Why this matters in Burnaby

Burnaby's older North Burnaby bungalows frequently have galvanized supply lines from the 1940s–1960s, while 1980s–90s homes in South Burnaby often have Poly-B. Metrotown-area condos and highrise buildings require commercial plumbing expertise for strata repairs. Our Burnaby plumbers are equipped for all of it — one licensed team for every type of Burnaby property.

Residential Plumbing context across Burnaby

The local details below come from the Burnaby service-area profile and help place this plumbing service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.

Aging North Burnaby Pipe Systems

Pre-war bungalows in North Burnaby often have galvanized water lines causing low pressure and rust-coloured water. Copper or PEX repipe restores clean, full-pressure water delivery and eliminates the corrosion problem.

Highrise & Strata Plumbing

Metrotown and Brentwood area highrise condos require licensed plumbers familiar with strata building systems — from suite repairs to risers, pressure-balancing valves, and common-area plumbing.

Multi-Family Boiler Maintenance

Burnaby's aging mid-rise rental buildings frequently rely on central boiler systems for heat and hot water. We service, repair, and replace commercial boilers for building managers throughout Burnaby.

North Burnaby

North Burnaby's pre-war and wartime bungalows — many built in the 1940s and 1950s — are among the most plumbing-challenged properties we service. Original galvanized supply lines in these homes cause chronically low water pressure and rust-tinted water that won't improve until the pipes are replaced. Copper or PEX repipe permanently solves both problems and typically improves home resale value.

Metrotown & Brentwood

Metrotown and Brentwood are Burnaby's highrise hubs, with dozens of strata towers requiring licensed plumbers familiar with multi-unit building systems. From suite-level fixture replacements to pressure-balancing valve issues and common-area riser work, we coordinate directly with strata managers and property management companies to minimize disruption to residents.

Edmonds

Edmonds is a mid-century residential neighbourhood with housing predominantly from the 1960s and 1970s. Poly-B piping is present in the 1980s-built homes on the neighbourhood's eastern edge near New Westminster. We assess and replace Poly-B in Edmonds properties and also service the neighbourhood's older cast-iron drain lines that can crack and invite root intrusion over time.

How do I know if my home has Poly-B plumbing?

Polybutylene (Poly-B) pipes are grey plastic and were commonly installed in homes built in Coquitlam between 1978 and 1995.

Sudden and accidental water damage — such as a burst pipe — is typically covered by home insurance in BC. However, gradual leaks and wear-and-tear are usually excluded. Hippo Plumbing & Heating can provide documentation of work completed to assist with insurance claims.
