Common Issues in New Westminster
Century-Old Plumbing Systems
New Westminster homes from the 1900s–1940s may have galvanized pipe and cast-iron drainage systems at or well past end of life. We assess and replace these systems safely, with sensitivity to heritage structures and city regulations.
Heritage Radiator Boiler Systems
Hot-water radiator boiler systems are common in New Westminster's older housing. We service, repair, and where needed replace these systems — preserving radiant heat comfort with modern efficiency and reliability.
Aging Clay-Tile Sewer Infrastructure
New Westminster's oldest neighbourhoods have clay-tile sewer mains and service laterals that crack, shift, and attract root intrusion. Camera inspection is essential before any drain work in these historically complex areas.

Common Questions About Camera Inspection of Sewer Lines in New Westminster
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.
