Apartment Repiping in Metro Vancouver
Aging or failing pipes put your entire building at risk; water damage, mould, and mounting repair costs can affect every resident and every unit, with resulting costs eroding the contingency funds meant for other projects or expenses. A full building repipe replaces the old system at the source, delivering reliable water supply for decades to come.
We work directly with building owners, strata councils, and property managers to plan and complete repiping projects with minimal disruption for the residents.
Does Your Building Need Repiping?
- The building is 25 or more years old
- Pipes are made from copper, galvanized steel, Poly Butylene (Poly-B), or CPVC
- Leaks are occurring frequently across multiple units
- Your insurer is flagging the existing plumbing system and you’re experiencing increased premiums and deductibles.
- Your depreciation report indicates that your plumbing system is nearing its’ life expectancy and should be replaced.
Addressing the problem proactively can be less expensive than the costs for repairs and restoration services, and far less disruptive.
What the Work Involves
We handle every stage of the project from; building assessment, owner education, material selection, engineering and permits, scheduling, distribution pipe and riser pipe replacement, in-suite repiping, drywall repair, and final repainting.
Today we often install combinations of stainless steel, Type K copper and PEX piping – all proven, long-lasting materials chosen based on your building’s design. Our experience will help you determine the right fit for your property.
How We Minimize Disruption
Work is scheduled unit by unit and floor by floor, water shut-downs are kept short and communicated well in advance, and our crew protects floors, walls, and furnishings throughout.
We provide thorough clean up each day. In nearly every case, residents can stay in their units for the entire project.
What Your Building Gains
A completed repipe installation means consistent water pressure and service, significantly fewer leaks and maintenance calls, and a water supply system that can last 50 years.
It also tends to improve insurance risks and adds long-lasting value to the property. Repiping in Metro Vancouver is not a secret – repiped strata suites and rental apartment buildings are always more attractive to potential purchasers.
