Plumbing Repair & Maintenance in North Vancouver
Dripping faucet? Running toilet? Hidden leak driving up your water bill? Lord Mechanical provides fast, reliable plumbing repairs with upfront pricing and same-day service. We also offer preventive maintenance plans to catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
What We Fix
Common Plumbing Repairs
No plumbing problem is too small or too complex for our team. From a simple faucet washer replacement to a full pipe re-route, we diagnose accurately, explain clearly, and fix it right the first time.
Leak Detection & Repair
Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons per year and cause structural damage. We use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under floors, and in underground pipes — without unnecessary demolition. Once located, we repair the leak with lasting solutions.
Faucet Repair & Replacement
Dripping faucets waste water and money — a faucet dripping once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. We repair cartridges, seals, and valves or install new faucets. Kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and outdoor hose bibs all serviced.
Toilet Repair
Running toilets, weak flushes, phantom flushing, leaking bases, and rocking toilets. We repair or replace flappers, fill valves, flush valves, wax rings, bolts, and supply lines. If your toilet is beyond repair, we'll recommend and install an efficient replacement.
Pipe Repair & Replacement
Corroded, cracked, or frozen pipes need professional attention. We repair copper, PEX, ABS, and galvanized pipes. For older homes in North Vancouver with aging galvanized plumbing, we recommend and perform full or partial re-piping to restore water pressure and quality.
Drain Clearing & Repair
Slow drains, clogged sinks, backed-up showers — we clear them all. We use motorized drain snakes and hydro-jetting to clear even the toughest blockages. Camera inspection identifies root intrusion, pipe collapse, or other underlying issues. See our drainage services for major sewer work.
Water Pressure Issues
Low water pressure can result from corroded pipes, faulty pressure regulators, partially closed valves, or municipal supply problems. We diagnose the root cause with pressure testing and flow analysis, then implement the right fix — whether it's a valve adjustment, regulator replacement, or pipe upgrade.
Preventive Care

The best plumbing repair is the one you never need. Our annual plumbing maintenance plans are designed to catch small issues before they escalate into expensive emergencies. Regular professional inspections can extend the life of your plumbing system by years and save you thousands in avoided repairs.
What's included in our annual inspection:

- Water heater check-up — Temperature, pressure relief valve, anode rod condition, and sediment assessment. See our hot water tank services.
- Faucet and toilet assessment — Check for drips, running mechanisms, and worn components.
- Drain flow testing — Verify proper flow rates on all drains to catch early signs of blockages.
- Water pressure check — Ensure pressure is within the safe 40-80 PSI range to protect fixtures and appliances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plumbing Repair FAQs
Plumbing repair costs vary by the nature of the problem. Simple fixes like faucet repairs or toilet flapper replacement typically range from $150-$300. Leak repairs range from $200-$600 depending on accessibility. Pipe repairs or replacements can range from $300-$1,500+. For specialized work like water main replacement, costs are higher. We always provide an upfront, written quote before starting work — no surprises.
Signs of hidden leaks include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no taps are on, damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, musty odors (indicating mold growth behind walls), warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), and your water meter spinning when all taps are off. We use electronic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks without unnecessary demolition.
Yes! Lord Mechanical offers annual plumbing maintenance plans that include a comprehensive system inspection, water heater check-up, faucet and toilet assessment, drain flow testing, water pressure check, and priority scheduling for any needed repairs. Regular maintenance catches small issues — a $20 washer today prevents a $2,000 water damage claim tomorrow. Call (604) 670-3737 to sign up.
While we can make spot repairs to galvanized pipes, we generally recommend replacement for homes with extensive galvanized plumbing. Galvanized steel pipes — common in North Vancouver homes built before the 1970s, especially in areas like Edgemont, Pemberton Heights, and Upper Lonsdale — corrode from the inside out. This restricts water flow, creates rust-colored water, and eventually leads to leaks. We typically recommend a full or partial re-pipe with copper or PEX tubing for a permanent, code-compliant solution.
We offer same-day plumbing repair service for most standard issues. For urgent problems like active leaks, we prioritize your call and aim for a same-day visit. For true emergencies like burst pipes or flooding, our 24/7 emergency plumbing service targets 60-minute response times on the North Shore. We serve North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and all of Greater Vancouver. Call (604) 670-3737 to schedule.
