Whole-Home Repiping in West 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.
Repiping a large West Vancouver home is a bigger project than the regional average simply because of the run lengths and the number of fixtures.
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 →West Vancouver’s housing runs from mid-century originals through to 1980s and 90s builds in the upper British Properties and Caulfeild — which is where the Poly B tends to be.
Steep lots and long service runs are the norm here, and a leak on a hillside property can travel a surprising distance before it shows.
