Benefits of Plumbing
System Maintenance
Repairs to your plumbing system can be a major inconvenience. Some plumbing issues such as leaky pipes, can be easily spotted by the untrained eye as something that needs to be repaired. However, there are other issues that can’t be easily detected and might go unnoticed until it’s too late. Setting up regular plumbing system maintenance can be a way of preventing any extensive damage to your plumbing systems. Other benefits of regular plumbing system maintenance are:
- Leaks, clogs and other problems are caught early resulting in fewer Repairs
- Removal of substance build-up or other issues lead to better water pressure
- Inspection & cleaning keep your pipes in good condition leading to longer lifespans
- Lower utility expenses due to detecting & fixing leaks or problems with your plumbing system
Common Home Plumbing System Issues
There are some issues in plumbing systems that are more common than others. One frequent plumbing issue is dripping faucets. This is when your faucet continues to drip once you have turned it off. This plumbing problem is so standard that it would be difficult to find someone who has not faced it. Dripping faucets may be annoying, but they are also a waste of water. When a faucet is left dripping, it can cost you money by increasing your water bill.
Another plumbing issue is running toilets. This occurs when your toilet continues running after you have flushed. This may not seem like a big problem, but a running toilet can lead to the loss of around 200 gallons of water each day. Wasting water will cost you unnecessary money for a problem that is easy to fix. Low water pressure is also a common plumbing problem. Often an issue in older homes, this is when your water trickles instead of gushing. Having low water pressure can make many regular things like showering and washing your hands inconvenient. Drain Pro Plumbing has the best plumbers to help fix your common plumbing concerns in Victoria.

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.”

Again fast response, good work. And nice folks all around!”

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.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Here in Victoria and Lower Vancouver Island, the weather generally doesn’t get to the point where frozen pipes are a major concern. It’s the warmest city in Canada, after all! But sometimes winter takes its toll, in the form of snowfall and/or freezing temperatures.
Does that leave your pipes vulnerable? The answer depends on the construction of your home. In particular, if you have a water heater in an external portion or exterior segment of your home, and an extended cold snap or power outage were to occur, this could leave your pipes vulnerable. Power outages in general can be problematic.
To find out whether your home is built solid for the winter or remains vulnerable to pipes freezing, contact Drain Pro for an inspection of your pipes and plumbing.
The best way to prevent clogged pipes and drain blocks is to be aware of what is going down your drains.
Use filters on shower and tub drains to catch hair and other objects. Similarly, sinks can have a trap installed to catch debris. Do not put grease, oil or any foreign objects down the drain. Only toilet paper should go into the toilet. Use compost bins, recycling and garbage to your advantage to keep anything and everything from going down the pipes. Proactive measures are the best way to keep your pipes clear and free of blocks and clogs. If you are experiencing slow drainage, this could be a sign of a clogged pipe.
Contact Drain Pro to book an appointment for our clogged drain services.
Drain Pro recommends that your home’s plumbing system should be inspected by a professional at least once every 2 years. This regular check-up will allow our professional plumbers to spot any potential problems and get ahead of them before they become a bigger issue. They can also assess whether it is time for them to be professionally cleaned. Household drain systems should be professionally cleaned every few years to make sure they are functioning as efficiently as possible. This is a great way to prevent any potential damage or clogging from build-up of residue in your plumbing system.
