24 hour plumber

24 Hour Plumber in Vancouver

Our 24 hour phone line is staffed every day. If a pipe bursts at 3 a.m., a sewer backs up on a long weekend, or the hot water stops on Christmas morning, we answer. We can explain how to find the main shut-off, isolate a fixture, or turn off the water heater breaker while a licensed BC plumber is dispatched.

The same local crew handles our daytime and after-hours calls with the same stocked trucks and flat-rate pricing. If an after-hours surcharge applies, we disclose it before dispatch.

Common questions

Emergency Plumber in Vancouver - Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get an emergency plumber to my house?
In most cases, we can have a plumber at your Vancouver-area home within an hour or two, day or night. We give priority to burst pipes, sewer backups, and homes without hot water.
Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency plumbing calls?
We explain the price before dispatch. After-hours and weekend calls may have a small surcharge, but we tell you the exact amount before the plumber leaves for your property.
What should I do before the plumber arrives in an emergency?
For a burst pipe or major leak, shut off the home's main water valve, usually near the front of the property or in the basement. For a sewer or toilet backup, stop using water and drains. We can talk you through the immediate steps by phone.
Are you actually licensed plumbers in British Columbia?
Yes. Right Choice Plumbing is licensed and insured in BC. Our plumbers hold the certifications required for their work, including gas certification where applicable.
