Plumber in Montreal West | 24/7 Service | Plomberie A+
Montreal West is a small town like nowhere else on the island. Incorporated in 1897, this independent, largely English-speaking municipality grew up around the railway: the Grand Trunk tracks were laid at the south edge of town in 1855, and the Canadian Pacific line followed in 1886. Those rails literally shaped the town and still cut it in two today, with the Exo commuter train line running through its heart. On barely 400 acres you will find beautiful single-family homes dating from around 1900, built in the Victorian and Edwardian styles, lining maple-shaded avenues. At Plomberie A+, a licensed RBQ plumber, we understand this heritage housing stock and we serve every corner of town, around the clock.
These beautiful century-old homes come with a catch: the plumbing is often as old as the house itself. In homes built before 1960 we regularly run into cracked cast iron, corroded galvanized pipe, and sometimes old lead water service lines. The original sewer laterals — clay or cast iron — have grown brittle over the decades and let in roots from the town’s mature trees. Getting the diagnosis right before we dig or open a wall is what separates real plumbing work from a temporary patch.
Our plumbing services in Montreal West
24/7 emergency plumbing
A pipe that freezes and bursts in January, or a sewer backup on a Sunday night, will not wait. We answer emergency calls right across Montreal West, on both sides of the tracks, around the clock. See our 24/7 emergency plumber service for a fast response.
Backwater valves and flood protection
In a town where so many basements are finished and lived in, a sewer backup is an expensive disaster. The Quebec Plumbing Code requires a backwater valve on fixtures located below street level, and it is the single best protection against backups during heavy rain. We install, inspect and maintain these valves to keep your basement dry.
Drain cleaning and camera inspection
Montreal West’s avenues, shaded by maples that are decades old, hide a classic problem: tree roots working their way into aging 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 and lead service line replacement
In the town’s Victorian and Edwardian homes, we replace cracked cast iron, clogged galvanized pipe, and old lead water service lines. We work carefully in these heritage properties to protect the original woodwork, floors and finishes.
Water heater installation and replacement
A leaking water heater, or one that can no longer keep up, is best replaced before it fails outright. We advise on the right model and handle the water heater installation properly, the first time.

Frequently asked questions — Plumbing in Montreal West
My house dates back to around 1900. Are my pipes still good?
Not necessarily. Montreal West’s Victorian and Edwardian homes often have cast iron, galvanized pipe, or a lead water service line. A camera inspection and a pressure test tell us what needs replacing, without tearing everything apart unnecessarily.
My street is lined with large maples. Are they a risk to my drains?
Yes — it is one of the most common problems in the town’s older, tree-lined areas. Roots seek out moisture and creep into the joints of old clay sewer laterals. A camera inspection quickly confirms whether there is intrusion so we can recommend the right fix.
My home is close to the train line. Does that affect my plumbing?
Vibration and disturbed ground around railway corridors can add to soil settlement and stress older sewer laterals that are already cracked. If you are getting repeated backups, a camera inspection lets us check the true condition of the line before you commit to any repair.
