Troubles with your water pressure in your home may present themselves in a number of different ways. The only thing that they have in common, whether you have no water pressure or low water pressure Ottawa, the result is very frustrating. If you want to make sure that you do not have any of the common issues with water pressure, there are a number of steps that you can take to find out more about your Ottawa water pressure.

Check Your Water Meter

The first thing that you are going to have to do is check your water meter. Perhaps you do not have your water meter turned all the way up, which can obviously lead to issues. This might be the quickest and easiest fix.

Look At The Main Shut Off Valve

Perhaps you have a main water shut off valve in the front of your home or on the side of the water meter. Make sure that you check to see the valves are opened the entire way. If you have a ball valve they go parallel to the pipe and if you have a gate valve, they go all the way counter clockwise.

Check The Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator is one of the common causes of no water pressure. If the pressure regulator fails, It can lead to a tremendous decrease in water pressure. If you do believe that the pressure regulator is the cause of your problems, you will contact a professional to take care of it. They could about the right fit and size of the regulator, which means that you are going to get a good replacement if that is what you are after.

Consider A Re-Pipe

One final cause of low home water pressure Ottawa is the fact that you are using older pipes. Especially if you have old galvanized pipes, the buildup inside the pipes is eventually going to reduce the flow of water in such a way that you are left with virtually unusable pipes. If this is the case, you are going to have to call us, the licensed plumbing professionals at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.

A re-pipe is going to be a large plumbing repair that you need a permit for, which means that it is always smart to call the licensed professionals who understand everything in relates to the issue of low water pressure Ottawa.

We recently had some major plumbing work done (main line and vertical stack replacement and shower base installaton) by Dr. Pipe. I am extremely satisfied with the service. Max, the owner, answered our phone calls and texts right away and was very patient dealing with all of our questions. The quote was very resonable and the job was done within days professionally!

Patricia Morash

Max arrived the same day we requested service. He was on time, polite and professional. Their prices are reasonable and posted on their website. Thank you for a job well done.

I consulted five different plumbing companies regarding the replacement of my drain pipe and possibly installing a backwater valve. Dr Pipe was by far superior in knowledge, professionalism, and honesty. While some plumbers tried to sell unnecessary products by giving false information (ex: saying a product was required by the building code when ,in fact, it was not), Dr Pipe did not. Dr Pipe did excellent work and in a timely fashion. The house inspector was impressed with the quality of their work.

After research, I selected Dr. Pipe to replace our 51 year old main internal water shut off valve. I dealt with Max. His e-mail and phone responses were quick, straightforward and detailed which impressed me. Pictures of the necessary work were forwarded to him and a quote returned in short order. Pricing was transparent and all inclusive – no last minute extras. His accommodating several changes to the work date by me spoke volumes for customer service. Max completed everything without issue. As seniors, we do not need drama in our lives and dealing with Dr. Pipe was stress free.

I had Ron come to my condo unit to replace the toilet wax ring and unclog the bathroom sink. He did a great job, gave me pictures of the toilet pipe and cleaned up after the end of the job! I’m very satisfied with his work. Would hire again!!

Excellent service. My go to plumber from now on. Did a difficult job in an old house and saved me the need to get tiling done. Yay Max and Ron!

Once again, we had a great experience with Dr. Pipe (Osmaks) and would not hesitate to use this firm again for future plumbing needs. This time, we hired them to replace our kitchen faucet and our bathroom faucet and drain. We also asked them to provide a solution for our broken outdoor garden hose tap. The kitchen faucet replacement was assigned to Ron Osadchyi. The old kitchen faucet was a bit stubborn, but Ron managed to get it off and got the new one installed. The faucet/drain replacement for the pedestal sink in the bathroom proved to be a more challenging two-man job, but Ron and Maxim rose to the challenge. After sizing up the situation with our garden hose tap, they recommended putting a new line through from the basement to the exterior wall at a more convient location, and they offered a very reasonable estimate. We didn't have to wait long at all, as they managed to fit in the work later that same day. Ron took the time to explain what they had done and the proper way to close and drain the new line at the end of the season to prevent freezing and bursting. If we had to sum up our experience, we would say that Dr. Pipe was responsive, professional and reasonably priced. Glad to have a plumbing firm we can trust here in Ottawa!

I had to have my water supply line to my house replaced as it was leaking. I called a number of companies and they said they would have to dig everything up with a backhoe to replace the water line. This included ripping up the interlock and also shoring up the porch. Responsibility for restoring the interlock would be on me at my expense. I called Dr.Pipe, who advertises trench-less water line replacement, where they only dig at the water shutoff valve and in the basement. They then push the new pipe through, and provided they do not hit a large rock, replacement is done with a minimum of disruption. Dr Pipe successfully replaced my water line in less than a day and cleaned everything up. Not only did I not have to deal with and pay for the interlock restoration, the price for the work was about 60% of what the backhoe people wanted. I am extremely happy with the service. Max and his crew we friendly and professional. Highly recommended.
