I have very happily relied on Darren Mann at Yaletown Plumbing since 2014. He has responded to a wide variety of our plumbing needs at the condo over the years, including blocked toilet/ sinks, garburator issues and replacement of hoses. The quality of his service is exceptional and I have found his charges to be very reasonable. Darren is professionally friendly, responsive, on time (or immediately lets you if there might be a short delay). He is very knowledgeable on a variety of plumbing matters and explains things well. Going Beyond the Usual : Darren has gone out of his way to source replacement faucet for our obsolete faucet/challenging bathroom sink set up. Daren has also provided great preventive advice, e.g. noticing a bathroom toilet turn off tap that was at risk of failing- I sincerely wish I had been quicker to employ that advice. One weekend evening in early January, the toilet plugged, overflowed and shut off tap failed (as Darren suggested it might in the future). Yaletown Plumbing isn't open on the weekend. So I had to call the emergency services of different Vancouver plumbing company ( who will not be named here). The result was to pay almost $1000 (which included the most bizarre set of charges for a plumbing job) . Normally this would have cost a few hundred dollars. If Darren mentions or suggest some plumbing matter needs attention, take it to heart. You won't regret it. read more

Yaletown Plumbing is simply the best. I had a leak from my bathtub. Darren came in on Thursday, identified the problem, and said he needed to track down a replacement part. He returned on Monday with the part, and hey ho, within a couple of hours all told, the problem was solved. That was EASY!! read more

Great service and professionalism. Out cartridge for our shower broke and we called several plumbers that and they seemed not wanting to help whilst there was no fuzz with yaletown plumbing service. If I ever need a plumber again this is where I'll go. read more

My rental unit's kitchen sink was leaking and my friend referred me to Yaletown Plumbing as he has used Darren's services before and recommended him. The online scheduling was a breeze and I was also able to upload the photo my tenant sent me to assist with the diagnostics. Darren responded via email within an hour and was able to fit in a visit and repair/replace the sink today!! He also called me to go over what the charges may be to get my authorization prior to the visit so I that I was informed what the reason/cost may be. I hope to never have any plumbing issues in the future but if I do (knock on wood!), Yaletown plumbing would be my go-to! Thanks Darren :-) read more

I've used Darren for two different jobs in my home now and he's been very professional, helpful, and affordable. I would recommend him without any hesitation. read more

I am fortunate to be an existing customer. Darren is pleasant, punctual and informative. He always reviews the work required with you, and his rates are reasonable. He uses technology like online booking and provides great service. Best of both worlds. read more

I can't believe this business isn't reviewed here yet -- such an amazing, honest plumber. He was referred to us by our property management company who uses them to service their tenants. We moved out of our condo and needed to get a few things fixed in order to rent it. Darren (owner) came by and quickly fixed everything I needed ... and for an affordable price. He charges an hourly rate and doesn't charge any travel fee. On our bathroom sink, I thought I'd have to replace the drain. He advised that it was a costly option, but he made other less expensive adjustments that resolved the slow drain issue without needing to replace anything! Bottom line, he could have easily bilked me out of money, but didn't. I appreciated his attention to detail and focus on customer service. Will certainly use him again and highly recommend him. read more

Darren is the best!! I've used YT Plumbing for many years and always find Darren to be professional, efficient and reasonable. He takes the time to explain the issues and answers any and all questions. He was even available the next day to fix my kitchen sink problem which I am so thankful for! For any of your plumbing needs, call Yaletown Plumbing! read more

one of the bathroom of my rental unit doesn't have enough hot water so i book an appointment with Darren. he asked me show him the pics of the faucet and description of the issue, i did so. and he is able to quick provide me a quote and solution on weekend. i didn't on side on the schedule day as i have to be on a meeting so he dealing with my tenant directly. after the service, he provided me a detailed description of the issue and what he did to fix it, the final price is a bit higher than quote as he need to use 4 tile bits so he detailed write down the reason why he need it instead of just billing me a higher amount. i appreciate it as his behave is very professional and trustable. i had 2 plumber in before but not able to fix the problem i am glad this issue been fixed. read more

