With the dog days of summer officially behind us, we are entering what residents either welcome with open arms or begrudgingly accept as the inevitable fall AKA rainy season. 

As we trade our short sleeves and sunscreen for sweaters and scarves, those living in Metro Vancouver are making the necessary transitions to batten down the hatches and enter hibernation mode, with many prioritizing keeping the warmth in and the rain out. The drop in temperature also means increased and more frequent hot water usage.

These changes in habits can put immense pressure on your water line and drainage systems.

In these cases, a preemptive, preventative strategy is best to avoid any potential leaks, drops in water pressure and other unwanted complications before they happen. 

Luckily, one local Coquitlam business offers real-world expertise to make your pipe dreams come true – literally. Drainage and trenchless utility experts Your Guy Drainage offers 24-hour service to provide the cleanest, fastest option to help protect and preserve your home.

Staying out of the trenches

Depending on the age of your home, ensuring your water systems are functional is paramount. Older houses mean older plumbing, which can experience complications from heavy rainfall and additional strain from increased and prolonged use, potentially overwhelming drainage systems and causing backups.

According to Victor, Carlos, and Jador at Your Guy Drainage, all water lines eventually fail after 30 to 50 years in the ground, meaning homes built in 1995 or earlier are more susceptible to potential issues. 

Signs that an older property may need a water line replacement include frequent water leaks, a sudden spike in water bills, low water pressure, rust-coloured or discoloured water and soggy patches in the yard.

Your Guy Drainage is known for its rapid response, often assessing situations within 24 to 48 hours of the initial call. Once they’ve evaluated the issue, the team can provide a plan to replace the water line using modern trenchless technology, minimizing disruption and getting your water supply back to normal quickly.

But what is this trenchless technology?

Trenchless water line replacement is a modern technique that replaces old, damaged or broken water lines without the need to dig up large sections of a homeowner's property. 

Unlike traditional methods, which require digging extensive trenches that damage driveways, landscaping and other structures, trenchless technology allows for minimal excavation by creating a small access point to pull the new water line through using a method called pipe bursting or pipe lining, resulting in far less disruption and a quicker, cleaner process.

This solution can save homeowners significant time and money through reduced labour costs than more traditional methods. In fact, depending on the length and complexity of the job, a trenchless water replacement can often be completed in just one day as opposed to traditional trenching, which can take several days up to a week. 

Your Guy Drainage also offers emergency drain cleaning – which can be especially useful during Metro Vancouver’s rainy season – to help prevent flooding and damage during weather events.
