Serving The Lower Mainland Since 1981
At Plumbr, we understand the importance of a safe and reliable water piping system for your home. Vancouver homes, especially those built or renovated in past decades, may have outdated plumbing systems prone to issues. Our team is here to help identify and solve water pipe problems with modern, long-lasting solutions.
Installed primarily in
the 1980s and 1990s, Poly-B pipes
were a popular choice for residential
plumbing due to their low cost and
ease of installation.
Why They Fail:
Poly-B pipes are
highly susceptible to deterioration
over time, particularly in areas with
high chlorine levels in the water.
Fittings and
connections are prone to cracking
and leaks, which can cause
significant water damage if not
addressed.
Our Solution:
We locate and
replace sections of Poly-B pipes
using modern piping solutions,
ensuring long-term reliability.
Durable and widely
used, copper pipes are found in
many Vancouver homes built before
the 1990s.
Why They Fail:
Over time, copper
pipes can corrode, especially in
areas with acidic or high-mineral-
content water. This can lead to
pinhole leaks.
Our Solution:
We patch or replace
corroded sections, depending on
the extent of the damage, and
advise on alternative materials if
needed.
PEX piping systems are
flexible, durable, and come with a
25-year warranty, making them a
top choice for plumbing upgrades.
Why We
Recommend It:
Resistant to scale
and chlorine, PEX piping doesn’t
corrode or develop pinhole leaks
like older materials.
Flexible installation
allows us to minimize drywall cutting
and disruption.
We inspect your home’s plumbing system to determine the extent of the issue. Whether it’s a single leak or a widespread problem, we tailor our approach to meet your needs.
For isolated leaks, we cut into the drywall, replace the damaged section of pipe, and seal the area for a seamless finish.
In homes with significant Poly-B or corroded copper piping, we recommend replacing larger sections or re- routing pipes for improved functionality and longevity. This involves: Strategic cutting and removal of outdated materials. Installation of modern PEX pipes with minimal disruption to your home.
After repairs, we provide professional patching services to ensure your walls look as good as new.
With decades of experience, we understand the unique plumbing challenges in the region.
We use only high-quality materials, like PEX piping, to ensure durability and peace of mind.
From start to finish, we prioritize clear communication, efficiency, and satisfaction.
