These guys are great.. I had a list of issues and annoyances, from water pressure to replacements/additions and they sorted it all out very quickly and with top quality. I never at any point got the impression they were taking advantage and now have them on speed dial for anything else I may need done. Highly recommended.. A+++

We had a frustrating experience with another plumbing company that simply didn’t care, so finding Ron was a breath of fresh air. He is truly skilled at what he does.. the toilet and fixture installation were done beautifully and with real attention to detail. What impressed us most was that he went above and beyond without us even asking. We were planning to purchase an additional item, but Ron just took care of it. That kind of skill combined with genuine care for his customers is so hard to find. We will absolutely be calling Ron again for any future plumbing needs!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your business. Sincerely Ron and Max

This is a review of Maxim Osadchyi Maxim Osadchyi P.Eng. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services Division of Osmaks Inc. If I could give a zero stars. I would. I hired Dr. Pipe (Osmaks) in October 2023 to install two alcove-style bathtub, and tub trim, faucet and shower head in my two bathrooms. I told Maksim and Ron (his son) that after they were done, I had a tile installer booked to do the tile around the tub. During the job, they didn’t level/shim the tub, didn’t level/center the shower head line, ripped out the floor plank in front of one tub (but not the second one), and destroyed baseboards (see attached pictures). Generally, left my bathrooms a disaster. When my tile installer came to do the tile job, he notified me that the tubs were not level. I immediately contacted Dr. Pipe and Maksim gave me every excuse in the book (my floor was not straight, etc.). Although he offers “emergency 24-hour service”, he couldn’t be bothered to send someone to level my tub until Monday. Hence, my tile installer could not finish his job and I was left without the use of both my bathtubs for over a week. After work in my basement, I had water flooding. Not once, but twice. Destroyed my brand new vanity that Dr. Pipe installed. Disrupted my tenant. Still no resolution to the damaged vanity. Maxim Osadchyi also took $150 for the installation of the shower trim and I had to pause the project for some time. Texted him that I would let him know when he could come back to finish. No response. Then when I reached out to finish the trim or refund the $150, he refused to do either. Scamming me out of $150. I do not recommend this company due to their unethical behaviour.

Response from the owner:Dear Alexandra, Thank you for your review. On October 17 and 18, 2023, we installed and tested two bathtubs at your property. Two days later, you contacted us regarding concerns about one of the tubs. During that conversation, you used abusive language and slurs, which we do not tolerate. You also relayed concerns raised by your tile and drywall contractor, whom you later dismissed, regarding the tub allegedly being out of level. On October 23, 2023, I personally attended the site to inspect your concerns. My inspection confirmed that the bathtub had been installed level. The photographs from that visit show a properly leveled tub, while the surrounding drywall and wall surfaces were uneven and not level. You withheld $100 for the installation of the faucet trim in the second bathroom because you had terminated your tile and drywall contractor, and there was no confirmed timeline for the completion of the remaining work. Our last site visit and conversation occurred in October 2023, nearly three years ago. Since that time, we have not received any further complaints or reports of problems related to our work. As more than two years and eight months have passed since the project began, and the delays resulted from the site not being ready for completion on your end, we consider the agreement inactive and the project closed. Our records indicate that the remaining installation work could not proceed due to incomplete site preparations. Accordingly, we cannot accept responsibility for the resulting delays or provide any reimbursement. Sincerely, Maxim Osadchyi, P.Eng.

Basement floor drain was backing up, creating a very smelly lake on the floor. Without trying to upsell me, Ron explained the options honestly, clearly, and patiently and understood that we were strapped for cash. He snaked the line, which was the least costly fix, kept at it until he was satisfied with the drainage rate, and cleaned up everything. The price was as listed on the Dr. Pipe website, and far, far better than what I was able to get other, larger, better-known plumbing companies in Ottawa to quote me over the phone. It's also worth noting that these companies charge about $90 to actually come over and give an estimate. Dr. Pipe does not. If they come over and give an estimate and you decline to have the work done at that time, they're okay with that, and there's no charge. Overall, I was deeply impressed by Ron's competence and honesty, and his commitment when he put in extra time to make sure the job was done right. Many Ottawa plumbers are blatantly unethical and use predatory pricing on people who are in a jam. Dr. Pipe is the opposite. I can't praise them highly enough.

Response from the owner:Thank you Barry for your business. We are family owned and operated local business and always happy to help our customers with different options and services depending on their needs and budget. Thank you kindly for your honest review. Sincerely, Ron Osadchyi and Maxim Osadchyi

The roots from the tree in our front yard had found its way into our sewer pipe. After consultation on the available options, Dr. Pipe (Max and Ron) provided their expertise in solving this issue by inserting a liner in a very timely, efficient and very professional manner. They were friendly and consciencious personnel to work with.

Response from the owner:Hi Hans. Thank you for your business. It was our pleasure to help you with roots penetration in the drain. PVC reinforce liner will protect your drain line from roots and will work perfectly for years to come

​I had a minor plumbing panic when the tip of my toilet cleaner bottle fell off and got stuck deep in the drain. I was worried about a major clog and called Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing. He was incredible— He talked me through exactly what to do over the phone and reassured me that the piece was small enough that it wouldn't damage my pipes. I truly appreciate his honesty and expertise instead of him just trying to sell me a service I didn't need. I’m very grateful for the help and will definitely call them again for any future emergencies!

Response from the owner:Sammy L, thank you for your review. We’re glad we could help you over the phone and give honest advice without an unnecessary service call. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping again if you ever need us. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.

Faucet Leaking Repair

Our licensed plumbers at  Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing can often quickly fix a leaky faucet by merely tightening something that might be loose. It’s not always such an easy fix, however.

Our vans are usually equipped with everything needed to conduct a repair or install new hardware. You can count on our licensed experts to advise you whether you may need a new wash basin or sink, or if the problem can be properly fixed.

Reasons for Dripping Faucets

A dripping shower faucet can happen for different reasons. What follows are some of the primary causes of a leaky faucet in Ottawa:

Why Do Leaky Faucets Need to Be Fixed Immediately?

A small leak will waste a lot of water over time. It can also become a bigger problem down the road. For instance, it can lead to the following issues:

• Loftier Water Bills: Even a single dripping faucet can cause a noticeable increase in your utility bills. Over the course of a year, this seemingly minor issue can translate to a substantial financial burden.
• Flooring Damage: Water pooling around the base of a sink or leaking onto floors can warp wooden flooring, damage tiles, or cause carpets to mold. This can compromise the integrity of your flooring materials, requiring extensive replacements.
• Ceiling Damage: In multi-story buildings, a leaking faucet in an upper-level bathroom or kitchen can lead to water seeping through floors and damaging ceilings below. This may result in unsightly stains, sagging plaster, or even structural issues.
• Mold and Mildew Growth: Persistent moisture caused by a leak creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow. This not only affects the appearance of your home but can also lead to health problems such as allergies and respiratory issues.
• Compromised Structural Integrity: Prolonged leaks can weaken the structural elements of your home, such as wooden beams and drywall. Left unaddressed, this damage could necessitate costly renovations.

Fixing a leaky faucet promptly prevents these cascading issues, saving you money and preserving the health and safety of your home environment.
