Business Overview
K.A. Quinion is a family-owned and operated business serving Canaan, CT, and the Tri-State area with comprehensive plumbing, excavation, and septic services. Founded on decades of hands-on experience, our story began in the 1980s with our founder's work in landscaping and excavating, eventually earning his Connecticut and Massachusetts septic licenses. I grew up learning the trade and later completed formal training in plumbing and HVAC, working across industrial, commercial, and residential projects. After starting my own venture, I honored my father's legacy by integrating a septic pumper truck into our operations, allowing us to offer truly unified service. We understand every component of your property's systems, from the leaching fields underground to the roof vents above, providing reliable solutions for plumbing, drain, and septic emergencies with deep-rooted local knowledge.

Questions and Answers
My dishwasher is leaking in my Canaan home. Is this a plumbing issue you can fix?
Absolutely. Dishwasher leaks are a common local issue we handle. The problem often stems from a faulty connection, a worn supply line, or a clogged drain hose. As full-service plumbing contractors, we can diagnose the exact cause, whether it's under the sink or behind the appliance, and perform the necessary repair or installation to prevent water damage and restore proper function.
You offer both excavation and septic services. Does this help with septic system repairs?
Yes, it's a significant advantage. Many septic system issues, like a failed leaching field or a damaged tank, require careful excavation to access and repair. Because we handle all excavation work in-house with our own equipment, we can manage the entire repair process efficiently and cohesively. This integrated approach often results in a more streamlined project and can be more cost-effective than hiring separate contractors.
What does a typical plumbing inspection involve, and when should I consider one?
Our plumbing inspection is a thorough assessment of your water supply, drainage, and fixture systems. We check for leaks, corrosion, water pressure issues, drainage speed, and the condition of visible pipes. It's a good idea before buying an older home in Canaan, if you're experiencing recurrent clogs, or as preventative maintenance for aging systems. For homes with septic, we can also inspect the interior plumbing's connection to the overall waste system.
