Ottawa-Wide Service
The old tank had been leaking for a while. Rust staining had worked its way down the wall behind it, and the pressure relief valve was doing its job, but the tank itself was finished. It had to go.
A homeowner in Ottawa called us in, and we replaced the old unit with a new 60-gallon Bradford White electric water heater. Tall tank, solid build, rated for 208V. A good fit for a busy household that needs reliable hot water without running short.
We also installed a proper shut-off valve for the new tank. It sounds like a small thing, but it matters. If anything ever needs attention down the road, the water can be isolated quickly without scrambling.
The new tank fits cleanly in the same tight utility space. No drips, no staining, no drama. The copper supply lines above connect neatly to the top of the unit, and everything is set up the way it should be.
This kind of job comes up a lot in older Ottawa homes. Tanks age out, and when they start leaking, the wall behind them pays the price. Catching it and replacing the unit properly saves a lot of headache later.
If your water heater is showing its age or giving you trouble, give us a call at 613-227-7465.
Water was showing up on the ceiling downstairs. That is never a good sign. A homeowner in Westboro called us first thing, needing someone out the same day. The source turned out to be the upstairs bathroom toilet, leaking right at the base.
The culprit was a corroded floor flange bolt and a deteriorated wax ring. That failing seal had been letting water escape with every flush, working its way down through the floor a little at a time. Left much longer, the ceiling damage would have gotten a lot worse.
We pulled the old toilet, cleared out the old wax ring and hardware, and installed a new toilet we supplied. Clean fit, solid seal, no more movement at the base.
Same-day calls like this one are exactly why we stay ready. A leak between floors moves fast. Getting in quickly meant stopping the damage before it spread any further.
If you have got a toilet that rocks, seeps at the base, or is sending water somewhere it should not be, give us a call at 613-227-7465.
This bathroom lavatory faucet had been leaking for a while. Once we got under the vanity, it was clear there was more to sort out than just the drip itself.
We replaced the cartridge on the faucet. That is typically what causes a lav faucet to weep at the spout. Worn cartridges are quiet troublemakers. They go gradually, then suddenly the faucet never fully shuts off.
While we were down there, we also replaced both the hot and cold shut-off valves beneath the sink. Older shut-offs can seize up or weep at the stem over time. If you ever need to cut the water quickly, a stuck valve is the last thing you want. Swapping them out while everything was already in progress just made sense.
A homeowner in Centretown now has a faucet that shuts off cleanly and shut-offs that will actually work when called upon. Small repairs, but they matter.
If you have a dripping faucet or aging valves under your sink, give us a call at 613-227-7465.
That brown, murky water sitting right at the bowl's rim tells you everything. This was the only toilet in a basement apartment, and it was completely blocked. Not slow, not gurgling. Fully backed up and unusable.
For someone living in a basement unit, that is not a situation that can wait. We got there as quickly as we could.
The fix was a toilet auger. We fed the cable down through the trap, worked through the blockage, and cleared it out. No mess left behind, no mystery about what caused it. Just a clean bowl and a toilet that flushes the way it should.
The after photo says it plainly: clear water, clean porcelain, done. A toilet that looked like a health hazard an hour earlier was back to normal for the family living there.
Basement apartments in The Glebe see this more than people expect. The plumbing lines are lower, and when something gets lodged in the trap, there is nowhere for the water to go. A toilet auger gets around what a plunger cannot reach.
If your only toilet is out of commission, that is not a tomorrow problem. Reach us at 613-227-7465 and we will get there fast.
That green cleanout cap tells the whole story before you even look inside. When we lifted it at this Beacon Hill North property, the main drain was completely backed up. Dark, murky water sitting well above the pipe opening, debris floating on the surface, and a thick ring of buildup coating the walls of the cleanout. Not a pretty sight, but not unusual for a main drain that had been quietly struggling for a while.
We started with a thorough assessment to understand exactly what we were dealing with. Main drain blockages can have a few different causes, and it pays to know before you start clearing. Once we had a clear picture, we got to work breaking through the clog and clearing the line properly.
The difference between a partial fix and a real fix matters a lot with a main drain. Everything in the house flows through it. Toilets, sinks, showers, laundry. If it is not moving freely, nothing is.
The family had been dealing with this for too long. Getting it sorted felt good for everyone involved.
If your main drain is giving you grief anywhere in Beacon Hill North or the surrounding Ottawa area, we are happy to come take a look. Reach us at 613-227-7465.
The old tank's label told the whole story. It had been running well past its best years, and a family in Centretown called us when it finally gave out. We came in to replace it with a new 40-gallon Bradford White electric unit.
The after photo shows the new tank sitting cleanly in its alcove, copper lines running neatly up top, everything tight and properly supported. A tidy install in a tight space, and we took care to get it right.
Alongside the tank swap, we also replaced the mixing valve. Worth doing at the same time. A worn mixing valve can send scalding water to your taps even when the tank itself is new, so pairing the two jobs together just makes sense. The new valve is visible in the photo, brass fittings gleaming against the copper pipework above the tank.
The whole setup looks solid and the homeowner now has reliable hot water again. If your water heater is getting on in years or you're noticing anything off, give us a call at 613-227-7465.
If your basement is flooding, shut off the water source if possible and call a plumber immediately. Flooding is often caused by sump pump failure, sewer backup, or heavy water intrusion and needs urgent attention to prevent serious damage. Our team can quickly diagnose the issue and provide professional sump pump repair to restore protection.
Clogged drains are usually caused by grease buildup, debris, or blockages deeper in the pipe. While temporary fixes may help briefly, the issue often returns unless it’s properly cleared. Professional drain cleaning ensures the blockage is fully removed and your pipes flow properly again.
No hot water can be caused by a failing water heater, thermostat issues, or sediment buildup inside the tank. A licensed plumber can inspect the system and determine whether water heater repair or replacement is the best solution.
We offer same-day plumbing service across Ottawa and surrounding areas. For urgent issues like flooding, leaks, or sewer backups, we prioritize fast response to help prevent further damage.
Yes — even a small leak can lead to major damage over time. Water can spread behind walls, weaken materials, and create mold if not addressed. It’s best to have a professional plumber repair the issue before it worsens.
In most cases, yes. We can diagnose sump pump issues quickly and perform repairs or replacements to ensure your home is protected from flooding again.
