Thinking about upgrading your hot water system? A tankless water heater can be a smart option for many Ottawa homeowners. Because it heats water on demand, you don’t have to keep a large tank of water hot all day — which may help improve energy efficiency and free up some space in your utility area 🚿✨

Another big benefit is a more continuous supply of hot water, which can be helpful for busy households with back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishes. Tankless systems can also have a longer service life when properly installed and maintained.

That said, the right fit depends on your home’s size, water usage, fuel source, and plumbing setup. If you’re considering a tankless water heater and want honest advice, we’re happy to help. Call Plumbing Now at 613-722-8887.

Not sure whether to repair or replace your water heater? A good rule of thumb: if it’s under 8–10 years old and the issue is minor—like a thermostat, heating element, or valve—it may be worth repairing. But if you’re noticing rusty water, leaks around the tank, inconsistent hot water, or rising energy bills, replacement may be the smarter long-term choice 🚿🔧

Age matters, but so does condition. Traditional tank water heaters often have a limited lifespan, and once the tank itself starts to corrode or leak, a repair usually isn’t the safest or most cost-effective option. If your unit needs frequent service, it may be time to compare the cost of ongoing repairs with the benefits of a newer, more efficient model.

If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can help you make the right call for your home and budget. Plumbing Now is here to help homeowners in Ottawa with honest advice and reliable service. Call 613-722-8887

If your drains seem to clog over and over, the issue is often more than just “bad luck.” In kitchens, grease, oil, coffee grounds, and food scraps can slowly build up inside the pipe. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum, and toothpaste are common culprits. Over time, even small amounts can narrow the drain and lead to frequent backups 🚿🍳

A few simple habits can help prevent trouble: use drain screens, avoid pouring grease down the sink, scrape plates into the garbage or compost, and flush bathroom drains with hot water regularly. It’s also best to skip harsh chemical drain cleaners, which can damage pipes and may not solve the real blockage.

If one drain keeps acting up, or multiple drains are slow at the same time, there could be a deeper issue in the line that needs professional attention. If you’re not sure what’s causing the problem, we’re happy to help. Call Plumbing Now at 613-722-8887.

Not sure if your toilet needs more than a quick repair? A few common signs can point to replacement 🚽

Watch for frequent clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, constant running, leaks around the base, or a toilet that rocks when you sit on it. If your toilet is older, needs repeated repairs, or uses a lot of water with every flush, replacing it may be the more practical long-term option 💧

A new toilet can improve reliability, help reduce water waste, and give you one less plumbing issue to worry about. If you’re noticing any of these signs in your Ottawa home, Plumbing Now is here to help with honest advice and professional service. Call 613-722-8887.

Heading out for a summer vacation? A few simple plumbing checks before you leave can help prevent unwanted surprises when you get home. ☀️🚿 Start by checking under sinks, around toilets, and near your water heater for any signs of small leaks. Even a slow drip can turn into a bigger issue while the house is empty.

It’s also smart to turn off the main water supply if no one will be home. If that’s not practical, consider shutting off water to appliances like the washing machine and dishwasher. Pour a little water into less-used drains to help keep trap seals from drying out, and set your water heater to vacation mode if your unit has that option.

If you’ve noticed low water pressure, a running toilet, or any plumbing issue before your trip, it’s best to have it checked before you go. A little preparation now can make coming home much easier. Need a hand getting things vacation-ready? Give Plumbing Now a call at 613-722-8887.

Plumbing emergency? Stay calm and start by shutting off the water if you can 🚰 For a burst pipe or major leak, use the main shut-off valve. If the problem is isolated to a sink or toilet, the local shut-off may be enough. If water is near outlets or electrical devices, avoid the area and switch off power only if it’s safe to do so.

Next, protect your home while you wait. Use towels, buckets, or a wet/dry vacuum to contain water, and move rugs, boxes, and valuables out of the way. If a toilet is overflowing, turn off the valve behind the toilet and avoid flushing again. For a suspected drain backup, stop using sinks, tubs, dishwashers, and washing machines to help prevent more overflow. 🪠

If it’s safe, take a few photos of the issue and note when it started—this can help your plumber understand what’s happening. Try not to use chemical drain cleaners, as they can make some problems worse and create safety concerns.

Plumbing emergency? Stay calm and start with the basics 🚰 First, shut off the water if you can—use the fixture shutoff valve or your home’s main water valve to help limit damage. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power to that area only if it’s safe to do so.

Next, protect your home: use towels or a bucket to catch water, move valuables out of the area, and avoid using other plumbing fixtures until the problem is checked. If you suspect a sewage backup, keep children and pets away and avoid contact with contaminated water.

Taking a few quick steps can make a big difference while you wait for professional help. If you’re in Ottawa and need a licensed plumber, Plumbing Now is here to help—give us a call at 613-722-8887.

Thinking about upgrading your hot water system? A tankless water heater can be a smart option for many Ottawa homeowners 🚿✨ Because it heats water on demand, you don’t have to store a full tank of hot water all day. That can help reduce energy use and free up valuable space in your utility area.

Tankless systems can also provide a steady supply of hot water for back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishes—great for busy households. The best fit depends on your home’s size, water usage, fuel source, and plumbing setup, so proper sizing and professional installation really matter.

If you’re wondering whether a tankless water heater makes sense for your home, we’re happy to help you weigh the pros and cons.

A leaking outdoor hose bib is often caused by a worn washer, a loose packing nut around the handle, or damage from winter freezing. 💧 If the leak only happens when the tap is on, the packing nut may just need a gentle tightening. If it drips from the spout even when fully off, the internal washer or cartridge may be worn and need replacement.

Homeowners can start by disconnecting any hose, checking for visible cracks, and making sure the tap fully closes without forcing it. If you have a frost-free hose bib and it still leaks, the issue may be deeper inside the valve body or supply line. In that case, it’s best to have it inspected before a small drip turns into hidden water damage. 🏡🔧

Not sure what’s causing the leak? We’re happy to help Ottawa-area homeowners with safe, professional plumbing repairs.

🚽 A running toilet might seem minor, but it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. If you hear constant running, start by checking the flapper inside the tank—if it’s worn, warped, or not sealing properly, water can keep leaking into the bowl. You can also make sure the chain isn’t too tight or tangled.

Another common issue is the fill valve or float being set too high, causing water to keep flowing into the overflow tube. Try adjusting the float so the water level sits below the top of the overflow tube. If you notice mineral buildup or older parts inside the tank, they may need to be cleaned or replaced. 💧

If your toilet keeps running after a few simple checks, it’s a good idea to have it looked at before it adds to your water bill. Plumbing Now is here to help homeowners across Ottawa with reliable plumbing repairs.
