Plumbing Services in Port Coquitlam
Leak Detection and Repair
Not every leak makes itself obvious. Some show up as a water stain on your ceiling weeks after the damage has started. Others quietly push up your water bill month after month before you notice something's wrong. Our Port Coquitlam plumbers use professional leak detection equipment to find the source without tearing apart your home unnecessarily.
We repair all types of leaks, dripping faucets, failing supply lines, pinhole leaks in copper pipe, leaking toilets, and more complex issues like slab leaks or leaks behind finished walls. Older homes in PoCo, particularly those built in the 1970s and 1980s, often have copper pipe that's reached the end of its life. We can assess what you're dealing with and give you an honest recommendation, whether that's a targeted repair or something more comprehensive.
Repiping and Poly B Pipe Replacement
If your Port Coquitlam home was built between roughly 1978 and 1995, there's a real chance it has Poly B (polybutylene) pipe running through it. This grey plastic pipe was widely used across the Tri-Cities during that era and has since proven to be a liability. It becomes brittle over time, fails without much warning, and many insurance companies in BC are now reluctant to cover homes that still have it, or they're charging significantly higher premiums.
KCs Plumbing has completed hundreds of Poly B replacements throughout the lower mainland. We replace your existing supply lines with modern PEX or copper pipe, working efficiently through occupied homes to minimize disruption. If you're not sure whether your home has Poly B, we can assess your system and let you know exactly where you stand.
Full home repiping is also something we handle when a home's entire plumbing system has reached the end of its useful life. It's a bigger project, but it's done right, it puts years of plumbing problems behind you for good.
Concerned about Poly B or leaking pipes? Call 604-873-3753 for an honest assessment.
Hot Water Tank and Tankless Water Heater Services
A failing hot water tank rarely gives you much notice. One day you've got hot water, and the next you don't, or worse, you've got water pooling on your utility room floor. KCs Plumbing services, repairs, and replaces all major brands of gas, electric, and power-vented hot water tanks throughout Port Coquitlam.
Most tanks have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years. If yours is getting close to that age and showing signs of trouble, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, rusty water, or moisture around the base, it's worth getting it looked at before it fails completely. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the smarter move.
If you're open to making a change, tankless water heaters are worth considering. They heat water on demand rather than storing it, which means you're not paying to keep a tank warm around the clock. They also last significantly longer than traditional tanks, often 20 years or more with proper maintenance. We install and service all major tankless brands and can walk you through whether it's the right fit for your home and family size.

Drain Cleaning and Perimeter Drain Services
Slow drains are one of those things people put up with longer than they should. By the time a drain is fully blocked, there's usually a fair bit of buildup behind it. Our drain cleaning technicians clear blockages in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, floor drains, and laundry lines using professional power augers that go where DIY solutions can't reach.
For Port Coquitlam homeowners, perimeter drains deserve special attention. Many properties in PoCo, particularly those in lower-lying areas near the Pitt River and the Coquitlam River floodplain, deal with groundwater pressure that puts real stress on foundation drainage systems. If your perimeter drains haven't been cleaned in the last two to three years, or if you've noticed any dampness in your basement after heavy rain, it's worth having them looked at.
KCs Plumbing Heating and Drains offers professional hydro jetting service that thoroughly cleans perimeter drain lines using high-pressure water. Unlike snaking, which punches a hole through a clog, hydro jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe and removes years of accumulated silt and root intrusion. It's the most effective way to restore your drainage system and protect your foundation.
Clogged drains or a wet basement? Call 604-873-3753 — we'll get it sorted.
Serving Port Coquitlam Since 1993
PoCo is a city that's changed a lot over the decades. What started as a river port at the meeting of the Fraser, Coquitlam, and Pitt Rivers grew into a tight-knit suburban community of around 60,000 people. The housing stock reflects that history, older bungalows and split-levels in established neighbourhoods like Mary Hill and Birchland Manor sit alongside newer townhome developments in Riverwood and Oxford Heights.
KCs Plumbing has been working in Port Coquitlam since 1993, which means we've seen how these homes age. We know the pipe materials that were common in different eras of construction here. We know which areas deal with higher water table issues and which neighbourhoods have older clay sewer laterals that need more attention. That local knowledge isn't something you get from a company that treats Port Coquitlam as just another pin on a service area map.
We've built our reputation in PoCo the old-fashioned way, by showing up on time, doing good work, and being straight with people about what they need and what they don't.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all neighbourhoods in Port Coquitlam? Yes. KCs Plumbing serves all areas of Port Coquitlam, including Birchland Manor, Mary Hill, Oxford Heights, Citadel Heights, Riverwood, Lincoln Park, and the downtown core. If you're in PoCo, we can get to you.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured? All of our plumbers are fully licensed with the Province of BC, and our heating technicians hold current gas fitting credentials. KCs Plumbing and Heating is fully insured, so you're covered when we work in your home.
What counts as a plumbing emergency, and can you really come at night? If water is actively leaking, you've lost hot water in winter, your sewer is backing up, or anything feels urgent, that's an emergency. Call us at 604-873-3753 at any hour. Someone answers, and we dispatch accordingly. We don't charge you just for calling.
How do I know if my home has Poly B pipe? Poly B pipe is grey, flexible plastic tubing, usually found in utility rooms near the hot water tank or where supply lines connect to fixtures. Homes built between roughly 1978 and 1995 in Port Coquitlam are the most likely to have it. If you're not sure, we can take a look and confirm.
How often should perimeter drains be cleaned? Every two to three years is a reasonable interval for most Port Coquitlam homes. If you have large trees near your foundation, clay soil, or have noticed any basement moisture, more frequent cleaning is worth considering.
Do you offer free estimates? We provide free estimates for most plumbing and heating projects. For diagnostic or troubleshooting work, there may be a service call fee, but it applies toward the cost of the repair if you proceed with us.
Do you work on commercial properties in Port Coquitlam? Yes. In addition to residential work, KCs Plumbing and Heating services commercial properties, strata buildings, and light industrial facilities throughout Port Coquitlam and the broader Tri-Cities area.
