Emergency Plumbing in North Vancouver

The single most useful thing you can do between noticing a leak and a plumber arriving is close the main shut-off valve. It turns an expensive problem into a contained one, and it is worth finding and labelling that valve now rather than hunting for it during a flood.

A North Van hillside leak can travel a long way down through a house before it appears, so the stain is rarely under the actual failure.

Then call. We answer at 2am with a person, and we will talk you through what to do while a technician is dispatched to North Vancouver.

After the water is off we cut back to sound pipe and make a permanent repair rather than clamping over a split, pressure-test it, and give you photographs and a written description of the failure for your insurer.

About North Vancouver Homes

Why North Vancouver Gets These Calls

The North Shore is mixed. Lower Lonsdale and parts of Capilano are older, while a great deal of Lynn Valley and the upper slopes filled in through the Poly B years.

North Vancouver takes more rain than anywhere else in Metro Vancouver, and the steep lots mean perimeter drainage and sump pumps work hard every winter.

FAQs

Emergency Plumbing in North Vancouver — Questions

Shut off the main water valve — clockwise until it stops. If water is anywhere near electrical fittings and you can reach the breaker safely and dry, kill the power to that area. Photograph everything before you clean up, because your insurer will want to see it. Then call us. Do not start cutting into walls.
In most North Vancouver homes it is where the water service enters the building — a crawlspace, a garage, a utility room, or near the hot water tank. If you genuinely cannot find it, the municipality (City or District of North Vancouver, depending on your address) can shut off at the street.
There is an after-hours rate and we tell you what it is on the phone before we dispatch. Membership customers do not pay an emergency premium at all.
Plumber first, to stop the water — that is the part that gets more expensive by the minute. Call your insurer straight after. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to limit the damage, which is exactly what shutting it off and calling a licensed plumber is.
Two things dominate. Aging supply pipe — a large share of our emergency calls are Poly B failures, which happen suddenly and inside walls. And cold snaps, which find every uninsulated crawlspace run and every hose left attached to an outdoor tap.
