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.
I definitely would not hesitate recommending Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing to friends, neighbors, and anyone else. I appreciated the clear and no-nonsense communication with Maxim, and the great job his crew did. I needed to have my old lead water service line replaced, and opted for the trenchless “torpedo method” offered by Dr. Pipe. The guys got here bright and early in the morning, and by 3pm everything was done with only one small excavation at the city valve (filled and ready to patch up), and left the basement and driveway cleaner than they were before they got here. They got right down to business and worked hard, fast and professionally until it was done, with only a short break for lunch. And it cost about half of what other companies had quoted me for digging a trench and messing up the whole property (and taking two or three days to do it). True, we were lucky the torpedo didn’t hit any big rock, but even if it had, it would most likely still have been a great choice (with less disruption) than the others.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr.Gobeil for your business. It was pleasure to help you with your old lead main water line replacement. Let me know if you need any plumbing work in the future. Sincerely Max, Denis and Sergey.
It’s important to get ahold of eavestroughs Ottawa cleaning pros as soon as possible and early on in the spring before too much rain falls, which will only complicate the cleaning process. You need your gutters to be in full working order so they can divert excess rainwater or melted snow away from home. By directing water away from your house, it reduces the likelihood of basement and foundation damage or potential flooding. However, dead leaves are all it takes to accrue inside of the gutter to clog it and force it to stop working.
We all know that winters in Ottawa come with heavy snowfall. Once spring rolls around, the snow starts melting. This means heavy water flow through downspouts, eavestroughs and floor drains. To prevent damage to your home, you should clean these orifices. The best drain cleaning service in Ottawa can be found at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. We also inspect the floor drains for signs of leakage.
For cleaning the downspout, you can:
- Perform preventative actions, like installing a leaf strainer to catch tree debris;
- Install underground tiling at the drain of a downspout. There should not be a backup where the downspout and ground meet. This area must have a proper cement base;
- Call Dr. Pipe to clean the downspout using a sewer snake;
- Verify the splash block for your downspout is large enough. It should also be inclined away from the house foundation;
- Plastic or aluminum downspouts should be used instead of galvanized steel.
Call Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services for help clearing your downspout.
Protecting your floor drain from damage is critical. It’s one of the most critical parts of your home’s plumbing.
When assessing your floor drain, you should:
- Make sure that there is no blockage;
- Free easy-to-remove, visible debris with a tool like a plunger;
- Pull out trash if it can be done easily, making sure to use gloves;
- Push standing water down the drain after a bath or washing machine cycle.
- Clear the floor drain using half cup of vinegar followed by ¼ cup of white vinegar. This can be performed about three times per year.
Some Recommendations You Should Know When Cleaning Your House Gutters
- Scoop out the gunk, scrape up what is difficult to remove, and then spray the pathway clean. Keep a close out for small sticks or other debris that might slip into the enclosed portions of gutter and get stuck inside: It’s a clog just waiting to happen! An investment in toppers for the gutters or the use of screens specifically designed for eaves troughs can minimize the amount of work you have to do to the next cleaning session.
If you cannot, for whatever reason, clean the gutters on your own, you contact the professionals at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services to do the job for you. A few extra dollars hiring a pro is money more than well spent.
