Water supply
Leaks and water lines
Water spreading through a room or a valve that will not shut off may need urgent attention. The first step is to determine what can be isolated safely and what needs to be examined on site.

Plumber in VerdunEmergencies and repairs
Need a plumber in Verdun for a plumbing emergency, a leak in your unit, a basement drain backing up, or a leaking hot water tank? If the situation is urgent, tell us where the water is spreading and whether it can be shut off safely. Plomberie Anjou also receives requests for planned work across Wellington–De L’Église, Desmarchais–Crawford and Nuns’ Island (L’Île-des-Sœurs).
If water is spreading, say so when you call. Do not reach for a shutoff valve through an area with an electrical hazard.
01
Is this an emergency?Report active water, sewage coming up, or a hazard near electricity.
02
One fixture or several?That distinction helps assess a leak or a drainage problem.
03
Who can provide access?Unit, main shutoff, basement or shared mechanical room.
Urgent or planned
A plumber in Verdun for emergencies and planned work
If you need an emergency plumber in Verdun, start with what is happening now: water that will not stop, wastewater coming up, or more than one unit affected. For a planned repair, the location and access still matter. You do not need to diagnose the fault before calling.
A
Water is still flowing
Tell us whether the leak is visible, whether an indoor shutoff valve works, and whether water has reached another room or unit. A stain on a ceiling may be some distance from the source.
B
Drainage slows or backs up
Name the fixtures involved and when the problem occurs. Several drains reacting together call for a different assessment from a single slow sink.
C
The access point is shared
If the pipe, valve or mechanical room is in a common area, contact the person who can provide access. That helps prepare a useful visit from the outset.
Emergency repair or planned work
The right service for the problem
This local page helps you describe what is happening. The service pages explain the possible work and the checks involved in each type of visit.
Drainage
Clogged drain or sewer backup
A single clog is different from wastewater rising in a basement. An active backup is urgent. Tell us which fixtures are affected and stop using the affected drains.
Assessment
A blockage that keeps returning
When a drain repeatedly clogs or the cause remains unclear, a camera inspection may help assess an accessible pipe before choosing the next step.
Hot water
Electric water heater or hot water tank
Describe any leak, loss of hot water or unusual sound. If you know the tank’s location and capacity, include those details. An on-site assessment determines whether repair or replacement makes sense.
One borough, different buildings
Plan access in Verdun
The City identifies Wellington–De L’Église, Desmarchais–Crawford and L’Île-des-Sœurs as parts of Verdun. The building and the pipe’s location affect how a plumbing visit should be prepared.
In a plex
The basement and other units may matter
In a duplex or plex, a drain stack or water line may serve more than one unit. If the same problem appears on another floor, mention it and arrange basement access when possible.
In a condo
Separate the unit from common areas
On Nuns’ Island and elsewhere in Verdun, if the valve or pipe to be examined is in a shared mechanical room, contact the person responsible for access and work authorization.
In a business
Identify the affected area and access window
For premises on a commercial street such as Wellington, explain which fixtures cannot be used, whether water is on the floor, and when the plumbing can be reached.
When the City is involved
Good coordination prevents a stalled visit
Some work depends on an exterior water shutoff or on the sewer connection leading to the street. Tell us what can be accessed indoors so the next step and any municipal request can be assessed.
The indoor shutoff is not enough?
If the water cannot be stopped inside, the City explains how to request an exterior shutoff or valve location. The owner or an authorized representative may need to make the request and be present.
The sewer connection may be damaged?
A blocked line beneath the street does not automatically mean the City will repair it. Montréal lists the conditions for a structural issue and the inspection documents required for a request.
For excavation involving a water or sewer connection, check the City’s Verdun-specific permit process before scheduling the project.
Make the call useful
Four details to share first
Describe what you see, even if you do not know the cause. For an emergency, lead with active water, a backup or an immediate hazard. For planned work, these details help arrange access.
- Address and affected floor
- Fixtures or rooms involved
- Available shutoff or mechanical room
- Your availability and on-site contact

Frequently asked questions
Before a plumbing visit in Verdun
A few answers to help you prepare without taking a fixture apart or assuming you know the source of the trouble.
Does one slow drain always need a camera inspection?
No. The affected fixture, how often it clogs and whether other drains react help determine the approach. A camera can be more useful when a blockage returns or the condition of a pipe needs to be checked.
Could a leak in my unit come from a shared pipe?
It could, but an assessment is needed to establish the source. Mention any other rooms or units affected and the location of accessible shutoffs. In a condo or rental building, alert the person who manages common areas.
What if the indoor main valve will not shut off the water?
If water is flowing, call and explain what is happening. Do not enter an unsafe area to reach a valve. Depending on the cause and access, an exterior shutoff may require a City request from the owner or an authorized representative.
What should I provide for planned work?
Share the address, building type, fixture or pipe involved, your availability and the person who can authorize access. Photos may help when they show a label, valve or affected area, but they cannot replace an on-site assessment.
