Residential Plumbing Services in Vancouver
Vancouver homes – from heritage character houses in Shaughnessy to modern condos in Yaletown – each present unique plumbing challenges. Many older Vancouver properties still have galvanized steel or Poly-B piping that is prone to corrosion and bursting. Our residential plumbers in Vancouver specialize in the following services:
Plumbing Repair
Dealing with a leaky faucet, running toilet, dripping pipe, or a fixture that won’t stop malfunctioning? Our Vancouver plumbers diagnose and fix residential plumbing problems quickly and accurately. We carry a full inventory of replacement parts, so most plumbing repairs are completed in a single visit – saving you time and avoiding repeat service calls. Whether it’s a minor drip under the kitchen sink or a persistent toilet leak wasting hundreds of litres per month, we provide lasting repairs backed by our workmanship warranty.
Plumbing Installation & Replacement
Upgrading your home’s plumbing fixtures improves both function and water efficiency. Our licensed plumbers install and replace sinks, bathtubs, showers, faucets, garbage disposals, dishwasher connections, and laundry hookups throughout Vancouver homes. We work with all major brands and ensure every installation meets current BC plumbing code requirements. Whether you’re renovating a bathroom in Kerrisdale or adding a utility sink in your Mount Pleasant basement, we handle the entire job from shut-off to final testing.
Poly-B Pipe Replacement
Poly-B (polybutylene) piping was installed in thousands of Vancouver homes built between the 1970s and 1990s. This grey plastic piping is now known to deteriorate from the inside out, leading to pinhole leaks, burst connections, and costly water damage – often without warning. Gator Plumbing specializes in full and partial Poly-B re-piping, replacing outdated Poly-B with modern, durable PEX or copper piping. If your Vancouver home was built during this era, we recommend a plumbing inspection to assess your Poly-B risk before a failure occurs.
Leak Detection & Pipe Repairs
Hidden water leaks can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage to Vancouver homes before they’re even noticed. Our plumbers use advanced non-invasive leak detection technology – including acoustic sensors and thermal imaging – to locate leaks behind walls, under floors, and within slab foundations without unnecessary demolition. Once located, we provide expert pipe repairs using durable materials that meet BC plumbing code. Vancouver’s mix of aging galvanized pipes in heritage homes and newer Poly-B piping means leak detection is a service our plumbers perform regularly across every neighborhood.
Toilet & Faucet Installation
A new toilet or faucet does more than update the look of your bathroom or kitchen – it can significantly reduce your water consumption and lower your utility bills. Our Vancouver plumbers install modern, water-efficient toilets (including low-flow and dual-flush models), kitchen and bathroom faucets, touchless fixtures, and shut-off valves that meet all current BC plumbing code requirements. We handle the full installation process, including removal of your old fixture, connection to existing supply lines, proper sealing, and a thorough leak test before we leave.
Drain Cleaning & Clogged Drain Services
Clogged or slow drains are a common issue in Vancouver homes. Whether it’s a blocked kitchen sink, shower drain, or main sewer line, our licensed plumbers provide fast and effective drain cleaning. We use professional equipment, including drain snakes and hydro-jetting, to remove grease, debris, and buildup safely without damaging your pipes. If recurring clogs are an issue, we can also perform a camera inspection to identify the root cause and prevent future backups.
Whether it’s a quick repair or a complete bathroom plumbing renovation, our Vancouver plumbers get the job done right the first time. Call 604-653-7309 to schedule your residential plumbing service today.

We service traditional tank-style water heaters, tankless (on-demand) systems, and hybrid heat pump units. When repair isn’t cost-effective, we provide same-day water heater replacement with top brands including Navien, Bradford White, and Rheem – professionally installed to current BC code standards.

Vancouver’s Unique Plumbing Challenges
Vancouver’s diverse housing stock creates plumbing challenges that require local expertise. Heritage homes built before the 1960s often have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that corrode and restrict water flow over time. Properties constructed between the 1970s and 1990s frequently contain Poly-B piping, which is known for premature failure and is a leading cause of water damage claims in BC. Modern high-rise condos in Coal Harbour and Yaletown have complex multi-story plumbing systems that demand specialized knowledge.
Vancouver’s heavy rainfall and lush tree canopy also contribute to seasonal plumbing concerns, including root intrusion into sewer lines and increased demand for sump pump and drainage services in Vancouver during the wet months. All of our plumbing work is performed in full compliance with the BC Plumbing Code and City of Vancouver bylaws, ensuring safe, code-compliant results every time.
