BIG NEWS: Plumbing just got greener. 🌿🚰
We are thrilled to announce a revolution in home infrastructure. Starting today, we’re transitioning all installations to our new Bio-Degradable PEX.
Engineered from organic plant fibers, this cutting-edge piping is designed to naturally return to the earth, breaking down into compostable soil within 5–10 years. No more "forever plastics" in your walls—just high-performance plumbing that knows when its time is up.
We’re proud to be on the cutting edge of sustainability for our loyal customers. Welcome to the future of the eco-home!

(April Fools!)

A conversation about a neighbour’s home sale led to an unexpected discovery.

This Victoria homeowner learned her house had Poly-B plumbing- something many homes built in the late 80s and 90s still have behind the walls.

In this short video, she shares why she decided to replace it and what the process was like.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually inside your home’s plumbing system, her story might sound familiar.

This week, Ian and Kyle got to harness up and take the scissor lift for a spin, helping out our friends at SuperTech Auto Repair. We’re installing 2 large gas powered space heaters into their new location on Burnside Rd and Dunedin St.

Supertech has done awesome work on our Thunderbird vans, so we were glad to return the favour and set their space up to keep their mechanics warm while they work. 🔧🔥

The Warning Signs of Cold Weather Plumbing Failures

As temperatures drop across Greater Victoria, plumbing systems face increased stress that can lead to sudden and costly failures.

Recognizing the early warning signs of cold weather plumbing problems can help homeowners and strata managers avoid emergency repairs and water damage.

Common warning signs include:

✔️ Reduced water pressure, often caused by pipe contraction or developing leaks

✔️ Slow or gurgling drains that signal blockages worsened by colder temperatures

✔️ Unexplained increases in water bills, pointing to hidden leaks

✔️ Banging, knocking, or whistling noises in pipes as materials expand and contract

✔️ Inconsistent hot water or moisture around the base of your hot water tank, indicating possible failure

Outdoor fixtures and exposed piping are especially vulnerable during cold nights, where small cracks can quickly lead to burst pipes and flooding.

Don't ignore these common warning signs of a cold weather plumbing problem! Thunderbird's plumbers are just a call away. Thunderbird Plumbing proudly serves Greater Victoria, including Oak Bay, Colwood, and Saanich, providing 5-star rated cold-weather plumbing inspections and repairs. When urgent plumbing problems arise, our team offers same-day responses to restore comfort and protect your property.
