Plumber in Verchères

Verchères is a riverside municipality, and its rules on sewer connections are spread across several by-laws rather than a single text.

The principle is constant: where the sewer network exists, the owner must have retention valves compliant with the Plumbing Code, and they must work — not merely exist.

We serve Verchères from Boucherville by way of Varennes.

Plomberie Boucherville does not have an office in Verchères. We travel there from Boucherville.

Worth knowing in Verchères

  • Code-compliant valves, in working order

    The Municipality imposes “the obligation to have retention valves compliant with the plumbing code” wherever the sewer network exists, and stresses that they must be functional. A valve that is present but jammed does not meet the requirement — that is the difference between a compliant installation and one that merely looks compliant.

  • The rules are spread across several by-laws

    Verchères covers the subject through several separate texts — a by-law on sewer discharges, one on sewer connections, one on water and sewer hookups on private property, and one on new water and sewer services — on top of CMM by-law 2008-47. Before any work, checking which one applies is the right reflex.

Frequently asked questions in Verchères

Is a backwater valve mandatory in Verchères?
Where the sewer network exists, yes: the Municipality imposes “the obligation to have retention valves compliant with the plumbing code”, and stresses they must be functional. A valve that is present but jammed does not meet the requirement.
Which by-law applies to my work?
It depends on the work: Verchères covers the subject through several separate texts — sewer discharges, sewer connections, hookups on private property, new water and sewer services — plus CMM by-law 2008-47. Worth checking before starting.
How do I know my valve still works?
You have to look at it. The flap must move freely and the seat must be clean: debris, grit or scale stop it sealing. If it is not accessible — buried in a slab, closed behind finishing — that is already a problem, because it cannot be maintained.
Do you serve Verchères from Boucherville?
Yes, by way of Varennes along the river. Contrecœur, further east, is also covered. For an emergency, 514-475-5516 answers 24/7.
