Basic Plumbing Repairs & Fixture Swaps in Okanagan Falls

Some plumbing and electrical jobs are too small to bring in a full trade company, but still more than many homeowners want to tackle themselves. A dripping faucet, a running toilet or a dated fixture that needs swapping are good examples.

I'm Brad from ParkWorks Home Services. I handle basic plumbing repairs in Okanagan Falls and Penticton, along with simple fixture-level work. I keep this part of my service deliberately limited. When a job needs a licensed plumber or electrician, I'll tell you upfront and won't take it on.

Basic Plumbing Repairs in Okanagan Falls and Penticton

The plumbing jobs I help with are small fixes and like-for-like swaps, such as:

  • faucet replacement in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms
  • fixing dripping faucets and replacing worn cartridges
  • repairing running or loose toilets and replacing flappers and fill valves
  • replacing toilet seats and supply lines
  • clearing slow sink drains and replacing P-traps
  • installing new showerheads and hand showers
  • re-caulking sinks, tubs and showers to stop leaks

These minor plumbing repairs in Penticton and Okanagan Falls are often quick, which makes them a good fit to add to a visit for other jobs on your list.

Faucet Replacement in Penticton

Swapping an old faucet for a new one can change the look of a kitchen or bathroom in under an hour. For faucet replacement in Penticton and Okanagan Falls, I remove the old unit, clean the surface, install the new faucet with new supply lines and test it for leaks. You can buy your own faucet, or I can pick one up for you.

Fixture-Level Electrical Work

Electrical work in BC is regulated, and most electrical jobs must be done by a licensed electrical contractor. Any electrical work I offer will stay within what the rules allow. Where light fixture replacement in Penticton or ceiling fan installation isn't something I can do, I'll refer you to a licensed electrician.

What I can do in every case is the work around it. That includes patching and painting drywall after an electrician has been in, installing trim, mounting brackets and finishing the space so it looks complete.

When You Need a Licensed Trade

I'll recommend a licensed plumber or electrician for:

  • new plumbing lines, moving fixtures or water heater work
  • gas lines and gas appliances
  • new circuits, panels, outlets or wiring changes
  • anything that needs a permit or inspection
  • leaks inside walls or under floors

Being clear about this protects you and your home. Even if I can't do the main job, I'm happy to help you describe the problem so the right trade knows what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace my kitchen faucet?

In most cases, yes. Like-for-like faucet swaps are one of the most common small plumbing jobs I do.

Can you install a ceiling fan?

That depends on BC electrical rules and the existing wiring. I’ll tell you honestly, and point you to an electrician if needed.

Can you fix a running toilet?

Yes. Running toilets are usually a worn flapper or fill valve and are quick to fix.

What if you find a bigger problem?

I’ll stop, show you what I’ve found and recommend the right licensed trade.

Do you charge for small plumbing jobs separately?

No. They’re billed at the regular hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum, so it’s worth combining them with other jobs on your list.

Can I supply my own fixtures?

Yes. Just make sure the parts are complete, and I’ll check the fit before install day.
