Founded by Dave and Wendy Smythe and originally named DS Plumbing (from Dave’s initials), the company was run from the spare bedroom and garage in their home. While Dave worked all day by himself on small plumbing projects in customers’ homes, Wendy was answering the telephone and scheduling jobs for the days ahead back home while also looking after two small boys.

Since then, we have grown our team and services slowly but steadily, focusing on only hiring the best in the field. We believe that quality over quantity is the path to long-term success for Out Of This World.
In 2019, Dave and Wendy decided it was time for a name change and rebrand of the company. After realizing that ‘DS Plumbing’ gives off a small-town plumbing service feel, they decided to rename to something that fit their visions for the company’s future – to go above and beyond. And thus, Out of This World Plumbing was born.
While Out of This World Plumbing is still highly known as DS Plumbing in Ottawa, we plan to do so much more than just plumbing in the future. Even though residential plumbing continues to be our main focus, we also provide solutions for water treatment and cleanliness as we believe our customers deserve the healthiest water for their families.
We are pleased to be working towards including HVAC, electrical, cleaning, roofing, and more to our repertoire of services in the years to come.

The new name ‘Out of This World Plumbing’ also represents the dream Dave has had since his childhood – to go to space!
And, as it happens, to be the first plumber is space! With help from companies such as Virgin Galactic and SpaceX getting close to commercializing flights to space, Dave’s dream appears to be materializing sooner than later!
At Out of This World, we’re more than just a plumbing company. We’re focused on fun and our core values: integrity, honesty, positive attitudes, and professionalism. Explore more below to find out why we are Out of This World!
At Out of This World Plumbing, we aim to make a difference in our local community.
We are excited to support Canadian businesses, especially those near us in the Ottawa area. Dave is on the Board of Directors for OSCATR (Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue). As the office at Out Of This World is fairly spacious, every few months we have volunteers from OSCATR come to make cat shelters for strays during the cold months.
We’re always on our toes at Out Of This World with our Kitty Office Staff nearby! Jake, Garfield and Spook are our lovely office cats that provide OOTW’s office with a cozy “home” feel. They are all rescues that have been adopted into our work family—Jake was a rescued stray, and Garfield and Spook were adopted from Country Cat Rescue. Always looking for cuddles and treats, these three really make Out Of This World what it is!
