First, shut off your water if it’s safe to do so. If there is no nearby water supply shutoff to isolate the leak, find your main water shutoff.

We sure do. Call us anytime — day or night — and we’ll dispatch an emergency plumber in Ottawa as soon as possible.
A quick way to test your sump pump is to fill a bucket with water and slowly pour it into the sump pit. The float switch should activate the pump, and the water should drain quickly. If nothing happens, or if it’s slow or noisy, your sump pump may need service or replacement.
Most homeowners don’t realize that sump pumps should be replaced every 7 years — even if they appear to be working. Like smoke detectors, they’re easy to forget about until it’s too late.
We also strongly recommend having a battery backup sump pump system. If your primary pump fails or your power goes out during a storm, the backup will keep your basement dry and your peace of mind intact.
💡 Ask about our sump pump inspections or sump pump replacement packages, and stay protected year-round.
If your neighbours had to replace their pipes due to Poly-B (polybutylene), there’s a good chance you might have them too — especially if your homes were built around the same time.
Poly-B pipes were commonly used in homes across Ottawa from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Unfortunately, they’re now known to become brittle, crack, and leak over time — often without warning. Most insurance companies no longer cover water damage caused by Poly-B pipes, and some won’t renew policies until the plumbing is replaced.
🏘️ Neighborhoods are often developed by the same builders using the same materials, so if your neighbour has Poly-B… there’s a good chance you do too. As they say, birds of a feather flock together.
We offer free Poly-B inspections, and we’ll let you know if your plumbing is affected — no pressure, no obligation.
If your home was built before the 1950s — and sometimes even into the 60s — there’s a chance it was built with lead water pipes or lead service lines. These pipes can leach lead into your drinking water, especially if your water sits in the line overnight or if you don’t use a water filter.
Health Canada has stated that no amount of lead in drinking water is considered safe, particularly for young children or pregnant women.
🧰 Many older homes in Ottawa still have lead pipes — and in some cases, homeowners don’t even know it. We offer lead pipe inspections and water service replacements to help keep your home safe and up to code.
A backwater valve is a protective device installed in your plumbing system that stops raw sewage from backing up into your basement during heavy rain or sewer overloads.
🧱 In many parts of Ottawa, especially older neighborhoods or homes near rivers and valleys, sewer backups are a real risk — and a backwater valve can be the difference between a dry home and a nasty flood.
In fact, many municipalities in Ontario require backwater valves on new homes, and some even offer rebates for installing one.
At John The Plumber, we install and service code-compliant backwater valves, and we can advise whether your home would benefit from one based on your plumbing system and neighbourhood.
