Plumbing for Gloucester & Blackburn Hamlet homes

Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet and the surrounding Gloucester neighbourhoods were largely built in the 1960s to 80s. Many homes have original drains under finished basements and mature trees near the sewer line, and some were built before sump pits were standard.

What we see most here

  • Sewer backups into finished basements
  • Root intrusion in older laterals
  • Homes without a sump pit
  • Aging building drains under the slab

What Ottawa homeowners say

★★★★★
“I had an excellent experience with Michael and The Irish Plumber. I called after hours and received service promptly. I was explained the rates ahead of time so there were no surprises. The rates were reasonable especially as I was in an emergency situation.”

★★★★★
“Michael arrived at the agreed time (even slightly early), performed a careful assessment, and offered options for repairs on two jobs. The work was performed efficiently and carefully and they were proud to show and explain their work when finished. Cleanup was outstanding.”

★★★★★
“I had a previous problem with a neighbours tree roots that managed to make their way into my weeping tile. I had a company come in and fix it, but did more damage than good. 3 years later I noticed the front walkway sinking a bit.”