I had several things to repair or install in an apartement and I am totally satisfied with Darren's service. I have an account with him that makes it easy to send a request. He answers in a timely manner, shows up on time and does a work of the highest quality. He even fixed things that I had not seen needed fixing and those, if not fixed, could have caused a lot of problems. Darren is very fast too and does not make you spend money if you do not need to. An amazing guy who does an outstanding work! I fully recommend him to anyone who needs a good plumber. Thank you so much Darren for the magnificient work you do! read more

My kitchen sink was clogged and the pipe was also leaking a bit at 10 pm. I was a bit worried because of the leak. I found Yaletown Plumbing Services here and filled out booking request form at 1 am. Darren emailed me back in the morning and was able to fit me in quickly and helped me to fix the clog and the leak. The whole process was super smooth and Darren is such a friendly guy. He showed me what was wrong and answered all of my questions and explained in a way that I am able to understand without plumbing background. Without a doubt, I will contact them again in the future. Thanks YPS! read more

Wore a mask, showed up exactly when he said he would, friendly, efficient and quality work at a reasonable price.

Darren of Yaletown Plumbing is the best plumber I've ever worked with in my entire life! Professional, efficient, and extremely detail-oriented! What more can someone hope for in a plumber? This is the place to call. read more

This company - Darren is absolutely amazing - efficient, friendly - reasonable - and puts the customer as #1. I was blown away when I sent him an email for some work to be done (expecting I'd have to wait to get the work done) - I received a response to my email within a very short period of time advising that the work could be done the next day! I have used this company in the past and would not use anyone else or refer anyone else - Darren is the man to get the job done! Thanks read more

Darren is fabulous! He is very well organized-- he asks for a photo of the problem and provides a quote before booking the appointment. He is a real problem-solver, and so pleasant! Where has he been all my life? read more

If I could give Darren more than 5 starts, I would! We've been working with Darren for the last several years and he's always been done quality work, is always punctual, and he's nice to our girls too - 5 and 8 yrs old. You will not be disappointed with Darren! read more

Alright - so I joined Yelp JUST so that I could review these guys. Christian helped me swap out an old busted dishwasher for a brand new one I just bought. Live in a condo in downtown Vancouver. What can I say - they're as good as it gets. Great local business that takes pride in earning their customers through honest, quality service. Pros: -punctual -courteous and professional -know what they're doing -reasonable prices with no 'surprise' costs at the end of the appointment Cons: -hmm... none I can really think of. Seriously. read more

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 Yelpers 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! read more

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. read more

Darren is fantastic. To save time and money, he had me take pictures of my broken faucet. Did, he brought the right replacement and bingo, done! He is, as far as I know, a one man show who responds in a super quick manner. Highly recommended. read more

Just like Scott W., I can't say enough good things about these guys. I was getting my floors refinished, and Christian came out and pulled out my toilets, sink, and dishwasher, and then had to come out twice to put them back in when the re-sealing of my concrete floors & counters went more slowly than planned because of the rain. Christian was super helpful, pleasant, and flexible about the need for an extra visit. Yaletown plumbing was very upfront and direct about their costs and reasonably priced. I will use them again when I get around to doing my bathroom renos. Good trustworthy company. read more

Reviews don't lie! I cannot say enough nice things about this young man Darren, who made time to come over to my condo so quickly recently. The other night my shower drain clogged and backed up with all this disgusting dirty water, crud and anything else you can think of. I began freaking out and eventually found Yaletown Plumbing on Yelp and read all the nice reviews. Before I knew it after making initial contact through their website, I received a nice email back from Darren saying that he could come by the next day in the early afternoon. When Darren arrived, he was courteous, professional and humorous making an already stressful situation all the more comfortable. He quickly went to work on clearing the clog and gave me tips on how to prevent it again in the future. We chatted on and off while he worked, and it was just a very pleasant experience! At the end, he gave me my invoice which was reasonable and I was very happy to give him a nice tip on top of it all! Darren and Yaletown Plumbing are now my permanent plumbers for any future kitchen and bathroom repairs. Cheers! read more

I'm really glad I found out about Yaletown Plumbing Services on Yelp (thanks, fellow Yelpers!). 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! read more

