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.
Townhouse & Strata Heating Systems
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 Renovation & New Construction Plumbing in Coquitlam
Do I need a plumbing permit for a bathroom renovation in Coquitlam?
In Coquitlam, a plumbing permit is required for new rough-in plumbing, relocating drain or supply lines, or adding new fixtures that require new connections. Cosmetic upgrades like replacing a faucet or toilet typically do not require a permit. We handle permit applications on your behalf when needed.
Can you do the plumbing for a basement suite in Coquitlam?
Yes — basement suite plumbing is one of our specialties. We install the full drain and supply system for a new bathroom and kitchen, pull the required permits from the City of Coquitlam, and coordinate with your general contractor. Basement suite plumbing typically takes 2–5 days depending on complexity.
