Plumber & HVAC Services in Edmonds, Burnaby

The older half of Edmonds is a rental district built in one surge — the 1960s and 1970s wood-frame and three-storey walk-ups that line Edmonds Street, Griffiths Drive and the quiet blocks behind them. Their plumbing has spent fifty years serving successive tenants: galvanized and early copper risers choked by decades of hard water, bathtubs reglazed more than once, shared laundry rooms whose drains bail when one unit over-suds, and boiler rooms still running original cast-iron equipment that tenants heat their showers by. Turnover is the rhythm here — between every tenancy there is a window to fix properly what patching has hidden, and landlords who use that window spend less over any five-year lease than ones who do not.

The new half arrived with the 2020s. Purpose-built mid-rise rentals now fill the lots along the SkyTrain corridor and the Griffiths blocks — in-suite laundry on every floor, PEX manifolds, fan coils or heat pumps per unit, and stormwater systems sized for a changing climate. Between the two halves sits the Highgate shopping strip and the arterials toward Kingsway, with their restaurant grease lines and aging backflow devices. Our vans carry both parts lists — a boiler gasket from 1971 and a fan coil condensate pump from 2023 ride the same shelves — and our techs know which conversation they are walking into before they knock.

Every Edmonds visit runs the same rules: a Red Seal plumber or licensed gas tech, a flat-rate quote approved in writing, and a 2-year workmanship warranty at the end. The Burnaby HVAC page covers heating across the city, the repiping guide guide explains what a staged riser renewal involves, and the rent-versus-buy math post helps landlords time replacements honestly.

Edmonds Street and the 1960s-70s walk-ups

Edmonds Street runs the spine of the old rental district, and the walk-ups flanking it are the plumbing time capsule — original risers, shared laundry rooms and plant rooms that have been patched through five decades of tenancies. Our crews work these buildings with turnover calendars in hand, because the cheapest hour a landlord ever buys is the one between tenants. The blocks are tight and the parking is earned, so we arrive with the full kit rather than a plan for a second trip.

Griffiths Drive and the new mid-rise wave

Griffiths Drive and the side streets toward the SkyTrain line are filling with the 2020s purpose-built rentals — the first buildings in Edmonds designed with in-suite laundry on every floor and heat pump or fan coil heating per unit. Their calls are warranty-period calls: condensate lines, aerators packed with construction debris, and water hammer that never got arrested at rough-in. We document everything for the builder claim, and we tell tenants plainly what is a building issue and what is theirs.

The Highgate strip and the arterials

The Highgate shopping area and the Kingsway edges hold the commercial rhythm — restaurant grease interceptors, high-traffic washrooms, and backflow devices that need testing on a schedule, not on a failure. Our grease-line service routes run through this strip weekly, and the small businesses here book us between rushes because a closed kitchen costs more than any repair.
