KC's Plumbing and Heating Ltd
Heating Services
When your heating system quits, problems happen. For personal health reasons you'll want your furnace, boiler or radiant heating system checked for building code compliance. Heating codes changed a few years ago and there are still a lot of furnaces with narrow exhaust pipes that need to be replaced to meet local exhaust code.



If you haven’t had any service work done on those systems recently, contact during office hours for an appointment. A well tuned system is more energy efficient and saves money on utility bills.



Schedule an inspection with one of our heating professionals to tune up your furnace or heat pump. Regular maintenance saves money and extends life of the unit. If a furnace or boiler replacement is needed, we handle professional installations as we are training constantly to keep up to date on innovations.
Many house boilers are used for in-floor radiant heat. This type of equipment requires regular service the same as any other large appliance. If you are thinking of replacing an old gas furnace or boiler there is a wide variety of high-efficiency models you could have installed. We work with all makes and models and will be happy to help you choose a compatible model. Keeping your home warm in winter is important, so knowing that your homes heating system is working helps you sleep better.

Water Heaters
Water heater maintenance is something that often gets pushed down the list of priorities. Whether you own a traditional tank type, an instant / on-demand, or tankless water heater, these units need regular service.



On-demand water heaters do not require as much maintenance as the old hot water tanks do, but they still do need plumbing repair services on occasion. So if you want to have your water heater looked at or a new furnace installation done, contact us to get one of our installers on-site. We are one of the top plumbing companies in Vancouver.



When we replace a hot water tank, or remove and replace the old one for hot water on-demand, code requirements will be met for current standards. All water heater repair work is done by licensed technicians for your assurance.
We always discuss your options to see which type of water heater will best suit your needs now.
Drains & Septic Systems
Whether your toilet backs up or you’ve got a wet basement, we are a preferred licensed plumbing contractor for tough plumbing and drain services. Perimeter drains should be power cleaned every two or three years with a water jetting system. For any construction projects needed sewer drain installation, we are your best choice and will be happy to discuss your project.
Drain repair services require an experienced plumber to find the leak. If drain tile replacement is the only solution, we are the plumbing company you'll want for that job. We install drain pipe that can last 50 years or more. We'll use a specialized camera to find the problem, saving you time and money by knowing exactly where the issue is.



Old pipes leading from your home to city sewers can clog up causing no end of trouble. To stay on top things, we recommend drain cleaning services every three years or so. Our plumbers are equipped to deal with clogged interior drains, slow flowing perimeter drains and city pipe connections.



When needed we use a video camera to pinpoint the issue so we can get right to the root of the problem. A sewer camera is a great diagnostic tool our plumbers use for clogged perimeter drains and sewer lines.

When you have a technical plumbing problem you can't handle, contact us for help and a licensed plumber is on the way. If you are facing a more serious problem call us right away for fast plumbing emergency services.
DIY Tips
You can handle simple things yourself like changing the furnace filter or flushing your hot water tank, but when it comes to the more technical work, let one of our local pro plumbers handle it for you. An annual maintenance plan for boilers and any large heating appliance is recommended for maximum efficiency and extended life.



We provide quality plumbing services an all work described above. Call us during office hours for free consultation.
n Case of Emergency


If you require emergency plumbing services, call the number above immediately. We will notify our closest plumber and get him on route to your home immediately. When you hire us to fix any plumbing issues you can expect courteous service. The work we offer is completed by a licensed technician.



When you need a licensed professional for any type of plumbing service you can expect a friendly voice when you call and an experienced plumber on the job. We understand that hiring a pro to fix something like frozen pipes, or a leaking pipe is not a typical thing for most people, so we do our best to make this a pleasant experience for you.



Specialty work like replacing old plumbing is another service we provide. Commonly referred to as repipe, this type of replacement work is extensive and requires someone on-site for an assessment. New pipe will help with water quality and pressure, taking unnecessary strain off the system.

Plumbing Systems
Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids. Waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications. The word derives from the Latin for lead, plumbum, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes. In the developed world, plumbing infrastructure is critical to public health and sanitation. Most work of this nature is performed by a journeyman plumber because of the difficulty and technical aspects. A good plumber is often recommended by someone you know.



