In Ottawa Canada, Carson did a great job of installing a new toilet as well as taking away the old one. All at a reasonable price. We discussed the type of toilet I wanted, he went out and bought the toilet, he installed the toilet and took away the old one. He was fast and efficient and did a great job at cleaning up afterwards. Great Job Carson! Thank you very much! And thank you to John The Plumber!Posted on Google![]()

I chose to go with John the Plumber because of their reviews online. Originally, they tried pawning off the job a few hours before the scheduled appointment to a sister-company because they had an emergency come up. I decided to move the date to accommodate the scheduling conflict and so I could keep John the Plumber as the provider of the service. Matt (plumber) was great! Very personable, knowledgeable and did a great job identifying the issue and fixing the problem. I will definitely reach out for future plumbing issues.
Common signs include gurgling drains, foul odors from sinks or tubs, slow drainage, or toilets that don’t flush properly. These issues often point to poor venting or blockages that need professional attention.
Plumbing vents allow air to enter the pipes, which helps water flow smoothly and prevents sewer gases from entering your home. Without proper venting, drains can become sluggish and your home may experience unpleasant odors.
In many cases, venting issues can be fixed with simple repairs like clearing blockages or sealing leaks. However, damaged or poorly designed vent systems may require upgrades or replacement to meet code and function properly.
If you’re experiencing frequent clogs, bad smells, or slow drains throughout your home — not just in one area — it’s likely a venting issue. A licensed plumber can inspect the system, identify the problem, and provide the right solution.
