Not all drainage issues are obvious. Using a high level of experience, knowledge, and equipment, our drain experts can run a plumbing inspection and deduce the cause of strange odors, water damage, and problems in your drainage system. We believe that offering the best customer service means finding the best solution to solve your drain problems, whether that means a bigger job or a smaller job – we just want what’s right for you!
Don’t wait for a plumbing emergency when you can prevent it!
Periodically having a drain cleaning is a great way to protect yourself from big problems.
Over time, grease and other matter collect in the pipes. You might notice gurgling noises and slower drains. These partial blockages gradually build into a coagulated nightmare!
If it gets too bad, sections of drain pipes may require replacement.
Instead, have a plumber come and clean your drains and sewers! We have the equipment to blast buildups and leave your pipes squeaky clean!
When you need Ottawa drain cleaners, John The Plumber is ready to help. We offer routine maintenance drain cleaning, as well as emergency clogged drain cleaning services.
We’re available when you need us!
If you’ve got a slow drain in your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower drain, bathtub drain, or laundry tub, or it’s completely blocked, using an electrically-powered commercial plumbing snake, our plumbers can break through the matter forming the blockage or pull the clog back out.
If you’re experiencing toilet drain clogs, call John The Plumber and one of our experts can use a Toilet Auger (aka toilet snake) to break the toilet clog or pull the contents out.
Remember that your toilet is only designed to handle human organic waste and toilet paper. Feminine hygiene products, ‘flushable’ wipes, and garbage are best placed in the trash!
Tree roots are on a mission to find a bountiful source of nutrition, and oftentimes, that nutrition is your waste. While some trees are less of an issue than others, many trees, such as Maple or Oak trees, can wreak devastating damage to your sewer pipes. Once tree roots find their way into your sewer, it will only get worse.
From there, you will experience sewer clogs and drain clogs more regularly, and you might find yourself calling for professional service often.
While you may want to consider a sewer line excavation and replacement, a cheaper and less invasive solution is to have a plumber clear the sewer line of tree roots using tools like Chain Knockers or Hydro Jets. (We have both!)
If your drain blockage is caused by the freezing cold, don’t worry! We’ve got a machine for that! We can heat up your frozen drain pipes, and restore flow to your plumbing system to clear your blockage.
If sewage is backing up in your basement or your plumbing isn’t draining, you may need sewer repair or snaking services. Our sewer cleaning specialists are equipped with the latest technology to clean out your sewer line effectively and prevent any issues from reoccurring.
However, if your sewer is collapsed or experiencing another sewer issue, we are your local residential sewer specialists. Our licensed plumbers can guide you through every step of the way and help make your sewer repair experience as easy as possible.
A Drain Backup is when waster and waste rise up from a drain. Somewhere down the drain line, a pipe has clogged. When this happens, the wastewater from every drain up the line will rise up from the lowest drain before the blockage.
When you’ve got a backed-up drain, stop using the fixtures and drains in your home that are connected to the same pipe, as this water will continue to rise from the backed-up drain.
Your basement floor drain is a bigger pipe than many other pipes in the house. As such. a blocked floor drain requires more heavy-duty drain equipment than what may be used for a sink drain. If you notice strange smells or a backed-up floor drain, we have the equipment you need to get the job done properly.
A sewer backup occurs when either your sewer overflows and ejects sewage into your home, or your sewer lateral is blocked so the waste from your home gets stuck and backs up. If your sewer line is blocked, we can choose from a variety of tools and services to remedy the problem, and if the sewer has overflowed and backed. up into your home, we can install a Backwater Valve to protect you in the future.
A backwater valve is a valve that closes and prevents sewage from entering your home through your sewer line. It essentially converts your drain system into a one-way street, so you never have to worry about your neighbour’s waste flooding your basement.
A Hydro Jet is a drain cleaning machine that blasts pressurized water into your drains, tearing through grease clogs, sediment buildup, and any other drain obstruction that blocks its path.
For smaller drain pipes, our drain team is equipped with a portable Hydro Jet Drain Cleaner, but for stubborn clogs in your stack, floor drain, or sewer lateral, we have a powerful gas-powered Hydro Jetter that can tear through anything, even tree roots!
Your residential drain system and sewer system rely on gravity to move liquid and solids through your pipes and out of your home. However, if gravity isn’t going to do the trick, for example, a basement bathroom is lower than the sewer, then a sewage pump is needed.
Sewage pumps can move water and solids up and out of your home. Additionally, a grinder pump can grind the matter before pumping, to ensure a smooth out of your sewer line.
If you’re having frequent issues with your drain system, you may want to consider having a plumbing camera inspection.
During a drain video inspection, we’ll stick a commercial drain camera into your drain, navigate your plumbing system, and locate the source of your issues.
From there, we can help you make a decision regarding the best way to proceed to eliminate future drain issues.
Once you know what you want to do, we’ll get to work and solve your problems once, and right!

John the Plumber repaired our entire sewer line. We sought a number of quotes and we chose this company because they quoted a reasonable price and they were really easy to communicate with. They were very helpful and professional with the many steps that were involved in preparing to do this work. The staff members we worked with were very professional and prompt. Overall we were very happy to have such a big job done without extra headaches. I highly recommend working with this company.
Eric called before his arrival to double check the work that had to be done. He arrived promptly 20 minutes later. He removed his shoes as soon as he came in. He wore a mask and practised the protocol of social distancing which was very important to me. He was friendly and thorough and explained what needed to be done. Within an hour the bathroom sink was unclogged and he tested it a few times showing me that everything was back to normal. He cleaned his working area before leaving. Very satisfied with Eric’s professional work. The service was somewhat expensive but I probably use this company again
Many thanks to plumber Alex R. for his excellent work. I was able to get an appointment within a day to deal with a nasty basement drain blockage. Alex showed up on time and didn’t leave until it was fully fixed. He was professional and gave good advice. I will definitely call John The Plumber again for future business.

I called late in the evening to help with a blocked kitchen sink and Eric was here promptly the next morning and quickly resolved the issue.

He also gave some advice on my kitchen plumbing set up and how to avoid future clogs.
Billy came on an 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, no hidden charges.
