Will recommend Drain Pro Plumbing to anyone who is ever in need! Their employees are prompt, professional, and go above and beyond anything you would expect. Axl took the time to explain potential plumbing issues he saw while he was reinstalling my toilet and sink post emergency renovation. It was refreshing to be informed and educated on the work that was being done. Last but not least, the attention to covid protocol was impeccable! Thank you!

Kevin M.
“I called 4 plumbers on a Friday afternoon, Drain Pro were the only ones to call me back. This is the third time we have used them and each time they have come quickly and done a great job.”
Julia D.
I woke up on a weekend morning discovering a water pipe leak in my washroom. I called another plumbing company’s 24hr emergency line twice, but was not able to get a hold of anyone. I then called Drain Pro’s 24hr Victoria line, someone answered my call immediately, advised me to turn water switch off, and dispatched a repair job for the afternoon. After I hung up the phone call, I got an email confirming that a repair job has been dispatched.
Dustin showed up in the afternoon and was very professional. He identified the leak in the first few minutes and explained what he is going to do. He went to home depot to get some parts and came back within 10 minutes. He then fixed the leak within 20 minutes. This is my first time using Drain Pro Plumbing. I am very impressed with their customer service and work quality. The price they charge is very reasonable for a weekend call. I would recommend Drain Pro to everyone and will definitely use them again for my future plumbing needs.

This is my first time getting a plumber and I would highly recommend Drain Pro. Very happy with their service and we will definitely come back again if we encounter any other plumbing issues in the future.”

“Over the years our strata has used Drain Pro for major work on our property as well as individual owners have hired this company for work inside their units. We required some bathroom work a few days ago and Drain Pro sent a plumber by the name of Dustin. Dustin was very friendly, extremely competent and he went out of his way to ensure the work was 100% perfect. He also did a wonderful job of cleaning up after the jobs were completed. Dustin was more than willing to answer all our questions and explain the work as he proceeded. 10 out of 10 rating for his excellent work from start to finish. Many thanks Dustin. We finally have a beautiful working bathroom.”

Frequently Asked Questions
When installed and used correctly, natural gas is a very safe and efficient source of power. The overwhelming majority of incidents involving natural gas are due to not following the correct procedures, especially when it comes to connecting and disconnecting natural gas lines. When you have your natural gas line installed by licensed professionals such as those at Drain Pro Plumbing Services, you can rest assured that your natural gas system is safe.
Contact us today if you are interested in installing a natural gas system in your home.
Believe it or not, natural gas smells like rotten eggs to keep you safe! Since natural gas on its own is odourless, a harmless and safe chemical called mercaptan is mixed with the gas so we can smell it if there is a gas leak. Most people describe the smell of natural gas mixed with mercaptan as similar to rotten eggs or sulphur. If you use natural gas in your home and notice a smell of rotten eggs, you might have a natural gas leak.
If you suspect you do have a leak, vacate your home and contact Drain Pro Plumbing immediately.
There are many types of pipes that work together in your natural gas system. Their lifespans vary depending on the material they are made of:
- Copper Pipes: 70-80 Years
- Brass Pipes: 80-100 Years
- Galvanized Steel: 80-100 Years
Damage to these pipes can still happen at any time across their lifespan due to faulty components, corrosion, improperly moving gas appliances, tree roots near underground lines and more. It is important to have your pipes inspected every so often to ensure they are in working order.
Contact Drain Pro to set up an appointment for us to replace your gas line.
Aside from the obvious rotten egg smell, or alarm from your home’s carbon monoxide detector, there are a number of things you can look for and notice that will tell you if your gas line needs to be fixed:
- Pipes are starting to crack or look like they will at any moment.
- Hissing noises near your gas pipes.
- Rust or corrosion on your gas pipes
- Gas appliances slowing down
- Dying house plants or grass around buried gas pipes despite regular watering
- Drastic increase in your utility bill
All of these are easy ways to tell if there is (or soon will be) a gas leak somewhere in your gas line that urgently needs to be fixed.
If you notice any of the above signs, get in touch with our team at Drain Pro. We will be able to assess your situation and provide you with the next course of action.
Yes, but only under certain conditions. Certain grades of polyethylene pipes like PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) are capable of being used for gas lines. However, due to the fact that it is plastic that expands easily near heat, they are not recommended to be connected directly to any heat-producing appliances like a gas furnace, water heater, stove or BBQ. Doing so is an easy way to spring a gas leak.
PEX pipes are great to use in gas lines when you are transporting natural gas from one point in your home to another because it is flexible and doesn’t require as many directional connections. The pipes should connect to metal pipes near appliances in such a way as it isn’t exposed to extreme heat.
PEX pipes also work well as buried pipes used to connect detached buildings such as sheds and garages that are on your property.
If you would like to learn more about how we can install PEX pipes in your home, contact our team today!
Gas line work is fully regulated under the BC Safety Standards Act. These regulations state that unless you have an emergency such as a gas leak, you need to have a permit before having any work done on your gas line. This work could be:
- Installations
- Alterations
- Extensions
- Preventative Maintenance
Our team of experts will help you with permits every step of the way so there is no need to stress. Contact us today!
