Our team proudly serves homeowners and businesses throughout the city with comprehensive plumbing services that Langley residents can trust. We also serve homeowners in Walnut Grove, Murrayville, Brookswood, Fort Langley, Aldergrove, and Willoughby-Willowbrook. Whether you are dealing with a slow drain, a leaking pipe, or a complete system overhaul, our licensed plumbers have the training and equipment to handle it.
Fort Langley's heritage homes often have plumbing systems dating back 50 to 100 years, with cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and unique challenges such as shallow foundations and limited crawlspace access. Walnut Grove's housing stock from the 1990s and 2000s frequently contains Poly-B piping and builder-grade fixtures nearing the end of their service life. Each Langley neighbourhood has distinct plumbing characteristics, and our team knows what to expect before we arrive.
We offer a full range of residential plumbing and commercial plumbing services, including repair, installation, and maintenance. From simple fixture repairs to complete plumbing systems design and installation, we provide plumbing solutions tailored to your home or business. Every service we provide is built on the same foundation: honest diagnosis, transparent pricing, and workmanship you trust. Financing options are available for larger plumbing projects, so the cost of protecting your home does not have to come all at once.
Residential Plumbing Repairs for Langley Homes
A dripping faucet is not a minor annoyance. Behind the drip is a worn-out washer, a corroded valve seat, or a failing cartridge getting worse with time. A constantly running toilet wastes thousands of litres of water over a few months and quietly drives up your utility bill. These issues are easy to put off and costly to ignore.
Our Langley plumbers diagnose the root cause of the problem, not the symptom you see on the surface. Whether it is a leaking pipe joint behind a wall, a water heater no longer heating efficiently, low water pressure caused by mineral buildup in older supply lines, a jammed garbage disposal, or a toilet running constantly, we identify what is going on, explain it in plain language, and give you options to fix it properly. We handle everything from water heater repair and replacement, boiler repair, toilet and faucet issues, garbage disposal repair and installation, to pipe repairs and full repiping.
Many homes in the Langley area built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s were plumbed with polybutylene piping, often called Poly-B. This grey, flexible pipe was popular at the time but has a well-documented history of becoming brittle and failing, especially at fittings and connections. You can identify whether your home has Poly-B by looking for a grey plastic pipe in your crawlspace, basement, or near your water heater. If your home falls within this age range, a plumbing inspection can determine whether Poly-B is present and whether replacement is recommended before a failure causes water damage.
Professional Drain Cleaning in Langley
A slow drain is more than an inconvenience and is one of the most common plumbing calls we receive here in Langley. When water takes longer to clear from your sink, tub, or shower, the buildup is narrowing the inside of the pipe. Left alone, a slow drain becomes a full blockage, and a full blockage leads to water backing up into your home. Kitchen sink clogs usually start with grease poured down the drain, cooling and solidifying in the pipe.
Bathroom sink and tub clogs are almost always hair mixed with soap residue, forming a mat blocking flow. Toilet clogs happen when items other than waste and toilet paper go down the drain. Each type of clogged drain needs a different approach. Chemical drain cleaners promise a quick fix but often damage pipes, especially older cast iron or galvanized lines, and they do not work on grease clogs or hair mats deeper in the system. A plumber uses the right tool for the specific blockage, whether it is a cable auger for hair clogs, a closet auger for toilet blockages, or HydroScrub® Jetting for grease buildup.
Not every slow drain is a clog. If you hear gurgling from one fixture when another is draining, or if water drains slowly but there is no visible blockage, the issue could be in your drain venting system rather than the pipe itself. Every drain in your home connects to a vent pipe, allowing air into the system so water flows smoothly. When a vent is partially blocked by debris, it creates negative pressure, slowing drainage and pulling water out of nearby traps. This is also what can cause the sewer smell some homeowners notice in bathrooms or basements. Pouring chemical drain cleaner into a vent problem will not help and will damage your pipes. A plumber tests whether the issue is a blockage, a vent restriction, or both, and fixes the actual cause.
Professional drain cleaning service in Langley goes beyond store-bought solutions. When you call a plumber for drain cleaning, we start by identifying the blockage location and type. A cable auger (also called a drain snake) works well for hair clogs, soap buildup, and localized blockages within 50 feet of the drain opening. For tougher clogs deeper in your system, hydro jetting is the most effective drain cleaning method. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour the inside of the pipe completely clean, removing years of grease buildup, scale, and debris. The process also clears tree roots from sewer lines. Hydro jetting works on all pipe materials and leaves your drains flowing like new. We perform a camera inspection before hydro jetting to confirm the pipe is intact and will not be damaged by the pressure. If the problem turns out to be structural rather than a simple clog, we offer sewer line repair options.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement Services
When a single drain in your home is slow, the problem is usually local to one fixture. When multiple drains are sluggish at the same time, or when water backs up through a basement floor drain after you run the washing machine, the issue is likely in your main sewer line. Other signs include wet, soft, or unusually green patches in your yard (especially along the path between your home and the street), a persistent sewage smell outside, or sinkholes forming near the foundation. These symptoms point to a break, a belly (a low spot in the pipe where water and debris collect), or a root intrusion in the main sewer line.
