You have probably heard that Ottawa pipe relining is a great option if you have plumbing issues that you need resolved quickly and efficiently. You may have heard the hyperbole about how progressive and innovative the process it, but chances are that you do not really have a clue as to what happens. What does a pipe relining project look like from start to finish? To take some of the guesswork out the process for you, we will explain the process for you in detail.

Step #1 – Inspection With A Video Camera

You do not want your plumbing professional to start hacking in your floors or your garden area – you want them to be sure that they are isolating the problem. This is going to help the plumbing professional to locate issues and determine what steps are necessary. Before the use of the camera, the plumbers would often have to dig up the entire pipe to find where the issues were.

Step #2 – Clearing The Blockage In The Pipes

This is where the plumbing professionals get a chance to shine, they are going to remove the blockage from your pipes altogether. They have special tools that are not available to DIY-plumbers to help clear any potential issues. What this means is that these tools often have a great deal of pressure or a great deal of force, allowing them to clear stubborn blockages that you might otherwise have a difficult time with dealing by yourself.

Step #3 – Checking The Pipes Again

You want to make sure that your plumbing professional actually takes care of the issue and makes sure that it is resolved for good – you do not want to have to call them back again in a few days. This is exactly what you get when you have a good plumbing company – they will make sure that the drains are working as needed.

Step #4 – The Actual Pipe Relining Project

This is where measuring and pipe relining come together into a great effort to permanently reline the pipe itself. There are junctions and inspection pits to make sure that future access is easy – you do not want to go through the entire process again in the future if you do have another leak somewhere.

Step #5 – The Final Inspection

After relining the pipe, there is a final inspection (both a visual inspection and an actual test with water) to ensure that your pipes are working as they should. The damaged pipe is completely restored and you are able to use your Ottawa plumbing again.

If you are looking for an Ottawa plumbing agency that is going to do the job right the first time around and one that refuses to take shortcuts, we highly recommend the professionals found at Dr. Pipe Drain And Plumbing. They have serviced the Ottawa area for a long time and understand how to make a difference with your Ottawa plumbing system.

Testimonials

Trenchless Sewer Pipe

I received two quotes for my plumbing. The quote from Dr. Pipe was good, but what I really appreciated was the fact that the professionals at Dr. Pipe took their time to look at the issue, do the research, and actually SHOW me the problem in real-time. The other company never did give me an exact quote, and I was quite worried about potential “unexpected costs.” Both Max and the rest of his crew were extremely professional, kept the area as neat and tidy as possible, and cleaned up after they were done. Despite the fact that I was not actually onsite during the entire three-day process, I felt comfortable enough to give them a key to the property. When someone actually came and took something from the property (I was expecting them to), Max actually called my private number and asked me whether this was OK. I would highly recommend the services of Dr. Pipe.

Drain Replacement, Backflow Valve, Sump Pump, Etc.

When I woke up this morning, I was not expecting my basement to have transformed into a full-blown lake. One of our neighbors recommended Dr. Pipe. Our neighbors had needed to replace some of the drains under their home and also recently had a backwater valve installed.

Max came to us and talked about the quote. One of the great things about the discussion was that he took his time and explained everything to me. I remember that Max took the time to make sure that both my partner and I were on the same page and understood everything.

I really want to be honest and admit that I was not particularly friendly that day, I had already received three different quotes, and I just wanted the work to get started. We still decided to go with Max’s company, despite the fact that we already had several other quotes. It was not just about money that we were going to pay, it was about quality, it was about trust, it is about wanting to give my business to a company that wanted ME as a customer.

I can tell you that both Max and his crew came across as polite, clean, honest, and reliable. They were extremely pleasant to work with. The quality of the work that they delivered is excellent, and it certainly added value to the home. Even our insurance rates went down because of the quality work.

It is extremely comforting to know that I have peace of mind the next time that the rain comes down. During the last late-fall storm, it was extremely comforting to hear the sump pump turn on, that sound really allows you to sleep soundly at night.

I have no doubt that the pipes are going to be fine once the tree roots are growing and the snow melts. It is comforting to know is that even if they are not fine, I know that Max is going to be a phone call away to help me set things right. I would honestly be shocked if Max somehow did not uphold the warranty that we have. Honestly, that is the level of trust that we have in Max.

Backed-Up Drain

It is not often that a plumbing company is able to save you 10,000 dollars. We had experienced a serious drain backup and received quotes from five different drain and plumbing specialists. These included some of the more popular local names, and a few that received a very high ranking on HomeStars. Most of them scoped the drain and told me all the root issues and the critical deficiencies that would continuously lead to problems. They suggested that that we crack the floor, replace the drainpipe, and have the pipe from the front lawn excavated, I would be looking at around $5-10k!

Max did the same exact research that these other companies did, but he told me that the drain was not deficient at all; in fact, it had many more years left! I know that Max was honestly biting his tongue when we discussed what these other companies had said. He rooted the drain (very fast) and there has not been a single issue with our pipes since.

Drain Work and Sump Pump Installation

Max was the first person to respond to our call for help after our basement flooded. He was quick in determining what the root of the issue was, and fixed the problem quickly. In addition to finding the issue, he also showed us a (potential) issue in our sanitary and storm water drains. He managed to find the possible issue with the drain-camera in a quick amount of time.

Max was courteous and professional when it came to helping us find future issues as well. He helped us alleviate concerns about future problems, thanks to his professional explanation. I have to admit I was also pleasantly surprised by the work of his crew. They cleaned their area thoroughly each time as well. Now I know that extensive repairs are never going to be cheap, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the pricing was. Max even helped us fill out the necessary paperwork to file for our basement flooding prevention subsidy.
