Whole-Home Repiping in North Vancouver
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.
Steep North Van lots often mean multi-level homes with long vertical runs, which is worth planning around before the first wall is opened.
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 →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.
