Common Issues in Coquitlam
Poly-B Pipe Failure
Thousands of Coquitlam homes built before 1995 have polybutylene piping. These grey plastic pipes are prone to sudden failure and may affect your home insurance. We specialize in Poly-B assessment and full replacement throughout Coquitlam.
Tree Root Sewer Intrusion
Coquitlam's mature neighbourhoods have well-established trees whose roots routinely find their way into aging sewer lines. Camera inspection confirms the cause; hydro-jetting removes the intrusion and restores full flow.

Westwood Plateau and other Coquitlam strata communities have shared boiler and hydronic heating systems. Our technicians service all makes and models found in Coquitlam's townhome market, coordinating with strata councils when needed.

Common Questions About Camera Inspection of Sewer Lines in Coquitlam
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Coquitlam?
A sewer camera inspection in Coquitlam typically costs $250–$450 depending on the length of the line and accessibility. For pre-purchase inspections, this investment can save thousands by identifying problems before you close. Call (604) 365-0812 for current pricing.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home in Coquitlam?
Yes — especially for homes built before 1990. Older Coquitlam homes may have clay or cast-iron sewer lines that are prone to root intrusion, cracking, and joint failure. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection can reveal these issues before you buy, giving you negotiating leverage or saving you from a costly surprise.
What can a sewer camera inspection find in Coquitlam homes?
A sewer camera inspection can identify tree root intrusion, pipe cracks and fractures, offset or separated joints, grease or scale buildup, bellied pipes (low spots that collect debris), foreign object blockages, and overall pipe condition. It gives you a definitive picture of what's inside your sewer line.
Do you provide a video recording of the sewer inspection?
Yes — we can provide a video recording of the sewer camera inspection for your records. This is valuable for home purchase documentation, insurance claims, strata disputes, or future reference when planning sewer repairs.