Your main sewer line is the pipe connecting your home's plumbing to the municipal sewer system, and it is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain it. Over time, sewer lines develop cracks from ground shifting, become blocked by tree root intrusion, or deteriorate due to age and material. Older clay or cast iron sewer pipes in established Langley neighbourhoods are especially prone to these issues.
We use sewer camera inspections to see exactly what is happening inside the line before recommending any work. If repair is needed, our trenchless sewer line repair is often a viable option to restore the line without excavating your property. For situations requiring excavation, we handle the full scope of work from diagnosis through to completion.
Water Heater, Heating System, and Heat Pump Services in Langley
Your water heater works quietly in the background until it stops. When your morning shower turns cold, or you notice rust-coloured water coming from the hot tap, it is time to have a professional take a look. Tank-style water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, depending on maintenance and water conditions. Tankless units generally last longer but still require periodic descaling and maintenance to perform efficiently.
Inside every tank-style water heater sits a component called the anode rod, a metal rod designed to corrode so your tank does not. Think of it as a sacrificial part attracting corrosive elements in your water and protecting the steel lining of the tank. Once the anode rod is fully corroded, the tank itself starts to rust from the inside out. Langley's municipal water is soft (approximately 0.2 grains per gallon according to City of Langley data published by Aquatell), which is gentle on your fixtures but more aggressive on anode rods than moderately hard water. The rod wears out faster than you would expect. Having a plumber check the anode rod every 2 to 3 years is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Our Langley plumbers service, repair, and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, as well as boilers. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, we walk you through your replacement options, including energy-efficient models reducing your utility costs. Financing is available for water heater and heating system replacements, so you do not have to go without hot water or heat while you figure out the budget.
Hot Water Tank Installation and Repair in Langley
When your hot water tank fails, you need a replacement fast. Most Langley homes use 40 to 60-gallon hot water tanks, and the right size depends on how many people live in your home and your peak usage patterns. Undersized tanks mean you run out of hot water during back-to-back showers. Oversized tanks waste energy heating water you do not use. Our plumbers assess your household needs, explain the difference between standard efficiency and high-efficiency models, and handle the full hot water tank installation, including removal of the old unit, proper venting, code-compliant connections, and disposal. For hot water tank repairs, we diagnose issues like inconsistent temperature, rumbling sounds, pilot light problems, and pressure relief valve leaks. Plumber tip: if your hot water tank is leaking from the bottom, do not wait. The tank has corroded through, and replacement is the only safe option.
Water Line Repair and Replacement in Langley
Your water line brings fresh water from the municipal connection or your well into your home. When the water line develops a leak, you notice wet spots in your yard, a sudden spike in your water bill, or a drop in pressure throughout the house. Older water lines made from galvanized steel or outdated materials corrode over time, and ground shifting cracks rigid pipes. For water line replacement, we use durable materials designed to last decades and meet current code requirements.
If you suspect you have a leak in your water main, give us a call. One of our licensed plumbers can assess your property’s needs and recommend repair or replacement. If a replacement is required, ask about our trenchless replacement option. In many cases, we can replace a water main without disrupting your landscaping.
Leak Detection Services in Langley
Not all leaks are visible. When you notice a spike in your water bill, hear running water when all fixtures are off, or see unexplained wet spots without an obvious source, you have a hidden leak. Leak detection requires specialized equipment and training. Our Langley plumbers use acoustic listening devices to hear water escaping under pressure. Common hidden leak locations include slab leaks (pipes under concrete foundations), leaks behind finished walls, leaks in crawlspaces, and underground water line leaks between the meter and your home. Early leak detection saves you money by catching problems before they cause structural damage, mold growth, or foundation issues.
Well and Septic System Services
The Township of Langley is one of the few municipalities in the Lower Mainland relying heavily on groundwater, and thousands of homes in rural and semi-rural areas depend on private wells and septic systems. These systems require specialized knowledge.
Our team provides well pump repair and replacement, water quality testing support, and complete septic system services, including installation, pumping, drain field service, and repair. If your well pump is cycling on and off frequently, your water pressure has dropped, or you are noticing wet spots in your yard near the septic field, those are signs that something needs professional attention sooner rather than later.
Commercial Plumbing Services in Langley
A plumbing problem at your business affects your customers, your employees, and your bottom line. Commercial plumbing systems handle higher volumes and more complex configurations than residential systems, and they require plumbers who understand the difference. Our Langley team services restaurants, retail spaces, offices, and multi-unit properties with the same standard of care we bring to every home. This includes grease trap installation for food service businesses, high-capacity drain cleaning, and water heater service for commercial units. We work efficiently to minimize downtime for your business and keep your operations running.
