When water is actively leaking or backing up, delays can cause serious damage. John The Plumber Ottawa responds to a wide range of plumbing emergencies, including:
Burst or Frozen Pipes:
Ottawa winters can cause pipes to freeze and burst, leading to flooding and structural damage. We provide fast repairs and pipe replacement when needed.
Severe Water Leaks:
Leaks from pipes, fixtures, or appliances can quickly damage walls, floors, and ceilings. We offer immediate leak detection and repair.
Sewer & Drain Backups:
Raw sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains is a serious health hazard. Our team handles drain back-ups, clogged drains, and emergency drain cleaning.
Overflowing Toilets:
An overflowing or constantly backing-up toilet needs immediate attention. We also provide blocked toilet and toilet repair services.
Flooded Basements & Floor Drains:
Basement flooding can occur due to heavy rain, sump pump failure, or sewer backups. We service floor drains and sump pump systems.
No Water or Sudden Pressure Loss:
If water stops flowing or pressure drops suddenly, it may indicate a serious plumbing failure requiring emergency diagnosis.
During an emergency, speed and accuracy matter. John The Plumber Ottawa follows a proven response process to minimize damage and restore service quickly.
