Faucet and Fixture Installation
Leaking faucets waste water. They damage cabinets. Old fixtures look dated.
When to Repair
- Drips from the spout
- Leaks from the handle base
- Low water pressure from mineral buildup
- Loose or wobbling handles
When to Replace
- Severe corrosion on the finish
- Cracked ceramic components
- Outdated style or poor function
- Repairs cost more than a new unit
Installation Steps
- Shut off the water supply valves.
- Disconnect the supply lines.
- Remove the old faucet or fixture.
- Clean the sink surface.
- Install the new unit using fresh gaskets.
- Connect the water lines tightly.
- Turn the water back on.
- Check for leaks immediately.
- Flush the lines for one minute.
We install faucets in South Vancouver and Main St. We also help customers in South Main St and Kerrisdale.
Condo and Strata Maintenance
Living in a condo requires special care. You must follow strata bylaws. This is true in Yaletown and the West End.
Unit Owner Responsibilities
- Interior plumbing fixtures
- Light fixtures and switches
- Appliances and laundry machines
- Drywall and interior paint
- Flooring and baseboards
Strata Responsibilities
- Building exterior and roof
- Common hallways and elevators
- Window frames and glass
- Balcony membranes and railings
Always check your bylaws before starting work. Do not drill into exterior walls. Do not modify window frames.
Portable AC Vent Kits
Vancouver summers are getting hotter. Most condos do not allow window AC units. Portable AC units are the solution.
Venting Solutions
- Use a window vent kit for sliding windows.
- Use a door vent kit for balcony doors.
- Choose a plexiglass insert for a cleaner look.
- Avoid permanent modifications to the frame.
Installation Tips
- Measure the window or door opening.
- Cut the vent panel to fit.
- Secure the panel without screws.
- Connect the exhaust hose to the AC.
- Seal the edges with weatherstripping.
- Test for air leaks.
We set up portable AC kits in UBC and the West End. Stay cool without breaking strata rules.
