Excellent work. They were able to get here shortly after I called them to work on our plugged drain in our older home. Our plumber provided great advice, completed the necessary work quickly and did an excellent job fixing the drain clogs. We were very pleased to have him in our house, he wore a mask and was very polite.

Many thanks to the plumber for his excellent work. I was able to get an appointment within a day to deal with a nasty basement drain blockage. He showed up on time and didn’t leave until the clogged drains were fully fixed. He was professional and gave good advice. I will definitely call John The Plumber again for future business.

They were absolutely amazing in the plumbing service they provided. Called first for a plumbing emergency, they came quickly and more than exceeded our expectations. Our home is a mobile home; nothing was standard and they had to be creative, and search out the appropriate fittings. They were professional, straightforward, respectful of our home, personable and did a wonderful job. We would highly recommend them.

Needed to do an emergency sump pump replacement after a basement flood. John the Plumber was super efficient to book with, did quality work on the new sump pump installation and explained exactly what was going on to me as they did the work. No more broken sump pump!Would highly recommend them!

The plumber came on a plumbing emergency basis to unclog our toilet. They arrived promptly and called beforehand to let me know their estimated time of arrival. They were very professional in assessing the situation and gave me their quotes, with no hidden charges. Very reasonable. Recommended!

I highly recommend “John the Plumber”. Jonathan arrived on time and was personable and professional. After a brief assessment, he clearly explained the plumbing repair options. Not only was my plumbing situation effectively resolved, but I felt most comfortable, having been totally involved in the process.
Not surprising that this company’s ratings are so exceptional!

Burst pipes, they walked me through shutting off the water, then came to fix the pipes. Very happy with their service.

The plumber showed up on time. He was able to replace the anode rod in my hot water heater and gave me some good advice on regular maintenance. He was very courteous and pleasant to speak with. Overall, I was pleased with the service and would ask for him specifically if I need plumbing services in the future. I don’t have any suggestions on how to improve because I thought everything was done very well.

Only yesterday, my outdoor taps ceased from age and erosion, I contacted John the Plumber and was given a service date and time for the following day.

What Do Ottawa Residents Say About John The Plumber?

Used this company recently for the repair of a blocked kitchen sink. This, unfortunately (through no fault of the plumber) turned into a major repair that took 6 hours. However, the service could not have been better – incredibly fast, professional, polite, and left the house clean and tidy. Price was reasonable, and work is guaranteed for 2 years. Highly recommend John the Plumber to anyone in the Ottawa area for a clogged drain or plumbing repairs.

This is the second time in the past 6 months that I have used the services of John The Plumber in Ottawa. Riley was just here and quickly unclogged my kitchen sink using the snake. Very quick and efficient.

The plumber was very good at communicating to my parents what needed to be done. He was also very good at communicating with his apprentice and very patient in explaining the different steps and why things are done a certain way. Hearing how he was training his apprentice really impressed my parents. The professionalism and politeness far exceeded our expectations and have earned our loyalty when it comes to future plumbing needs.
It’s a refreshing change to deal with a company like yours, on time, clean, thorough, polite, and all at a fair price.

John the Plumber came out to fix our leaky faucet. He was very professional, gave us some great advice, and completed the plumbing repair quickly. Cost was extremely competitive! I think I have found my go to people for plumbing issues. Thanks!

Excellent work again from John and his plumbers who have helped us in the past. Made our bathroom renovation a breeze and did a great job, and gave us the peace of mind of knowing the plumbing has been done properly.

I cant say enough about the work! I’m very happy with it and will definitively recommend John the Plumber. The plumbers are very professional and the cost was very reasonable.
Thank you John the Plumber!

John the Plumber came to enlarge my sump pit and install 2 larger sump pumps. The price was very reasonable and the work performed was very well done. All connections were perfectly measured, the new pit perfectly leveled with the cement floor, and job site left very clean. Great communication with the company and plumber to ensure that I knew exactly what would be done before the sump pumps installation was started. Very friendly staff. I would definitely do business with you again.
