Hazel Dell is one of the older parts of the area, and that shows up in the plumbing. A good share of the housing here dates from the middle of the last century, which puts it in a different category from the newer subdivisions further north.
Practically, that means we see more of the problems that come with genuinely old pipework rather than simply worn fixtures: galvanized steel supply lines corroding from the inside, cast iron drain stacks reaching the end of their life, and sewer laterals old enough that roots have found the joints. These are not maintenance items. They are the point at which a house needs work rather than another patch.
Corrodes from the inside out, narrowing until pressure suffers and rust shows at the taps. Common in homes of this age.
Usually the supply pipe rather than the water. It tends to appear first thing in the morning.
A third leak in the same house is the pipe telling you something, and it is where repiping starts to make sense.
Older clay and cast iron laterals with mature trees above them are a frequent source of repeat main line backups.
Original galvanized service lines that have been in the ground for decades and are now leaking underground.
When it is the whole house rather than one fixture, the supply pipework is usually the reason.
Everything we do in Vancouver we do in Hazel Dell. Here it leans toward repiping, sewer laterals and corroding supply lines, because a lot of this housing stock is genuinely old and the original pipe is reaching the end of it.
With a house of this age the honest advice is often not the cheapest thing we could sell you, and it is sometimes to do less rather than more. We will tell you when a repair will hold and when it is simply the next leak deferred. That is the whole basis of how Jeremy works: honest service and quality work, not sales.
Our water comes out rusty in the morning. Is that the water supply?
Usually not. It is more often galvanized supply pipe corroding inside the house, and the discoloration settles out overnight then shows on the first draw. Worth looking at.
How do I know if we need repiping or just a repair?
The pattern is what matters. Repeat leaks, rusty water and falling pressure across the whole house together point at the pipe rather than one fitting. One leak on its own is a repair.
Our drains keep backing up. Why does it keep happening?
If more than one fixture backs up, the problem is in the main line rather than at the fixture. In older Hazel Dell properties, root intrusion into an aging sewer lateral is one of the more common causes.
Do you work on old cast iron and galvanized systems?
Yes. It is a good share of what we do in this part of the area.
Is there a charge to come out and look?
No. We give free estimates on all jobs.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. Every job we do carries at least a one year warranty on our labor. Water heaters carry two years. Fixtures and parts carry their own manufacturer’s warranty.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing through Affirm. The invoice we send you carries an option to pay over time instead of all at once, and Affirm sets the terms. Useful when a repair or a replacement arrives unplanned, which is usually how they arrive.
