Three Communities. One Plumbing Team That Knows Them All
Delta isn't one neighbourhood. It's three distinct communities separated by farmland, highways, and completely different housing stock. Ladner's heritage fishing village. Tsawwassen's sunny beachside homes. North Delta's established family neighbourhoods. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.
Ark Plumbing & Heating serves all of Delta. We understand that a 1920s character home in Ladner Village needs a different approach than a 1970s split-level in North Delta or a newer build in Tsawwassen. Our licensed plumbers handle everything from aging galvanized pipes in heritage properties to modern high-efficiency systems in recent construction.

Understanding Delta's Housing Stock
Delta's three communities developed at different times, and that history determines what's inside your walls today.
Ladner is the oldest. Some homes near the village core date back nearly a century. These heritage properties often have galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded from the inside out, restricting water flow and discolouring water. Original cast iron drain lines may be cracked or root-damaged. Renovations over the decades sometimes created patchwork plumbing that mixes materials and methods from different eras.
North Delta exploded after the Alex Fraser Bridge opened in 1986, though significant development started in the 1960s and continued through the 1990s. If your North Delta home was built between 1978 and 1995, there's a good chance you have Poly-B piping. This grey plastic pipe was marketed as a copper alternative but has proven prone to cracking and sudden failure. Check under your sinks and near your water heater. Grey pipe means it's time for an assessment.
Tsawwassen saw steady growth after the ferry terminal opened in 1960. Housing here ranges from mid-century ranchers to modern construction. The English Bluff and Boundary Beach areas feature larger estate homes with complex plumbing systems including outdoor kitchens, pool equipment, and irrigation.

We handle residential plumbing and heating across Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta. One call covers everything.
Poly-B Repipe
North Delta homes built during the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s often contain Poly-B piping that's now reaching failure age. We replace failing Poly-B with modern PEX systems backed by 25-year warranties. Complete assessment, transparent pricing, minimal wall damage, full restoration. We handle the insurance paperwork too.

Furnace Service & Repair
Delta winters are milder than most of BC, but your furnace still runs hard from November through March. We service and repair all makes and models, from older units in Ladner heritage homes to high-efficiency systems in newer Tsawwassen construction. Annual maintenance prevents mid-winter breakdowns.

Gasfitting Installations & Repairs
Our licensed gasfitters handle gas line installations, appliance hookups, BBQ connections, fire pit installations, and gas leak repairs. Delta properties frequently feature gas fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pool heaters, and patio heaters. Gas work requires proper licensing. Don't trust it to a handyman.

Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, recurring clogs, and sewer backups need professional diagnosis. Store-bought drain cleaners damage pipes and rarely solve the underlying problem. We use professional equipment including camera inspection and hydro-jetting to locate and clear blockages properly. Delta's mature trees mean root intrusion is a common culprit.
