Concrete Work for Plumbing Projects in Vancouver & Burnaby

Why Plumbing Projects Require Concrete Work

Many plumbing repairs and installations in Vancouver and Burnaby require cutting through or removing concrete — basement floors for floor drain installation, driveways for water main replacement, sidewalks for sewer connections, and foundations for perimeter drain systems. HYDROPRO PLUMBING & WATER LTD handles all concrete work in-house, so you get one contractor managing the entire project from start to finish.

Concrete Services We Provide

Concrete Cutting

Precision diamond-blade sawcutting creates clean, straight edges for plumbing access. We cut basement floors for drain installation, foundation walls for pipe penetrations, sidewalks and driveways for underground utility access, and curbs for new service connections. Clean cuts minimize the area of concrete removed and produce better-looking restorations.

Concrete Breaking & Removal

When pipes run beneath concrete slabs, we carefully break and remove the necessary sections using electric and pneumatic breakers. We control the demolition area to minimize damage to surrounding surfaces and remove all debris from your property.

Concrete Pouring & Restoration

After plumbing work is complete, we restore all concrete surfaces to match the existing finish as closely as possible. This includes:

• Basement floor patches — level, smooth finish with proper slope toward floor drains
• Driveway sections — matching thickness, finish texture, and expansion joints
• Sidewalk panels — poured to municipal standards for public right-of-way
• Foundation repairs — structural patching with appropriate concrete mix and reinforcement
• Curb and gutter sections — restored to City of Vancouver and Burnaby standards

Common Projects Requiring Concrete Work

• Water main replacement — driveway and sidewalk cutting for new water service line
• Sewer line repair — basement floor or yard concrete removal to access buried sewer pipes
• Perimeter drain installation — foundation wall and footing excavation
• Floor drain installation — basement slab cutting for new drain and piping
• Sump pump installation — concrete removal for sump pit and discharge piping
• Backwater valve installation — basement floor access to sewer clean-out

Our Approach to Concrete Work

We treat concrete restoration as seriously as the plumbing work itself. Poor concrete work leaves you with uneven surfaces, cracks, and tripping hazards. Our process ensures proper subgrade compaction before pouring, correct concrete mix for the application (interior vs. exterior, load-bearing vs. cosmetic), adequate curing time before the surface is put back in service, and clean jobsite with all debris hauled away.

When extensive concrete restoration is needed, particularly for driveways and sidewalks, we may recommend asphalt restoration as a cost-effective alternative. See completed projects in our gallery.
