Last updated: · Reviewed by the Right Choice Plumbing licensed-plumber team
Whether you're developing a basement, renovating a bathroom, adding a laundry room, or finishing a suite, the drainage rough-in has to be done right the first time. Right Choice Plumbing handles drain hookup and drain installation in Vancouver and surrounding cities for everything from a single sink branch line to a full multi-fixture rough-in.
Our Vancouver plumbers install ABS drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping to BC plumbing code, with the proper slope, supports, venting, and cleanouts. We coordinate with your renovation timeline so the rough-in goes in before drywall, the inspection passes the first time, and the final hookups (toilet, vanity, tub/shower, kitchen sink, laundry) happen on schedule.
We also tie new drain installations into existing main stacks, install upstream cleanouts where required, set new vent terminations through the roof, and handle the trickier work of connecting to older cast-iron stacks in heritage Vancouver homes. Every drain installation is built clean, leak-tested, and inspected.

Basement renovations
Basement bathroom drain installation Vancouver projects need careful planning - the bathroom is below the existing sewer line, so the drain configuration has to either tie into a deep cleanout or run through a sewage ejector pump. Our drain installation Vancouver crew lays out the rough-in to BC plumbing code, vents it correctly, and coordinates with your renovation timeline so the inspection passes the first time.
Laundry rough-ins
New laundry drain installation Vancouver homeowners book during basement developments and main-floor laundry conversions. We install the standpipe and trap to code, vent the line correctly, install hammer arrestors on the supply lines, and finish with the proper hookup for your washer and (if applicable) sink.

Google reviews
Real Google reviews from customers who hired Right Choice Plumbing for drain hookup & installation across Greater Vancouver.
Developing the basement and needed a full bathroom rough-in including a slab cut. Right Choice coordinated with our reno timeline, pulled the permit, did beautiful ABS work and passed inspection first time. The inspector even commented on how clean the workmanship was.
Added a second-floor laundry standpipe in a heritage house with cast-iron stacks. Tied the new ABS into the existing stack with a proper shielded coupling, vented it correctly, and tested everything before drywall. Exactly the kind of careful work old houses need.
Relocated our kitchen sink during a renovation and added a dishwasher hookup. The plumber rough-in was on schedule for the cabinet install, the trap and vent are textbook, and everything passed inspection. Communicated well throughout - made the whole reno less stressful.
