About Plumbing Services in Burnaby
Burnaby is a city of contrasts — where a post-war bungalow on a quiet Capitol Hill street sits just kilometres from a soaring highrise condo tower at Brentwood. Each type of home comes with its own plumbing story, and Williamson Mechanical & Contracting knows how to read it. We’ve been serving Burnaby homeowners and property managers across Metrotown, Lougheed, South Slope, and every neighbourhood in between with licensed, insured plumbing that stands behind its work.
Common Plumbing Problems in Burnaby
Corroded galvanized steel pipes in homes built before 1970 — common in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights
Poly-B pipe degradation in homes built 1978–1995
Condo water line failures and inter-unit leak disputes
Aging cast iron drain lines cracking and root-invaded
Low water pressure from scale buildup in older fixtures
Water heater failures in condos with limited utility space
Why Burnaby Homeowners Choose Williamson Mechanical

Water Heater Services in Burnaby
Space is often limited in Burnaby condos and older homes, which makes water heater selection critical. We install gas and electric tank models as well as compact tankless systems ideal for tight utility rooms. Our tankless installations are popular in Burnaby’s condo market where storage space is at a premium and energy efficiency is a priority.
Drain & Sewer Services in Burnaby
Burnaby’s older sewer infrastructure — particularly in Central Park, Edmonds, and older parts of Burnaby Heights — sees frequent root intrusion and pipe joint failures. We use camera inspection to precisely diagnose drain issues before recommending repair or replacement. For newer condos near Brentwood and Metrotown, we handle clog clearing and waste line maintenance as part of strata plumbing agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our plumbing services, pricing, and availability.
Do you work on Burnaby condos and strata buildings?
Yes. We work regularly with strata councils and property managers in Burnaby’s condo buildings. We provide full documentation and work within strata bylaws.
My Capitol Hill home has old pipes — what should I check first?
Homes in that vintage often have galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain lines. Both degrade over time. We can do a full assessment and let you know what’s urgent and what can wait.
Can you replace a water heater in a Burnaby condo with limited space?
Yes. We specialize in compact installations including tankless wall-mounted units ideal for tight utility rooms. We’ll recommend the right system for your space.
Do you handle Poly-B replacement in Burnaby?
Absolutely — it’s one of our most frequent services in Burnaby given the volume of homes built in the 1980s. We provide full re-pipe documentation for your insurer.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Burnaby?
Burnaby is a core service area for us. Emergency response is typically 60–90 minutes, 24 hours a day, including weekends.
