What's included
What Our Drain Line Repair Includes
Every drain line repair Victoria job includes the diagnostic work, the repair itself, and the testing that proves it holds. Here is what is covered on a standard call, and what we quote separately if your job needs it.
Precise Line Locating
A pipe locator marks the exact position and depth of the failure on your floor or in your yard. That is what keeps the access point small instead of cutting a trench across the room.
Section Repair or Replacement
We cut out the failed pipe and install new PVC, PEX, or copper matched to the existing line. Couplings are primed and glued or clamped to spec, and the new section is bedded so it does not sit on sharp debris.
Pressure Testing and Re-Camera
After the repair, we pressure test the line and run the camera again. You get visual proof the fix holds before we close anything up. If it does not pass, we redo it at no charge.
Concrete Patch and Cleanup
When we cut an access point in the slab, we patch it with concrete patch mix and finish it level. Debris is hauled away and the work area is left clean enough to walk on.
Written Warranty
Every repair carries a written warranty on parts and labor. You get the paperwork, the camera footage, and photos of the repair for your records or an insurance claim.
How it works
How Our Drain Line Repair Process Works
You call, we ask what the drain is doing, and we book a window. On arrival we check every fixture on the line, note which ones back up, and confirm whether the problem is in the branch line, the main, or the yard line. That first hour tells us most of what we need.
We feed a RIDGID SeeSnake camera down the line and watch it on the monitor with you. Once we see the break, a pipe locator marks the exact spot on the floor or in the yard. You get a depth reading and a distance from the cleanout, not a vague guess.
If the repair is under the slab, we cut a small access point with a concrete saw and break out just that section. If it is in the yard, we dig by hand around the marked spot. Either way, we protect the surrounding floor and keep the opening as tight as the repair allows.
We cut out the failed pipe and install new PVC or PEX, matched to the existing line size and slope. Couplings are primed and glued, or clamped on copper, and the new section is bedded so it does not sit on sharp debris. A typical section repair takes two to four hours.
We pressure test the line, run the camera again, and fill every fixture to confirm flow. Then we patch the concrete with concrete patch mix and leave the area clean. You get a walkthrough, photos of the repair, and a written warranty on the work.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
RIDGID SeeSnake Camera
Pushes through the drain line and sends live video back to the monitor so we can see the exact failure and record it for you.
Pipe Locator
Marks the position and depth of the camera head on the surface, so we know exactly where to cut or dig before we open anything.
FLIR Thermal Imaging Camera
Shows temperature differences under the floor to reveal where water is pooling or where a line is leaking.
Acoustic Listening Devices
Picks up the sound of escaping water on pressurized lines, which helps confirm whether a slab leak is contributing to the drain problem.
Pressure Testing Gauges
Confirms the repaired line holds pressure before we close the access point and patch the concrete.
Concrete Saw and Jackhammer
Cuts a clean access point in the slab when the repair has to be reached from above, with controlled breaking to limit the opening.

Drain Line Repair
Cast Iron Drain Line Under a Downtown Slab
A 1950s home in Downtown Victoria had a kitchen sink that drained slow for months and then stopped completely. A camera run showed a cracked cast iron section about eight feet from the cleanout, with rust scale narrowing the pipe to half its original diameter.
After: We tunneled in from the side of the foundation, cut out six feet of failed cast iron, and installed new PVC with proper slope. The camera run after the repair showed full flow, and the kitchen drain emptied in under ten seconds.

Root-Crushed Yard Line in Saanich
A Saanich home had sewage backing into the laundry room every few weeks. Snaking cleared it each time, but the backups kept returning. Camera inspection found roots had crushed the yard line at a joint about 22 feet out from the house.
After: We excavated the marked spot, replaced the crushed section with new PVC, and installed a cleanout at the repair point for future access. The line passed a flow test, and the backups stopped completely.

Drain Line Repair
Sheared Drain Line After Foundation Movement
A North Park home had water pooling near the hall bathroom floor drain and a musty smell that would not go away. Thermal imaging showed moisture under the slab, and the camera found a drain line sheared at a joint where the slab had shifted.
After: We cut a small access point, replaced the sheared section with new PVC, and bedded it to tolerate minor movement. The moisture reading dropped to normal within four days, and the smell cleared.

Drain Problems We Fix Every Week in Victoria
Most drain line failures give you warning signs for weeks before they turn into a flood. Here are the ones we see most, and what happens if you wait.
Ask a pro →Slow drains that back up again after snaking
We camera the line to find out why it keeps clogging. If the pipe is cracked, bellied, or root-damaged, we repair that section so you stop paying for the same snake job every few months.
Water pooling on the floor near a drain
We locate the break, confirm whether it is a blockage or a structural failure, and repair the line. Then we test it and verify the pooling stops before we leave.
Sewage smell inside the house
We trace the smell to its source with a camera and pressure test. Once we find the break, we repair it and confirm the line is sealed and venting correctly.
Unexplained jump in the water bill
We use electronic leak detection and thermal imaging to find the loss, then repair the line responsible. Most customers see the bill return to normal the next cycle.

Drain cleaning removes a clog. Drain pipe repair fixes the pipe itself, whether that is a crack, a collapsed section, a root-damaged joint, or corrosion. If your line backs up repeatedly after snaking, the pipe is the problem, not the blockage, and cleaning will not solve it.
Typical 2026 pricing in this area runs $450 to $1,800 for a section repair, and $3,500 to $9,000 when the line has to be replaced under a slab. Depth, pipe material, and whether we tunnel or cut concrete are the big drivers. You get the number before we start.
Yes. A slab leak from a supply line can wash out the soil under your foundation, which shifts the slab and shears the drain pipe running through it. That is why we check both lines when we find one. Fixing the drain without addressing the slab leak means the repair fails again.
