Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair eliminates the need for disruptive excavation by using specialized equipment to replace or rehabilitate underground pipes. This method reduces property damage, accelerates project timelines, and lowers overall costs while maintaining structural integrity. Ideal for residential and commercial properties, it ensures minimal disruption to landscaping and daily operations.
Camera Inspections
Our high-resolution CCTV camera inspections provide real-time visual assessments of drainage systems, identifying cracks, blockages, or corrosion without invasive digging. This technology enables precise diagnostics, allowing targeted repairs and preventing unnecessary excavation. Customers receive detailed reports to make informed decisions about maintenance or replacement.
Pipelining
Pipelining involves inserting a resin-coated liner into damaged pipes, which hardens to create a durable, jointless replacement. This trenchless solution extends pipe lifespan by decades, prevents leaks, and restores functionality without excavation. It is ideal for aging sewer lines and water mains in both residential and municipal settings.
Perimeter Drain Replacement
We replace failing perimeter drains that protect building foundations from water damage. Using modern techniques, we ensure proper water diversion, prevent basement flooding, and mitigate soil erosion. Our process prioritizes long-term durability and compliance with local building codes for residential and commercial properties.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting clears stubborn blockages and buildup in drains using high-pressure water streams. This eco-friendly method removes grease, scale, and debris without damaging pipes, restoring optimal flow rates. It is a cost-effective alternative to mechanical snaking for both routine maintenance and severe clogs.

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.

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.

I contacted Victoria drain services to assess the condition of my parameter drains. I choose this company because they were a local and I wanted a timely responce. My experience of the building trades in the Victoria area has not been great, even the price of the initial survey seemed a little excessive so my expectations were quite low. However I was pleasantly surprised at the timely appointment and very pleasant professional manner of the technician 'Orin'. The full camera survey was undertaken and the results recorded. Later the same day an initial report was emailed to me to consider while

I have been using Victoria Drain Services since 2014. We had a kitchen installed in the down stairs suite and moved our hot water tank to provide more space in the suite. I have been very pleased with the quality of work that has been done. Matt is a very friendly individual and has excellent pluming skills. Thanks!
