What to do right now

If water is actively leaking, shut off the nearest fixture valve if you can safely reach it. If the leak will not stop, shut off the main water supply to the home if you can safely access it.

If a toilet, floor drain, or sewer line is backing up, stop using water anywhere in the house. Running sinks, toilets, dishwashers, or washing machines can make the backup spread quickly through tubs, showers, and floor drains.

Move towels, rugs, furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area where possible. Fast action can help limit damage to flooring, drywall, cabinetry, ceilings, and finished areas of the home.

What happens when you call us

Every business-hours visit begins with a $99 + GST call-out fee, which covers travel, arrival, and a visual, non-invasive first check. For an accepted after-hours visit, the call-out is $255 + GST instead of $99, subject to availability. We confirm the visit and applicable pricing before attending. Repairs, parts and further investigation are separate and priced for your approval before work begins.

The first priority during an emergency visit is helping stabilize the situation safely and prevent the plumbing problem from escalating further where possible.

Once the immediate situation is under control, we explain what failed, what we can confirm, and what still needs to be checked if the cause is not fully visible.

If Further Investigation or additional access is needed, we explain what is required and give you the price before proceeding. If enough is known to define the repair, we give you the repair price before any approved work begins.

Emergency situations we regularly respond to

No hot water and water heater emergencies

A leaking electric water heater can cause significant property damage. If the tank is actively leaking, turn off its electrical supply and water supply only if it is safe to do so. Learn more about no hot water and electric water heater repair in North Vancouver .

Emergency Plumber North Vancouver FAQ

Can you send an emergency plumber in North Vancouver today?

Call to check the earliest available help. Regular hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Emergency service is available after hours, subject to availability. Please call to check. Same-day attendance and arrival times are not guaranteed.

What should I do if several drains or toilets are backing up?

Stop using water and appliances that discharge into the affected drainage system. Multiple fixtures backing up can indicate a wider drain or sewer problem rather than a single toilet clog. Keep people away from wastewater and call for urgent help. In a strata property, notify the building manager.

What should I do about a leak in a condo or basement suite?

If safe and accessible, close the fixture shutoff or the unit/home water shutoff. Stay away from water near electrical equipment and do not enter an unsafe area to reach a valve. Notify the building manager, landlord or affected neighbour where shared plumbing or another unit may be involved, then call us.
