Sewer & Water Line Coating (Spray Lining)
Spray lining coats the inside of a sewer or water line with a seamless epoxy or polyurea liner, sealing cracks, joints, pinholes and root intrusion without trenching. It is a fast, lower-cost alternative to replacement for pipes that are still structurally sound.
Storm Systems
Storm system services provide assessment, installation, and maintenance of drainage infrastructure including catch basins, culverts, retention ponds, and stormwater lines that prevent flooding, manage runoff, and protect properties from water damage through strategic water collection, diversion, and infiltration using engineered solutions for residential and commercial applications.
Sewage Pumps & Alarms
Sewage pump and alarm services provide installation, maintenance, and repair of wastewater lifting stations and high-water alert systems, ensuring reliable sewage disposal for below-grade fixtures while preventing basement flooding and environmental contamination through automated pumping and early warning notifications.
Sewer Replacement
Sewer replacement services provide complete renewal of failing wastewater lines using traditional excavation or trenchless methods, addressing deteriorated pipes, root intrusion, and collapsed sections with new materials that ensure reliable drainage, prevent property damage, and comply with current codes through expert installation.
Trenchless Bursting
Trenchless bursting services replace deteriorated underground pipes by fragmenting existing lines while simultaneously pulling new pipes through the same path, requiring only small access pits at entry and exit points, minimizing property disruption while upgrading sewer, water, or gas lines with larger capacity modern materials.
Catch Basin Cleaning
Catch basins collect debris and prevent drainage system clogs, but they need regular cleaning to function properly. Our professional catch basin cleaning services help prevent flooding, water damage, and foul odors by ensuring proper stormwater drainage.
Sewer Inspections
Both Residential and Commercial sewer systems need regular inspections to prevent costly backups, leaks, and disruptions. Proline Plumbing provides professional sewer inspection services to identify clogs, cracks, root intrusions, and other issues early, helping you keep your business running smoothly and avoid unexpected emergencies.
Lift Stations
Sewer lift station services encompass design, installation, maintenance, and repair of industrial-grade pumping facilities that transport wastewater across elevation changes, utilizing powerful pumps, control systems, and monitoring equipment to ensure continuous sewage flow for communities and large commercial properties.
Sewer Lining
Sewer lining services provide trenchless pipe rehabilitation using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology or pull-in-place liners, creating seamless new pipes within existing damaged sewers without excavation, restoring flow capacity while sealing cracks, joints, and root intrusion points through minimally invasive installation methods.
Open Trench Sewer Repair
Open trench sewer repair services utilize traditional excavation techniques to expose damaged pipes for direct repair or replacement, providing complete access for addressing severe damage, multiple connection points, or complex repairs where trenchless methods aren't suitable, ensuring thorough solutions with proper bedding and backfill procedures.
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation trenching uses pressurized water and vacuum technology to dig safely and efficiently with minimal damage to surrounding areas. This non-destructive method is ideal for utility installation, landscaping, and underground repairs.
Sewer Cleaning
Sewer cleaning aids in clearing blockages within the sewer line before they cause backups or costly repairs. Our advanced sewer cleaning methods provide you with peace of mind that your sewer line will be back to running in full functioning order in no time
Sewer Questions, Answered
One question per service, answered by our Vancouver technicians. Each service page has more.
What’s the difference between a residential and commercial storm drain system?
Residential systems are typically smaller and designed for yards, driveways, and foundations. Commercial systems handle larger volumes of water and often include additional features like catch basins, culverts, or retention ponds to manage runoff safely.
What Are Signs My Sewer Ejector Pump Is Failing?
Common signs include unusual noises, frequent cycling, sewage odors, water not draining properly, or the alarm going off.
What Are Signs That I Need My Sewer Line Replaced?
- Frequent backups or slow drains throughout multiple fixtures in your home or business.
-
Foul or unusual odors coming from drains, yard, or near sewer lines.
-
Soggy or sunken spots in your yard, which may signal underground leaks.
-
Tree root intrusions causing blockages or pipe damage.
-
Cracked, corroded, or collapsed pipes, especially in older systems.
What Are Types Of Pipes That Can Be Pipe Burst?
- Clay - Durable and resistant to chemical corrosion, but prone to cracking and root intrusion over time.
- Cast Iron - Strong and long-lasting, though it can corrode and develop scale buildup inside the pipe.
- Orangeburg - Lightweight, made from wood pulp and tar, but highly prone to collapse and deterioration.
- Concrete - Common in larger sewer systems, very strong but can crack or leak as joints weaken.
- Asbestos - Once valued for strength and affordability, but hazardous if disturbed and now outdated.
What Are Signs That A Catch Basin Needs Cleaning?
A catch basin that needs cleaning often shows noticeable warning signs, such as:
-
Standing water around the drain after rain instead of draining quickly.
-
Unpleasant odors coming from the basin due to trapped debris and stagnant water.
-
Visible debris or sediment buildup inside the grate or basin.
-
Slow drainage where water takes longer than usual to clear.
-
Pooling or flooding nearby, especially during heavy rain.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a professional cleaning with Proline Plumbing & Sewer before blockages cause damage or flooding.
How Long Does A Sewer Inspection Take?
Inspections usually take 30–90 minutes, depending on the property size, pipe length, and any complications found.
