Plumber in Boucherville
Boucherville is our town. Our address and our trucks are here, on rue Auguste-Descarries — not in another region, behind a web page with Boucherville in the name.
That changes two concrete things: how long it takes us to reach you in an emergency, and the fact that we already know the local sewer network. The City documents it itself: the combined network, where rain and wastewater share one pipe, is found mainly under homes built before 1978.
Boucherville is also where the municipal by-law is strictest about backwater valves — and most expensive to ignore.
Our address is in Boucherville: 1050 rue Auguste-Descarries. Every call we make on the South Shore starts here.
Worth knowing in Boucherville
A backwater valve is mandatory, whatever the building’s age
Article 37 of by-law 2015-232 is unambiguous: “whatever the year of construction of the building”, every owner “must install a backwater valve […] on all horizontal private connections on the ground floor or below street level”. The by-law also bans squeeze-in valves and valves installed outside the building.

This is the paragraph few owners have read. Should an owner fail to install the valves and “keep them in good working order”, “the City cannot be held liable for damage caused to the building and its contents” by a sewer backup. The same article requires maintenance at least once a year, by the owner.

The City writes that “the combined network is found mainly in the infrastructure of homes built before 1978”. In that kind of network, rain and wastewater travel together: one intense downpour is enough to saturate the pipe and push pressure back toward basements. The newer separate network keeps the two pipes apart.

The City is clear about where the line falls: “You are responsible for the infrastructure located between your property line and your house.” A blocked or collapsed connection on that side of the line is a private repair — which is also why a camera inspection often settles the question before any digging.
