Understanding Surrey's Housing Stock
Surrey's growth during the 1980s and 1990s created a housing boom that shaped the city we see today. Neighbourhoods like Newton, Fleetwood, and parts of Guildford were rapidly developed to accommodate families moving south of the Fraser River.
This era of construction coincided with the widespread use of Poly-B (polybutylene) piping, a grey plastic pipe that was cheaper and faster to install than copper. At the time, it seemed like a practical solution. Today, we know better.
An estimated 200,000+ homes across British Columbia still contain Poly-B plumbing systems, with a significant concentration right here in Surrey. These pipes, now 30-40 years old, are reaching the end of their functional lifespan. Many have already begun to fail, causing flooding, water damage, and insurance complications for homeowners.
If your Surrey home was built between 1978 and 1995, there's a strong possibility you have Poly-B pipes. We've helped hundreds of Surrey homeowners identify and replace this problematic piping before catastrophic failure and before insurance companies refuse coverage.

Surrey Neighbourhoods We Serve
Surrey is really six cities in one. Each town centre has its own character, housing stock, and plumbing considerations. We provide fast, reliable service to every corner of Surrey:
Whalley & City Centre: Surrey's downtown core, featuring a mix of older single-family homes, aging apartment buildings, and new high-rise developments. Plumbing here ranges from 1950s-era systems to brand-new construction.
Newton: One of Surrey's largest and most diverse neighbourhoods. Substantial housing growth during the 1980s means a high concentration of homes with Poly-B piping now requiring replacement.
Guildford: Established residential area with well-maintained homes. Common issues include aging hot water tanks, original galvanized supply lines, and heating system upgrades.
Fleetwood: Family-oriented community with homes primarily built from the 1970s through 1990s. Poly-B replacement and furnace upgrades are frequent service calls here.
Cloverdale: Historic heart of Surrey with housing stock ranging from heritage homes to new infill development. Cloverdale's proximity to the agricultural land reserve means some properties have unique well and septic considerations.
South Surrey: Premium residential area including Grandview Heights, Morgan Creek, and Rosemary Heights. Larger homes often feature complex plumbing systems including multiple water heaters, radiant heating, and high-end fixtures.
Additional Surrey areas we serve: Bear Creek, Panorama Ridge, Sullivan, Fraser Heights, Port Kells, Bridgeview, Bolivar Heights, and all areas in between.
