If you’re dealing with frequent leaks, rusty water, low water pressure, or aging pipes in your home, it may be time to consider professional pipe repair or full repiping. Many older homes in Vancouver still have worn copper, galvanized steel, or Poly-B pipes that can corrode, leak, or burst over time.
What Is Repiping and When Is It Needed?
Repiping means replacing old or damaged water supply lines throughout part or all of your home. Instead of repairing the same leaking section repeatedly, repiping provides a long-term, permanent solution that improves reliability, water quality, and pressure.
Our licensed Vancouver plumbers inspect your existing plumbing, identify problem areas, and recommend whether targeted pipe repair or full repiping is the best option.
Signs Your Home May Need Pipe Repair or Repiping
- Frequent leaks or water damage on walls and ceilings
- Rust-coloured or discoloured water from taps
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
- Corroded or visibly damaged pipes
- Poly-B or galvanized plumbing in an older home
- Unusual noises or banging from water lines
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to major leaks, mold growth, and costly structural repairs; especially if a hidden pipe bursts.

Pipe Repair and Repiping — Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to repair a leaking pipe or repipe the home?
Small isolated leaks can sometimes be repaired, but frequent or recurring leaks usually mean the piping system is aging and repiping is a safer long-term solution.
How long does a repiping project take?
Most residential repiping projects take between 1–3 days depending on the size of the home and the type of plumbing system being replaced.
What types of pipes are best for repiping?
Modern homes typically use high-quality PEX or copper piping for durability, safety, and water pressure performance.
