Renovation & New Construction Plumbing in New Westminster
Reliable rough-in and finish plumbing for your renovation or new build.
New Westminster's oldest homes — some dating to the early 1900s — may still have galvanized steel water lines and cast-iron drain systems. Replacing these systems requires care and expertise with heritage properties. Our New Westminster plumbers are experienced in this type of sensitive, complex pipe replacement work, and we treat historic homes with the respect they deserve.

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 Renovation & New Construction Plumbing in New Westminster
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.
