Plumbing services in Vancouver
Right Choice Plumbing is a locally owned plumbing company Vancouver residents have trusted since our founding in 2023. This page is the deeper dive on Vancouver plumbing services - neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood detail, the long-tail questions Vancouver homeowners actually ask, and how the team approaches the unique housing stock across the city. Looking for the headline Vancouver plumber overview, pricing and emergency response info? That all lives on our main licensed plumber in Vancouver home page.
Vancouver plumbing companies have to handle a wide spread of housing stock: 1910 character homes in Strathcona and Mount Pleasant, post-war bungalows in East Van, mid-century split-levels in Kerrisdale and Marpole, plus the brand-new towers in False Creek, Olympic Village and the Cambie corridor. Each one comes with its own plumbing quirks - galvanized supply lines that need re-piping, cast-iron drains that need careful tie-ins, poly-B that needs a careful retrofit, or modern PEX systems that need code-correct installation. Residential plumbing in Vancouver isn't a one-size-fits-all trade, and the crew you call should know the difference.
Plumbing services in Vancouver homes need to cover the full picture: emergency response when something fails, planned repairs for the things you've been putting off, replacements for fixtures and tanks past their useful life, and renovations when you're improving the home. We handle all of it - kitchen and bathroom plumbing in Vancouver, gas hookups for ranges and water heaters, hot water tank replacement and installation, drainage work, sewer cleaning, leak detection, and the small stuff like a wobbling toilet or a slow-filling tank. One licensed plumbing company Vancouver homeowners call for any of it.
Plumbing repair Vancouver work is the bread-and-butter of what we do day to day. A bad cartridge in a kitchen faucet, a dripping tub spout that's been ignored for two years, a toilet that won't stop running, a hot water tank that's making the popcorn-popping sound of sediment - these are all routine, same-day fixes for our team. We charge fair flat-rate pricing on every plumbing repair Vancouver call so you know what the bill looks like before we start work, not after.

Google reviews
Real Google reviews from Vancouver customers who hired Right Choice Plumbing for emergency calls, hot water tanks, drain cleaning and more.
Right Choice has become our go-to plumber in Vancouver. Hot water tank repair last fall, two bathroom faucets in January, and a slow kitchen drain in March - every single time on time, fair price, friendly tech, clean work. We tell every neighbour about them.
Best plumber experience I've had in fifteen years in Vancouver. Called Tuesday morning about a sewer smell in the basement, plumber was here by Wednesday, diagnosed a dry trap on a rarely-used floor drain in five minutes and didn't even charge me a service call. Honest pros.
Had a leak in our downtown condo at 9pm on a Friday. Right Choice answered the after-hours line, coordinated with our strata for building access, and had the leak isolated and repaired before midnight. Saved our floor and the unit below. A true emergency plumber in Vancouver.

Perimeter Drainage Service in VancouverChoosing a plumber
Among the Vancouver plumbing companies you can call, the differences come down to a few specifics: licensing (every plumber on the truck should be a TQ-certified BC plumber), insurance (both general liability and WorkSafeBC coverage), pricing transparency (flat-rate quote up front, not an hourly meter), and warranty (workmanship plus manufacturer parts). We tick all four boxes on every Vancouver plumbing call.
Vancouver plumbing companies that earn repeat business also do the unglamorous things well - drop cloths down on the floor, boots covered in your home, a tidy work area at the end of the call, photos of the finished job, and a clear emailed invoice. That's the standard Right Choice Plumbing brings to every plumbing repair Vancouver homeowners book with us.
Homeowner plumbing
Residential plumbing in Vancouver covers everything from a small fixture repair to a full re-pipe of an older heritage home. We work on single-family homes, duplexes, laneway homes, basement suites, townhouses, and condominium suites - and our crew is comfortable in any of them. Common residential plumbing Vancouver jobs include leaking faucet and shower repairs, toilet replacement and installation, hot water tank repair, drain cleaning, sewer cleaning, water leak detection and repair, and gas hookups.
If you're planning a renovation, addition or basement suite, our residential plumbing in Vancouver service includes proper rough-ins to BC plumbing code, permit pulls with the City of Vancouver where required, and final inspections. We coordinate with your renovation timeline so the rough-in goes in before drywall and the final hookups happen on schedule.
Day-to-day repairs
Most plumbing repair Vancouver calls fall into a handful of buckets. Failing toilet flush valves and fill valves. Leaking shower cartridges. Kitchen faucets that won't shut off cleanly. Hot water tanks past their useful life. Slow drains. Wax ring leaks at the base of the toilet. Failed shut-off valves under sinks and behind toilets. Aging pressure-relief valves on water heaters. We carry the parts for all of these on every Vancouver service van so most plumbing repairs Vancouver homeowners book with us are finished in a single trip.
If a small repair turns out to be a bigger problem mid-job (a rotted subfloor under a wobbly toilet, a corroded copper line behind a leaking faucet, a failed flange you can't reuse), we stop, show you what we found, give you the additional quote in writing, and only continue once you approve. No surprise extras on the invoice.
Bathroom & kitchen
Bathroom plumbing in Vancouver homes is one of the most-requested services we run. Fixture swaps - faucet, toilet, shower head - are quick, same-day jobs. Bigger work like a tub-to-shower conversion, a vanity replacement that requires drain re-routing, or a basement bathroom rough-in is scoped out, quoted up front, and scheduled around your timeline. Whatever the bathroom plumbing Vancouver project is, the licensed BC plumbers on our crew handle it cleanly.
