Repiping Services in Greater Vancouver
Old, damaged, or corroded pipes do not just cause leaks. They can lower your water pressure, discolour your water, and lead to ongoing plumbing problems that keep coming back no matter how many times you patch them. Gold Star Plumbing and Heating provides complete repiping services across Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and the North Shore. Whether your home has galvanized steel pipe from decades ago or copper pipe that has finally reached the end of its life, our licensed plumbers can replace it with a modern system built to last.
Repiping is one of the services included in our full range of plumbing services.
Signs Your Home Needs Repiping
Homes with galvanized steel or old copper pipe are often good candidates for repiping, especially if repairs keep happening in different spots along the same line. If your home was built more than forty years ago and still has its original supply lines, it is worth having a plumber take a look even if you have not noticed a problem yet.
Common signs include:
What Repiping Involves
Repiping means replacing the water supply lines throughout your home with new, reliable pipe. We plan the work carefully to limit disruption, remove the old piping, install new lines, and test everything before we consider the job done. We take care to protect your flooring, walls, and belongings throughout the project, and we clean up thoroughly at the end of each work day.
Partial Repiping or Whole Home Repiping
Some homes only need a section of pipe replaced, while others benefit from a full repipe. We inspect your system first and give you an honest recommendation, rather than pushing a bigger job than you actually need.

Repiping Materials We Use
We work with copper and PEX pipe, and we can talk you through the differences so you can choose what makes sense for your home and budget. We do not use galvanized steel for new installations, since it is prone to corrosion and buildup inside the pipe over time, which is often the very problem that leads homeowners to repipe in the first place.

What to Expect During the Repiping Process
Most repiping projects start with a walkthrough of your home, where we map out the existing plumbing and identify the best path for new lines. Your water will be shut off for periods throughout the day, and we coordinate the timeline with you in advance so you know what to expect. Once the new pipe is installed, we pressure test the entire system and check every fixture before we call the job complete.
1. Walk Through the Home
We map the existing plumbing and review the areas that need replacement.
2. Plan New Pipe Routes
We identify practical routes for the new supply lines while limiting disruption.
3. Install the New Lines
We replace the required piping and coordinate planned water shutoffs with you.
4. Pressure Test the System
Once the new pipe is installed, we pressure test the entire system for reliability.
5. Check Every Fixture
We confirm proper flow at each fixture and complete a final walkthrough before the job is done.
Cost Factors in a Repiping Project
The cost of repiping depends on the size of your home, the number of fixtures, how accessible your existing pipes are, and whether you choose copper or PEX. Homes with finished basements or multiple stories can take more time than a smaller bungalow. We provide a clear, written quote after our initial inspection, and we always explain what is driving the price.

More square footage means more pipe and more labour

Impact on Cost
Finished basements and multiple stories slow access work
Material choice
