Services

Every plumbing job, start to finish

From a dripping tap to a failed sewer main. We install it, service it, or replace it — one number, no subcontractor runaround.

01

Emergency plumbing

Burst pipes, flooding, sewage backup. We answer at any hour, isolate the problem fast, and stop the damage before it spreads.

02

Drain & sewer

Drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, camera inspection and line repair. We find the actual blockage instead of guessing at it.

03

Hot water tanks

Tank, tankless and heat-pump water heaters. Supply, install, repair and replace — usually the same day.

04

Heating & furnace

Furnaces, boilers, hydronic and radiant systems. Service, repair, and full replacement before the cold sets in.

05

Heat pumps & AC

Ductless mini-splits, central systems and heat pump conversions. Sized to the building, not to a sales target.

How it works

One price, in writing, before we start

You approve a number. That is the number on the invoice. We do not pad quotes to leave room for haggling, and we do not revise them upward halfway through.

01

Call us

Any hour. Describe what is happening and a licensed plumber tells you straight away whether it can wait.

02

We look

We attend, diagnose with proper tools, and find the cause rather than treating the symptom.

03

Fixed quote

A written scope and one fixed price. Approve it or don’t — there is nothing to negotiate.

04

Done and clean

We complete the work, tidy the site, walk you through it, and leave documentation behind.

Why Onex

A plumber, not a call centre

Onex is owner-operated. The person who quotes your job is accountable for it, and you have their number afterwards.

Straight answers

Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Nanaimo?

Yes. We take emergency calls around the clock across Nanaimo and mid-Vancouver Island, for homes, stratas and commercial buildings alike. Call (604) 338-8408 any time.

How much does a plumber cost?

It depends entirely on the job, which is why we quote before we start rather than after. You get one written price up front, and that is what you are invoiced. No hourly surprises and no extra line items for work that was always part of the job.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Licensed through Skilled Trades BC, carrying full liability insurance, and WorkSafeBC compliant. We are happy to send certificates before we attend.

Do you work on both houses and commercial buildings?

Both. Single-family homes, condos, rentals, strata buildings, retail units, schools and service stations — the same licensed crew handles all of it.

Can you replace a hot water tank the same day?

Usually yes. Tank, tankless and heat-pump water heaters from all major brands, with same-day replacement available in most cases when you call early.

How far do you travel?

Ladysmith through Qualicum Beach is standard coverage, including Gabriola Island. For larger projects and contract work we travel further up-Island — just ask when you call.

Do you take on strata and property management contracts?

Yes. We work with strata corporations and property managers on scheduled maintenance and priority dispatch, with consistent reporting and invoicing across every building in the portfolio.
