Drain Pro Client Testimonials
I was most impressed with Drain Pro. They let me know when they would be here via email. Jacob was kind, courteous and very efficient. I would not hesitate to use Drain Pro again. A good plumbing company.
John W.
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!

John worked very hard to solve our drain blockage. We have an old house and the plumbing is unconventional but he persisted and was able to clear it.

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.
Tony C.
“Did a great job and taught a dinosaur a new trick so an outside tap does not need internal shutoff for the winter. Will always call these guys!”
Sandi J.
“My kitchen sink water pipe was leaking in my condo unit so I decided to call a plumber. Drain Pro picked up my call immediately and schedule an appointment. Dustin was very professional and identified the problem within minutes. He explained to us what he was doing and was very patient when we asked him questions. 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.”

Tung S.
“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.”
Dave G.
“The Drain Pro crew were excellent. They dug up our perimeter drains that were in poor shape causing water leakage. They quickly installed new drains and did an excellent job. The day they finished there was a monsoon of rain and not a drop inside! Thanks Drain Pro!”
Len M.
“I sent an email about a leaking water heater in the evening, received a phone call within 15 minutes. Price for a new heater installed right up front, showed up exactly on time requested the next morning. Have also used them to unplug a root bound sewer line last winter. Again fast response, good work. And nice folks all around!”
Craig M.

He was very flexible with how the work was done so as to meet my needs and not cause a lot of mess in out house. He was very quick and explained the science of how things worked so that I knew what he was doing.”

“We have additional work to do however we know that we will be able to rely on Drain Pro to help us. John showed up on time very personable and he explained what he was going to do what the results might be and let us know that we would be able to work together to get a solution. This company came highly recommended and we can see why they are very professional and we would recommend them to anyone.”
Don R.
“I called in the morning to schedule a plumber, who then showed up on time that afternoon to fix a low pressure problem. The job was done efficiently, no mess, and we’re back to normal, COVID excepted of course. Pleased to learn our plumber is also a gas fitter which will come in handy when we add gas service for our patio barbecue, etc. Thanks again.”

“Drain Pro did a great job of fixing my clogged toilet, explained everything he was doing and told me how I could prevent it from happening again. I was impressed that he offered to look at any other plumbing issues that I might have as I was paying for a one hour call. He did a great job and was very pleasant.”
Janet C.
“We had a respectful, hardworking man come and work on a very troubling plugged drain. He worked hard to make sure I could use my sink and I really appreciated his diligence and work. Have used them in the past and will most definitely use them again. Thanks!”
Meagan B.
“I made an appointment to have our condos drains checked with a camera. Jason the plumber arrived early and started right away. He had all the drains inspected quickly. Gave a detailed description of any sediment and suggested what should be done but that we were good for a while yet, no pressure to hurry. Will definitely have them back when the time comes.”

Dangers of Old Plumbing in Victoria
Older homes that were built before the 1960s commonly have galvanized iron pipes being used in their plumbing system. These pipes are made from steel that has been covered (inside and out) with a layer of zinc for protection. Zinc can erode from the pipe walls and build up in your system causing issues for your plumbing system and the health of you and your family.
If your home has an old plumbing system that is in need of a replacement our team at Drain Pro can help. We offer reliable replacements for old plumbing systems in Victoria, BC. Get in touch with our team today!
Impact Old Plumbing Has on Water Quality
As old pipes, especially those made from galvanized iron, corrode over time, lead can accumulate and be released into your drinking water. Lead is dangerous for humans to consume and can lead to a variety of symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Poor appetite
- Metallic taste in your mouth
- Reduced productivity
- Irritability
- Weight loss
- Hyperactivity
Frequently Asked Questions

That’s why it’s good to be aware of the condition of the pipes and plumbing in your home. For older homes in Victoria & Lower Vancouver Island, this means a plumbing inspection is a good idea. Newer homes can still experience plumbing issues where plumbing replacement is called for. At Drain Pro, the leader in Lower Vancouver Island & Victoria plumbing, we’ll do our best to keep your costs down by performing plumbing repair whenever possible.

There are many different types of pipes that work together in your plumbing system. Their lifespans vary depending on the material they are made of:
Supply Lines
- Copper Pipes: 70-80 Years
- Brass Pipes: 80-100 Years
- Galvanized Steel: 80-100 Years
Drain Lines
- Plastic PVC Pipes: 25-40 Years
- Cast Iron Pipes: 80-100 Years
Damage to these pipes can still happen at any time across their lifespan due to clogs, freezing, tree roots, or weather conditions and need be repaired or replaced. If you live in a very old home and aren’t sure when the last time the pipes were inspected, give us a call for an inspection and we can recommend any replacements that may be needed.
There are a number of reasons why some of your fixtures could be experiencing low water pressure while others aren’t. The good news is that if this is the case, then the source of the problem is easier to find!
Starting at the point where water comes out of the faucet or shower head, we will inspect the various components of the fixture for problems. If nothing is found, then we will trace along the pipes to find where the issue is.
Having one of our licensed plumbers provide an inspection is the quickest and easiest way to find the cause of your low water pressure problems and provide the best solution to fix them.
Depending on the colour of your tap water, the cause could be a number of things. The most common colours seen are:
- White/Cloudy: Extra air trapped in your water as it moves through your pipes. You can tell if the tap water becomes clear in a glass after a minute or two. This tends to happen when water pressure is high and should be checked out to avoid future plumbing problems.
- Yellow/Brown: Dirt and naturally occurring sediments can settle at the bottom of supply lines despite the water treatment process and get shaken up when water passing through the pipes speed up due to a water main break, or high service demand.
- Orange/Brown: If your house uses cast iron pipes, they will corrode over time. As this happens, tiny iron and manganese particles fall off the inside of the pipe as water passes through it. This is a sure sign that the pipes need to be replaced.
- Visible Black Particles: Rubber materials such as gaskets and O-rings begin to break down as they get older. As water flows through the pipes, pieces of these rubber parts can break off and end up coming out of your tap. This is another sign that plumbing replacement service is needed.
