Valve and Leak Repair in Greater Vancouver
A leaking valve or pipe can waste water and cause damage to your home if it is not dealt with quickly. Gold Star Plumbing and Heating finds the source of the leak and repairs it properly, serving Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and the North Shore.
From worn shutoff valves and dripping pipe joints to hidden leaks behind walls, our licensed plumbers locate the true source of the problem and complete dependable repairs throughout Greater Vancouver.
Common Signs of a Leaking Shower Valve
Watch for water pooling around a shutoff valve, a hissing sound near a pipe, a higher than normal water bill, or damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. Valves under sinks, behind toilets, and near your water meter are common places for leaks to start.
Shutoff Valve Repair
Shutoff valves can wear out, corrode, or seize over time, which can cause them to leak or stop working properly in an emergency. We repair or replace worn valves so you can trust them to work when you need them most.
Pipe Leak Repair
Leaks can happen at pipe joints, behind walls, or under floors, and are not always easy to spot right away. We track down the source of the leak and repair the pipe using methods suited to your specific plumbing system.
Preventing Future Leaks
In many cases, a leaking valve or pipe is a sign of age or wear rather than a one time problem. We can let you know if other valves or pipes nearby are showing early signs of the same issue, so you can address them before they fail.
Signs You Have a Leaking Valve or Pipe
Leaks are not always obvious, and a hidden one can cause significant damage before it becomes visible. Watch for a water bill that is higher than usual without a clear reason, a hissing or dripping sound from behind a wall or under a floor when no taps are running, a damp or discoloured patch on a wall, ceiling, or floor, a valve handle that feels wet or shows white mineral deposits around the stem, or the smell of mildew coming from inside a cabinet or wall. Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years are also a common failure point worth checking.
Unexpected Water Use or Sounds
A higher water bill or hissing and dripping sounds when no taps are running can point to a hidden leak.
Damp Patches and Mineral Deposits
Discoloured walls, wet valve handles, or white mineral deposits around a valve stem are common warning signs.
Mildew and Aging Shutoff Valves
A mildew smell inside a cabinet or wall, or valves that have not been turned in years, can indicate a developing problem.
Our Valve and Leak Repair Process
We start by locating the source of the leak, which is not always where the visible water appears. We check valves, pipe joints, supply lines, and fittings in the affected area and use moisture meters or listening equipment when the leak is inside a wall. Once we find the source, we give you a clear quote and complete the repair using the right method for your pipe type and water pressure. We test the repair under pressure before closing any walls and check nearby valves to let you know if anything else is at risk.
1. We Locate
We trace the visible water and ask when, where, and how the leak appears.
2. We Inspect
We check valves, joints, supply lines, and fittings and use moisture or listening tools when needed.
3. We Quote
Once we identify the source, we explain the issue and give you a clear quote before starting.
4. We Repair
We repair or replace the failed valve, fitting, supply line, or pipe using the right method for your system.
5. We Test
We test the repair under pressure and check nearby valves before closing any opened access area.
