A failing hot water tank can turn a normal day into a frustrating one quickly. Courtenay Plumber helps homeowners in Courtenay and across the Comox Valley deal with leaking tanks, inconsistent hot water, aging equipment, and planned replacements. Our focus is simple: figure out what makes sense for your home, explain the options clearly, and complete the work carefully.
We work on residential hot water tank installation, hot water tank repair, and water heater replacement. Whether your existing unit has stopped working or you are planning ahead before an older tank fails, we can help you choose a practical next step.
Courtenay Plumber grew out of years of residential plumbing work around the Comox Valley. Founder Mark Ellison started the company after seeing how often homeowners were left trying to sort through confusing advice when a hot water tank failed. He wanted to build a smaller, locally focused service where customers could get a clear explanation of the problem and a sensible recommendation without unnecessary complication.
Mark works alongside service plumber Liam Fraser, who grew up in the Valley and has spent much of his plumbing career working in older Courtenay homes, newer subdivisions, rural properties, and coastal communities. Office coordinator Jenna Reid handles scheduling and keeps customers informed about appointment details. Together, the team focuses on reliable communication, clean work areas, and solutions that fit the home rather than pushing the same option on every customer.

Yes. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is often required because the storage vessel is generally not a repairable component. We can assess the source of the water before recommending the next step.
Yes. We install replacement hot water tanks and can help determine an appropriate size and setup for the household and existing plumbing.
Yes. Some hot water problems come from replaceable components rather than the tank itself. We can troubleshoot the issue and discuss repair when it is reasonable.
We serve Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Royston, Union Bay, Black Creek, Merville, Fanny Bay, Denman Island, and Hornby Island. Scheduling and travel requirements can vary for rural and island properties.
Planning ahead can make sense when a tank is older, showing signs of deterioration, or located where a leak could cause significant damage. A proactive replacement also gives you more time to compare options instead of making the decision during a failure.
