Permits

Who issues permits for plumbing work in Nanoose Bay?

It depends on the job, and in Nanoose Bay the local rules come from the Regional District of Nanaimo, Electoral Area E. 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.

Buying a home

Can you inspect the plumbing before I buy a home?

Yes. A camera look at the drains and a check of the plumbing and heating can save surprises after you move in.

Water and sewer

Is your Nanoose Bay home on well water or septic?

Many are. Groundwater is the main water source in Nanoose Bay, through individual wells, private water utilities and community water systems, including the RDN Nanoose Bay Peninsula water service area, which is topped up with Englishman River water. Septic systems are the most common wastewater method; the Fairwinds area is on RDN community sewer. 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.

Drains

Why do my drains keep clogging?

Grease, hair, soap and roots are behind most repeat clogs. We clear the drain all the way through, and use a camera when a clog keeps coming back.

Norm's plumbing was incredible. We called 2 other local companies and Norm's charged less than half of the other 2. Not only were they great price wise, but their service was fast efficient and communication was clear, kind and much appreciated!
