Our Val-des-Monts Plumbing Services
Well Pump Services — Rural Essential
Virtually every Val-des-Monts property relies on a private well:
- Submersible pump repair and replacement — deep well systems
- Jet pump service — shallow well applications
- Pressure tank service — diagnose and repair cycling issues
- Low-yield well solutions — cisterns and holding tanks
- Pump controls and wiring — complete system service
Val-des-Monts well considerations:
- Varied well depths depending on location
- Rocky terrain affecting well drilling options
- Seasonal water table fluctuations
- Power reliability affecting pump operation
- Distance from service providers
Water Treatment — Essential for Well Water
Val-des-Monts well water quality varies by location. Common treatment needs:
- Iron and manganese removal — prevent staining and taste issues
- Sediment filtration — remove sand and particles
- Hardness treatment — water softeners for scale prevention
- pH correction — acidic water is common in granite bedrock
- UV disinfection — essential for bacterial contamination
- Tannin removal — tea-coloured water from organic matter
Water Quality Tip: The Laurentian Shield bedrock in Val-des-Monts often produces acidic water that can corrode copper pipes and fixtures. Proper pH treatment extends your plumbing system's lifespan.
Cottage & Seasonal Plumbing
Many Val-des-Monts properties are seasonal. We provide:
- Professional winterization — complete system drain and protection
- Spring commissioning — restart and test all systems
- Frozen pipe repair — emergency thawing and repair
- Seasonal inspections — catch issues before they become disasters
- Three-season to year-round conversions — upgrade for full-time use
Val-des-Monts Winterization: The region's cold winters (often -30°C and below) make proper winterization critical. We've repaired countless cottages damaged by frozen pipes—prevention is far cheaper than repair.
