Plumbing Inspections & Schedules

Surrey's plumbing inspection staff do inspections and plan reviews to make sure all plumbing and site services are installed under permit and substantially comply with the BC Building Code and City of Surrey Bylaws.

Backflow Preventers: Effective October 4, 2021, a backflow preventer test report must be submitted and approved prior to scheduling a site review or inspection for a backflow preventer. Where a report has not been accepted, no backflow inspection can be scheduled. Email reports to cccreports@surrey.ca. 

Scheduling an Inspection

Call 604-591-4245 to request a plumbing inspection. Inspections must be booked by the Plumbing Permit holder only. Call before 3:00 pm to request a next day inspection.

To cancel an inspection, email plumbinginfo@surrey.ca before 9:30 am on the day of your inspection. Work that isn't ready for a scheduled inspection may be subject to a re-inspection fee.
