Plumbing in Errington

Does Norm's do plumbing in Errington?

Yes. We handle everyday repairs and bigger jobs alike: faucets, toilets, drains, tanks and water lines. Every job comes with our no-hassle warranty. Errington is one of the village centres of RDN Electoral Area F, with a general store, community centre and elementary school. Homes here come under the Regional District of Nanaimo, Electoral Area F. We cover Errington along with nearby Coombs and Parksville. The crew comes out from our Nanaimo shop on Boxwood Road.

Poly-B

Does my home have Poly-B piping?

Homes built from 1978 to 1995 often have it. Poly-B is a blue-grey plastic pipe that turns brittle and cracks from the inside out, often at joints and fittings. We've replaced Poly-B with PEX for over 20 years, usually in 1 to 3 days, with drywall repair and paint handled.

Permits

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Errington?

It depends on the job, and in Errington the local rules come from the Regional District of Nanaimo, Electoral Area F. The RDN Building Regulations Bylaw No. 1250 lists a Plumbing Permit among the permits it issues and counts plumbing inside a building as part of the building. Rebate and permit details checked October 21, 2026. Programs change, so we confirm at your quote.

Fixtures

Do you install toilets, faucets and showers?

Yes. We install and repair toilets and kitchen faucets, and do full bathroom renovations. We can also add a tankless water heater while we're there.

Water and sewer

Is your Errington home on well water or septic?

It's common here. Area F has part of the City of Parksville's community water system and several private water utilities, and new rural lots must show on site water and septic. Private domestic wells in RDN Electoral Areas A, B, C, E, F, G and H qualify for the RDN Well Water Testing Rebate. Without city water, the main valve in the house is your only shut-off. Find it now, not during a leak. Septic systems don't like grease or wipes, so keep both out of the drains.

Water lines

How do I know if my water line is leaking?

A soggy patch of lawn, falling pressure or a surprise water bill are the usual clues. We can test for it at the meter, and our own excavation crew digs and replaces the line if needed.
