Trenchless Sewer Repair
Our trenchless sewer repair minimizes disruption by replacing damaged pipes without extensive digging. Two small access points allow installation of new pipes, reducing landscape damage and project timelines. This method suits residential and commercial properties seeking cost-effective, durable solutions for sewer line issues.
Camera Inspections
Advanced CCTV systems visually inspect underground pipes to identify cracks, blockages, or root intrusion. This non-invasive technique provides precise diagnostics, eliminating guesswork and unnecessary excavation. Ideal for preventive maintenance or troubleshooting drainage problems in homes and infrastructure.
Perimeter Drain Replacement
We replace aging perimeter drains to prevent basement flooding and soil erosion. Using modern materials and techniques, we ensure efficient water diversion from foundations. Projects include excavation, pipe installation, and site restoration, tailored to property-specific drainage needs.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting clears stubborn pipe clogs using high-pressure water streams. This eco-friendly method removes grease, scale, and debris buildup without chemicals. Suitable for sewer lines, storm drains, and commercial plumbing systems requiring deep cleaning and maintenance.
Emergency Drain Services
Our emergency team addresses urgent drainage issues like flooding or pipe bursts outside regular hours. Rapid response vehicles and equipment ensure swift resolution of critical problems, minimizing property damage and downtime for residential and business clients.

Being a home owner for over 30 years, I have had to call plumbing companies for various emergency services: the dubious and/or incompetent stories are plentiful. I remained sceptic when again I had to google drain/plumbing services for a backed up sewer. My choice was Victoria Drain and I finally scored a winner with this company: Laura was empathic to my plight and fit me in to a tight schedule; tech "Yumay" explained all necessary steps or options; was thorough and quick to resolve the problem. There was no upsell, unreasonable billing, or failing to show up - all important concerns when choosing

I had a great experience with Victoria Drains. They had come over to do our storm drain flushing and discovered that a few issues. They were able to quickly mobilize their team (in these busy times) and fix the problems at a reasonable cost. They kept me informed of issues as they discovered them, and provided options for me to choose from. The showed up when they said they would, the field crews were friendly and professional. They cleaned up after finishing the job. Highly recommended.

I needed a whole new perimeter drain system and liner to the sewer line. The team (Eric and Terry) worked SO HARD all through the heatwave, getting the job done, cheerfully and professionally. I was impressed!

The team of workers were totally "above our expectations, and beyond" insofar as doing an excellent job; our yard was left in a better condition that prior to the work being done. We highly recommend this firm and will only use them again if needed in the future.

My mother hired this company. They did not complete clean up after doing their work which left her to clean it up herself. Our sidewalk was caked with mud and it took her hours to get clean. When she requested a discount for the lack of cleaning done by the company she received an extremely rude response from the owner. I would give 0/5 stars if I could, no business owner should speak to customers the way he spoke to her.

Outstanding service when selling my home with conditions being removed in 2 days and potential sale falling through. I needed urgent Rock Pit remediation!!! They immediately realised my predicament and pulled part of the crew on another job to assist and they completed a full repair with courteous professional service at a very fair price when I had not even had a quote as needs must. They did not take advantage of that either. Integrity is sometimes rare nowadays but WOW these guys pulled through.
