I interviewed several plumbing companies for my complete drain replacement project before selecting “Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing” to do the job. I was reassured by the respectful communication style of Maxim (owner), and his willingness to listen to my preferences, based on what I had learned prior to committing to this project. Scheduling was flexible, and the job was completed in a very timely manner. Andryi (main plumber) was extremely experienced in this type of work, and was very tidy in his approach. He was able to access all of the original drain pipes by creating “partial” trenches, and working through those areas under the concrete slab, without having to dismantle certain finished parts of my basement. All of the concrete debris and aggregate (stones) were placed in feed bags while the job was being done, which kept the mess at a minimum and facilitated the process of back filling once the work was done. I was given a choice of styles of back water valve, with the advantages of each shown to me. All in all, the entire process was a comfortable experience, despite the “invasive” elements of such a project. Andryi, Ron and Max were all very pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend this company for any plumbing work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your business. It was our pleasure to work for you. Sincerely, Max, Andryi and Ron
I highly recommend these guys! A note from my wife who was very appreciate of the work done by Max and Ron:
“Let me set the stage. I am a new mother attempting my best to function on the small pockets of sleep that are offered randomly daily. We were also mostly exclusively cloth diapering at the time. I was heavily dependent on my dishwasher and laundry machine. Enter in a plumbing emergency! The downstairs laundry sink starts backing up and overflowing. Turns out it’s going to require breaking the concrete and replacing some pipes.
This stressful situation could have easily turned out to be a nightmare but it was handled with such care and professionalism. Highly recommended their plumbing services! Honest hard working professionals. I was extremely grateful for their help and expertise! They were efficient and amazing. 5+ stars” – Dominique
Response from the owner:Thank you for your business Sunny. Let us know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Ron and Max
Dr. Pipe did replacement underground drain inside of the basement for my house with a very reasonable price. They did it very professionally and took pictures during the job for me. Thanks Dr. Pipe
Response from the owner:Hi Sami. Thanks for your business. Let me know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Max, Ron and Andriy
The work done by Dr Pipe was timely and of the highest quality. I could not imagine a more accomodating group to work with. Max was extremely helpful when dealing with my insurance company. His intervention got the insurance company to make the maximum payment the policy could cover. Without it the insurance company was only offering about 1/3 of their final payment. I have no reservations recommending Dr Pipe to anyone. I will always call them first for any of my needs in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you Dough for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your drain underground pipe relining project and I glad that insurance company cover almost all cost. Sincerely Max, Andryi and Ron
Maxim and his team were very helpful in setting up our flood prevention system. They were very detail oriented with their design and explained it to us so that we understood the system. They were patient and supportive with rebate applications, and were available to start work very quickly. They communicated well and the work was done well. Hopefully we’ll never have to use our sump pump and backwater values but I am confident they will protect us. Very happy and would recommend Dr. Pipe and Osmaks plumbing
Response from the owner:Hi, Patrick. Thank you very much for your business. Sincerely, Max, Andryi and Ron
Great service and pricing. They were able to start the work quickly and had it finished in one day. Courteous workers. The water line replacement was done with very little impact on land scaping.
Response from the owner:Hi Ellen. Thank you very much for your business. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max, Ron and team.
I definitely would not hesitate recommending Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing to friends, neighbors, and anyone else. I appreciated the clear and no-nonsense communication with Maxim, and the great job his crew did. I needed to have my old lead water service line replaced, and opted for the trenchless “torpedo method” offered by Dr. Pipe. The guys got here bright and early in the morning, and by 3pm everything was done with only one small excavation at the city valve (filled and ready to patch up), and left the basement and driveway cleaner than they were before they got here. They got right down to business and worked hard, fast and professionally until it was done, with only a short break for lunch. And it cost about half of what other companies had quoted me for digging a trench and messing up the whole property (and taking two or three days to do it). True, we were lucky the torpedo didn’t hit any big rock, but even if it had, it would most likely still have been a great choice (with less disruption) than the others.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr.Gobeil for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your old lead main water line replacement. Let me know if you need any plumbing work in the future. Sincerely Max, Denis and Sergey.

What’s the Cause?
If the drain is blocked or clogged up, your washing machine won’t drain. The primary problem could be a clogged washing machine drain pipe or a clogged hose. It’s best not to assume – get an expert opinion. Upon careful investigation, an expert plumber might determine that the real issue is the hose, drain pipe, or outlet. It’s also possible that both the washer drain hose and the outlet might be jammed. If the washing machine hose has a kink in it, you could experience drainage issues because of that. The primary contributors, if your washer drain or drain pipe is clogged, include hair, lint, threads, dirt, oil, debris, foreign objects, bacteria, and soap scum.
What Are Your Options If Your Washing Machine or Washer-Dryer Combo is Blocked?
When your washer-dryer or washing machine drain is clogged, it’s easy to worry. What follows are some tips that might unclog washing machine drain pretty quickly.
Tip 1: Clean Out the Trap
The first thing you should do is clean out the trap. It is attached to the drain. Are you comfortable attempting this task? If not, call a professional plumber.
Tip 2: Add Baking Soda and Vinegar to Boiling Water
One popular DIY option is to combine soda, vinegar, and boiling water. Pour the solution down the drain. While the solution will help dissolve clogged laundry drains, it will have serious side effects over time. The popular DIY method will damage your drain. Why? Baking soda is abrasive and will destroy the structural integrity of your drain over time. If you need help to unclog the washing machine drain, we at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing can’t recommend using baking soda and vinegar to remedy a situation.
Tip 3: Use a Drain Snake to Unclog the Drain
If a washing machine drain line is clogged in Ottawa, you can also try a drain snake to fix the problem. You’ll need special tools and specific skills to effectively use the drain snake method. Calling a plumber who can do the job right might make more sense.
Tip 4: Use Chemical Drain Cleaner
A chemical drain cleaner might seem like a convenient option. However, it can cause pipes to waste away, metal pipes to disintegrate, and plastic pipes to distort. It might not happen if you use it just once, but why take the risk?
Tip 5: Rinse With a High-Pressure Cleaner
Unblocking a washer drain using a high-pressure cleaner is a good option. It’s worth trying.
Tip 6: Call a Plumber
Your best bet if none of the other tips work is to call a professional plumber. Whether you need help with a washing machine drain clogged or laundry drain clogged in Ottawa, you can count on us at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing for help. Do you see standing water and don’t know how to fix the situation? Get in touch for assistance.
Tips to Avoid Washing Machine Drain Line Clogs
What follows are a few things to remember to avoid washing machine drain pipe clogging.
Use a Lint Catcher
Using a lint catcher is an effective way to keep your washer’s drain pipe from getting clogged up and overflowing. It’s installed on the end of the drain pipe to contain debris so it doesn’t get into the drain. You’ll be able to avoid laundry drain clogged issues.
Change the lint catcher monthly to ensure more debris and dirt are caught. While various types of lint catchers are available, you should get the metal mesh style. They are inexpensive and tend to capture more lint than lint catchers with fabric mesh.
Snake Your Drain Frequently
Use a drain snake to clean your washer’s drain pipe. Doing this regularly will reduce the odds of the drain getting clogged. A plumber’s drain snake is an especially efficient way to snake a drain. It will break through any blockages.
