In Ottawa, flooding and basement leaks are common problems. If you’re looking to waterproof your home, we can provide several options to help keep your basement dry. Using a multi-layer solution is the best way to protect your home and minimize unseen dangers.

Backwater valve installation. The backwater valve is a one-way valve between the city sewer line and your house. It allows water to flow from your house to the sewer but prevents the water from flowing in the opposite direction.
Weeping Tile. These are pipes that transmit groundwater away from your home to a collection point, like a sump basin. The pipes may be installed around the outer or inner perimeter of the home.
Sump Pump. A sump pump consists of a sump basin located beneath your basement floor, and a pump. Water is collected in the basin, where it is sent away from the house. When installing a sump pump, it is best to install a backup power system. This allows for the pump to work during a power outage caused by a storm or other fault.

How Does a Sump Pump Work?

Your house may not need a sump pump. The best way to determine your house’s waterproofing needs is to call us for a free, no-obligation inspection. We’ll assess your home and determine which solutions should be applied.

A sump pump works by being connected to your weeping tile. Water is collected by the weeping tile and drains into the sump pump basin. When the water rises to a specific level, the sump pump turns on automatically to drain the sump basin. The water is deposited pipes to a place away from your home’s foundation.

Installing Your Pump

For the best operation of your pump, it should be installed by a licensed professional plumber like Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. We install each of the components and make sure the connections between them are solid. In our installation process, we consider the optimum position to place each item for maximizing flood prevention. Selecting us for your service means that you can save on sump pump installation. We can guide you in applying for rebates from the City of Ottawa that drastically reduce your project costs.

Choosing the Right Pump

Pumps may be automatic (with a backup power supply) or manually driven. Manual ones may be cheaper, but the automatic pumps are usually recommended in most cases. When choosing a sump pump, you should consider factors like horsepower, voltage, cord length, and backup power sources. It’s a lot to consider. We’ll work with you to decide if you need a sump pump and the best one for your home.

What Does a Sump Pump Cost with a City of Ottawa Rebate?

Each sump pump installation is different. It’s best if you call us for a free, no-obligation inspection. This will help us determine what system components work best for your needs and your budget. We can provide assistance with preparing the paperwork to take advantage of rebates offered by the City of Ottawa.

We recently had some major plumbing work done (main line and vertical stack replacement and shower base installaton) by Dr. Pipe. I am extremely satisfied with the service. Max, the owner, answered our phone calls and texts right away and was very patient dealing with all of our questions. The quote was very resonable and the job was done within days professionally!

Patricia Morash

Max arrived the same day we requested service. He was on time, polite and professional. Their prices are reasonable and posted on their website. Thank you for a job well done.

Vicki Sima

I consulted five different plumbing companies regarding the replacement of my drain pipe and possibly installing a backwater valve. Dr Pipe was by far superior in knowledge, professionalism, and honesty. While some plumbers tried to sell unnecessary products by giving false information (ex: saying a product was required by the building code when ,in fact, it was not), Dr Pipe did not. Dr Pipe did excellent work and in a timely fashion. The house inspector was impressed with the quality of their work.

After research, I selected Dr. Pipe to replace our 51 year old main internal water shut off valve. I dealt with Max. His e-mail and phone responses were quick, straightforward and detailed which impressed me. Pictures of the necessary work were forwarded to him and a quote returned in short order. Pricing was transparent and all inclusive – no last minute extras. His accommodating several changes to the work date by me spoke volumes for customer service. Max completed everything without issue. As seniors, we do not need drama in our lives and dealing with Dr. Pipe was stress free.

I had Ron come to my condo unit to replace the toilet wax ring and unclog the bathroom sink. He did a great job, gave me pictures of the toilet pipe and cleaned up after the end of the job! I’m very satisfied with his work. Would hire again!!

Nola Juraitis

Excellent service. My go to plumber from now on. Did a difficult job in an old house and saved me the need to get tiling done. Yay Max and Ron!

Geoff McGuire

Once again, we had a great experience with Dr. Pipe (Osmaks) and would not hesitate to use this firm again for future plumbing needs. This time, we hired them to replace our kitchen faucet and our bathroom faucet and drain. We also asked them to provide a solution for our broken outdoor garden hose tap. The kitchen faucet replacement was assigned to Ron Osadchyi. The old kitchen faucet was a bit stubborn, but Ron managed to get it off and got the new one installed. The faucet/drain replacement for the pedestal sink in the bathroom proved to be a more challenging two-man job, but Ron and Maxim rose to the challenge. After sizing up the situation with our garden hose tap, they recommended putting a new line through from the basement to the exterior wall at a more convient location, and they offered a very reasonable estimate. We didn't have to wait long at all, as they managed to fit in the work later that same day. Ron took the time to explain what they had done and the proper way to close and drain the new line at the end of the season to prevent freezing and bursting. If we had to sum up our experience, we would say that Dr. Pipe was responsive, professional and reasonably priced. Glad to have a plumbing firm we can trust here in Ottawa!

I had to have my water supply line to my house replaced as it was leaking. I called a number of companies and they said they would have to dig everything up with a backhoe to replace the water line. This included ripping up the interlock and also shoring up the porch. Responsibility for restoring the interlock would be on me at my expense. I called Dr.Pipe, who advertises trench-less water line replacement, where they only dig at the water shutoff valve and in the basement. They then push the new pipe through, and provided they do not hit a large rock, replacement is done with a minimum of disruption. Dr Pipe successfully replaced my water line in less than a day and cleaned everything up. Not only did I not have to deal with and pay for the interlock restoration, the price for the work was about 60% of what the backhoe people wanted. I am extremely happy with the service. Max and his crew we friendly and professional. Highly recommended.
