    Had a pipe burst late at night last winter and it caught me completely off guard. Water everywhere, panic mode, and I ended up calling an emergency plumber without even thinking twice. They showed up fast, but the price definitely stung the next morning. Now I’m wondering if most people around Campbell River feel emergency calls are actually worth it, or if there are situations where it’s better to shut everything off and wait until regular hours.

    I’ve had mixed feelings, honestly, but one time it really paid off. Our basement drain backed up on a Sunday afternoon and there was no way it could wait. I checked local listings and called a couple places until someone answered and sounded calm about it. I found the Plumbers in Campbell River, BC page helpful because it showed who actually offers emergency service. Yeah, it cost more, but avoiding water damage probably saved us way more in the long run.

    Homeownership comes with a lot of split-second decisions you never expect to make. When something goes wrong, stress takes over and you’re just trying to limit damage as fast as possible. I’ve learned that knowing where your shut-off valves are and having a short contact list ready can make those moments less chaotic. Planning ahead doesn’t stop problems, but it does make the aftermath easier to handle.
