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.

Why Sewer Clogs Require Immediate Attention

Sewer clogs won’t go away on their own. What starts as slow drainage or the occasional gurgle can turn into a plumbing emergency. Ignoring the problem can:

  • Force dirty water back into sinks, bathtubs, or toilets
  • Create unpleasant odors and unsanitary conditions
  • Put extra pressure on your pipes, leading to leaks or cracks
  • Trigger sewage overflows that damage floors, foundations, and walls

Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing is the go-to choice for Ottawa homeowners and businesses who need quick, professional sewer cleaning. Our licensed plumbers use safe, effective techniques to clear blockages and restore your system before things get worse.

When Is Sewer Line Cleaning Ottawa Necessary?

Sewer issues won’t fix themselves. Waiting too long can turn a small problem into a costly emergency. By acting on the early warning signs, you can avoid expensive damage and keep your plumbing system protected.

Common Signs of a Blocked or Damaged Sewer Line

  • Slow drains throughout the house or water pooling near floor drains
  • Wastewater backing up into toilets, sinks, or bathtubs
  • One fixture backing up into another (for example, flushing the toilet makes water back up into the shower)
  • Strong sewage odors in the basement, yard, or around drains
  • Fixture overflows or water collecting near the sewer line
  • Bubbling or gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when water is running

If you notice any of these signs, call Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing. Our licensed plumbers use advanced equipment, including augers, video camera inspections, and high-pressure hydro-jetting in Ottawa, to locate the problem, clear clogs, and restore your sewer system.

Why Do Sewer Lines Get Blocked?

Main Reasons Your Sewer Line Gets Clogged

  • Sewer blockages usually build up over time. The most common causes in Ottawa include:

Tree root intrusion

  • Tree root sewer blockage happens when roots grow into joints or cracks, expand, and block the flow.

Fat and grease buildup

  • Grease in sewer pipes solidifies over time, narrowing the passage and eventually causing blockages.

Debris and foreign materials

  • Wipes, hygiene products, paper towels, and excess toilet paper don’t break down and can clog the main line.

Misaligned, sagging, or broken pipes

  • Shifting soil, sinkholes, or settling create low spots where wastewater and solids collect.

Deteriorating materials

  • Older clay or cast-iron pipes can crack, erode, or collapse, leading to repeated clogs and backups.

Flooding or heavy rain

  • Stormwater overloads the system and pushes debris deeper into the line, causing backups.

How We Fix It?

At Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing, we rely on video camera inspections to pinpoint the root cause, then clear the problem with hydro-jetting equipment or professional augers. We’ll safely and effectively restore your sewer line. If we find structural damage, we’ll recommend a targeted repair or full replacement.

Can I Prevent a Clogged Sewer Line?

It’s possible to greatly cut down on the chances of a clog by following these steps:

1. Plant wisely

Keep landscaping, like trees and shrubs, well away from your sewer line to stop roots from breaking in.

2. Flush only what’s flushable

Only flush waste and toilet paper – never paper towels, wipes, or hygiene products.

3. Replace aging lines

If your home has cast-iron or clay sewer pipes, consider replacing them before they cause expensive problems.

4. Book preventative sewer line cleaning Ottawa

Schedule yearly sewer line cleaning. Older systems or heavy use may require more frequent service. Our hydro-jetting removes scale, grease, and debris to help prevent blockages.

FAQs About Sewer Cleaning Services 

How can I tell if my sewer line is blocked?

Common signs of a blocked sewer include several drains backing up at once, gurgling noises from toilets, unpleasant smells from drains, and wastewater pooling around the floor, sink, or tub drains.

Can I unblock my sewer line independently?

DIY efforts, such as using plungers or chemical drain cleaners, usually don’t provide long-term results. They can also cause more costly damage. Licensed plumbers have the tools, skills, and experience to do the job safely and effectively.

How much does professional sewer cleaning cost in Ottawa?

Costs depend on the severity of the clog and the method required. Basic cleaning starts at $195. Hydro-jetting or sewer line replacement will cost more. At Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing, we always provide clear, upfront quotes before starting any work.

How often should my sewer line be cleaned?

A good rule of thumb is every 18-24 months. Homes with larger households, older pipes, or frequent blockages may need more frequent maintenance.
