Sincerely, Max and Ron
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
Honest and clear explanation. And a good price. Thanks.
Response from the owner:Hi Adam. Thank you for your business. Let us know if you need more service. Sincerely Maxim, 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
Dr. Pipe did replacement underground drain inside of the basement for my house with a very reasonable price. They did it very professionally and took pictures during the job for me. Thanks Dr. Pipe
Response from the owner:Hi Sami. Thanks for your business. Let me know if you need more plumbing services. Sincerely, Max, Ron and Andriy
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
Maxim and his team were very helpful in setting up our flood prevention system. They were very detail oriented with their design and explained it to us so that we understood the system. They were patient and supportive with rebate applications, and were available to start work very quickly. They communicated well and the work was done well. Hopefully we'll never have to use our sump pump and backwater values but I am confident they will protect us. Very happy and would recommend Dr. Pipe and Osmaks plumbing
Response from the owner:Hi, Patrick. Thank you very much for your business. Sincerely, Max, Andryi and Ron
Great service and pricing. They were able to start the work quickly and had it finished in one day. Courteous workers. The water line replacement was done with very little impact on land scaping.
Response from the owner:Hi Ellen. Thank you very much for your business. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max, Ron and team.

Leak Repair & Leak Detection in Ottawa

Undetected leaks can do a number on Ottawa residences. Plumbing leaks can cause serious water damage and result in higher-than-normal water bills. When leaks are not found and fixed sooner rather than later, they could lead to mildew and mould formation, structural damage, basement flooding, and other extensive damage. 

If you suspect a water leak in your home, contact our licensed plumbing professionals in Ottawa immediately for a plumbing leak detection test. We’ll book a service call, find the source of the problem, and conduct the right leak repair to solve the issue.

Contact our Ottawa plumbers today for water leak detection and repairs!

Our Leak Detection Procedure

Some water leaks are easy to identify. They include water pooling around a water heater or a dripping faucet. However, hidden leaks are harder to find without performing evasive procedures like excavating your foundation or tearing into walls.

The good news is that Dr. Pipe has the right tools of the trade and enough skilled plumbing professionals to conduct leak detection services. We’ll find the source of the leak and perform an effective fix rather than a mere patch-up job.

Common Leaks

There are certain areas of the home where leaks tend to occur. Our plumbing experts have experience finding and fixing leaks in the following areas:

Toilet Leaks

  • Toilets can leak in various ways. Some toilet leaks are easier than others to identify. Non-functional flaps or fill valves, for example, could be the source of hard-to-detect leaks.

Faucet Leaks Inside The Wall

  • You won’t have trouble knowing if a faucet is dripping water in a bathtub, shower, or sink. It’ll be more of a problem when hidden leaks occur behind the wall since they can cause all sorts of damage if you don’t know they’re there. That’s why you should call us about leak detection in Ottawa if you have even the slightest suspicion that there’s a leak.

Plumbing Pipe Leaks

  • Most of your residence’s pipes are behind your walls, which can easily conceal leaks. Behind-the-wall leaks can happen because of loosened fittings, high water pressure, or strain caused by blocked drains. Even small leaks can morph into big problems over time.

Fixture Or Appliance Leaks

  • Leaks from sinks in your bathroom or kitchen are often hidden away within vanities or cabinets, and dishwasher or washing machine leaks might be detected only if you move it from against the wall. Older water heaters can spring pinhole leaks that aren’t easy to detect. Unless you’re diligent about getting leak services that include pipe leak detection, you might face leak-related damage in addition to costs to fix your plumbing system.

Professional Ottawa Leak Detection & Repair

Call us at Dr. Pipe without delay if you suspect water leaks requiring water leak repair. Delay is a risk not worth taking when you consider the possible health- and financial issues that can result from plumbing leaks in Ottawa.

We have the technology and equipment to perform pipe leak detection in Ottawa before the problems worsen and cost you an arm and a leg. Using our proven methods, technology, and equipment, we’ll find the leak and repair your pipes so you can move on with life.

Signals of a Water Leak

There are some telltale signs of a water leak. Knowing what they are can help. You can shut off the water valve and call us to book an appointment.

  1. Unexplained increase in your water bill. If your water bill unexpectedly rises 10-20%, that’s a sign you may have a hidden water leak.
  2. Discoloured, bubbling, or peeling paint. Excess moisture from a hidden leak can impact the look and feel of paint on your ceilings or walls.
  3. Bizarre warm areas. Run your hands against the walls. If you feel any warm areas, you could have a large, undiscovered leak.
  4. Sound of trickling water. If you hear what sounds like trickling water coming from behind the walls of your home – when no one is using any water source — contact us immediately for water leak detection in Ottawa. If there’s a hidden leak, you need a licensed plumber to find and fix the leak in your home.
  5. Mildew or mould. If you see mildew or mould on your walls, that indicates there’s too much dampness. Unfortunately, such a scenario suggests there may be a leak. You might sell its musty scent even before you can see the mould.
  6. Wet drywall or floor. Wet or mouldy carpeting, flooring, or drywall is a telltale sign there’s a leak someplace. 
  7. Water meter reading. Assuming you have a readable water meter, check the reading. You’ll then need to stop using any water in your residence for two hours. After the two hours have expired, recheck the water meter. Any change in the reading will show you have a leak and need leak detection services in Ottawa. We’re a professional and licensed plumbing company helping homeowners.

FAQ: Leaks Detection in Ottawa

1. There are several marks on my ceiling below the main bathroom. How can I find out the cause of this?

If you don’t see any signs of leaking from fixtures in the bathroom, the only way to know for certain is to open the ceiling to investigate further. More than one opening might be needed for proper plumbing leak detection in Ottawa.

2. There’s a leak above my kitchen ceiling, and I know I might have to get my ceiling opened up. If this is so, do I have to repair the ceiling myself?

If there’s a leak from the ceiling, it will likely need to be opened. The plumbing technicians at Dr. Pipe can arrange to have any excavation work in the walls or ceilings fixed properly so you don’t have to deal with a large hole for too long. You won’t have to worry about the job getting half done when you need us for leak detection and repair.

3. Water continually drips from my ceiling. The taps and bathtub are not running. What are my options?

If the leak is constant or worsens, the root problem could be the water supply line. Close the main water shut-off valve and give us a call to deal with your water leaks in Ottawa. You need a professional plumber to identify the plumbing problem and fix it.
