Drain Repair in Ottawa, Checking the Drain

It would not be at all surprising if your existing plumbing and sewage control system in your home is the very same system installed when the house was first under construction. Now, unless you are living in a home that is newly built or recently erected, the system in your home aged some, if not very old. In such a case, it may be time to have a drain repair Ottawa service technician come out and have a look at your system and if any necessary repairs will soon be required to ensure the integrity of your plumbing and sewage system.

Drain Repair Issues

A trained drain repair Ottawa professional is intimately familiar with the things that can, and do, go wrong with plumbing and sewage systems. One of the first issues that tends to arise is an issue with the sewer line or drain and difficult to handle clogs or, even worse, the backup of sewage! The expense of repairs is directly parallel to the type of damage your home incurs, if any, and what exactly needs replacement in the plumbing/sewage system to restore full integrity to the system in question. Factors influencing the potential costs you might face as a homeowner are below. This way you know what to expect when a drain repair Ottawa service technician comes into your home to give you a repair estimate.

The Source of the Problem

If you have a leak or break in the plumbing and sewage system and it is not found in the house, then there is a greater likelihood the issue is underground. If excavations are needed to make pipe repairs, this can, indeed, prove costly. In addition to paying for excavation equipment usage, labor costs, and the time it takes to dig up pipes, a home owner will also pay for the damage occurring to the property directly over the underground pipes. Landscaping will need repairs, and if the damage is beneath a patio, driveway or other solid structure needing special excavation, that part of the landscaping will also need repairs following the fixes made to underground pipe work.

Occasionally these costs can diminish, however, through trenchless pipe repair. You can speak to the Ottawa plumbing professional to see if this is a choice for you. If you need traditional excavations, the digging will need the use of heavy equipment and this will add to the cost of repairs significantly, not to mention the time it takes to complete the repairs necessary. The depth of the dig and cost of landscape repairs are something you will need to consider in terms of cost calculations.

The Cause of the Problem with Your System

There are several things that can cause a break in the lines of your plumbing and sewage system. Each break or cause of pipe disruption will call for unique repair measures. Of the common causes are:

Tree root intrusion breaking through the pipes and causing a clog.
Animals trapped inside one of the pipes or vents.
Big clogs caused by fats, grease, hair, soap scum build up, and other food/debris/trash getting into the drains and causing potential clogs. Some clogs can be so bad that it ends up breaking the pipes.
A sift in the earth can cause lines to dips and break.
Corrosion can cause pipes to break at the joints.

The Amount of Property Damage You Might Face

The damage you might incur when a problem occurs with the plumbing and sewage system can go far beyond the costs of digging and yard repair. If sewage backs up into the home, it can flood your basement, cause mold growth, and destroy the foundation’s structure by causing more cracks and allowing ground water to further flood the area. Your personal belongings can be destroyed and, in some cases, the lower parts of the wall, trim, and flooring can also be damaged.

Preventative measures you can take include observing the system for leaks. If you see water pooling in your yard or you see water damage occurring in the home, it is time to call the professionals at Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing.

Techniques Used for Drain Repair in Ottawa

When we perform a repair, we use one of three techniques:

Drain Excavation
Drain Relining
Pipe Bursting

Trenchless Drain Repairs (No-Dig)

This is one of our most popular services. Per the name, it is a no-dig option. You don’t need to excavate to repair the pipe, which saves your time and money on yard renovations.

There are two options how we can make it:

Drain Relining

A new pipelining is pushing through the old one as a repair to the damage. It is then inflated using pressure to seal the damage in the old drain watertight. The next step is to cure it with heat. Once it is fully cured, the drain is effectively repaired. The resulting pipe should have full structural integrity and function.

Pipe Bursting

Using a special high-pressure machine, we burst the pipe inside the ground to small particles. At the same time machine carries the new pipe with it.

We provide a consultation where we discuss the most appropriate materials for the repair. This method results in a fast, reliable, long term, inexpensive solution. More importantly, it doesn’t disrupt your right to fully access your property during the repairs.

Testimonials

Backed-Up Drain

It is not often that a plumbing company is able to save you 10,000 dollars. We had experienced a serious drain backup and received quotes from five different drain and plumbing specialists. These included some of the more popular local names, and a few that received a very high ranking on HomeStars. Most of them scoped the drain and told me all the root issues and the critical deficiencies that would continuously lead to problems. They suggested that that we crack the floor, replace the drainpipe, and have the pipe from the front lawn excavated, I would be looking at around $5-10k!

Max did the same exact research that these other companies did, but he told me that the drain was not deficient at all; in fact, it had many more years left! I know that Max was honestly biting his tongue when we discussed what these other companies had said. He rooted the drain (very fast) and there has not been a single issue with our pipes since.

Drain Work and Sump Pump Installation

Max was the first person to respond to our call for help after our basement flooded. He was quick in determining what the root of the issue was, and fixed the problem quickly. In addition to finding the issue, he also showed us a (potential) issue in our sanitary and storm water drains. He managed to find the possible issue with the drain-camera in a quick amount of time.

Max was courteous and professional when it came to helping us find future issues as well. He helped us alleviate concerns about future problems, thanks to his professional explanation. I have to admit I was also pleasantly surprised by the work of his crew. They cleaned their area thoroughly each time as well. Now I know that extensive repairs are never going to be cheap, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the pricing was. Max even helped us fill out the necessary paperwork to file for our basement flooding prevention subsidy.

Stewart

Trenchless Sewer Pipe

I received two quotes for my plumbing. The quote from Dr. Pipe was good, but what I really appreciated was the fact that the professionals at Dr. Pipe took their time to look at the issue, do the research, and actually SHOW me the problem in real-time. The other company never did give me an exact quote, and I was quite worried about potential “unexpected costs.” Both Max and the rest of his crew were extremely professional, kept the area as neat and tidy as possible, and cleaned up after they were done. Despite the fact that I was not actually onsite during the entire three-day process, I felt comfortable enough to give them a key to the property. When someone actually came and took something from the property (I was expecting them to), Max actually called my private number and asked me whether this was OK. I would highly recommend the services of Dr. Pipe.

Drain Replacement, Backflow Valve, Sump Pump, Etc.

When I woke up this morning, I was not expecting my basement to have transformed into a full-blown lake. One of our neighbors recommended Dr. Pipe. Our neighbors had needed to replace some of the drains under their home and also recently had a backwater valve installed.

Max came to us and talked about the quote. One of the great things about the discussion was that he took his time and explained everything to me. I remember that Max took the time to make sure that both my partner and I were on the same page and understood everything.

I really want to be honest and admit that I was not particularly friendly that day, I had already received three different quotes, and I just wanted the work to get started. We still decided to go with Max’s company, despite the fact that we already had several other quotes. It was not just about money that we were going to pay, it was about quality, it was about trust, it is about wanting to give my business to a company that wanted ME as a customer.

I can tell you that both Max and his crew came across as polite, clean, honest, and reliable. They were extremely pleasant to work with. The quality of the work that they delivered is excellent, and it certainly added value to the home. Even our insurance rates went down because of the quality work.

It is extremely comforting to know that I have peace of mind the next time that the rain comes down. During the last late-fall storm, it was extremely comforting to hear the sump pump turn on, that sound really allows you to sleep soundly at night.

I have no doubt that the pipes are going to be fine once the tree roots are growing and the snow melts. It is comforting to know is that even if they are not fine, I know that Max is going to be a phone call away to help me set things right. I would honestly be shocked if Max somehow did not uphold the warranty that we have. Honestly, that is the level of trust that we have in Max.
