burst pipes, depending on where they are located, can be either moderately or highly dangerous. In the best case, they will cause leakage and cause high water bills. At their worst, they can flood your property, and even the neighbouring areas. Some of the most common problems that result from burst pipes include:
- Moulds growing on walls and ceilings, leading to unhealthy air circulation, and weakling of walls and basements.
- They cause strain on other parts of your plumbing system, which can later lead to bigger damages.
- Reduced pressure on the water outlets
- Limits the efficiency of your water supply
Our technicians will make sure that a single burst pipe does not cause some or all of the above problems. They are trained and licensed to find burst pipes, even if they are hidden deep inside. They will efficiently replace them without having to chip through your walls completely. We will make sure your burst pipes are removed and replaced safely. More importantly, the new ones will last for decades.
You can also call us ahead of seeing any signs of burst pipes, so that we can inspect your plumbing system, and make sure that there are no pipes that are likely to burst anytime soon.

Why do pipes burst?
There could be many causes for burst pipes, but in the Metro Kelowna area, the most common cause is freezing, due to the cold weather. When water in the pipes turns to ice, it expands, causing a lot of strain on the metal pipes. If the pressure is strong enough, they will eventually develop cracks and burst.
Old pipes are also more prone to bursting if they are more than 10 years old. Most likely, the seals will have worn out, and they cause the pipes to develop cracks, and even burst if the pressure is too high. Plastic pipes are also prone to bursting because they react with the chlorine in your water supply, and this gradually weakens their walls. This is why it is important that you get your old pipes checked routinely, even if they have shown no signs of bursting yet.
Another very common cause of bursting of pipes that we have experienced with our customers in Greater Kelowna is, the roots of trees growing into the underground pipes. Weeds and roots of trees that grow here are extremely strong, and they can cause even metal pipes to strain and eventually burst.
Where do burst pipes normally occur?
In our experience at My Plumber Kelowna, burst pipes occur most commonly in areas where the piping is hidden from the open air.
- Pipes deep inside walls
- Under your property, and in the drainage systems
- Pipes in the attic, where there is very little air flow
Burst pipes are also most common during winters, when there is heavy snow, and when the water flow is slower.
How to tell a burst pipe?
We strongly believe that the best time to fix a burst pipe is, before it bursts. However, it is not always possible to tell when a pipe could potentially burst. Here are some signs that can tell you whether you need to call My Plumber Kelowna:
- You can hear running water, even when all the faucets are closed (this may also be a sign of ice melting)
- Water dripping from your walls and ceiling
- Excessive moulds appearing on your ceiling and walls.
- Higher water bills than usual
All of the above are most likely caused by burst pipes, so we encourage you to contact us immediately, without any delay. If you live in and around the Metro Kelowna area, we will be able to reach you within 2 hours.
Preventing burst pipes
Just because burst pipes are common in this region, does not mean that you cannot prevent them from happening in the first place.
Here are some tips to prevent them:
- Make sure as much of your piping is exposed to circulating air, so that it will receive as much warmth as possible
- During winters, keep your facets open just a little bit, so they can drip as flowing water will not freeze, and cause the pipe to burst.
- Protect your pipes with insulated sleeves, so they get some degree of warmth
- Leave your cabinet and attic doors open, when you leave home for more than 2 days, so that the pipes receive warmth from the air
A burst pipe requires immediate action from property owners, so call us right away when you see any signs of it. We promise you that we will act on it immediately, and fix the pipe before it causes more serious damage to your home or outdoors.

“I had an exceptional experience with Dave after my hot water tank failed. He did an excellent job at a competitive price. Very happy and will work with him again anytime i need plumbing services.”
“I was very happy with the work that Dave did installing a water filtration system in our home. He was methodical and detailed with his installation. More importantly he was prompt with his responses and communication. I would highly recommend Dave for any of your plumbing needs!”
“We had intermittent low pressure in the house and Dave identified the problem within a few minutes. The fix took a couple hours and he moved the pressure reducer so the outside pressure is higher and inside is perfect. Cost came in at the estimated price. Definitely would hire again.”
“Dave SAVED us today with a huge clog in our kitchen sink! He was so quick to come help us, very genuine and kind. I really appreciate his hard work and he was great to chat with, we especially bonded talking about dogs! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Dave for your plumbing needs! Thanks again! You’re the best!”
“Exceptional service, super friendly, quick to respond! Popped by to take a look at my faucet, provided great advice, ordered the part, was fixed in less then 24 hours! Highly recommended!”
“Dave, came in on the same day I called for him to look at our washing mashing/dryer. Gave us all the information we needed that was helpful and saved us a lot of money. 10/10 recommended and definitely will be using his services again”
“I called the company in the morning and Dave was at my place at 2:30pm. My kitchen sink was clogged and I had a leak (due to the clog). Took him about an hour to get to the root cause of the problem, unclog it, change the strainer, etc. Dave is very professional, kind and respectful.
I’ll be honest, I expected the charge to be around $200-$300 (I paid $397) but I’m happy with the service quality and the fact that he accommodated me the same day. Will use this plumber again in the future if needed. Thank you Dave!”
“Dave was great! We had an issue on a Saturday and he was there within the hour and fixed the problem right away! He also provided some useful suggestions on how to avoid the issue in the future. I’ve used Dave several times now and he has been great each time. Thoughtful, caring and a genuine nice guy! Highly recommend!”
“Great service! Came in and fixed my fully clogged kitchen sink as soon as they could. Very reliable and professional.”
“My Plumber was able to fit us in on a Saturday and took care of a leaky hose bib. He was very professional, knowledgeable and charged a fair price. We will definitely call him again for any plumbing needs.”
