Ottawa West Plumber – Same-Day & 24/7 Emergency Service 🚿

The old tank in this Arbeatha Park basement had seen better days. You can see it in the before photo, a dark grey 50-gallon unit with a tired power vent motor sitting on top and venting running up through the ceiling. It had done its job for years. Time to move on.

We swapped it out for a fresh Bradford White 50-gallon power vent unit. Same footprint, same venting setup through the ceiling, but everything underneath is new. We also installed a dedicated shut-off valve for the tank while we were at it. A small addition, but it makes a real difference down the road. Gives the homeowner a clean way to isolate the tank quickly if anything ever needs attention.

The after photo shows the new white tank standing cleanly in place, the black power vent motor seated on top, and the PVC vent pipes reconnected overhead. Neat, straightforward, and ready to handle hot water for the whole house.

This was a returning client, and that means something to us. We try to take care of the people who trust us with their home year after year.

Feel free to reach us at 613-227-7465.

The basement floor drain had backed up, and the photo tells the story pretty clearly. A grimy, tile-walled utility area with debris pooled around a steel floor drain cover. Not something you want sitting like that for long.

A homeowner in Ottawa West reached out, dealing with a drain that simply wasn't moving. We came in and ran a snake through both the kitchen sink line and the basement floor drain to break through whatever had built up inside. But we didn't stop there. We also put a camera down the line to see exactly what was going on inside the pipe.

The camera inspection confirmed the line was flowing after it was cleared. That matters more than it might sound.

That camera inspection matters. It tells us whether the blockage was the whole story or just part of it. Sometimes there's more going on deeper in the line, and it's worth knowing before a small backup turns into a bigger problem.

If your basement drain is slow or backing up, we're happy to come take a look. Reach us at 613-227-7465 and we'll sort it out.

Flood damage does not give a hot water tank a second chance. That was the situation for a homeowner here in Ottawa West. Their existing 50-gallon natural draft tank had taken on water during a basement flood, and once we assessed it, the call was straightforward: replacement was the only safe path forward.

The before photo tells the story. You can see the old tank tucked into a basement corner, copper supply lines running overhead, and the unit showing clear signs it had been through something. Keeping it running would have meant running on borrowed time.

We pulled the old tank and installed a new 50-gallon Bradford White natural draft unit in its place. Bradford White builds their tanks right here in North America, and this model is a solid fit for a home this size. The after photo shows the new venting connected cleanly through the block wall, sealed up properly with foil tape.

Flood situations move fast and it helps to have someone who can assess the damage honestly and get a reliable replacement in quickly. That is exactly what we did here.

If your water heater has been through a flood, or if it is just aging out, feel free to reach us at 613-227-7465.

The old power vent unit in this Carlington home had reached the end of its run. The existing copper connections and vent lines were still in place, the tank sitting quietly in the utility corner doing its best. It just wasn't doing enough anymore.

We swapped it out for a new 50-gallon Bradford White power vent water heater. Same footprint, much better performance. Power vent units like this one use a motorized blower to push exhaust gases out through PVC piping, which gives homeowners a lot more flexibility with where the unit sits in the home. No chimney needed.

The copper supply lines are cleanly reconnected, the power vent motor sits snug on top of the new tank, and everything is properly fitted and secure. A tidy install in a tight space, and that matters. A good water heater installation isn't just about the tank itself. It's about how all the connections come together around it.

This client has been with us for a while, and it's always a good feeling coming back to a familiar home and leaving it in better shape than we found it.

Give us a call at 613-227-7465.

A homeowner in Britannia Heights called us about a basement floor drain that had stopped draining completely. We got there quickly.

The first photo shows the floor drain area as we found it. Grime and buildup had collected around the drain in a basement bathroom. Not a small problem, but a familiar one.

We ran a camera down the main drain line to find out exactly what was going on. The second photo shows the camera inspection in progress, with the obstruction located approximately 8.6 feet into the line. That kind of finding matters. It tells you where to focus and means you are not guessing.

Once we knew what we were dealing with, we cleared the blockage. Camera confirmed the line was fully open before we left.

Basement floor drains are easy to overlook until they back up entirely. At that point, you want someone there fast. We are glad to take that call.

If a drain in your home is backing up or moving slowly, reach us at 613-227-7465 and we will take a look.

The old tank had clearly run its course. You can see it in the before photo, a tired unit sitting in the basement utility space, the kind that has quietly done its job for years until it simply can't anymore. Time to swap it out.

For this Ottawa West home, we replaced the existing unit with a 40-gallon Bradford White natural draft gas water heater. It fits neatly into the same footprint, with the flue venting running up through the ceiling just as before. We also installed a new shut-off valve on the hot water line while we were at it. A small addition, but a useful one. It gives the homeowner a clean, easy way to isolate the tank if anything ever needs attention down the road.

The after photo shows everything sitting clean and properly connected. Fresh copper lines, a tidy vent connection, and a unit that is actually built to perform. Bradford White makes their tanks in North America, and they hold up well in our climate.

It is a straightforward job when everything lines up, but there is real value in having it done right the first time. No shortcuts on the connections, no guessing on the venting.

If your water heater is getting on in years or giving you trouble, we are happy to take a look. Reach us at 613-227-7465.
