Yaletown Plumbing Services

Our shower drain finally clogged up enough to give us an excuse to call these guys back. Hooray! They were as awesome, affordable and efficient as we were knew they would be. Now we truly can recommend them loudly and proudly. Best. Plumbers. In. The. City. (BOOM!) That’s me dropping the mike and walking away.

I’ve called on Darren three times over the years. Twice for jobs at my place of business and most recently, (today) for some work at my home. I can highly recommend him.

After seeing on Unilocal how highly rated Yaletown Plumbing was, I thought I might as well get them in to deal with a new dishwasher connection problem. Darren scheduled my repair for the same day that I got his very reasonable quotation. He arrived on time, was friendly and personable with a great sense of humour, and he completed the job efficiently and charged the quoted price. There isn’t a chance that I would consider using anyone else for any plumbing issues in the future!

I can’t believe I’m leaving a review on a plumber! Darren couldn’t help me because I live too far out of the service area… but he called me within 5 minutes of sending an email enquiry and recommended a friend who operates in my neighbourhood. Andreas did a fantastic job. Thank you!

I’m really glad I found out about Yaletown Plumbing Services on Unilocal (thanks, fellow Unilocalers!). I was putting off finding a plumber for months and needed to replace the lines to my washing machine. The delivery guys who had installed my washer/​dryer combo had installed my machines sticking out of the closet as their standard lines were too short. They also told me that my floor was not level, and said to not push my machines against the wall of my closet.
All the positive 5-​star reviews for Yaletown Plumbing Services are well-​deserved. I contacted Darren via the website and got a response very quickly. He asked me to send him photos as well so that he understood what I meant (it is safe to say that I know zero about plumbing). He gave me a quote and I used their handy online booking system to schedule an appointment for my next day off. Darren immediately contacted me back and gave me a 30-​minute window to expect his arrival.
Well, today was the day of my scheduled repair and Darren arrived within five minutes of the start of the timeslot he gave me! :) He replaced the lines, tested my washing machine 4 times to make sure there weren’t any leaks, and carefully pushed my washer/​dryer combo back. He assured me that my floor was level (those delivery guys sure were wrong about everything!) and gave me a tip about the upkeep of my washing machine. I was charged exactly what he quoted and could pay by credit card, and received an invoice and payment confirmation by email right away.
It was my first time ever hiring a plumber so I don’t have a previous experience to compare it with – but I have to say, I was extremely impressed with Darren’s responsiveness, punctuality, and friendliness. I hear too often about huge wait-​times or no-​shows, and people being overcharged. It’s nice to know who to call if I ever need anything else fixed!

Great efficient and fast service. They were very nice people who are very trustworthy. I would not definitely recommend them!

I do not usually give 5 stars as my standards for service are quite high… but these folks were/​are amazing!
I contacted Yaletown Plumbing because our rental unit kitchen tap was not working properly. I tried to get parts through home depot and rona and neither of them had heard of the brand Teknobili before.
Frustrated I contacted Yaletown Plumbing through their website, they gave me a time for the appointment with a 30 mins window. They showed up on time with the appropriate part and were done before they said they would be. The amount they quoted me to do the repair is what they billed me.
They are honest, fair priced, reliable and friendly.
I will definitely use their service again if we need a plumber!

My booking request was confirmed quickly and I was able to schedule a time only a few days away. Darren arrived exactly on time and fixed my toilet within minutes. The cost was the same as quoted. I would definitely recommend Darren!

trustworthy, PUNCTUAL, reliable and respectful. this is the ONLY company I call whenever I have sink issues.

The most pleasant service — we would highly recommend Darren to friends and family.
We finally replaced the ugly kitchen faucet which was here when we bought the condo. Darren answered our email the same day, and came out the next day (today). He helped choose the best one of two we had purchased, and charged exactly the quoted amount. We were so pleased we offered a tip, which he refused.
We are very happy with his pleasant and professional style.

Darren responded to my initial e-​mail questions and request for a quote promptly and in a friendly manner. We booked a time in the near future and he was there as promised, even with the added request to call when he was en route so we could meet at the property.
Work was done quickly and professionally. The reasonable quote was bang on. Very glad to have found Yaletown Plumbing and will definitely use them again.

We needed a quick fix on our sink at work– Darren was there to fix it the next day. The website is excellent, was able to book and pay online. Darren returned my call promptly as well, and his invoice was exactly what he quoted. He was friendly and accommodating, and his work was excellent. No more leaks! I would highly recommend them!

I had a wonderful experience with Darren and would highly recommend Yaletown Plumbing.
He replied to my initial email promptly, was able to squeeze me in last minute, and gave me a competitive, fair quote.
He was on time, kind and approachable. Wonderful guy/​company.

We are having some work done on our home and needed some plumbing reattached (we are very good at taking things apart but not so adept at piecing them together again). I followed the advice of my fellow Unilocalers and they did not lead me astray!
Throughout the booking process Darren, the owner, was very kind and made sure to ask us questions to give us the most accurate estimate. The cost was very reasonable (about a ¹⁄₃ of what we had been quoted elsewhere). The online profile system allows you to upload photos of your work too, which helps them out a lot since if you’re a layperson like me, you don’t know any of the proper terms for what it is you want done exactly! A picture is always better!
Darren arrived right on time and within an hour everything was out back together, tested out and cleaned up. You can pay electronically (he brings an iPad) and by the time he’s driving away you have your invoice in your inbox and fresh piping to enjoy.
Definitely would recommend for any plumbing work and I would be sure to use them again!

Thursday night me and the girlfriend decided to clean the kitchen and found our garborator not working!
I emailed Darren Friday morning, got a response by noon and scheduled him for the following Saturday morning.
Darren was very friendly, professional, well priced and best of all fixed my garborator!
While he was here, I mentioned that our bathroom sink isn’t clearing out as well and he mentioned that for a small increased cost he can fix that and it would still include the garborator.
Ultimately I was very impressed.

Update: we had a second plumbing problem recently, and these guys came to our rescue in less than 24 hrs on christmas eve! very friendly, very quick service, super courteous.
i would recommend these guys to anyone i know, and will definitely use them again

Love these guys! I have called them on multiple occassions — in some cases hoping for same day service and they have always been able to oblige. Darren has fantastic customer service, is quick to respond, and so helpful. I recommend Yaletown Plumbing to everyone I know! This is a great example of a well run company providing a fantastic service!

I had a jammed garbage disposal and Unilocal lead me to these guys. Holy cow, best plumber I have ever dealt with, and I’ve dealt with my share.
Filled out the contact form; Darren got back to me within a few hours. He was super accommodating with my not-​very-​flexible schedule, and the day of the appointment, he was right on time. Worked fast, was super friendly, and accepted payment via his iPad (plus an instantly emailed receipt).
Call this guy.

Had an appointment with Chris this morning.
He was early, the service was excellent, and he walked me through every step of what he was doing.
Will definitely use\recommend these folks