Boilermakers and pipefitters are not plumbers although they work with piping as part of their trade and their work can include some work in the plumbing industry.



If there is a plumbing problem you cannot handle on your own, call us to schedule an appointment.

Unusual noises with your heating system can become problematic when it fails to work properly in the winter months. A wise man once said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" This is ever so true with modern central heating systems. With our heating and plumbing service plans your indoor comfort is assured year round.
Whether you are in need of furnace repair, electric or radiant heat servicing, it is always more cost efficient to have these appliances tuned up once a year to avoid unnecessary problems.



We offer maintenance programs for both residential plumbing and heating and commercial properties. Call and ask to set an appointment with one of our technicians. We will be happy to check your heating system and make sure it is operating at peak performance for the winter season.

Water Heater Services
When your old water heater is on its last legs and you know you'll need to replace it, call us for a consultation and we'll discuss the different makes and models on the market now. Modern tankless water heaters have a high level of energy efficiency now so you'll want to understand which type will be the best fit for your family. The newer electric water heaters are also highly efficient.



No matter what type of water heater you decide on, they typically last ten - twelve years. Tankless water heaters and boiler systems last up to fifteen years with regular maintenance and that's where we come in with our central heating services.
Whether you need regular maintenance for your hot water tank, or a replacement, we provide professional affordable service.
Call during office hours for a free consultation with one of our heating experts or to set up an appointment.

Furnaces
The majority of North American households depend on a central furnace heating to provide heat and good indoor air quality. A forced air furnace works by blowing heated air through ducts that deliver the warm air to rooms throughout the house via air registers or grills. These types of heating systems are called a ducted warm-air or forced warm-air distribution system. It can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or fuel oil.



For quality heating services such as furnace cleaning or replacing your old gas furnace, call us to ask about a furnace service call cost and advice on the best system for your needs. For new equipment, our remove and replace service comes with our standard work warranty.

Boilers
Boilers are a special-purpose hot water heater. While furnaces carry heat in warm air, boiler systems distribute the heat in hot water, which gives up heat as it passes through radiators or other devices in rooms throughout the house. The cooler water then returns to the boiler to be reheated. Hot water systems are often called hydronic systems. Residential boilers generally use natural gas or heating oil for fuel.



If you are looking for a boiler repair or heating maintenance contractor, we fit that role. Our reliable heating technicians stay up to date with technical innovations in the industry.



You can feel confident knowing your home will keep you warm during the winter months with proper functioning heating equipment. We are regarded as one of the top plumbing and heating companies in greater Vancouver. You are in good hands when we are working on your job or project.

Radiant Floor Heat
Radiant floor heating, or hydronic heat as some people prefer to call it, refers to floor heating systems that circulate warm water in tubes under the floor. This warms the floor, which in turn warms people using the room. It is highly controllable, considered efficient by its advocates, and is expensive to install. It also requires a very experienced system designer and installer, and limits carpet choices and other floor finishes: you don’t want to “blanket” your heat source.

If you require any non-emergency work done by our company, call for an appointment during office hours. We'll be happy to help. Our quality repair work has you covered with our labor warranty and excellent customer service.
If you have a less urgent tough clog problem, call us to schedule an appointment. We'll have one of our drain cleaning experts visit you to assess the problem. With decades of residential and commercial sewer drainage cleaning services, we are top notch drain cleaning contractors.

Drain Cleaning, Repair & Installation
Your home's outdoor drains are on the roof, in the yard and usually around the perimeter of your foundation. The basement has a floor drain and sewer lines connecting to city sewers. Clogged bathroom drains or a clogged kitchen drain, laundry room drains etc. needs occasional attention with drain pipe cleaning services. We are the best plumber for clogged drain.



Every component from roof-top to the drain tile around your foundation, needs to be free and clear of debris. A lot of us tend to forget about the perimeter drain systems because they're buried and out of sight, but not maintaining them can spell trouble.



If you have a slow drain issue you are unable to clear yourself, contact us during office hours to set up a day service appointment. One of our expert plumbers will take care of that as soon as possible.

Garburator Service
Another drain related appliance is the under sink food waste disposal unit, garbage disposal or garburator as a lot of us call it. If yours has stopped working due to a stubborn drain clog we can fix that. If you need a new one installed or the old one replaced, we are also experienced working with those units as well. One of our licensed plumbers will take care of the installation for you.

