​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.

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

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

We Guaranty Best Prices in Ottawa on Pipe Bursting Services!

Pipe bursting is both a reliable and effective pipe replacement, under the right conditions.  Depending on soil conditions, you may end up with a pipe that is up to 150% larger in diameter than the initial pipe. Pipe bursting may not be suitable for every situation, like densely populated urban areas, due to the risk of cave-ins.  Where it is an appropriate choice, it is usually the most cost-effective choice.  This is due to the speed of installation, long-term reliability, and contained nature of the installation.

What is Pipe Bursting Technology?

This is a method of trenchless plumbing, where clients may not want to excavate their property to replace damaged pipes. The bursting head (a large, cone-shaped device) is forced through the damage pipes underground. This destroys up the old pipe while simultaneously lays new pipe made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This method is preferred because it provides a seamless replacement from the inside.

The Pipe Bursting Process

Bursting the pipe and laying the replacement uses the following steps:

  • Two holes are dug just outside of both ends of the damaged section of the pipe.
  • The steel cable that guides the bursting head through the pipe is inserted into the damaged pipe.
  • The bursting head connected to HDPE is pulled through the pipe using the steel cable.
  • As the old pipe breaks, new HDPE is laid to replace it.  Old pipe is forced into the soil.
  • The new HDPE pipe is connected to the sewer system.

Pipe Bursting Benefits

There are several advantages to pipe bursting in trenchless plumbing repair:

  • The cost, mess, and time loss with excavation are avoided.
  • The ability to move around and use your property is minimally diminished.
  • Repairs follow the current utility layout, so there is a lower risk of failure.
  • Potentially better fluid flow than the previous pipe originally had, if HDPE pipe is larger than the initial pipe.
  • HDPE pipe is less likely to corrode.

FAQs

1. What does pipe bursting involve, and how does the process work?

Pipe bursting is a trenchless technique for replacing damaged underground pipes without digging up your whole yard. A specialized bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it outward while simultaneously pulling a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into place. Only small access pits are needed at the start and end of the line, allowing the existing pipe to be replaced from within.

2. Why choose pipe bursting instead of traditional pipe replacement?

Pipe bursting lets you avoid major digging that can damage your yard, driveway, or other areas. It is usually faster, costs less in labor and repairs, and causes less mess than traditional trenching and replacement.

3. What types of pipes can be replaced with pipe bursting?

Pipe bursting can replace many types of old pipes, like sewer lines, water mains, and other underground pipes. It works on clay, concrete, cast iron, and some types of plastic pipe, making it a flexible option for both homes and businesses.

4. Will pipe bursting damage my yard or landscaping?

Since pipe bursting is trenchless, only small holes are dug at each end of the pipe. There’s no need for big trenches, so your yard stays mostly untouched. After the new pipe is in place, the holes are refilled. Dr. Pipe works to keep your yard looking good while finishing the job quickly.

5. How long does a pipe bursting project usually take?

How long the project takes depends on the pipe’s length, condition, and accessibility. For most homes, pipe bursting can be completed in just a few days, which is much quicker than the weeks required for traditional digging and replacement. The trenchless method helps get the job done faster and with less mess.
