OTTAWA RIVER FLOODPLAINSump pump failures and riverside flooding
Orléans neighbourhoods closest to the Ottawa River — Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook and Convent Glen — sit within or adjacent to the river's floodplain. During the 2017 and 2019 spring floods, hundreds of Orléans homes were affected. A properly sized, maintained sump pump with a battery backup is not optional in these areas — it is essential. We install, repair and replace sump pump systems 24/7.
1970s–2000s HOMESAging drain systems in established Orléans neighbourhoods
Orléans' older communities — Queenswood Heights, Beacon Hill North and Convent Glen — were developed primarily between 1970 and 2000. Homes in this age range frequently show corroded cast iron drain sections, root intrusion from mature trees, and deteriorating joint connections. Recurring slow drains or frequent backups indicate a system in need of professional camera inspection and repair.
WINTERFrozen pipes in Ottawa east winters
Ottawa's winters are among the coldest in Canada's major cities. Orléans homes — especially those with attached garages, uninsulated crawl spaces, or exterior walls with inadequate insulation — are vulnerable to pipe freezing during cold snaps below -20°C. Immediate action prevents a frozen pipe from becoming a burst pipe and a flooded basement.

DRAIN CLEANINGHydro jetting for blocked drains in Orléans
From grease accumulation in kitchen drain lines to root intrusion in older Orléans neighbourhoods' mature tree-lined streets, our hydro jetting equipment delivers thorough clearing of all blockage types. For recurring issues, a camera inspection pinpoints the exact location and nature of the problem — joint failure, root intrusion, or drainage slope — and determines the most effective repair strategy.
NEW DEVELOPMENTSFirst-time plumbing issues in Avalon and Chapel Hill
Orléans' newest communities — Avalon and Chapel Hill — are still under active development, with homes just past their builder warranty period starting to show first signs of drain installation defects, water softener issues and supply line problems. These typically appear 5 to 15 years after construction and benefit from early diagnosis to prevent escalation into major repairs.
