Drain Installation in Vancouver
We install drain rough-ins, hookups, and replacements for Vancouver renovations, basement developments, and additions using code-compliant ABS and cast iron.
Last updated: · Reviewed by the Right Choice Plumbing licensed-plumber team
Right Choice Plumbing installs drains for basement developments, bathroom renovations, new laundry rooms, and finished suites in Vancouver and nearby cities. Projects range from one sink branch line to a rough-in serving several fixtures.
Our plumbers install ABS drain, waste, and vent piping to BC plumbing code with the required slope, supports, vents, and cleanouts. We coordinate the rough-in before drywall, arrange inspection, and return for final connections to the toilet, vanity, tub or shower, kitchen sink, and laundry.
We also connect new drains to main stacks, add upstream cleanouts where required, run vent terminations through the roof, and join new ABS to older cast-iron stacks in Vancouver heritage homes. Each installation is leak tested and inspected.
Typical project range: CAD 800 - 6500. The final quote depends on access, materials and the work confirmed during diagnosis.

Basement renovations
A basement bathroom may sit below the existing sewer line, so its drain must either connect to a deep cleanout or use a sewage ejector pump. We lay out and vent the rough-in to BC plumbing code and coordinate the work with your renovation schedule and inspection.
Laundry rough-ins
Laundry drains are often added during basement developments or main-floor laundry conversions. We install the standpipe and trap to code, vent the line, add hammer arrestors to the supply lines, and connect the washer and sink where applicable.
