Urban Piping
Urban Piping has been solving Vancouver and Burnaby plumbing headaches for over 12 years, and they are the team I recommend when older homes need real, lasting fixes. They specialise in Poly B replacement and repiping projects, so if your building has brittle grey plastic pipes or hidden leaks, they know the quirks of these systems and the precise steps to remove them safely and cleanly.
They handle full home and multi-unit repipes, pipe-by-pipe replacements, and targeted repairs. Common installs include copper repiping, PEX systems from reliable brands, new water mains, and replacing Poly B fittings with brass or approved alternatives. For drain issues they carry hydro-jetting equipment rated for 2,000 psi clearance, and for water heaters they install tankless and conventional units, including on-demand systems sized to your square footage and family needs. They also do fixture swaps, sump pump installs, and backflow prevention testing under municipal standards.
What sets them apart is how they work. Technicians hold Red Seal and Interprovincial Plumbing credentials, plus in-house licences for gas work where needed. On a repipe they start with a detailed walkthrough, digital photos, and a numbered plan so tenants and owners can see exactly what will change. Jobs are scheduled with arrival windows, uniforms and ID, and all waste is hauled away. They provide manufacturer-backed warranties, submit city permits, and coordinate with strata managers when required, so projects move without surprises.
Locally owned and based in Burnaby, Urban Piping responds quickly to neighbourhood needs, often scheduling emergency service the same day. Neighbours choose them because they show up clean, explain options in plain language, and leave homes in better shape than they found them.
