Reliable Plumber Serving All of Saanich

As the largest municipality in Greater Victoria, Saanich covers a diverse range of properties, from the busy corridors of Tillicum and Shelbourne to the quiet residential streets of Gordon Head. Praise Plumbing offers versatile services to meet this wide range of needs.

For homeowners in established Saanich neighborhoods, tree root intrusion in sewer lines is a frequent headache. We use advanced camera inspection and hydro-jetting technology to clear stubborn blockages and repair drain tiles before they cause basement flooding.

We also specialize in perimeter drain maintenance, a critical service for Saanich homes during the rainy season. Whether you need a quick faucet repair or a full perimeter drain flush, reliable plumbing is just a phone call away.

Protecting Your Saanich Home from the Ground Up

Saanich’s geography is unique, featuring a mix of rocky outcrops, low-lying clay valleys, and heavy tree coverage. These factors create specific drainage challenges that every homeowner should be aware of.

The Importance of Perimeter Drains in Saanich

Many homes in Saanich, particularly those built between 1950 and 1980, rely on perimeter drain tiles to keep their basements dry. Over time, these drains can become clogged with soil, silt, and aggressive tree roots from the beautiful Garry Oaks and Cedars that line our streets.

At Praise Plumbing, we don't just snake a drain and leave. We offer comprehensive perimeter drain inspections. Using high-definition cameras, we can inspect the condition of your drain tile system. If we find blockages, our high-pressure hydro-jetting service can scrub the pipes clean, restoring flow and preventing the nightmare of a flooded finished basement.

Sewer & Water Line Excavation

In older areas of Saanich like Cordova Bay and Cadboro Bay, original municipal water services are reaching the end of their lifespan. A "slow" leak in your underground water main can go unnoticed for months, leading to astronomical CRD water bills.

We specialize in water main diagnostics and replacement. If you notice a sudden spike in your water bill or a soggy patch on your lawn, call us immediately. We use trenchless technology whenever possible to replace your water line without destroying your driveway or landscaping.

Renovations and Suites

Saanich is a hotspot for secondary suites and garden suites (detached accessory dwelling units). If you are converting a basement into a rental unit for UVic students or building a carriage house, you need a plumber who knows the specific Saanich building codes.

We handle all aspects of suite plumbing, from installing sewage ejector pumps (for basements lower than the sewer grade) to adding separate water shut-offs for tenant units. We ensure your new suite is legal, safe, and comfortable for your tenants.

Eco-Friendly Upgrades

Saanich residents are environmentally conscious. We can help you reduce your carbon footprint and your utility bills. Ask us about installing high-efficiency toilets, low-flow showerheads, and heat pump water heaters. We can also help you navigate available rebates for energy-efficient plumbing upgrades.
