Trusted Family Plumber in Colwood

Colwood is a favorite for families, and active households put a lot of demand on their plumbing systems. From endless laundry loads to bathtime routines, you need a system that keeps up. Praise Plumbing is the trusted choice for Colwood families needing fast repairs and proactive maintenance.

Many homes built in Colwood during the 80s and 90s may still contain Poly-B piping, which is prone to sudden failure. We offer complete Poly-B replacement services to protect your investment and lower your home insurance premiums.

We also help you save on utility bills with eco-friendly upgrades like low-flow toilets and high-efficiency heat pump water heaters.

Plumbing Solutions for the Growing Westshore

Colwood has evolved from a bedroom community into a vibrant city. With neighborhoods ranging from the established Triangle Mountain to the new developments at Royal Bay, the plumbing needs here are diverse. We provide the localized expertise to handle them all.

The "Poly-B" Repipe Specialists

One of the most critical issues facing Colwood homeowners involves Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping. This grey plastic pipe was standard in homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s—a boom time for Colwood construction. Unfortunately, chlorine in our municipal water causes these pipes to degrade from the inside out, leading to sudden, catastrophic bursts.

Praise Plumbing is a Poly-B Remediation Expert. We don't just patch these leaks; we solve the problem permanently. We offer whole-home repiping services, replacing dangerous Poly-B with durable PEX or Copper. We handle the drywall cutting, the piping, and the testing, leaving you with a secure home and valid insurance coverage.

Heat Pump Water Heaters & Efficiency

Colwood residents are leaders in adopting green technology. If you are looking to replace an old electric hot water tank, consider a Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater. These units pull heat from the surrounding air to heat your water, using up to 60% less electricity than standard tanks.

We are certified installers of these high-efficiency systems. Not only do they save you money on your BC Hydro bill, but they also qualify for various government rebates. We can guide you through the selection process to find the right unit for your family size.

Triangle Mountain & Water Pressure

Properties on elevation, like those on Triangle Mountain, often rely on booster pumps to get adequate water pressure, or conversely, suffer from extreme municipal pressure at the bottom of the hill.

We specialize in Pressure Management. If your shower feels weak, we can troubleshoot your booster pump. If your pipes are banging and your toilets are running, we can install a heavy-duty Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) to protect your appliances from high-pressure damage.

Outdoor Living: Gas & Water

With larger lots in Colwood, outdoor kitchens and fire pits are popular. As licensed gas fitters, we can run gas lines for your BBQ or patio heater, allowing you to enjoy your backyard year-round. We also install frost-free hose bibs to ensure your gardening water access never freezes during a cold snap.
