Richmond presents a unique set of plumbing and heating challenges compared to other parts of Greater Vancouver. Low-lying geography, high groundwater levels, and dense strata development mean that drainage issues, sump and sewer concerns, and hidden leaks are more common—and often more disruptive if not handled correctly. In condos and mixed-use buildings, even a minor plumbing failure can impact multiple units very quickly.
Alpine Plumbing & Heating provides licensed plumbing, heating, gas, and drain services throughout Richmond, BC. With 20+ years of experience serving the Lower Mainland, our family-run team is known for clean workmanship, honest pricing, and solutions designed to prevent repeat problems—not just patch them.

Yes. We respond to urgent issues like flooding, burst pipes, sewer backups, and sudden loss of hot water when there’s risk of property damage. In Richmond’s low-lying areas and multi-unit buildings, rapid containment is critical to prevent spread. If you need immediate help, request Emergency Plumbing so we can stabilize the situation and explain next steps clearly.
Richmond’s high groundwater levels and flat terrain can put extra stress on drain and sewer systems, especially during heavy rain. Older or partially restricted lines are more likely to back up under these conditions. Professional Drain cleaning combined with Sewer camera inspection helps identify whether the issue is buildup, damage, or external pressure on the system.
Signs include warm spots on floors, unexplained water usage, staining, or persistent moisture without a visible source. Slab and concealed leaks can worsen quickly if ignored. Early Leak detection & repair helps locate the issue accurately and minimize disruption to finished spaces.
