Drain & Sewer Services in Ottawa

From a drain that keeps backing up to a sewer line that has failed, we find the cause on camera and fix it with the least disruption that will last.

“Had a great experience with The Irish Plumber this week. Called on Tuesday afternoon for a problem with our main drainage stack, Sebastien arrived Wednesday morning and the problem was fixed before lunch.”

“Micheal of Irish Plumbing has done several projects for us in the past 5 years. They ranged from the replacement of the main sewer line due to collapsed cast pipe to replacing the kitchen faucet. Work thoroughly and professionally done and on quoted budget.”

Questions Ottawa homeowners ask us

How does your pricing work?
We charge a flat price per job, not by the hour, and you approve it in writing before work starts. There's a call-out fee to come out and assess, and we tell you the amount on the phone before booking. How our pricing works.
Will you just sell me the most expensive fix?
No. We show you what we find, often on camera, and give you options from the least invasive up, with what each one fixes and costs. Plenty of our reviews mention that we didn't push extra work.
What happens to my floor, walls or yard?
We protect what we can, open only what we need, and put it back: concrete re-poured, sod and interlock relaid, the site cleaned up. Restoration is on the written quote.
