​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.

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
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

Telltale Signs Your Toilet Requires a Repair

You may need to call a plumber if you’re experiencing any of these common issues:

  • Strange noises
  • The toilet runs constantly
  • Low water level
  • Weak flush and toilet clogging
  • Leaking water from the drain and puddles in those areas
  • Leaking toilet tank
  • Constant toilet issues
  • Toilet instability

Common Causes of Toilet Issues

Most, but not all, toilet problems are due to the following causes:

  • Something is lodged in the drain or toilet
  • Old flapper can’t maintain a seal
  • Damage to the tank
  • Faulty vent
  • Old washer bolts are causing leaks
  • Damaged toilet bowl
  • Refill tube is incorrectly positioned
  • Toilet isn’t sufficiently tightened to the ground
  • A clogged sewer line
  • Debris in the hardware
  • The fill valve may be old or faulty or need to be cleaned
  • Water level may be improperly adjusted
  • Loose bolts
  • Loose water supply connection
  • Too much slack in the chain
  • The supply valve is loose or requires replacement

How Much Should a Toilet Repair Cost You?

The precise cost of a toilet repair depends on various factors, like the following:

  • Are you buying the parts and performing the repair independently?
  • Are you hiring an experienced, licensed, and professional plumber, or are you retaining the services of a handyman?
  • Is the repair being bundled in with other plumbing issues work while the plumber is onsite at your home?
  • What is the root cause of the problems with your plumbing system, and what work must be done?
  • Are the replacement parts common, or will uncommon parts be needed? Are they readily available?

Various variables must be factored into the equation when determining the repair cost. When you call us, we’ll dispatch a licensed plumber to your residence to diagnose the problem and provide an upfront quote for the work required to fix the issue. You won’t get any invoice surprises after the work is completed.

When retaining the services of a licensed and insured plumber in Ottawa, you can expect to pay in the range of $150 and $200. Depending on what you need, the cost can be higher. That’s the case if you need emergency services or more complicated repair services. Costs of fuel, materials, and other things are increasing, which will factor into plumbing rates, too.

Can I Repair a Toilet Independently, or Should I Call Dr. Pipe?

When determining whether to tackle toilet repair or replacement independently or hire a professional, like Dr. Pipe, it depends on your DIY skills and budget. We’ve seen it all when it comes to DIY home plumbing work, and the scenes are not always pleasant.

When DIYers repair a toilet, they have to shut off the water by closing the water supply lines, remove the toilet, and then replace the toilet. It sounds easy, but even the smallest mistake can cause issues that convince DIYers to call Dr. Pipe

Since it’s your house, you get to decide whether to do the work yourself or hire a pro. If you go with the former rather than the latter, take time to learn the process from start to end. You should also need the right tools for the job, like an adjustable wrench, pliers, plunger, pipe wrench, basin wrench, plumbers putty, and more. Otherwise, you could encounter issues that lead to leaks and water damage while trying to repair a toilet. It’s up to you to decide whether possibly saving a few bucks is worth the risk.

You Can Depend on Our Emergency Service

You can depend on Dr. Pipe’s 24/7 emergency services if you have any problems with your drain pipe, water levels, toilet bowl, supply line, water in the tank, toilet leaks, toilet flapper, cold or hot water, or any other plumbing-related issues.

Ottawa plumbers typically charge different amounts depending on the services required. Case in point: You’ll spend more for a drain pipe or sewer line than to install a hot water tank.

Emergency service can be costlier than regular service calls. Dr. Pipe, however, offers affordable and dependable plumbing services whether you’re experiencing common toilet problems–like the inability to flush the toilet or clogging due to toilet paper–or more serious issues.
