​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.

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

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

How Do You Know If You Need Your Sewer Drain Repaired or Replaced?

If you think there’s something wrong with your sewer drain, but you aren’t quite sure, please don’t DIY the solution. The best thing you can do is call Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. We will perform a free, no-obligation drain inspection and come up with a solution for your drain repair. 

Some of the symptoms you should definitely call us about include:

  • Pipes that are broken, or have visible cracks, are offset, or completely collapsed
  • Blockages, which may be due to grease or foreign objects, that can disrupt water flow
  • Corrosion from deterioration of older pipes breaking down with are
  • “Bellied” pipes: a badly installed pipe may sink too low to work properly
  • Leaks at the joints of pipes due to the seals between parts degrading
  • Roots from trees and shrubs causing damage to the pipelines
  • Old pipes deteriorating and becoming a serious problem.

If any of these problems apply to you, we can assess the problem and offer the best solutions to repair your drains.

What Are the Drain Replacement Methods?

In Ottawa, you have a few options for drain replacement methods. Our no-obligation inspection will give us insight into which option may be best suited to your drain repair. Your choices for drain service include:

  • Traditional repair:  A trench is dug to gain access to the underground pipes. We may use heavy construction equipment to excavate your lawn, and refill the area to complete the repair. The traditional repair has the advantage of exposing the problem to our experts (and everyone else) to see.
  • Trenchless repair: A method of pipe repair that leaves your lawn relatively undisturbed. A video inspection is performed, and holes are dug at the beginning and end of the damaged section of pipe. No trench is required.
  • Pipe bursting: New pipe is passed through old, damaged pipe. The old pipe bursts as the new drainage system is set. This is best for PVC, clay, concrete, iron, terracotta and other pipe systems.
  • Pipe relining: While this method involves some digging, it is less than the traditional method.  It creates a “pipe within a pipe”. Pipe relining is best used to seal cracks, and repair holes, and damage caused by roots and rust.

Trenchless Drain Repair vs Traditional

Ottawans can claim a few advantages using trenchless drain repair over traditional repairs, like:

#1. Trenchless drain repair will save your time

  • Trenchless drain repair can be completed in one day.  The most time-consuming parts are the video inspections at the beginning and the end, and drilling the repair holes. A traditional method can cause so much disruption to your household for days.  During that time, you can’t use the bathroom, shower, do laundry, or do any activity where the water goes down the drain.

#2. Threnchless drain repair will save your money

  • A trenchless repair is performed using seamless pipes, which don’t have joints like traditional pipes.  Seamless pipes are made from HDPE, which is an extremely robust material that will last for decades and you will save some amount of money.

#3. Trenchless drain repair will help system to work better

  • Since seamless pipes use HDPE, they are less likely to need repairs than traditional pipes. Recall that trenchless repairs don’t have joints.  This may result in better flow than you initially had from traditional sewer pipes.

Sewer Replacement Cost

Our best estimate of sewer replacement costs comes from our no-obligation inspection.  Call us today to schedule one. Every case is different, but the sooner you call, the faster we can address the situation.

FAQs

1. What is sewer drain replacement?

Sewer drain replacement means removing an old or broken sewer pipe and installing a new one. This helps your wastewater flow properly, preventing backups, leaks, foul odors, and property damage.

2. What are the signs that my sewer drain may need to be replaced?

Some warning signs are slow drains in your home, frequent clogs, bad sewer smells, water collecting in your yard, or tree roots growing into the pipe. These problems usually mean the pipe is cracked, collapsed, or badly damaged and can’t be fixed by just cleaning.

3. How is sewer drain replacement carried out?

First, a detailed inspection is conducted, often with a video camera, to identify and assess the damage. After finding the problem, the damaged part of the pipe is replaced. Depending on the situation, this might mean digging up the area or using a trenchless method that needs less digging and causes less mess.

4. How long does sewer drain replacement take, and will it affect my property?

How long it takes depends on how long and how damaged your sewer line is. Traditional replacement may need digging that can disturb your yard, but trenchless methods usually cause less mess and are faster. After checking your pipes, Dr. Pipe can give you a clear idea of how long it will take and what to expect.

5. Who is responsible for sewer drain replacement in Ottawa?

In Ottawa, homeowners are usually responsible for the sewer line on their property up to where it connects to the city’s main sewer. The city is responsible for the public sewer main under the street.
