Sooke Plumbing: From Septic to Sewer

Sooke is transitioning from a quiet seaside town to a bustling community, and your plumbing needs are changing with it. Praise Plumbing is proud to serve Sooke residents, from Saseenos to Whiffin Spit, offering solutions that bridge the gap between rural and municipal living.

A major focus for Sooke homeowners is the transition from septic systems to municipal sewer lines. We are experts in septic-to-sewer conversions, handling the excavation and pipework to get you connected quickly and correctly. Additionally, as water mains in older sections of Sooke age, we provide trenchless water main replacements that save your landscaping and driveway when possible.

Whether you need a well pump serviced or a new dishwasher installed, we know Sooke residents value efficiency and honest work. We aim to fix it right the first time so you can get back to enjoying the coast.

Navigating Sooke’s Infrastructure Changes

Sooke is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in BC. This growth means many properties are upgrading from old rural systems to modern municipal connections. Praise Plumbing is your partner in this transition.

Septic-to-Sewer Conversions

As the District of Sooke expands its sewer collection system, many homeowners are decommissioning their old septic fields. This is a complex job that requires permits, excavation, and precise piping.

We are Sewer Connection Specialists. We handle the entire process: decommissioning your old septic tank, running the new PCV sewer line from your home to the property line, and installing the required cleanouts. We coordinate with the district inspectors so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

Trenchless Water Main Replacement

Many homes in older Sooke neighborhoods (like Saseenos or near the Sooke River) have water lines made of Poly-B or aging copper that are prone to leaking. Digging a trench across a long driveway or a mature garden is a nightmare.

We offer Trenchless "Pull" Technology when possible. We can sometimes replace your underground water line by pulling a new pipe through the old one or possibly boring. This saves your lawn, your driveway, and your wallet.

Well Pumps & Water Quality

For those still "off the grid" in Otter Point or East Sooke, we offer full well system support. If your pressure tank is waterlogged or your jet pump is seizing, we can repair or replace it. We also install sediment filters to keep the Sooke river silt out of your tap water.

Local Business Support

Sooke is built on local business. We provide priority plumbing for local restaurants, B&Bs, and shops. We know that a blocked grease trap or a broken toilet can shut down a business day, so we offer rapid response times for our commercial neighbors.
