Clogged Drains

Clogged drains can wreak havoc in any household, leading to inconvenience and potential damage to your plumbing system. In addition to slowing down your daily routine, a clogged drain can cause a variety of problems, leave behind unwanted residue, odours, and a general mess.

Are you in need of our drain services?

• Water drains slowly from your tub, basin or shower.
• You notice pools of water around your drains.
• Bubbling sounds come from the toilet when you run the sink.
• There’s a puddle of water on the floor near the sink or bathtub.
• The kitchen sink has a bad smell.
• Water backs up out of the shower, toilet, sink or tub.

Proper drain maintenance and clog prevention will go a long way to avoiding nasty clogged drains, but a plumbing disaster isn’t always preventable. So when you need some assistance – day or night – you can call on Dr HVAC.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation

Georgetown homeowners are no strangers to the potential for water damage, especially the  host of plumbing problems that can arise from a sump pump or lack of one. It’s important you’re hiring the right people to install or repair your sump pump. Some of the reasons for failure are:

• Improper installation 
• Power failure, which can cause electrical malfunctions
• If your sump pump is too small for your basement, it may become overwhelmed
• A clogged basement drainage system
• Clogged or frozen discharge lines
• A stuck switch can cause it to run non-stop

If your float is damaged, clogged or jammed, it may not signal the float switch to turn on or off with the changing water levels. If your sump pump does not switch on or off by itself, it’s time to call a professional plumber. 

Backwater Valve Repair & Installation

While the Georgetown plumbing system is constantly being worked on to update and maintain the city’s complex underground water systems, water can still make its way into your basement due to melting snow, heavy rainflow and runoff. Georgetown homeowners have to do their part to ensure that their homes and valuables are protected from water damage.

A backwater valve is a simple installation that will prevent water from entering your basement and flooding it. The valve allows water from your drains and toilets to safely flow through the house and into the municipal system, but will close when water starts to flow back from the city’s pipes into your basement.

Installation of a backwater valve is no simple task and will require professional services. Georgetown plumbers will need to do a camera sewer inspection and get the appropriate permits to install the backwater valve. We also walk you through the amazing backwater valve rebate – the Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program.

The installation will require breaking through the floor and digging down to the main drain that takes all the wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer. A piece of the main drain will be removed and replaced with the backwater valve – your last line of defense against basement flooding, should your sewers back up.

Toilet Repair & Installation

Whether you’re facing persistent leaks, clogs, or require a new toilet installation, our skilled Georgetown plumbers are dedicated to resolving your toilet-related concerns with precision and efficiency.

Our technicians are well-versed in diagnosing and repairing a variety of toilet issues, providing prompt and reliable solutions to restore optimal functionality. From fixing minor leaks or running toilets, to addressing more complex problems with your home’s plumbing system, we take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch service.

In addition to plumbing repairs, Dr HVAC offers professional toilet installation services. If you’re upgrading to a more water-efficient model or need a new toilet installed in a renovated space, our knowledgeable plumbers will provide an efficient and hassle-free installation process.

Faucet Repair & Installation

A leaking faucet might go unnoticed for quite a while, but if left unattended, that drip can waste an average of 10 litres of water per day! 

Faucets that experience regular use will eventually wear down, and cracks can form in the rubber seals. If you live in an older home and experience multiple faucet leaks, it makes sense to have our Georgetown plumbers take a look and upgrade them.

For those frustrating faucet leaks or drips, our team specializes in swift and effective faucet repairs. We meticulously diagnose the issue, whether it’s a worn-out washer, corroded valve, or a more complex internal problem, and provide efficient repairs to eliminate leaks and restore your faucet to optimal performance. Or if it’s time for a replacement – get a new faucet fixture installed.

Frozen Pipes

In need of burst pipe repair? Every winter as the temperatures drop, we get numerous calls from customers whose plumbing has frozen solid. Water expands roughly 10% when frozen. If you have debris build-up in your pipes and the water freezes, it can cause extensive damage to your plumbing system.

If your pipes freeze, here’s what to do:

• Turn off the main water supply to help prevent water damage.
• If you have a burst pipe, turn off the electrical supply and don’t go into the basement.
• DO NOT use any open flame to thaw your pipes.
• Ask a neighbour if you could use their bathroom temporarily.
• DO use a small hair dryer or space heater to heat the frozen area (but don’t leave it unattended!)
