SERVICES & SCOPE
What plumbing services does Quarter Turn Plumbing offer in Port Alberni? We handle the full range of residential and light-commercial plumbing in Port Alberni and across Vancouver Island — including drain clearing, leak detection and repair, fixture installation, water heater replacement, pipe re-routes, and bathroom or kitchen rough-ins. Not sure if your job qualifies? Call us and we'll tell you straight.
Does Quarter Turn Plumbing offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Port Alberni? Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service across Port Alberni and central Vancouver Island for burst pipes, sewage backups, no hot water, and active flooding. Emergency calls are dispatched the same day, often within the hour. A dispatch fee applies after hours, quoted before we send anyone out.
Do you work on older homes with outdated plumbing systems? Absolutely. We work with galvanized, copper, ABS, PVC, and cast-iron systems. Old homes are often our bread and butter. If we find something that needs a code-compliant upgrade, we'll walk you through the options with no pressure.
02
PRICING & ESTIMATES
How does Quarter Turn Plumbing price their services? We charge a flat service-call fee to show up and diagnose. From there, most standard jobs are quoted upfront as a flat rate so you know the total before we start. Larger or multi-day projects receive a written quote before work begins. No surprises on the invoice.
Can I get a free plumbing estimate in Port Alberni before you come out? For straightforward jobs — faucet replacement, toilet installation, water heater swap. We can often give a ballpark estimate over the phone. Jobs involving hidden pipes, drainage, or renovation work require an on-site visit for an accurate number. The diagnostic visit is billed at our standard service-call rate.
Are there hidden fees with Quarter Turn Plumbing? No. The price we quote is the price you pay, assuming the scope doesn't change. If we open a wall and find additional damage, we stop, show you, and get your approval before doing anything extra. We don't add materials markups without telling you.
03
SCHEDULING & AVAILIBILITY
How quickly can Quarter Turn Plumbing schedule a visit in Port Alberni? Non-urgent jobs are typically booked 1–3 business days out. We offer morning and afternoon windows and provide a tighter arrival estimate the day before. For emergencies, we aim for same-day plumbing response. Call us directly for fastest dispatch.
Does Quarter Turn Plumbing offer weekend or after-hours appointments? Yes we take weekend plumbing calls for both emergencies and scheduled work. After-hours and weekend appointments carry a modest premium, confirmed when you book. We'd rather be upfront about that than have you surprised on the invoice.
04
WARRENTY & GUARUNTEES
Does Quarter Turn Plumbing guarantee their work? Yes. All labour is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty. If something we repaired fails due to our work within that period, we return and fix it at no charge. Parts and fixtures carry the manufacturer's warranty, which we document for you at job completion.
05

06
