Whether you live in an older Burnaby home or manage a multi-unit building, our licensed plumbers deliver clean, efficient, and code-compliant re-piping solutions.

What Is Re-piping and Why Does It Matter?

Re-piping is the process of replacing all or most of the water supply pipes inside a building with modern piping materials. Unlike temporary repairs that address only isolated leaks, re-piping solves the root cause of plumbing failure — aging, deteriorating pipe systems.

Many Burnaby homes built before the 1990s still contain:

These materials are now known to fail prematurely, cause water contamination, and lead to hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings.

Burnaby Homes That Commonly Need Re-piping

Re-piping is especially common in:

If your property is 20+ years old, your plumbing system may already be past its intended lifespan.

Warning Signs You Need Re-piping

If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to consider re-piping your Burnaby property:

Frequent leaks in different areas of the home
Low or variable water pressure
Rusty, brown, or yellow-tinted water
Metallic taste or unpleasant water odor
Banging, rattling, or whistling pipes
Visible corrosion on exposed piping
Mold, damp drywall, or unexplained water stains
Rising water bills without increased usage

These symptoms often indicate system-wide pipe deterioration, not just a single failing section.

Re-piping vs Pipe Repair — What’s the Better Choice?

While pipe repairs can effectively address isolated issues like a single leak or a localized crack, repeated plumbing problems across your home usually indicate that your entire piping system is failing and reaching the end of its lifespan. In these cases, constant repairs are just a temporary fix for a much larger, underlying problem.

Pipe Repair Is Best When:

Re-piping eliminates the need for constant repairs and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Our Burnaby Re-piping Services

We offer comprehensive, full-service re-piping solutions that cover a wide range of needs. Our team is equipped to handle any re-piping project, large or small, from start to finish. Our services include:

Whole-House Re-piping

A complete replacement of all hot and cold water supply lines ensures a fully updated system, providing improved reliability and efficiency. This process involves replacing every pipe that carries hot or cold water throughout the property, addressing potential leaks and ensuring consistent water flow for all your needs.

Partial Re-piping

This targeted replacement service focuses on specific problem areas where issues have been identified, or allows for phased upgrades to your plumbing system. By concentrating on sections of the property that need the most immediate attention, we can address localized leaks or aging pipes in a more gradual, manageable way.

Poly-B Pipe Replacement

We specialize in the safe and complete removal of Poly-B piping, a material commonly found in homes throughout Burnaby that were constructed between the 1980s and 1990s. We’ll replace this outdated and often problematic piping with a more reliable, modern alternative.

Galvanized Pipe Replacement

We specialize in upgrading aging, rusted steel pipes that can severely restrict water flow throughout your property. Over time, these galvanized pipes corrode from the inside out, which not only causes low pressure but can also contaminate your water supply with rust and sediment.

Common Re-piping Issues We Fix

As your home’s plumbing system ages, certain warning signs indicate it may be time for a full repiping. Addressing these issues early can prevent costly repairs and ensure your home’s plumbing operates smoothly.

Recurring Leaks

Frequent leaks in different areas of your home signal that your plumbing system is deteriorating. Instead of patching one issue after another, re-piping provides a lasting solution, saving time and money in the long run.

Rusty or Discoloured Water

If your water appears brown, yellow, or rusty, it’s likely due to corroded pipes contaminating your water supply. Modernizing your plumbing with materials like copper ensures fresh, clean water for your household.

Low Water Pressure

Declining water pressure throughout your home can result from mineral buildup, corrosion, or pipe degradation. Repiping restores optimal flow, making daily activities like showering or doing laundry hassle-free.

Outdated or Unsafe Pipes

Homes with galvanized steel, lead, or polyethylene pipes face higher risks of corrosion, leaks, and health hazards. Upgrading to modern materials improves reliability and safety for your plumbing system.

Visible Signs of Corrosion

Rust, discolouration, or flaking on your exposed pipes are clear warning signs. These visible issues often indicate that the hidden pipes running through your walls and floors are also in poor condition.

Frequent Repairs

If you’ve been calling for plumbing repairs more often than usual, it may be time for a permanent fix. Repiping eliminates recurring issues, saving you from ongoing repair costs and inconvenience.

Inconsistent Water Temperatures

Do your water temperatures fluctuate when using multiple fixtures? Aging or improperly sized pipes may be the cause. Repiping stabilizes water flow and temperature for reliable performance.

Wet Spots or Water Damage

Damp areas on walls, ceilings, or floors often point to hidden leaks. Left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to costly structural damage. Repiping resolves the underlying issues, protecting your home.

Unexplained High Water Bills

A sudden increase in your water bill without visible leaks could indicate hidden pipe damage or inefficiency. Repiping reduces waste, ensuring an efficient and cost-effective plumbing system.
