British Properties Plumbers

When you hire our British Properties plumbers for anything… expect quality parts and service from us. If you are looking for the cheapest possible solution, sorry we are not those guys. 

Pioneer Plumbing provides top quality plumbing and heating services for homes and businesses across Vancouver’s north shore. We opened our doors in 1976 and have built a great reputation by consistently delivering long-lasting quality solutions. If you need any professional work done, we are your go-to source.

Plumbing Services

Our team consists of licensed journeymen and apprentice workers dedicated to your satisfaction. If you have a plumbing leak, failing pipes, or drains that need to be cleaned out, we will take care of that for you. With all the older homes on the north shore we routinely replace entire plumbing systems, AKA repipe, or repiping. This is not a common job, but in ageing neighborhoods we get calls for that type of thing quite often. We also assist homeowners with new fixtures, toilets, and drainage systems as they need replacing.

Heating Services

Heating your living space with equipment that needs constant attention is a job for the well-informed, or preferably a professional. Maintenance programs are quite common in our industry, so if you are interested in finding out how important that is, please call during office hours for a run-down on how we help extend the life of your heating systems.

We deal with HVAC and air conditioning, traditional central heating system such as a gas fired furnace, boilers, and water heaters. Your family’s comfort depends on these appliances to keep the house warm, especially at night. When something like a hot water tank fails, you are faced with a cold shower and no way to wash dishes the way you would usually do. That is why we recommend an annual visit to look at the different heating appliances in your home or business, and tune them up, replace worn out parts and check for the safety of gas lines, etc.

Drain Services

Drains usually work flawlessly, until they don’t. When something gets blocked for any reason and can’t be easily cleared with a plunger, we have the experience and tools to take care of situations like a clogged drain.

With interior and exterior drains on every property, you need to be aware of the entire system and do your best to make sure the pipes stay free and clear of anything that would stop normal drainage. If old drain tiles need to be replaced, we will take care of it. Exterior drains go by a few names. Drain tile, weeping tile, French drains, and the perimeter drain. When this type of drain needs to be replaced a lot of factors come into play, including the correct slope to make sure there are no low spots between your building and city sewers.

For any work in the areas listed above that you can’t deal with yourself, call for an appointment.

More Information about British Properties

Originally known as Capilano Estates, the British Properties is a residential area in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The 4,000 acre area was sold by the municipality of West Vancouver to the British Pacific Properties Corporation in 1931, which continues to develop the land to the present day.

Map of British Properties

In 1931, the British Pacific Properties, a corporation consisting of a group of investors led by the Guinness brewing company, acquired 4,000 acres of land from the municipality of West Vancouver stretching from the Capilano River to Horseshoe Bay. The land was purchased during the Great Depression, when the municipality was nearing bankruptcy due to residents being unable to pay property taxes. The Guinness family, led by Walter Guinness committed to funding $1 million in local improvements over a five-year period and constructing the Lions Gate Bridge. The corporation ended up paying $75,000 to the municipality for the land with the agreement of $1 million in improvements.

The original landscaping was designed by the prestigious Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm from Boston. Olmsted Brothers was founded by Frederick Law Olmsted—the father of North American landscape architecture and the creator of Central Park in Manhattan, Mount Royal in Montreal, and the innovative Riverside suburb in West Chicago.
