Plumber Ottawa – Same-Day Plumbing Services & Drain Cleaning

This bathroom sink wasn't draining at all. Not slowly, not partially. Completely blocked. The homeowner had already tried fixing it themselves before calling us, which is pretty common. Sometimes a plunger or a store-bought solution just doesn't cut it, especially when the clog is sitting deeper in the line.

We headed out to this Ottawa home and got to work on the pedestal sink you can see in the photo. A classic white basin with chrome fixtures, the kind you find in a lot of older bathrooms around here. We ran a drain snake down through the lavatory drain to break up and clear out whatever had built up inside.

The after photo tells the story. Water pouring straight from the faucet, disappearing right down the drain without pooling or hesitating. That's exactly what it should look like.

A drain snake lets us get past the trap and into the pipe itself, which is where stubborn clogs tend to hide. It's a straightforward fix when it's done right, and this one went smoothly.

If your bathroom sink has stopped draining and DIY fixes haven't helped, we're happy to take a look. Reach us at 613-227-7465.

A damaged or poorly connected sink drain can quickly lead to leaks, slow drainage, and water damage beneath the cabinet. We recently helped a homeowner in Ottawa dealing with exactly that. Water backing up under the sink, a P-trap that had seen better days, and some questionable fittings left behind from a previous repair.

We replaced the under-sink drain assembly and installed a properly fitted P-trap with clean ABS pipework. The drain lines were reseated and everything was tied back into the wall cleanly. No improvised connections, no flex where there should not be any. The new setup provides a secure connection and reliable drainage from the sink.

The thing about drain repairs is that a quick patch rarely holds for long. The issue usually starts somewhere small: a loose fitting, a cracked section, a trap installed at the wrong angle. Getting underneath to look at the full picture is what helps us fix it properly the first time.

We work across Ottawa, from older homes in the west end to newer builds further out. We are easy to reach and happy to take a look. Give us a call at 613-208-8888.

The bathroom sink in this Ottawa home looked fine from above. White basin, chrome faucet, nothing obviously wrong. But underneath was a different story. The drain piping had seen better days, and the sink wasn't draining the way it should.

We cleared the blockage and then repiped the drain below the sink. The after photo shows the new setup: a clean tailpiece running down from the sink basin, connecting through a proper p-trap into the drain line. It's tidy, it's solid, and it's going to last.

Older drain assemblies under bathroom sinks can get corroded, misaligned, or just worn out over time. Sometimes clearing the clog isn't enough on its own. Here, repiping the drain was the right call. It meant the homeowner wasn't going to be dealing with the same headache again a few months down the road.

Simple job on the surface. A bit more involved once we got underneath. That's how it goes sometimes, and we're glad we could sort it out properly.

The Rinnai tankless unit tucked into this Ottawa basement was running, but barely. The homeowner had noticed the hot water pressure dropping off, enough to make showers frustrating and everyday tasks take longer than they should. A tankless system depends on steady water flow to fire up properly, so low pressure is not something you can ignore for long.

We came out for a service call to figure out what was going on. The before photo shows the unit wall-mounted between storage shelves, with the existing pipe connections looking a bit tired. After working through the unit and sorting out the pressure issue, the after photo tells a cleaner story. The Rinnai is sitting solid on the wall, connections tightened up, the energy guide label fresh and visible. Everything looked the way it should.

Tankless heaters are great, but they do need attention now and then. A service call early, before small pressure problems turn into bigger ones, saves a lot of headaches down the road. This family in Ottawa got their hot water back to where it needed to be, and the unit is running the way it was designed to.

If your tankless is giving you trouble, low pressure, inconsistent heat, anything that feels off, give us a shout at 613-227-7465 and we will take a look.

The leak was coming from below the shower, not above it. That is what made this one interesting. A homeowner in Ottawa noticed the signs, water where it should not be, and called us in to take a look.

Once we opened up the ceiling below the bathroom, the problem became clear. The shower drain connection had been leaking, and the surrounding framing told the story of water that had been finding its way down for a while. You can see in the before photo how the existing ABS drain assembly sat in that joist bay, with visible residue and old buildup around the joints where things had gone wrong.

We pulled out the faulty section and reseated the drain properly. The after photo shows a clean, solid connection. Fresh fittings, tight joints, everything sitting the way it should inside that bay. The kind of repair you do not have to think about again.

Shower drain leaks are sneaky. By the time you notice something is off, water has usually been travelling for longer than you would expect. Getting into the space below and fixing it at the source is the right call, and that is exactly what we did here.

If something feels off with your shower or you are seeing unexplained moisture, reach us at 613-227-7465 and we will come take a look.
