Testimonials

"Our furnace and hot water tank were over 10 years old, and to be safe, we decided to replace both. Papa Plumbing recommended two excellent products and gave an estimate to remove the old and install the new. A price was set, and although there was some difficulty completing the installation of the HE furnace, the installers did a great job of determining how to complete the task. The job took a little longer than expected, but no additional costs were charged. Very happy with the results and advice on future maintenance. Thanks, Kal and service installers”

"I contacted Papa Plumbing and Heating about a problem with our sink and was quickly put in touch with a technician. He clearly explained the solution and gave us a cost estimate right away. Throughout the process, he stayed in touch and kept us informed at every stage. Once the work was finished, everything was handled neatly and efficiently. He was punctual, professional, and easy to deal with. Overall, it was a really positive experience, and I'd gladly recommend Papa Plumbing and Heating to anyone who needs their services. Thanks again!"

Why do West Vancouver homeowners need professional plumbing maintenance?

West Vancouver is known for its mix of established character homes and newer luxury builds, many perched on steep, forested terrain. Older properties, especially in Ambleside, Dundarave, and along the waterfront, often still have original plumbing that can be highly susceptible to corrosion, hidden leaks, and sudden failure. The hillside terrain and mature tree canopy across the municipality can also pose risks to underground infrastructure like root intrusion and shifting soil, which can crack pipes and lead to severe sewer backups. Routine maintenance from Papa Plumbing is a good idea in order to catch vulnerabilities early. Using advanced diagnostic tools like sewer camera inspections, our team can spot root intrusion, shifting lines, and aging pipework before it turns into a home emergency.

Are your plumbers licensed and certified?

All plumbers should have liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We definitely do at Papa Plumbing. Every member of the Papa Plumbing team is fully licensed, certified, and insured, including our expert gas fitters. Our crew is backed by over three decades of industry experience, and our senior technicians bring upwards of 35 years of hands-on expertise to every job. We're also proud to be a BBB Accredited business.