Commercial Drain Cleaning Services
Commercial drain cleaning is another service we offer. Chances of a foreign object, like paper towel stuck in a drain increase with use. If you manage commercial buildings, are a business owner, or simply need to talk to someone about drainage issues, call during office hours to speak to our business manager about our industrial drain cleaning services.



Commercial customers get top priority for our emergency drain cleaning services.

Perimeter Drain Cleaning
A dry basement depends on a good perimeter drain system. If your home’s outdoor drain tiles are getting old and developing drain clogs, there might be root intrusion, a broken pipe, or clogged with foreign objects, mud or silt. If that's happening you can expect water problems in your basement. That's when you want to order outside drain cleaning services. We are the right people to call for a clogged drain.



If you suspect any of the above we'll send one of our drain cleaning technicians to do a power flush "also know as" jet drain cleaning services. If video camera inspection is needed for any difficult drain blockages we have that equipment on hand. In any case you want to keep your basement dry with regular drain clearing.


Symptoms of Damaged Drain Tile
Damp or flooded basement
Tree root upheaval near foundations
Sump pump working overtime
Cracked or bulging walls
Foul odor


Employee training is on-going to provide you with the best drainage service possible. No-dig, burst-pipe technology allows us to replace old damaged drains and sewer line connections without disturbing your yard.

Vancouver Sewer Separation Work
Vancouver has been mailing out notices to local residents regarding the sewer separation program. The letter informs you that homeowners are responsible for the cost of sewer separation. Part of that work usually involves installing a sump pump to help repair water damage from clogged sewer drains.



We are listed as one of the preferred plumbing companies to hire for sewer separation repairs. If you have received your notice, call us to discuss the scope of work and we will prepare an offer for you.

Sewer Cleaning Services
Sewer lines start in the house and run out to the city sewers. These are one of the most difficult outdoor drain systems to replace which is why we recommend you maintain them to avoid unnecessary expense. Our maintenance plans include a wide range of reliable services including drain inspection. This is the best home protection plan you can have.

Septic Service
If you are rural and have a septic system, we can help you with that as well. We cover a wide range of plumbing issues including septic system maintenance.

Sump Pump
If you have a sump pump in the basement, it will need regular servicing to last as long as possible. Any large appliance like this is worth protecting with regular maintenance. Call us during office ours to set up an appointment.

Professional Drain Cleaning Service
We are experienced with every type of drain blockage imaginable. If you have not been to push a clog through the pipes yourself we'll take care of it for you.

A drain is the primary vessel or conduit for unwanted water or waste liquids to be flumed away, either to a more useful area, funneled into a receptacle, or run into sewers or storm-water mains as waste discharge to be released or processed.
Drain design and install parameters are engineered to ensure drain functionality for its intended purpose, allowing for variances in volume, matter to be conveyed and maintenance requirements. Drain installation takes into account principles related to gravity, vacuum, grade, human exposure safety to biological agents and resistance to functional failure. Also incorporated in drain design are requirements for drain maintenance and repair of a blocked drain.

DIY Drain Cleaning Solutions
A chemical drain cleaner may contain sodium hydroxide (lye and caustic soda). These types of drain cleaning products are highly corrosive and can burn eyes, skin and lungs. Long-term exposure may lead to ulceration of the nasal passages and chronic skin irritation, not to mention it is corrosive to plumbing pipes.



Prevention is the key to clean drains:



Use a drain basket or screen to keep hair and food scraps out.
Never pour grease down the drain. It can turn solid and clog pipes and sewer lines.


A plunger or plumber’s snake is a simple mechanical solution, or try this simple home remedy with food-grade ingredients. This technique works best when used regularly and after you’ve removed any large chunks from your drain.



½ cup baking soda
1 cup of vinegar
4 cups boiling water


Sprinkle baking soda down the drain lines. Pour in the vinegar and let it fizz for five to 10 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain. Beware of sodium hydroxide in disinfectants and oven, bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners.



If this fails to correct the problem and you need to take the next step, call us and we'll have one of our professional plumbers out there as soon as possible. We are considered one of the top drain cleaning companies in Vancouver. You can rely on our plumbing company for excellent results and reasonable rates.
