I hired Dr. Pipe to install a sump pump and backwater valve after a flood, replace the main stack and 65 year old, cast iron pipes under the basement floor and re-line the damaged sewer line. The work was done extremely well and on time. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much for kind words. It was our pleasure to help you with your project. Sincerely, Ron, Andreiy and Max

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish! I had an amazing experience with Maxim for my backwater valve installation. As an 85-year-old, navigating city paperwork can be overwhelming. Maxim went completely above and beyond, providing extraordinary help with navigating the city permit process and securing my RPPP grant. He saved me a massive amount of time, stress, and money. Andrew and Ron were absolutely amazing to work with — incredibly kind, helpful, and efficient. Everyone involved was highly professional and business-like from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding support and highly recommend them to anyone! If you want the job done right by true professionals, look no further!

Response from the owner:Hi Helga. It was our pleasure to help you. Thank you for your business. Sincerely, Ron, Andriy and Maxim

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+++

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

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

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.

What is the Water Main?

The municipal water system relies on a 6-inch diameter pipeline that delivers water throughout your neighborhood. Your property doesn’t link to this pipe directly – rather, a smaller service line known as a gooseneck creates the water main connection between your home and the system. The primary water main runs beneath the street or occasionally through back lanes. Municipal authorities or utility providers maintain ownership of these main lines. Property owners seeking a water main connection in Ottawa need official authorization from local authorities to proceed legally.

New Water Mains/Servicing the Water Main

Creating a water main connection to your house in Ottawa or adjusting your current setup requires official city permits. The same regulations apply when running a new water main in Ottawa or making alterations to existing systems. The city’s documentation and procedures often prove complex, particularly for property owners handling applications independently. Residents must follow Ottawa’s detailed regulations precisely. At Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing, our two decades of experience have made us experts in managing these permit requirements. While planning your water main house connection, we guide you through securing all necessary permits and approvals.

Applications for Municipal Service

The City of Ottawa offers this website as a resource for construction and renovation permit requirements. We help clarify which permits your water main connection needs and identify specific requirements for approval. All permits and authorizations must be secured before the water main installation begins.
