Only one fixture leaks
If its shutoff valve is accessible and operates normally, turn off only that fixture’s supply. Tell us whether water still flows and what needs to be repaired or replaced.

To help us direct your call, identify the scope:
One fixture? Sink, toilet, shower or water heater
One unit? Room and floor affected
Whole building? Access to the main water supply and shared spaces
Where to start
Water leak in Villeray, Saint-Michel or Parc-Extension: what can you shut off?
Knowing the reach of a leak or water shutoff helps distinguish a repair at one fixture from a problem in the building’s water distribution.
The valve will not close
A stuck valve or a leak upstream of it may require access to the main indoor shutoff. Do not force a valve that resists. Tell us where it is and whether the same line serves other units.
Several units are affected
Identify the units, whether they have cold or hot water, and who can open the basement or mechanical room. An on-site check will determine which line is involved.
Active leak? If you know what an accessible valve controls and can close it safely, do so without forcing it. Stay clear of an area where water has reached electrical equipment, and call to explain what is happening.
Services in the borough
Plumbing work matched to the source of the problem
A plumber in Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension can address a single failure or help plan more extensive work. The first step is to locate the problem and understand the access available.
Water leaks and faulty valves
Whether the issue is at a fitting, tap, pipe or fixture supply, the source must be identified before a repair is proposed.
Explore water leak repairMain water service line
The supply line and indoor main shutoff sometimes need a broader assessment, especially if several occupants are affected or a City shutoff may be required.
Learn about water service line workClogged or recurring drains
Depending on the symptoms and access, drain cleaning and unclogging may restore flow. A camera inspection may help if blockages return or the condition of a pipe needs to be checked.
Electric water heater
Is the tank leaking, is its supply a concern, or are you planning a replacement? Have the model, capacity and access details ready.

Plexes and apartment buildings
An access plan matters as much as the address
The City of Montréal documents heritage plexes in Villeray and Parc-Extension (in French). That describes part of the borough’s housing stock, not the condition of any particular building’s plumbing. The pipe layout and valve locations need to be checked on site.
In Villeray, Saint-Michel and Parc-Extension, we therefore ask where the plumbing can be accessed and who can open the space. We do not assume every unit has its own shutoff.
Where is the main shutoff?
Access to a basement, mechanical room or locked shared space may be needed. Tell us if you know the location and who can let the plumber in.
Which fixture or unit is affected?
Water showing up on one floor does not, by itself, locate the failed pipe. Note the affected fixtures and what happens when water is used elsewhere.
Who can authorize the work?
In a rental building or condominium, identify who can approve access, a water shutoff and the repair steps. This helps avoid interrupting other units unnecessarily.
City coordination
When the indoor shutoff is not enough
Work inside a building and work on the exterior service connection involve different steps. A plumber can explain what needs assessment; the owner or their representative contacts the City when a municipal operation is required.
The indoor valve cannot isolate the leak
Describe the leak and the valve’s condition. If the exterior service box must be shut off, follow Montréal’s water service shutoff procedure. Confirm the steps and timing for the address with the borough.
The connection toward the street needs work
Replacing or changing a water or sewer service connection may require a cutting or excavation permit. The City explains the work covered and how to apply for a permit. First, the affected section must be identified.
Before you call
Four details that make the request clearer

- The first sign you noticed: a leak, loss of water, slow drainage or wastewater backing up.
- The scope: one fixture, one unit or several occupants.
- Access to the main valve, water heater, drain or mechanical room, as applicable.

Common questions
Before requesting a plumber in the borough
Practical answers to help you explain the situation without assuming a diagnosis before a visit.
Does a faulty indoor valve always require an exterior shutoff?
No. Another indoor valve may isolate the section that needs repair, but its location and condition must be checked. If the City’s exterior shutoff is required, the owner or their representative follows the municipal procedure and coordinates the timing with the plumber.
Does a drain that keeps clogging always need a camera inspection?
Not always. A camera may help when a blockage returns or a pipe defect is suspected. The decision depends on access, symptoms and what is found during the visit.
Can work be arranged in a rented plex?
Yes, when the person requesting service can identify the affected unit, arrange the required approvals and provide access to the relevant plumbing. A shutoff affecting several occupants especially calls for coordination with the owner or building manager.
What affects the cost of a service visit?
The issue, access to the pipe, parts, time and equipment needed can all affect the work. Describe the situation and ask about the applicable terms before authorizing service.
