Learn moreNew Westminster's century-old clay-tile and early concrete sewer systems are among the most challenging drainage environments in the Lower Mainland. Tree roots, joint separation, and pipe collapse are common in Sapperton and Uptown. We always perform camera inspection before recommending drainage work in New Westminster's historic neighbourhoods.
For any blocked or slow drain, we recommend camera inspection before clearing. It shows exactly what's causing the problem — roots, grease, pipe damage, or simple buildup — so we can address the root cause, not just the symptom.
Depending on the cause, we use high-pressure hydro-jetting for root intrusion and heavy buildup, or mechanical snake clearing for softer blockages. Both are effective — we choose based on what the camera shows.
After clearing, we confirm the drain is flowing freely. If camera inspection revealed pipe damage, we advise on repair options before leaving.
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.
