About

Built by a commercial plumber, for commercial plumbers

This tool was created by a commercial plumber to solve the problems he faced everyday on the job.

Evan was a commercial plumber working for a big union plumbing company. Everyday on the job he had to cut into pipes to do his work. Many times this routine task created huge problems for him and his co-workers. He had co-workers cut into pipes that still had water pressure even though they thought the valve was off and flooded the building. They also faced challenges draining the water from the pipes they were working on without making a huge mess. Evan experienced these problems firsthand and wanted a way to protect himself, and the company from massive liability. He created the Drain Down Pro. He and his co-workers constantly used this tool on the job. After using the Drain Down Pro for years he decided to start selling the tool globally so all plumbers could benefit.

How do commercial plumbers confirm water is shut down today?

Many commercial plumbers use the 'self-tapping screw' method, try to make a small slit in the pipe with a sawzall or drill a small hole to check if the pipe is live. These methods are very hacky, messy and risky.

How do commercial plumbers do drain downs today?

Whether commercial plumbers know or don't know if they have 1 or 50 gallons of water in a piping system that needs to be drained after they make their cut, commercial plumbers use buckets, trash cans, kitty pools, poly sheeting, etc. to collect water and protect property when cutting into pipes and catching excess water. They have no way of controlling the water and these methods are very slow and messy.

Why should I use a Drain Down Pro tool?

If you want to protect your business reputation. If you want to be safer, more professional, and retire the current hacky ways. If you like keeping your customers happy, and not spilling water all over their space. If you want to eliminate flood risk and keep your safety score really good, and your insurance really low.

Drain Down Pro vs hot tapping

The Drain Down Pro tool has nothing to do with hot tapping. Hot tapping is a way to connect to a live pipe without shutting down the system. When using a DDP, you shut off the water first. Then use the DDP to 100% confirm the water is off, and drain down any excess water before doing your work.

Do I still need a Drain Down Pro when pipe freezing?

Absolutely! The Drain Down Pro can confirm the water is 100% frozen before making that butt puckering cut!
