Services
Drain Cleaning
Our professional drain cleaning service removes blockages caused by tree roots, debris, and sediment buildup in residential and commercial drainage systems. Using high-pressure water jetting and mechanical augers, we restore proper flow to perimeter drains, sewer lines, and stormwater systems. This preventative maintenance service helps avoid costly emergencies while extending the lifespan of underground plumbing infrastructure.
Sewer Line Repair
We specialize in trenchless and traditional sewer line repairs for broken, collapsed, or root-infested pipes. Our technicians use cured-in-place pipe lining and pipe bursting techniques to minimize property disruption. Emergency services address immediate backups while scheduled repairs focus on long-term system integrity for homes and businesses across Vancouver.
Perimeter Drainage
Our perimeter drainage solutions prevent water damage to building foundations through proper groundwater management. Services include system installation, repair, and maintenance using modern materials and techniques. We address both interior and exterior drainage needs, ensuring proper water diversion from basements and crawl spaces in Vancouver's wet climate.
Camera Inspection
Using state-of-the-art video equipment, we perform detailed underground pipe inspections to identify blockages, cracks, and root infiltration. This non-invasive diagnostic tool allows precise problem location without unnecessary excavation. Inspections help determine whether repairs or full replacements are needed for sewer lines, water mains, and perimeter drainage systems.
Sump Pump Installation
We install and service sump pumps and backup systems to protect basements from water intrusion. Our solutions include primary pumps, battery backups, and alarm systems for reliable water removal during power outages. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of sump systems connected to perimeter drainage networks in flood-prone properties.

Budget Drainage showed up in our place due to our sump pump issues . After they review and did all inspection he mentioned you need control panel as well as replacement sump pump and cost you few thousand Dollars . After they started digging in very bad condition weather their estimate to $15000 and put us in situation only dealing with them . After three weeks the whole system was broken down and when we ask them fix with too much money you have already charged they brought another excuse and send us email this is only related to one old pump which we didnt change and if you want you must pay

His is an absolutely terrible company. It is a scam, unprofessional, dishonest, rude, impolite irresponsible, and is incompetent! They charged me $13,000, and after merely 3 weeks the entire system broke down. To fix the breakdown, the owner demanded another $1500. Nevertheless, I denied it after checking the invoice for the material he had charged me for. For the material, he charged me 60% more than the regular market price. After bringing this to his attention, he proceeded to call me cheap and other similar insults in front of me and my neighbor. This showcases extremely rude behavior. In

Rob, Darrin, and Mike were extremely professional, quick, friendly and provided the best pricing. A day after I reached out to Budget Drainage, Rob came by and assessed the problem on the spot. By 9 am, Rob provided me a great estimate and said they could replace my waterline on the same day. By 10 am, three people in three trucks were in front of the house and the team started digging out a trench. By noon, the trench was dug out and a new 3/4 inch line was being laid down and run into the house. By 1pm, water from the new line was coming out of the taps through the new line. By 2 pm, Rob and

Rob and his team are true professionals. We are so impressed by the quality of their work. They are efficient, proficient, and considerate. They did a major pipe re-routing for us, and it required significant work in the back yard and garage. Despite the scope of their work, the reconstruction was done so impeccably that you can't even tell they did any work. They were able to save/restore all our planted flowers and landscaping. Thank you for a great job. We are truly grateful. You will not regret working with Rob and his team.

Our house had big time drainage issues. It's an 85 year old house and the drainage had never been replaced or even repaired. The sewer pipe was backing up and the perimeter drainage was non existent. Rob and the team at Budget did a great job replacing everything and organizing the project around the weather. I felt they really listened to my concerns as a home owner and now I don't have to worry during the heavy rains. It is great to find a honest contractors who have a keen interest in doing quality work. I have no hesitation recommending this company.

This was by far the best service from any company I have worked with. We had a massive drainage issue that required a lot of subcontractors. Rob handled it all and even went the extra mile to construct some steps so it was easier to get around outside. The price was reasonable and I had total trust in his team. I cannot recommend them more highly.
