Frequently Asked Questions

At Gator Plumbing & Drainage, we believe an informed homeowner is a protected homeowner. Below are the most common questions we receive about our services across the Lower Mainland.

Repair costs vary based on the issue, but at Gator Plumbing & Drainage, we believe in transparent, upfront flat-rate pricing. Whether it’s a leaky faucet in Vancouver or a burst pipe in Surrey, we assess the problem on-site and provide a clear quote before any work begins—no hidden hourly fees.

While we can perform emergency patch repairs on leaking Poly-B (polybutylene) pipes, it is often a temporary fix. Because Poly-B is prone to sudden, catastrophic failures, most BC insurance companies require a full repipe to PEX or copper. We can fix the immediate leak and guide you on the safest long-term solution.
First, immediately locate and shut off your main water valve to prevent further water damage. Then, call our 24/7 emergency plumbing repair line. We dispatch licensed plumbers across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland with an average 60-minute response time to repair burst or frozen pipes safely.

Not always! We utilize advanced, non-invasive leak detection technology, such as thermal imaging and acoustic sensors, to pinpoint the exact location of the leak behind your walls or under your floors. This allows us to make surgical repairs with minimal damage to your BC home.

Sudden low water pressure can be caused by a failing pressure reducing valve (PRV), a hidden leak, or mineral buildup in older galvanized pipes common in Vancouver homes. Our expert plumbers can quickly diagnose the root cause and repair or replace the faulty components to restore full water flow.
Yes. A single running toilet or dripping faucet can waste tens of thousands of liters of water annually, leading to shockingly high metered utility bills in the Lower Mainland. It can also be a symptom of dangerously high water pressure that could damage your other appliances if left unrepaired.
Many common water heater issues—such as a faulty thermocouple, broken heating element, or pilot light issue—can be repaired quickly and affordably. If your tank is under 10 years old and structurally sound, our technicians will focus on repairing it rather than pushing for a premature replacement.
Generally, simple repairs like fixing a leak, unclogging a drain, or replacing a faucet cartridge do not require a permit in BC. However, if the repair involves moving plumbing lines or replacing major sections of drainage, a permit may be needed. We ensure all our repair work is 100% BC Building Code compliant.
Watch out for multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from your toilets, sewage odors in your yard, or unexpected lush green patches on your lawn. Older homes in the Lower Mainland often suffer from tree root intrusion in their sewer lines, which we can diagnose with a high-definition camera inspection and repair efficiently.

Absolutely. Every technician at Gator Plumbing & Drainage is fully licensed by the Province of BC, insured, and WorkSafeBC compliant. Whether we are fixing a minor sink leak or repairing a major main water line, your property is fully protected and in expert hands.
