“Most importantly, they determined that the root cause was actually with the City’s sewer connection rather than my home’s plumbing.”

I had a fantastic experience with Gentlemen Plumbing! I needed a frost-free hose bib fixed at my home in Barrhaven, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

From the start, their communication was incredible—they responded so quickly to my inquiry and had someone out in no time. They were extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent, top-notch service. What I appreciated most was that they took the time to teach me exactly what to look out for at my home and gave me clear, practical advice on how to prevent future problems from occurring.

To top it all off, their pricing was very reasonable and fair.

If you’re looking for a reliable, professional plumber in the area, look no further. I will definitely be using them again!

I’m glad I found Gentlemen Plumbing to do some urgent work in my house in Kanata. Jonathan and Jake were able to squeeze me in the following day, arrived on time, and were great to work with – very knowledgeable and friendly. Now my toilet and drain are working perfectly. Thank you guys for your great service!

I had a sump pump issue that wasn’t working well during one of the heaviest rainfalls and called for service. These guys helped diagnose the issue over the phone before even coming on site to assess the situation which was very much appreciated. When they came to fix the sump pump, they did were very thorough and explained everything to me in detail and what the options were. I am happy with the work they did and would use them again. Highly recommended!

Gentleman Plumbing did an amazing job at my house in Nepean! I had a clogged toilet and needed an urgent repair, and they came out the same day. They fixed everything quickly and professionally. The plumber was very friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Really nice people who treated me and my home with respect. Never tried to make more money or hide any costs. Just clear, honest, and kind treatment (obviously what they are going for, and is as advertised). Plus they quickly fixed my plumbing problems! I felt very safe and they even had a great sense of humour while being completely professional.

GENTLEMEN PLUMBERS & DRAIN CLEANING

The concept of ‘Gentlemen’ in the company’s name accurately reflects a mission statement of honesty, respect, fairness and customer loyalty

I had Jonathan, co-owner of this Company, install a kitchen sink & faucet and two outdoor frost proof faucets. He was punctual, efficient and professional and, most impressively, he followed up a couple of days later to check on my satisfaction with the service.

Certainly a well earned 5 Stars !

We came home to a cracked toilet tank, Jonathan responded same day and installed a new tank for us! Wonderful, professional service. Highly recommended for any plumbing needs.

Jake did an excellent job! We had always wanted a hose bib installed in our garage, and Gentleman Plumbing made it happen the very same day. Their price was about half of the other quotes we received, and the quality of the work was outstanding. Jake was professional, friendly, and efficient, and everything was completed neatly. If you’re looking for honest, reliable plumbers in Ottawa, I highly recommend Gentleman Plumbing!

We had Jonathan from Gentlemen plumbing come by to fix our leaking kitchen sink. Jonathan was knowledgeable, friendly and timely! He explained the issue, offered us different options and was able to quickly address our problem! Highly recommend, will definitely use again!

Jonathan has helped us out several times both for planned plumbing upgrades and in an emergency situation. Gentlemen plumbers are responsive, professional, fair and do a great job. I would recommend them to anyone !

Jonathan came and installed our dishwasher and was nothing short of a pleasure to deal with. Very professional, tidy and personable. Great service!

Finally people who treat your home the same as their own, you understand every step of what is being done, get what you pay for and pay for only what you need.

had a blocked kitchen drain. called these guys. liked their site and uniform lol. they were beauties. they snaked my drain and fixed ky problems. 10/10

I had a great experience with Jake and highly recommend him for any plumbing work. He replaced my sink and faucet and also piped the rough-in bathroom in my basement. At my request, Jake used copper piping, and the work was done professionally and with great attention to detail. He was punctual, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean afterward. Jake takes pride in his work, and it shows. I would absolutely hire him again.

Gentleman Plumbing is my go-to for all of my plumbing needs. They are always quick to respond, punctual, fully explain the issues and options and leave me feeling confident in their work. Highly recommend!

Professional and relationship trust

Trust from people who have seen the work up close.

Contractors, repeat customers, and people who know Jake and Jonathan are separated clearly from first-time homeowner proof instead of being blended together.

I’m a contractor and I got connected to Jake through a mutual friend – where he was actually calling me for work he needed done. We hit it off, he’s honestly just a really good guy. You can tell when you cross paths with someone who genuinely cares. Anyway, Jake and Jonathan get my plumbing business anytime my customers or I need plumbing work for their renovations. I trust them – their work is always super clean – they hit their deadlines – they’re upfront – they let me know exactly what to expect or what could happen. All this to say, these guys know what they’re doing. They’re easy to get along with, funny and a good time. I trust them with my customers, I’m going to trust them with my house if I need them.

If you need plumbing services in Ottawa, Gentlemen Plumbing & Drain Cleaning has 2 of the best guys that you’ll find. They’re proper gentlemen you won’t regret working with.

I’ve known Jonathan and Jake for years and worked alongside them in the plumbing industry. They’re solid guys, easy to get along with, and they know their stuff. They take pride in their work, treat people right, and always try to do the job properly the first time. If you’re looking for honest plumbers who care about the quality of their work, I’d definitely recommend Gentleman’s Plumbing.

I hired Gentlemen Plumbing because I’ve known Jake for 10 years and he’s an awesome guy. I bought a kitchen faucet and he installed it in no time. Nothing but good things to say. As a personal reference and as a client reference, I recommend Gentlemen plumbing and drains.

I hired Gentlemen Plumbing because I’ve known Jake for years and completely trust him. Jake, along with his colleague Jonathan, did an outstanding job installing a bathroom sink. They expertly handled all the drain pipes and waterlines, making sure everything was installed perfectly and ran smoothly. Both of them were professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the process. I highly recommend Jake and his team for any plumbing work—you’ll get skilled, reliable service and great results!

I’ve known Jake for years, so when my mom needed a kitchen faucet replaced at her home in Barrhaven, I trusted him and Gentlemen Plumbing & Drain Cleaning to take care of it.

We had already bought the faucet, and they installed it for her. The old faucet didn’t have proper shutoff valves, so they soldered in new shutoffs first and then installed the new kitchen faucet. Everything went smoothly, the faucet works great, and my mom was really happy with the job.

I’d definitely recommend Gentlemen Plumbing & Drain Cleaning to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in Barrhaven or Ottawa.
