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.

Rough-In Plumbing Cost Per Fixture: Starting from $950

What Does the Term “Rough In” Refer to?

“Rough-in” is a construction term that refers to an early phase of a home building or remodeling project. During the plumbing rough-in stage, holes are drilled, studs are framed, and the basic plumbing lines are installed—but fixtures like sinks, toilets, and faucets haven’t yet been connected.

The Local Plumber You Can Rely on for Rough In Plumbing in Ottawa

Rough-in installations aren’t a DIY affair. They require specialized training and experience as well as a thorough understanding of applicable rules and regulations. A licensed plumber is the best option for any rough-in work. If you tackle the task yourself, the end result could easily be extensive and expensive damage to your residence. It’s best to hire a plumber who can do the job properly. We at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing has been doing rough-in jobs since 2006 — that’s nearly a quarter of a century.

Online reviews from satisfied customers speak for themselves. We’re fully licensed, insured, knowledgeable, and stand behind our work after the job is done. Don’t hire someone uninsured in an attempt to save money. You could lose more than you save if errors occur! You need a local plumber with a strong track record doing rough-in plumbing in Ottawa. Contact Dr. Pipe today!

Roughing In Drain Lines for Future Plumbing Fixture Installation

You might wonder why, exactly, roughing in drains for installation is important. The rationale is simple. All plumbing features must be placed a certain distance apart to comply with the building code. Violating the building code will increase the plumbing rough in cost. Why? You may face applicable fines, and the city will mandate that the building violations be corrected at your expense. When done correctly, rough-ins guarantee the plumbing infrastructure is laid out the way it should be. It allows us to ensure we have sufficient room to align with building codes, that the drains and pipes are where they should be, and that the plumbing system will operate properly. When doing a rough-in for the first time, we eliminate the need for time and money to redo it down the road.

Professional Rough In Plumbing vs. DIY

A rough in plumbing DIY project could easily end up in a disaster like clogged drains, inadequate water flow, and improperly flushing toilets, leading to backups. The damage to your home could deal a serious blow to your wallet.

Our more than two decades of experience and expertise working with local plumbing and venting codes will work to your advantage. Ahead of the plumbing installation, we can do a rough-in that meets your and the City of Ottawa’s requirements!

Plumbing Rough-In Cost

If you search the internet using terms like “plumbing rough in near me”, you might have questions about the rough-in cost per fixture. The complex process requires time, effort, and planning, and the costs reflect this. Licensed plumbers possess the experience, know-how, and problem-solving acumen to ensure fittings and pipes are installed properly.

A big chunk of the rough-in cost is the materials, and this is particularly so when using copper pipes and fittings. You can expect to pay $11 or $12 to install a 6.5-foot pipe or about $5 to install fittings.

Labour is another big component of the rough-in cost. When getting quotes for a rough-in project, most plumbers include materials and labor in their estimates.

New Construction Plumbing Rough-In: Cost Breakdown

A new construction rough-in takes less time and effort than a non-new construction one. That doesn’t mean the former is easier than the latter, however, since a new construction rough-in still requires carefully selecting the location of the sanitary ware that will be installed later on. The cost could run you approximately $950 per piece if the plumbing rough-in is for a non-condo apartment. In a condo, the per-piece cost could come in at around $1,250. The extra cost is because of the water main setup.

Rough-In Expenses for Renovations

If planning a residence remodel, you might want a new toilet, sink, bathtub, or shower. Any of these projects means plumbing work that may include pipe installation, water lines, or drain installation. It can cost around $1,000 per piece for rough-in plumbing work in homes. Add an additional $300 for commercial settings. Professional renovation work can increase home valuation and may be a better financial move than pursuing a remodel or new construction project.

FAQs

1. What is rough-in plumbing?

Rough-in plumbing is the first step in a construction or renovation project. During this stage, plumbers install water supply and drain lines before walls, floors, and fixtures like sinks and toilets are installed. This work sets up the basic structure for all future plumbing connections.

2. Why is professional rough-in plumbing important?

Good rough-in work ensures pipes and drains are in the right place, comply with building codes, and fit with future fixtures. Mistakes now can cause leaks, drainage problems, code violations, and expensive repairs later. Hiring experienced plumbers at Dr. Pipe helps avoid these issues and keeps your project moving smoothly.

3. When is rough-in plumbing completed during construction or renovation?

Rough-in plumbing is usually done after framing but before insulation, drywall, and other finishes. At this point, plumbers install the supply and drain lines where needed, making it easy to connect fixtures once the walls are finished.

4. Can changes be made after rough-in plumbing is completed?

It’s easiest to make changes before rough-in work begins. After the pipes are in and the walls are closed, changes can be costly and disruptive. Going over your plans and fixture locations with your plumber early helps ensure the rough-in fits your needs.

5. Do licensed plumbers handle rough-ins for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements?

Yes, licensed plumbers handle rough-in plumbing for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and other areas where you need new fixtures. Whether you’re renovating or building new, Dr. Pipe sets up water and drain lines for toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, and appliances to make final installation easy.
