Where the Mountains Meet the Inlet, You Need Plumbers Who Know the Terrain
Port Moody wraps around the eastern end of Burrard Inlet, where forested hillsides drop down to the waterfront. Known as the "City of the Arts," this community of over 35,000 residents balances rapid urban development with environmental stewardship. Over 41 streams flow through Port Moody to Burrard Inlet, and the city has received international recognition for its liveable, nature-focused approach.
Ark Plumbing & Heating serves all of Port Moody. We work on modern high-rises in Inlet Centre, established character homes in Glenayre and College Park, hillside properties throughout Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods, and waterfront developments near Rocky Point Park. From older homes built in the 1950s to brand-new SkyTrain-adjacent condos, we handle it all.

Understanding Port Moody's Housing Stock
Port Moody developed in distinct waves, leaving behind neighbourhoods with very different housing character.
The western neighbourhoods of Glenayre and College Park contain some of Port Moody's oldest housing stock. The Glenayre development began in the late 1950s with single-family homes on curving streets. Many properties in these areas date from the 1950s through 1970s, featuring larger lots, mature trees, and mid-century architecture. Homes from this era may have original plumbing that's reaching the end of its lifespan.
Heritage Mountain and Heritage Woods developed primarily from the 1990s onward, offering newer single-family homes on the hillside with stunning inlet views. These neighbourhoods feature contemporary construction with modern plumbing systems, though even properties built 20-30 years ago may need updates.
Moody Centre represents the historic heart of Port Moody, where the first transcontinental train arrived in 1886. This area has undergone significant transformation, mixing heritage character homes with new condo towers near the SkyTrain stations. Plumbing in this neighbourhood spans the full spectrum from century-old to brand new.
Inlet Centre, Newport Village, and Suter Brook Village showcase Port Moody's recent high-density development. These modern communities feature condos, townhomes, and mixed-use buildings with contemporary plumbing systems. High-rise buildings present their own maintenance requirements and access considerations.
Ioco, on the north shore near Buntzen Lake, offers a unique mix of heritage properties and newer developments in a more secluded setting, close to Belcarra Regional Park and the wilderness beyond.

Poly-B Repipe
Homes built between 1978 and 1995 throughout Port Moody may contain Poly-B piping. This grey plastic pipe is prone to cracking and sudden failure. Properties in College Park, Glenayre, and parts of Moody Centre built during this era are most likely to have Poly-B. We replace it with modern PEX systems backed by 25-year warranties. Full assessment, clear pricing, minimal disruption, complete restoration.

Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, recurring clogs, and sewer backups need professional solutions. Store-bought drain cleaners damage your pipes and rarely fix the underlying problem. We use professional equipment including camera inspection and hydro-jetting to locate and clear blockages. Port Moody's heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems, making professional maintenance especially important.
