What problem are you noticing in your plumbing?
The right service depends on the symptom, the number of fixtures affected and where the problem appears. Choose the situation closest to yours. If the cause is still unclear, call us and simply describe what you are seeing.
A leak is active
Pipe, connection, faucet, damp ceiling or water near an appliance.
Water-leak repair →Water is backing up or overflowing
Backup through a lower drain, sewer odour, gurgling or contaminated water.
Sewer-backup service →A fixture will not drain
Sink, basin, shower, toilet, floor drain or main line.
Drain clearing and cleaning →The blockage keeps returning
Several fixtures affected, recurring trouble or an uncertain location.
Camera inspection →The water heater is failing or leaking
Insufficient hot water, an ageing unit, visible corrosion or water on the floor.
Electric water heaters →A room needs plumbing changes
Kitchen, bathroom, laundry room or reconfiguration of existing connections.
Renovation plumbing →The realities of Montreal buildings
In Montreal, the building changes how the work is approached.
Two identical symptoms do not necessarily involve the same access or work. The building type, age of the pipes and shared system all matter from the first call.
Shared stacks in plexes
When a drain affects several units, the plumber must determine whether the problem remains in a private branch or reaches a shared stack.
View camera inspection →Limited access and finished basements
Access panels, closed ceilings, storage and compact mechanical rooms affect the diagnosis and preparation.
View residential plumbing →Older water service lines
In some older Montreal buildings, the material, condition and route of the supply line should be checked before work is planned.
View water-service-line work →Protecting basement fixtures
An accessible backwater valve, working floor drain and suitable sump pump may all form part of a protection strategy.

Frequently asked questions
Calling a plumber in Montreal
Essential answers before an emergency, repair or planned project.
514 312-1521Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service in Montreal?
Yes. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for active problems such as a major leak, sewer backup, overflow or burst pipe. Call 514 312-1521 directly.
Which areas of Montreal do you serve?
We serve Anjou, Saint-Léonard, Montreal North, RDP–PAT, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal East, Rosemont, Villeray, Ahuntsic, the Plateau, downtown, Saint-Laurent, CDN–NDG, Verdun and LaSalle.
When should I call instead of using the form?
Call when water is actively flowing, a fixture is overflowing, sewage is backing up, a pipe has burst or the building faces immediate risk. Use the Contact page for an installation, renovation or non-urgent repair.
Do you work in duplexes, triplexes and condos?
Yes. Identify the building type, affected floor, other fixtures involved and access to common areas. These details help distinguish a private branch from a shared pipe or stack.
How much does a plumber cost in Montreal?
The cost depends on the problem, access, time required, parts and timing of the service call. Describe the symptom and building when you call so the request can be properly directed before the plumber arrives.
Is a camera required to clear a drain?
Not always. A simple blockage can sometimes be handled directly. A camera inspection is especially useful when the problem returns, affects several fixtures or is located somewhere uncertain.
Can you replace an electric water heater?
Yes. We can install, replace or inspect an electric water heater that is leaking, ageing or providing less hot water.
Are you a licensed plumbing contractor?
Yes. Plomberie Anjou operates under RBQ licence 5688-9025-01 and is a CMMTQ member.
