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 Water Heaters in Coquitlam
How long does a water heater last in Coquitlam?
Most residential tank water heaters in Coquitlam last 8–12 years. Factors that reduce lifespan include high mineral content in the water (shortening anode rod life), insufficient water pressure, and infrequent flushing. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing signs of rust or leaking, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
My hot water heater is leaking — is it an emergency?
A leaking water heater should be addressed same day. Turn off the cold water supply inlet at the top of the tank and turn the gas valve to "pilot" (for gas units) or shut off the breaker (for electric). Call us at (604) 365-0812 — we offer same-day water heater replacement for most Coquitlam and Tri-Cities addresses.
How much does a new water heater cost in Coquitlam?
Installed water heater costs in Coquitlam typically range from $1,200–$2,500 for a standard tank unit, depending on size and fuel type. Tankless units cost more but offer long-term energy savings. We provide upfront quotes before any work — call (604) 365-0812.
Should I get a tank or tankless water heater in Coquitlam?
Both are excellent options. Tank water heaters have a lower upfront cost and are straightforward to replace. Tankless units provide endless hot water and use 15–30% less energy, but cost more upfront and may require a gas line upgrade. We can assess your home's hot water demand and recommend the right solution.
