Plumbing, Heating & Gas Services in Vancouver

From Kitsilano to East Van, Commercial Drive to Marpole, Vancouver homeowners and building owners turn to Mavi Mechanicals for reliable plumbing, heating, and gas fitting.

Vancouver Mechanical Services

We work across Vancouver neighbourhoods, including older homes with aging plumbing, newer condo developments, and strata buildings.

Vancouver has pre-war houses, West Side character homes, and high-density condos, so plumbing systems range from cast iron drains to PEX and high-efficiency hydronic heating.

Cast Iron and Clay in Pre-War Homes

Much of the West Side and East Vancouver housing stock predates the 1950s, which means cast iron stacks and clay sewer laterals that have been in the ground for seventy years or more. Clay joints admit roots, and cast iron scales from the inside until the effective diameter is a fraction of what it was. Recurring backups in an older Vancouver house are usually a condition problem rather than a blockage problem, and camera inspection is what separates the two.

Poly-B in 1980s and 1990s Townhomes

Vancouver has a large stock of townhomes and infill built through the Poly-B era. The pipe is grey and flexible and usually visible beside the hot water tank or under a bathroom vanity. Because the degradation happens inside the pipe wall, a system can look sound and still be near the end of its life, which is why insurers now ask about it at renewal.

Strata and Condo Suite Plumbing

In a Vancouver condo the first question is rarely what is broken. It is whether the failure sits inside the strata lot or on common property, because that decides who authorises the work and who pays. We establish that boundary against the strata plan before scoping, and we work within building access and notice rules rather than around them.

Hydronic and Radiant in Character Homes

Cast iron radiators and later in-floor systems are common in Vancouver character homes. The faults are usually in the distribution rather than the boiler: trapped air, failed circulators, zone valves that no longer seat, and mixing valves letting floor temperatures drift. Diagnosis works through the system rather than starting and stopping at the appliance.
