Accountability & Trust
Westrim scores well for accountability and trust. They have been in business for 36 years, and they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. They have not had any complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau over the past 3 years. The average plumbing company in Greater Vancouver has had 1 complaint over the same time frame.
Westrim is also accredited by the Better Business Bureau which we believe is important to create accountability. Presently, only 50% of Greater Vancouver’s plumbers are accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
Online Reviews
In regard to ratings and reviews found on the internet, the company does fairly well with decent reviews on Yelp, Google, and HomeStars. We were concerned to see some unnatural patterns in their reviews online. This can sometimes happen when plumbing companies encourage a lot of their most delighted clients to leave a review for the company on specific sites.
Warranties & Satisfaction Guarantee
Westrim Plumbing & Heating Ltd.

102 – 11800 River Road

We believe it is very important that every plumber assure the quality of their work in some way. The most common ways to do this are with a parts and labour warranty and sometimes – in the best cases – with a satisfaction guarantee on top of all this. A satisfaction guarantee assures you, the one footing the bill, that the work you pay for is not finished until you’re satisfied that it’s done.
Westrim has not publicly released any information about supplying clients with a specific warranty or satisfaction guarantee.
