Whole-Home Repiping in Burnaby
When the supply plumbing reaches the end of its life, patching it one leak at a time stops making sense. We replace the whole system in PEX-A or copper.
When the supply plumbing reaches the end of its life, patching it one leak at a time stops making sense. We replace the whole system in PEX-A or copper.
The clearest signal is repetition. One leak is an event; three in two years is a system telling you it is finished. Other markers: the plumbing is Poly B or more than fifty years old, pressure has been falling across the whole house rather than at one fixture, or the water discolours after sitting overnight.
Burnaby hillside homes often run supply through long under-house spaces, which is good news for a repipe — accessible routes mean fewer wall openings.
We install PEX-A as standard. It is flexible enough to follow existing cavities, which means fewer openings in your walls, it does not corrode, it handles a freeze far better than copper, and its expansion fittings avoid the plastic insert design that made Poly B joints so unreliable. We fit copper whenever a homeowner wants it.
The difference between a repipe you barely notice and one you never stop talking about is planning — so we map every run and agree exactly which openings we will make before anyone picks up a tool.

How repiping works →Burnaby is split down the middle. The postwar bungalows in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill mostly predate Poly B, while the enormous wave of townhomes and low-rise condos built around Metrotown, Brentwood and Edmonds through the 1980s and early 90s lands right inside the window.
A lot of Burnaby sits on a slope, so supply runs cross unheated crawlspaces and under-house areas more often than people expect.
