Plumbing Conditions Unique to New Westminster
New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in Metro Vancouver, with a high concentration of heritage homes, low-rise apartments, and aging municipal infrastructure. Many properties still rely on original clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, which are susceptible to root intrusion, corrosion, and blockages. Steep elevation changes throughout the city affect drainage flow and water pressure, while older buildings often require upgrades to meet modern plumbing standards—making inspections, drain cleaning, and preventative maintenance especially important.
