Plumber in Boucherville | 24/7 Service | Plomberie A+
Founded in 1667 by Pierre Boucher, Boucherville is one of the oldest towns in Quebec, and its plumbing shows it. Along the St. Lawrence River, the Vieux-Boucherville (Old Boucherville) heritage district is lined with centuries-old homes and streets that carry more than three and a half centuries of history, just steps from the Sainte-Famille church and the Îles-de-Boucherville national park. Away from the water, the residential neighbourhoods that grew after the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel opened in 1967 tell a very different story. At Plomberie A+, a licensed RBQ plumber, we know both realities and we serve the entire South Shore, around the clock.
In Old Boucherville and the older streets near the river, we regularly run into cracked cast iron, corroded galvanized pipe and, in the oldest properties, lead water service lines worth keeping an eye on. These homes call for a careful hand to protect their original finishes. The newer sectors, built from the 1960s and 1970s onward, come with their own issues: aging foundation drains, cracked sewer laterals and water heaters near the end of their life. Our priority is to get the diagnosis right before we touch anything.
Our plumbing services in Boucherville
24/7 emergency plumbing
A burst pipe in the dead of winter or a sewer backup on a Sunday night will not wait. We answer emergency calls across Boucherville, from Old Boucherville to the newest subdivisions, around the clock. See our 24/7 emergency plumber service for a fast response.
Backwater valves and flood protection
Boucherville is built on the edge of the St. Lawrence, and the water has not forgotten it. In August 2024, more than 150 mm of rain in 24 hours caused sewer backups and flooded basements on streets like Jean-Plouf, Doyon and Père-Le Jeune, an area already hit in 2022. In the historic core, part of the sewer network is a combined system in which stormwater and wastewater share the same pipe, which raises the risk of backups during heavy rain. A properly installed and maintained backwater valve is your best protection. We install them to code and can also assess a sump pump for low-lying lots near the river.
Drain cleaning and camera inspection
Boucherville’s mature streets, lined with trees that are sometimes sixty years old and more, hide a common problem: roots working their way into sewer laterals. Before assuming the worst, we run a camera down the line. Explore our drain cleaning and camera inspection services to see exactly what is blocking the flow.
Old pipe replacement
In the pre-1960 homes of Old Boucherville, we replace cracked cast iron, clogged galvanized pipe and old lead water service lines. We work carefully in these heritage properties to minimize the impact on woodwork, floors and period finishes, while bringing your plumbing up to today’s standards.
Water heater installation and replacement
A leaking water heater, or one that can no longer keep up, is best handled before it fails. We advise on the right model and take care of the water heater installation properly, the first time.

Frequently asked questions — Plumbing in Boucherville
My Old Boucherville home is more than a hundred years old. Are my pipes still good?
Not necessarily. Older homes in the heritage core often have cast iron, galvanized pipe, or even a lead water service line. A camera inspection and a pressure test tell us what needs replacing, without tearing everything apart and without damaging the original finishes.
My basement near the river has flooded before. What can I do?
The first step is to make sure your backwater valve is installed and working, especially in sectors where the sewer network is older. We can also assess whether a sump pump makes sense for low-lying lots near the St. Lawrence. An on-site inspection lets us pinpoint where the water is really coming from.
Is there a difference between plumbing in old Boucherville and the newer neighbourhoods?
Yes, a big one. In Old Boucherville, we mostly deal with cast iron, galvanized pipe and the occasional lead line to replace. In the neighbourhoods built after 1967, it is more about foundation drains and water heaters reaching the end of their life. We tailor our approach to the type of home instead of applying a one-size-fits-all recipe.
