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
Adam Shapiro
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
Sunny Gurm
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
Sami M
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
Doug Willard
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
Patrick Lynn
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
Ellen Bruce
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.

Are both toilets clogged in your two-bathroom home?

No matter how many bathrooms you have, a plumbing system often requires more than toilet snaking or plunging a toilet, especially in Ottawa during the colder months when pipes can freeze.

Day or night, any time of year, our friendly, reliable, and quick plumbers help you avoid a plumbing emergency.

Toilet Clogged? Here Are Your Warning Signs

We all know we have a problem when the toilet backs up and overflows.  You may also have a problem if the toilet doesn’t empty completely, or partially drains, or leaks.  Hearing a hissing or trickling sound is a strong indicator that something is clogging the plumbing.

We recommend calling a reputable plumbing service when you notice these warning signs.

  • Strange gurgling sounds 
  • The toilet doesn’t flush and continues backing up
  • No flushing, even after plunging a toilet

What Causes Clogged Drains?

Clogs generally don’t occur immediately, which is why we usually don’t notice them until the symptoms are obvious.  Our normal, everyday activities can send grease, hair, dirt, food waste, and other things into our plumbing system over time.  What we wash down the drain accumulates in the pipes and restricts water flow.

Toilets are especially vulnerable. We tend to think that toilets are robust enough to handle anything.  They are the favorite dumping ground of toddlers for various household items, like keys.  We tend to flush several items down the toilet that should be disposed in other ways.  Personal care tissues and baby wipes (even the ones advertised as flushable) tend to be the most common culprits.  These clogs are difficult to resolve with a plunger.  If you’re suffering with a clog, especially if you use such items, it’s best to call a licensed plumber like Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.  We’ll perform a no-obligation inspection to identify the problem and come up with the best solution to correct it.

Unclogging a Blocked Toilet The Right Way

There are plenty of DIY remedies for unclogging a blocked toilet. Some homeowners try plunging a toilet in Ottawa or snaking a toilet, but is that the right way?

  • YOU CAN TRY PLUNGING THE TOILET, but that plunger may not be as handy as you think. Plunging a badly blocked toilet can make the clog worse because low manual pressure only pushes the clog further out of reach.
  • BAKING SODA & VINEGAR OR OTHER DRAIN CLEANERS may partially break down a clog, but studies show that baking soda and vinegar do not break down greasy clogs. The abrasiveness in baking soda can also damage your drain pipes over time, and Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing doesn’t recommend this mixture for DIY drain cleaning. 
  • CALL A PLUMBER. We’re fully experienced in repairing a plumbing disaster, especially after a DIY attempt is made. Our best recommendation is to call a professional plumber and avoid a costly mistake!

What you should do when you have a drain backup in Ottawa is call Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.  Our team of expert plumbers will schedule a mutually convenient time to perform an inspection and assess the problem. Then we’ll review the results of our findings, what our recommended solutions are, and what the next steps should be.  You’ll receive a quote that is fair and honest.  We won’t try to up-sell you with unnecessary add-ons, because our team is not paid by commission.  We work quickly and efficiently to restore your home and minimize disruptions to your life.

What Can You Expect Choosing Us for the Repairs?

When you call Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services, we will give you our best service.  Qualified and licensed professionals will professionally perform your sewer drain replacement quickly.  We also give our customers

  • A fair and honest quote up front

We may even recommend a new toilet installation for older toilets that keep clogging.

Tips How to Prevent Clogged Toilet

These are just some ways that you can avoid clogged pipes of your toilet.

Do Not: Do Your Own Repairs

  • Doing your own repairs can save you some money, but it could also cause many problems down the road. If you are working with something that you do not understand, chances are that you will make the issue much worse rather than making it better. You can try clearing basic clogs yourself, but anything more complicated is going to require the professional service of a plumber. A skilled plumber can diagnose and fix your problem much faster than you are able to do yourself.

Do Not: Dump Non-Organic Materials Down The Drain

  • If you use your toilet as a waste receptacle, chances are that you are going to run into trouble. If you pour paint down the toilet for example, it could lead to a serious clog that you cannot get rid of yourself. If you are pouring chemicals, motor oil, paint thinner, and spackle down the pipes, it will pollute the local water supply and might destroy your pipes.

Do Not: Overfeed The Garbage Disposal

  • Some people make the mistake of assuming that their garbage disposal is a replacement for their garbage can. Some things are just not ‘garbage disposal friendly’. Some fibrous items such as cornhusks and cobs, celery, and artichokes are just not meant to be. You should never pour fats, oil, or grease down the drain. If you are going to run the garbage disposal, make sure that you allow for plenty of water and soap as well.

Do Not: Flush Things That You Should Not

  • You should not flush certain things down the toilet, even if they are flushable according to the label. Band-Aids, dental floss, cigarette butts, cotton swabs, cotton balls, condoms, and moist towelettes, these all find their way into the toilet when they really do not belong there. If you want to make sure that you avoid putting additional strain on your plumbing, do not flush these down the drain.

FAQs

1. What does professional clogged pipe repair involve?

Clogged pipe repair means finding and removing blockages in your drains or main sewer lines that slow down water flow. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing uses tools like drain augers and high-pressure hydro jetting to clear away grease, hair, debris, roots, and other clogs so your plumbing works as it should.

2. What are the most common signs of clogged pipes?

Common signs of clogged pipes include slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, foul odors from your plumbing, or water backing up into other fixtures. These problems often indicate a buildup in the pipes that requires a professional to fix.

3. Should I try to unclog my pipes myself before calling a plumber?

You can try simple DIY methods, such as plunging or using a basic drain snake, for small clogs near the surface. But deeper or more stubborn blockages usually require a plumber’s tools and experience to clear them safely. Using chemical drain cleaners too often can harm your pipes and make the problem worse.

4. Can Dr. Pipe repair all types of clogged pipes?

Yes. Dr. Pipe’s licensed plumbers clear clogs in sinks, toilets, bathtubs, shower drains, and main sewer lines. For severe or recurring toilet blockages, we may use high-pressure cleaning or recommend replacement if the fixture is worn or repeatedly failing.

5. How quickly should clogged pipe repairs be handled?

It’s best to fix clogged pipes right away. If you wait, the blockage can worsen, causing backups, water damage, and more expensive repairs. Calling a professional quickly helps protect your plumbing and avoid bigger problems.
