Strata Know-How

Navigating Condo Plumbing in BC

Condo plumbing has unique rules. Here's what every Lower Mainland condo owner should know before calling a plumber.

Get strata approval before starting

Most BC stratas require written approval for any plumbing work that touches common property or shared lines. We can help you draft the request.

Document everything with photos

Take before-and-after photos. This protects you if strata disputes responsibility for a leak that started in a common pipe.

Know the Strata Property Act

Under BC's Strata Property Act, owners are responsible for plumbing within their unit. Strata covers common pipes and shared infrastructure.

Emergency leaks: shut off immediately

Locate your unit's shut-off valve before you need it. If water is coming from above, notify strata and the unit above you right away.

Not sure if your strata covers the repair?

Our plumbers are experienced with BC strata rules and can help you determine responsibility before any work starts.

Condo Plumbing FAQ

Who is responsible for plumbing repairs in a BC condo — the owner or strata?
Under BC's Strata Property Act, owners are responsible for plumbing fixtures and pipes within their unit (toilets, faucets, supply lines). The strata corporation is responsible for common property plumbing — shared drain stacks, main supply lines, and pipes in walls or ceilings that serve multiple units. If a common pipe fails and damages your unit, strata's insurance typically covers the damage.
How much does it cost to replace a toilet in a Vancouver condo?
Toilet replacement in a Lower Mainland condo typically costs $350–$600 including parts and labour. This includes removing the old toilet, installing a new one with a new wax ring and supply line, and testing for leaks. Low-flush or comfort-height models are available in the same price range. Emergency or after-hours service adds $80–$150.
Can I replace my own faucet in a condo?
Technically yes — faucet replacement within your unit doesn't always require strata approval. However, if you need to shut off water to the entire floor or building, you'll need strata to coordinate. We recommend hiring a licensed plumber to avoid voiding manufacturer warranties and to ensure the work meets BC plumbing code.
Why is my water pressure low in my apartment?
Low water pressure in apartments can be caused by a faulty pressure-reducing valve (PRV) in your unit or the building, partially closed shut-off valves, mineral buildup in aerators or showerheads, or a leak somewhere in the supply line. A plumber can diagnose the cause in about 30 minutes. PRV replacement costs $200–$600 depending on location.
How long does a condo plumbing repair take?
Most single-fixture repairs (faucet, toilet, showerhead) take 1–2 hours. Full fixture replacements take 2–4 hours. More complex work like shower valve replacement or drain stack access can take a full day. We always provide a time estimate before starting.
Do you need to shut off water to the whole building for condo plumbing work?
For most unit-level repairs — toilet, faucet, sink — we only need to shut off the angle stop valve under the fixture. No building-wide shutoff is needed. For work on shared lines or if your unit lacks individual shut-offs, we coordinate with strata for a scheduled building shutoff, typically early morning.
Do you work in high-rise condos and apartment buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in high-rise and mid-rise buildings throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, and the Fraser Valley. We're familiar with strata approval processes, building manager coordination, and the specific challenges of high-rise plumbing (stack pressure, limited access, noise bylaws).
What's the best toilet for a condo in BC?
We recommend WaterSense-certified toilets that use 4.8 litres per flush or less — these qualify for some municipal rebates and are preferred by stratas for water conservation. Popular models include the TOTO Drake, American Standard Champion, and Kohler Cimarron. We supply and install all major brands.