Darren came by today and helped us out with a drain clog in our basement. He really is as fantastic as everyone on here has said. One of our biggest worries was ending up with a giant bill at the hands of someone trying to "help" us. This has happened before. We found him to be polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Also, very importantly, fair. Hard to find these days! read more

I went with this company strictly off of their great Yelp reviews and man did they ever live up to the "gospel" that is spread about them!! Extremely friendly and prompt service. The online booking system was a breeze and I got a quick response with an appointment time. I had "manhandled" my garburator by choking it with too many veggie scraps and Darren arrived to save the day, even rescheduling my appointment to a day earlier so that I could stop from having to wash my dishes in the bathtub. All my downtown Vancouver peeps need to use this company!! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again Darren for all your help!! read more

This is the 2nd time I have used Yaletown Plumbing and both times they were awesome. On time, explained what was going on, reported on what was fixed and emailed the invoice with details! Wow..... Both were major leaks and were fixed within the hour of Darren's arrival. The 2nd time I was out of town and Darren was kind enough to deal directly with my Tenant, fix the problem, phone me with details of what and why, and email me an invoice to pay rather than insisting I pay on the phone! They are definitely my go to Plumber for any jobs big or small. Thank you Darren and keep up he great work. You have created New breed of plumbers!! read more

Great pre visit service via website and email to collect info and provide quote on toilet repair. Arrived promptly with all required supplies for job which was carried out professionally and with some humour. I would not hesitate to recommend or use again. read more

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 read more

Darren is super! He was right on time and he knows what he's doing! Plus he is very friendly guy! I would call Yaletown Plumbing again, and recommend it to anyone that needs a plumber. Thanks again! read more

This company is exceptional. I recently scheduled an appointment with Darren and had my garburator replaced by Chris. They were both friendly, professional and great to work with. Darren provided me with an accurate quote for the installation and Chris was on time and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for the great service, Darren and Chris! I will not hesitate to contact them in the future and I will definitely be recommending this company to friends! read more

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 read more

It's simple. I called them and they didn't answer their phone. I left a clear voicemail message. Days later, they still hadn't called back. Maybe they're busy, who knows. But the lack of a courtesy call doesn't bode well. I went with http://www.yelp.ca/biz/k-cs-plumbing-and-heating-vancouver instead who did a great job. P.S. Thanks to the owner who wrote the update, below. Classy response. :-) read more

Consistently friendly, professional and efficient service. Easy, responsive communication and online booking. Appropriate Covid-19 precautions. Highly recommend. read more

I am as pleased as I can be with Darren and his work today. On time, fast and the price was reasonable. I don't recommend many services but this guy is A one in my books. Thanks Darren. read more

This is Cynthia W. posting a review for the first time on Yelp, for an outstanding job done by Darren! He was able to come in almost an hour earlier than scheduled time (called and made sure someone's home, of course), swapped out our broken garburator in a clean, quick, very professional manner, and was also very pleasant to converse with. Not your average plumber, he is clearly very intelligent to be able to perform the way he does. Recommending him to our friends and landlady and anyone who needs a good plumber in the area. He works hard for a very fair price because he is a balanced person who has goals and dreams! If you're still debating or asking around, save yourself the hassle and just book him on his website. read more

Came days earlier than originally scheduled. Masked up. Polite, courteous, professional. Darren is a pro. Definitely will use again.

I don't know why Yelp pushed my review down to the trash area. Darren Mann is a great plumber and the toilet's still working strong at my uncle's place. The other guys who put the previous equipment in used crappy pieces from like the discount bin and Mr. Mann put the good stuff in and even gave a senior's discount. Go to this joint! read more

Darren has been most helpful. His emails are courteous and efficient. Although I did not get chance to work with him as I found a plumber able to come in last minute. I would highly recommend him. Thank you. Lily read more

Excellent service from start to finish. Signing up and booking appointments is a breeze. Estimation was spot on and service (unplugging drain and unsticking garburator) was on time and efficient. Price-wise it's totally reasonable. It's obvious that the owner (Darren) is highly knowledgeable and great at explaining what the root problems are. I wouldn't hesitate to call this company in the future. read more
