Plumber in Lachine
Lachine mixes two very different housing stocks: homes and plexes built near the canal between the 1920s and 1940s, on land filled in after the canal was widened, and post-war bungalows further south, on streets laid out in the 1950s–60s. The historic canal-side fill causes more differential settling, which means more cracked drain joints.
A once-independent city merged into Montreal in 2002, Lachine's water network is in places older than its neighbouring boroughs'. A plumber handling your request may find galvanized water services still in place in the oldest sections, near Notre-Dame Street.
All services
Water service line and galvanized pipe replacement
Pressure that's dropped for years, rusty water on start-up, an upstairs tap reduced to a trickle: classic signs of a galvanized pipe corroded shut from the inside.
Cast-iron drain stack repair and replacement
A sewer smell in the basement, a damp stain tracking the stack, a slight sag at the base: century-old cast iron cracks from the inside before it shows on the outside.
Basement floor drain and backup service
Every thaw, the floor drain backs up before the weeping drain can keep up: a sign of a missing check valve or a foundation drain at the end of its life.
Water heater and fixture installation
A new water heater plumbed onto rusted galvanized pipe will never deliver its full flow: the plumber should assess the cause before recommending work.
