Expert Plumbing Services in Victoria, BC

As the heart of the Capital Regional District, Victoria is a unique mix of century-old character homes and bustling downtown businesses. At Praise Plumbing, we understand the specific challenges that come with maintaining older properties in neighborhoods like Fernwood, James Bay, and Fairfield.

We specialize in upgrading aging infrastructure that many Victoria homeowners face. If you live in a pre-1990s home, you may be dealing with galvanized steel or lead piping that reduces water pressure and poses health risks. We offer full repiping services to modernize your plumbing while preserving the integrity of your heritage home.

For our downtown commercial clients, we provide rapid-response plumbing for restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. From clearing root-intruded sewer lines in established neighborhoods to handling high-capacity grease trap installations, we keep Victoria’s businesses running smoothly.

Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions for Victoria Homeowners

Living in Victoria means enjoying the charm of West Coast architecture, but it often means inheriting plumbing systems that are decades old. Praise Plumbing is your partner in navigating these complexities. We don't just fix leaks; we help you plan for the longevity of your home.

Heritage Home Plumbing Upgrades

Victoria is famous for its heritage registry and character homes. However, the plumbing codes of 1920 are very different from today. Many homes in areas like Rockland and Vic West still utilize cast iron waste stacks and clay sewer pipes. Over time, these materials become brittle, leading to cracks, leaks, and sewer gas smells.

We are experts in non-invasive retrofitting. We understand that you want to save your original hardwood floors and lath-and-plaster walls. Our team uses precise diagnostic tools to locate issues behind walls without unnecessary demolition. Whether it’s replacing a corroded stack or updating knob-and-tube era fixtures, we treat your historic home with the respect it deserves.

The "Poly-B" Problem in Victoria

While heritage homes have their quirks, homes built in Victoria during the 1980s and 1990s face a different threat: Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping. This grey plastic piping is notorious for sudden ruptures. If you are buying a condo in downtown Victoria or a townhome in Burnside, your insurance company may require a plumbing inspection or replacement. Praise Plumbing offers certified Poly-B replacement services, swapping out vulnerable plastic for durable PEX or Copper piping, ensuring your property is insurable and safe from flooding.
