Richmond · BC
Your Richmond Plumber.
Same-day plumbing across Richmond — ~60-minute response. Licensed BC plumbers, hourly drain cleaning, free estimates on big jobs (no call-out fee), workmanship warranty.
Richmond's housing stock is mixed — older neighbourhoods with cast-iron drain mainlines and aging galvanized supply lines, and newer subdivisions and townhouse complexes built with PEX and ABS. Each comes with its own failure pattern, and our crews have worked on both.
When you call, a real plumber answers — never a call centre. We dispatch the closest crew with stock parts already on the truck, so most calls become single-visit fixes. Drain cleaning is billed at a transparent hourly rate, quoted up front; big jobs like sewer or water-service replacement get a free on-site estimate with no call-out fee.
What we see most in Richmond
Common plumbing issues — and how we fix them.
Richmond's housing stock has its quirks. Here's what comes up on calls week after week, and exactly how our crew handles each one.
Slow drains in older homes
Pre-1980s builds often have cast-iron mainlines that scale and trap solids. Camera + targeted hydro-jetting clears them without tearing up the floor.
Sewer line root intrusion
Mature trees and aging clay laterals mean roots find their way in. We locate and repair — often trenchless when the line allows.
Aging water heaters
Most tanks last 8–12 years. After 10, we tell you honestly whether to repair or replace — usually the math favours replace.
Cold-snap pipe failures
Crawlspaces and exposed runs in detached homes can freeze. We thaw safely, repair, and insulate so it doesn't happen twice.

Real neighbours

“We called Mr. Plunger to take our dishwasher and fill in holes behind it with pesticide foam. We found them to be very efficient in coming to do the job the same day and were so tidy and pleasant. We definitely will call them again when we have a plumbing need!”
Frequently asked questions
Common questions we hear every day. Don't see yours? Call us — a real plumber will answer.
Do you charge for an emergency call-out?
We charge a transparent after-hours rate that's disclosed before we dispatch — no surprises when we arrive.
How fast can you get to my house in Surrey?
Most Surrey calls reach you in 45–60 minutes. We'll give you an exact ETA when we dispatch.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes — every plumber is BC-licensed and we carry full liability and WCB coverage. Our license number is in the footer.
Do you give upfront pricing?
Always. Three things to know: (1) Drain cleaning is billed at a transparent hourly rate — we tell you the rate before we run the cable or jet. (2) Big jobs (sewer line replacement, water service replacement, tankless installs, repipes) get a free on-site estimate with no call-out fee. (3) Everything else is quoted on site after diagnosis. We don't do flat-rate book pricing — every quote is specific to the work in front of us. You always approve the price before any work starts.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, debit, and e-transfer. We email a digital invoice the same day.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — every job comes with a workmanship warranty. The exact term is matched to the work, since a faucet swap and a sewer line replacement aren't comparable. If something we touched fails inside the warranty window, we come back free. Manufacturer warranty on parts applies on top — we hand off the warranty cards and serial numbers on completion so you know what's covered for how long.
