Slow drains, gurgling sounds, foul odours, and water backing up in sinks, tubs, or floor drains are all signs your drains need professional cleaning. Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides thorough drain cleaning services for residential and commercial properties throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, and the Lower Mainland.
Unlike a DIY plunger or drain chemical, our professional drain cleaning equipment reaches deep into your pipes to remove blockages completely — not just punch a temporary hole through the clog. We use the right tool for each situation: mechanical snake for hair and soft blockages, hydro-jetting for grease and scale, and camera inspection to confirm results.

The local details below come from the New Westminster service-area profile and help place this drainage service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.
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.
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.
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.
Queen's Park is New Westminster's crown jewel — a neighbourhood of grand heritage homes, many built between 1890 and 1930. Plumbing systems in these homes can be extraordinary in their age: galvanized or even lead supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and early fixture configurations that require specialist knowledge to repair or replace sensitively. We treat every Queen's Park home with the respect these historic properties deserve.
Sapperton is one of New Westminster's industrial-heritage residential districts, with a mix of workers' cottages and post-war bungalows. The neighbourhood's clay-tile sewer infrastructure is among the city's oldest and most prone to root intrusion, joint separation, and partial pipe collapse. Camera inspection before any drain work in Sapperton is essential — we've found serious underground issues that saved homeowners from a much larger, reactive repair.
Queensborough sits on Lulu Island and has seen significant residential development since 2000 — newer townhomes and single-family homes on the island's north end. Drainage here requires careful attention due to the low-lying terrain and proximity to the Fraser River. Backflow prevention and proper drain slope are critical in Queensborough, and we assess both whenever we're called for drain service in this area.

We quickly and effectively remove stubborn clogs from your sinks, toilets, showers, and floor drains — using professional equipment that reaches deep into your pipes, not just hardware-store tools.
Our advanced hydro-jetting technology uses high-pressure water to clean and clear even the toughest clogs and debris from your pipes — thoroughly scouring pipe walls to remove grease, scale, and root debris.

Drain Cleaning Emergency in New Westminster?
(604) 365-0812A licensed technician answers every call — 24 hours a day.
Call NowSigns you need professional drain cleaning include: drains emptying more slowly than usual, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, foul or sewer-like odours from drains, water backing up in one fixture when another is used, or multiple slow drains simultaneously. If chemical drain cleaners have stopped working, it's time to call a professional.
Basic drain cleaning in Coquitlam typically starts at $150–$300 for a single drain. Main sewer line clearing with hydro-jetting costs more. We provide upfront pricing before work begins. Call (604) 365-0812 for a quote based on your specific situation.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes (especially older plastic or PVC), and repeated use can corrode pipe walls. They also create a hazard for our technicians when we need to work in the same drain. We recommend trying a drain snake or plunger first — and if those don't work, call us.
